AME AME8500 uProcessor Supervisory Datasheet
The AME8500 family allows users to customize CPU reset functions without external components. These circuits monitor power supply voltage in uP-based systems, asserting a reset immediately when the voltage drops below a threshold and releasing it after a specific time interval once the voltage recovers.
Key features include tight voltage threshold tolerance (+/- 1.5%), a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and low quiescent current (<3.0uA). The devices are available in SOT-23 and SOT-89 packages with options for active high or active low reset outputs.

Questions answered in these manuals
What is the quiescent current of the AME8500?
The device features micropower quiescent current less than 3.0uA.
Can the reset output be configured as open drain?
Yes, the reset output may be configured as either push/pull or open drain.
What is the function of the AME8501 overtemperature shutdown?
When the ambient temperature exceeds 80°C a reset is asserted and remains asserted until the temperature falls below 60°C.
Is an external pull-up resistor required for open-drain outputs?
Yes, an external pull-up resistor is required if an open-drain output is used.
What is the operating supply voltage range for the AME8500/8501?
The devices operate from 1.6 V to 5 V.
How many voltage‑threshold options are available?
There are 11 selectable voltage‑threshold options.
