Description
The MCP111/112 are voltage-detecting devices
designed to keep a microcontroller in reset until the
system voltage has stabilized at the appropriate level
for reliable system operation. These devices also
operate as protection from brown-out conditions when
the system supply voltage drops below the specified
threshold voltage level. Eight different trip voltag es a re
available.

For many of today’s microcontroller applicat ions, care
must be taken to prevent low-power conditions that can
cause many different system problems. The most
common causes are brown-out condition s, where the
system supply drops below the operating level momentarily. The second most common cause is when a slowly
decaying power supply causes the microcontroller to
begin executing instructions without sufficient voltage to
sustain SRAM, thus producing indeterminate results.

The minimum pulse width (time) required to cause a
reset may be an important criteria in the implementation of a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit. This time is
referred to as transient dur ation, defined as the amount
of time needed for these supervisory devices to
respond to a drop in V
dependant on the magnitu de of V
speaking, the transient duration decreases with
increases in V

Figure 4-3 shows a typ ical tran sient dur ation vs . reset
comparator overdrive for which the MCP111/112 will
not generate a reset pulse. It shows that the farther
below the trip point the transient pulse goes, the
duration of the pulse required to cause a reset gets
shorter. Figure 2-18 shows the transient response
characteristics for the MCP111/112.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are com mitted to continuously improving the code protect ion f eatures of our
