MIC2776
Micro-Power Low Voltage Supervisor
General Description
The MIC2776 is a power supply supervisor which provides
under-voltage monitoring and power-on reset generation in a
compact 5-pin SOT package. Features include an adjustable
under-voltage detector, a delay-generator, a manual reset
input, and a choice of active-high, active-low, or open-drain
active-low reset output. The user-adjustable monitoring input
is compared against a 300mV reference. This low reference
voltage allows monitoring voltages lower than those supported
by previous supervisor ICs.
The reset output is asserted for no less than 140ms at power-
on and any time the input voltage drops below the reference
voltage. It remains asserted for the timeout period after the
input voltage subsequently rises back above the threshold
boundary. A reset can be generated at any time by asserting
the manual reset input, /MR. The reset output will remain ac-
tive at least 140ms after the release of /MR. The /MR input
can also be used to daisy-chain the MIC2776 onto existing
power monitoring circuitry or other supervisors. Hysteresis
is included to prevent chattering due to noise. Typical supply
current is a low 3.0µA.
