3.8 Reset inputs (RSTIN1 & RSTIN2)
The M41ST85W provides two independent inputs which can generate an output reset. The
duration and function of these resets is identical to a reset generated by a power cycle.
Table 5 and Figure 17 illustrate the AC reset characteristics of this function. Pulses shorter
than t
RLRH1
and t
RLRH2
will not generate a reset condition. RSTIN1 and RSTIN2 are each
internally pulled up to V
CC
through a 100 kΩ resistor.

3.9 Power-fail input/output
The power-fail input (PFI) is compared to an internal reference voltage (1.25 V). If PFI is less
than the power-fail threshold (V
PFI
), the power-fail output (PFO) will go low. This function is
intended for use as an undervoltage detector to signal a failing power supply. Typically PFI is
connected through an external voltage divider (see Figure 5 on page 11) to either the
unregulated DC input (if it is available) or the regulated output of the V
CC
regulator. The
voltage divider can be set up such that the voltage at PFI falls below V
PFI
several
milliseconds before the regulated V
CC
input to the M41ST85W or the microprocessor drops
below the minimum operating voltage.
During battery backup, the power-fail comparator turns off and PFO
goes (or remains) low.
This occurs after V
CC
drops below V
PFD
(min). When power returns, PFO is forced high,
irrespective of V
PFI
for the write protect time (t
rec
), which is the time from V
PFD
(max) until the
inputs are recognized. At the end of this time, the power-fail comparator is enabled and PFO
