Additional Details:

The R3111Q431C-TR features a detection voltage of 4.3V. It incorporates a built-in delay circuit, which introduces a delay time after the voltage recovers above the threshold to prevent false resets. The supply current is typically very low, in the microampere range. This IC is usually supplied in a small SOT-23 package. It is designed to operate over a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to +85°C. The output configuration is N-channel open drain, requiring an external pull-up resistor to establish a defined output voltage level when the input voltage is above the detection threshold. The value of the pull-up resistor should be chosen based on the specific application requirements and the desired logic level.
