A "reset IC", which is one type of power supply IC, is also called a "voltage detector" or "power supply monitoring IC". By monitoring and detecting when the voltage reaches a threshold, reset ICs help various devices to start and stop safely.
This page summarizes the basic knowledge of reset ICs and what they can do. In addition, we have posted MinebeaMitsumi's reset IC as an easy-to-understand selection table that includes a block diagram.
