Microchip Technology MCP120T-300I/TT Voltage Supervisor
The MCP120T-300I/TT is a highly reliable voltage supervisory device designed and manufactured by Microchip Technology, a leading provider of smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions. This compact and efficient component is an essential part of any system that requires precise monitoring and control of its power supply to ensure stable and reliable operation.
The MCP120T-300I/TT is engineered to maintain system integrity by monitoring the supply voltage and asserting a reset signal whenever the monitored voltage drops below the factory programmed threshold. The reset signal remains asserted until the supply voltage returns to a stable condition above the threshold, ensuring that the system has adequate time to return to a known, safe state.
Key Features:
- Voltage Threshold: The device has a preset threshold voltage of 3.00V, which is ideal for 3.3V systems, ensuring that the devices operate within their recommended voltage ranges.
- Accuracy: It offers a tight voltage threshold tolerance, providing highly accurate monitoring that is critical for sensitive electronic applications.
- Reset Timeout: Features a minimum reset timeout of 350ms, which gives the system ample time to recover before attempting to restart, thereby preventing system instability.
- Temperature Range: The component is designed to operate over an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for harsh environments.
- Package: It comes in a 3-Pin SOT-23 package, which is known for its small footprint, making it an excellent choice for space-constrained applications.
- Supply Voltage Range: The device supports a supply voltage range from 1.0V to 5.5V, accommodating a wide range of applications.
The MCP120T-300I/TT also features low supply current requirements, which is beneficial for battery-operated devices where power conservation is crucial. It is an ideal solution for microcontroller power supply monitoring, portable electronics, intelligent instruments, and other critical system voltage monitoring applications where precise voltage thresholds are necessary.
With the MCP120T-300I/TT, designers can ensure their systems are protected from under-voltage conditions, enhancing the reliability and longevity of their products. Microchip Technology's commitment to quality and performance is evident in this voltage supervisor, which is designed to meet the stringent requirements of modern electronic systems.
