Microchip Technology MIC809JYC3-TR

The MIC809JYC3-TR is a high-quality, compact supervisory circuit designed and manufactured by Microchip Technology, a leading provider of smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions. This tiny device plays a crucial role in monitoring the power supply voltage in microprocessor systems, ensuring that the system operates within acceptable voltage thresholds and providing a reset signal to the microprocessor whenever necessary.

Encased in a small 3-pin SOT-23 package, the MIC809JYC3-TR is designed for space-constrained applications. Despite its diminutive size, it is robust and reliable, capable of handling a wide operating voltage range that typically spans from 1.0V to 5.5V. This versatility makes it suitable for a broad array of products, from battery-operated devices to sophisticated computing systems.

One of the key features of the MIC809JYC3-TR is its precision voltage monitoring capability. It has a factory-trimmed threshold voltage that ensures accurate monitoring without the need for external components. This precision is vital for systems where voltage fluctuations can lead to data loss, erratic performance, or even hardware damage.

The device is equipped with a built-in active-low reset output. The reset signal is asserted when the monitored voltage drops below the threshold, and it remains asserted until the voltage recovers and a built-in delay time has elapsed. This delay ensures that the system has stabilized before normal operation resumes, which is essential for preventing system errors during power-up or transient conditions.

Additionally, the MIC809JYC3-TR features low power consumption, which is an important consideration for battery-powered applications. It draws minimal current from the power supply, thereby extending the life of the battery and reducing the overall power requirement of the system.

With its tiny footprint, precision voltage monitoring, low power consumption, and ease of integration, the MIC809JYC3-TR from Microchip Technology is an ideal solution for system designers looking to enhance the reliability and stability of their electronic products.
