The STM1061N38WX6F is an IC component manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is a voltage supervisor/watchdog IC commonly used in microprocessor systems to monitor the power supply voltage and reset the system if the voltage falls below a predefined threshold. Here are the key features of this IC component:
1. Supervision and Reset: The STM1061N38WX6F provides precise monitoring of the power supply voltage and generates a reset signal whenever the voltage drops below a specific threshold. This ensures that the microprocessor or other critical components in the system are not subjected to erratic operation due to insufficient power supply.
2. Wide Operating Voltage Range: It operates within a wide voltage range, typically from 1V to 6V. This flexibility allows the IC to be used in a variety of applications with different power supply voltage levels.
3. Adjustable Reset Threshold: The IC allows the user to set the reset threshold voltage using external resistors, enabling customization according to the specific system requirements. This feature ensures compatibility with various applications.
4. Watchdog Timer Functionality: The STM1061N38WX6F also includes a watchdog timer feature that can be enabled via an input pin. When enabled, the IC must periodically receive a signal from the microprocessor to avoid triggering a watchdog reset. If the microprocessor fails to send the signal within a predefined time, the IC generates a reset signal, allowing for automatic system recovery
