DESCRIPTION

The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP100/101 is a voltage supervisory device designed to keep a microcontroller in reset until the system voltage has reached the proper level and stabilized. It also operates as protection from brown-out conditions when the supply voltage drops below a safe operating level. Both devices are available with a choice of seven different trip voltages and both have push-pull outputs.

FEATURES

• Holds microcontroller in reset until supply voltage reaches stable operating level

• Resets microcontroller during power loss

• Precision monitoring of 3V, 3.3V, and 5V systems

• 7 voltage trip points available
