Microchip Technology MIC812MUTR Voltage Supervisor
The MIC812MUTR is a compact, highly precise voltage supervisor designed to monitor power supplies in digital systems and provide a significant level of system reliability. Manufactured by Microchip Technology, a leader in microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog, and Flash-IP solutions, this voltage supervisor ensures that your system's voltage remains within specified thresholds, safeguarding your electronic devices from unexpected shutdowns or failures due to power fluctuations.
This device is particularly suitable for battery-powered electronics, where maintaining the correct operating voltage is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. The MIC812MUTR is designed to assert a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage falls below a preset threshold, keeping the system in a reset state until the supply voltage returns to an acceptable level and stabilizes for a specified period, known as the reset timeout period.
Key features of the MIC812MUTR include:
- Reset Threshold Accuracy: The device boasts a high degree of accuracy (±2.5%) for the reset threshold voltage, ensuring reliable operation even in critical applications.
- Low Power Consumption: With an extremely low operating current of 3.5 µA, this voltage supervisor is an ideal choice for power-sensitive designs.
- Manual Reset Capability: A manual reset input allows users to trigger a system reset with an external switch or software control, providing an additional layer of system control.
- Fast Response Time: The MIC812MUTR reacts quickly to voltage variations, ensuring that the system is protected without unnecessary delays.
- Compact Package: Available in a space-saving 4-pin SOT-143 package, it is suitable for use in applications where PCB real estate is at a premium.
The MIC812MUTR is a versatile component that can be used in a variety of applications, including microprocessor/microcontroller systems, computers, controllers, portable/battery-operated equipment, and intelligent instruments. Its robust design and precise monitoring make it an essential part of any system that requires reliable voltage supervision to maintain operational integrity.
Overall, the MIC812MUTR from Microchip Technology is a smart choice for designers looking to enhance the safety and stability of their electronic systems with a reliable, low-power voltage supervisor.
