The MCP100T-270I/TT is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc. It is a voltage supervisor designed to monitor the power supply voltage levels and provide a reset signal to the microcontroller or other digital systems when the voltage falls below a specific threshold.
Key Features of MCP100T-270I/TT:
1. Voltage Monitoring: The MCP100T-270I/TT continuously monitors the power supply voltage. It has a fixed threshold voltage of 2.70V that can be used to detect low voltage conditions.
2. Reset Signal Generation: When the monitored voltage drops below the threshold voltage, the MCP100T-270I/TT generates a reset signal. This signal can be used to reset the microcontroller or other digital components, ensuring proper operation during low voltage events.
3. Precision Voltage Reference: It incorporates a precision voltage reference to accurately compare the supply voltage with the threshold voltage. This ensures reliable monitoring and reset generation.
4. Adjustable Reset Timeout Delay: The MCP100T-270I/TT allows a user-configurable reset timeout delay through an external capacitor. This helps in preventing false reset signals during voltage dips or transients
