The MCP120T-300I/TT is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. This IC is a voltage supervisor or monitoring device that ensures a controlled power supply in electronic systems. It is commonly used in various applications to monitor power supply voltage levels and initiate system resets or alerts when voltage fluctuations occur. Here is an overview and key features of the MCP120T-300I/TT:
1. Supply Voltage Monitoring: The MCP120T-300I/TT is designed to monitor supply voltages in the range of 1.8V to 5.5V, making it compatible with a wide range of power supply configurations.
2. Power-On Reset (POR): This IC provides a built-in power-on reset feature that ensures a stable startup condition by keeping the system reset until the supply voltage reaches a stable level. This feature helps to avoid any unpredictable behavior during power-up.
3. Manual Reset Input: The MCP120T-300I/TT also offers a manual reset input pin. When this pin is pulled low, it allows the user to manually initiate a system reset, which can be useful for troubleshooting or debugging purposes.
4. Adjustable Reset Threshold: This IC allows for an adjustable reset threshold, allowing users to set the desired voltage level at which the system will reset. By using external resistors, the reset threshold voltage can be fine-tuned to meet specific application requirements
