Supervisory circuit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supervisory circuits are semiconductor devices that detect and monitor voltage levels in power supplies, microprocessors, and other systems. They are protection circuits that monitor one or more system parameters. When parameter thresholds are exceeded or dangerous conditions exist, supervisory circuits react to protect the monitored system and correct the parameters. Supervisory circuits are known by a variety of names, including battery monitors, power supply monitors, supply supervisory circuits, and reset circuits..
