The MIC2012PCM-TR is an IC (integrated circuit) component commonly used in electronic circuits. It is a voltage detector and reset generator designed to monitor the status of a power supply voltage and provide a reset signal to the microcontroller or other digital devices when the voltage falls below a predefined threshold level.
One of the key features of the MIC2012PCM-TR is its low voltage detection threshold. It offers a precise voltage monitoring capability with a detection threshold of 2.93V, making it suitable for applications that require a low voltage reset signal. This ensures that the connected digital devices are reset when the power supply voltage falls below the specified level, preventing any unreliable or erratic operation.
Another important feature of this IC component is its adjustable reset timeout period. It allows the design engineers to define the reset pulse duration by external resistor and capacitor values as per their specific requirements. This flexibility makes the MIC2012PCM-TR adaptable to various applications, enabling customization based on the desired time delay before the reset signal is deactivated.
Additionally, the MIC2012PCM-TR exhibits a low quiescent current consumption of only 3µA, which minimizes power consumption and helps prolong the battery life in portable devices. Moreover, it comes equipped with a hysteresis feature that eliminates multiple reset signals during voltage fluctuations near the threshold level. This feature ensures that the reset output remains stable and reduces the chances of false triggering
