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.”

USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 2. Voltage Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation Board
2.1INTRODUCTION
The blank Printed Circuit Board (PCB) allows the desired voltage supervisor or voltage
detector device to be installed along with other desired passive components (resistor
and capacitors) and connection posts.
The Voltage Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation Board PCB supports four different
SOT-23-3 pinouts. Three of these pinouts are used by the Voltage Supervisor or
Voltage Detector product family, while the fourth is used by other Microchip analog
products (see Appendix C. “Microchip Analog SOT-23 Device Compatibility”).
This board has been made generic so that other devices may be supported with this
board. However, the silk-screen markings are designed for ease-of-use with the
voltage supervisor devices.
2.2FEATURES
The Voltage Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation Board has the following features:
• Connection terminals may be either through-hole or surface-mount
• Four SOT-23-3 pinouts supported
• Optional passive components for:
- Power Supply Filtering
- Output Filtering
- Output Pull-up Resistor
- Output Pull-down Resistor
- Output Loading Resistor
- Output Series Resistor
• Silk-screen area to write specifics of implemented circuit , such as MCP111, 2.7V,
10 kΩ (to indicate that the device is the MCP111 with the 2.7V trip point and an
external 10 kΩ pull-up resistor on the output)

Voltage Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation Board User’s Guide
2.3GETTING STARTED
The Voltag e Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation Board is a blank PCB that allows the user to
configure the circuit to their exact requirements. The Passive components use the surface mount 805 package layout. Figure 2-1 shows the board circuit. T a ble 2-1 shows
which circuit option needs to be used for a given voltage supervisor/voltage detector.
There are currently no voltage supervisors/voltage detectors that use the Option 3
pinout. For other Microchip Analog Devices, please refer to Appendix C. “Microchip
Voltage Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation Board User’s Guide
e
2.3.1The Hardware
Figure 2-2 shows the layout of the Voltage Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation Board. This
is a small board (1”x1.2” (25.4 mm x 30.5 mm)) that is single-sided. There are three
connection points (V
surface-mount connector posts. Additionally, a test point is available on the device
V
, which may be useful if Resistor R3 is installed.
OUT
The different SOT-23-3 layout options are outlined in the diagram below, with Opt 1,
Opt 2, Opt 3 and Opt 4 indicating the layout option of that SOT-23-3 footprint.
Resistor R1 is a pull-up resistor that may need to be installed for devices with an
open-drain output. Though resistor R2 is not currently required, it was placed for
possible future requirements. Resistor R3, too, is not required, but may be useful if this
board is to be interfaced into existing circuits. If resistor R3 is to be installed, remember
to cut the trace that “shorts out” R3. Capacitors C1 and C2 are bypass capacitors that
may be required to be installed, depending on the device selected and the system
requirements (such as the noise present on the power supply). Table 2-2 describes the
components.
The Voltage Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation Board PCB is designed to be flexible in the
type of device evaluation that can be implemented.
The following sections describe each element of this evaluation board in further detail.
2.4.1Power and Ground
The Voltage Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation Board can have connection posts installed
for the power (V
surface-mount connectors.
For device evaluation, the use of an external variable power supply or waveform
generator is required. The type of equipment used will determine the evaluation that
may be performed.
) and ground (VSS) planes. The layout allows either through-hole or
DD
2.4.2Output (V
OUT
)
The Voltage Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation Board can have a connection post installed
for the output (V
) signal. The layout allows either a through-hole connector or a
OUT
surface mount connector.
For device evaluation, the use of an oscilloscope or digital volt meter (DVM) is required.
The type of equipment used will determine the evaluation that may be performed.
2.4.3SOT-23-3 Footprints
There are four SOT-23-3 pinout options that the Voltage Supervisor SOT23 Evaluation
Board PCB supports. Figure 2-3 shows these four pinouts. Some devices may use different nomenclature for the pin names, such as GND instead of V
and RESET (or RESET
) or RST instead of V
OUT
.
Other Microchip analog devices may be used with this PCB if the power and ground
pins match one of these four options. Appendix C. “Microchip Analog SOT-23 Device Compatibility” discusses other Microchip analog devices that may be used
with this PCB.

2.4.4Passive Components (C1, C2, R1, R2 and R3)
The footprints for these components are present to allow maximum flexibility in the use
of this PCB to evaluate a wide range of SOT-23-3 devices. The purpose of these components may vary depending on the device under evaluation and how it is to be used
in the desired circuit. Please refer to the device data sheet for the components that
should be used when using that device.

2.5EVALUATING THE DEVICE
When evaluating a Voltage Supervisor or Voltage Detector device, a minimum set of
test equipment should be available. Table 2-3 shows the recommended test
equipment.

Appendix C. Microchip Analog SOT-23 Device Compatibility
C.1INTRODUCTION
This appendix documents other Microchip analog devices that can be evaluated using
this PCB. New devices may be introduced after the publication of this document that
may be supported. Compare the pinout of the device to the PCB schematic/layout to
determine compatibility of any SOT-23-3 (3-pin SOT-23) packaged device.
C.2PCB COMPATIBILITY
There are four SOT-23-3 (3-pin SOT-23) pinouts that the Voltage Supervisor SOT23
Evaluation Board PCB supports. Figure C-1 shows these four pinouts. Other Microchip
analog devices may be used with this PCB if the power and ground pins match one of
these four options. Though these devices may use different nomenclature for the pin
names, as long as the power and ground signals match one of the four options, this
PCB should be able to be used to evaluate that device.
T able C-1 shows the Microchip analog device part number, the analog family the device
belongs to, which footprint option to use and the recommended components to use for
the circuit. Please refer to the device data sheet for complete information of the application circuit.

One of the characteristics that a designer may wish to evaluate on a LDO is how the
LDO responds to transient loads. Figure C-2 shows a system block diagram for
evaluating a LDO and a typical waveform response (at test point) for the function
generator signal. The output of the function generator connects to a BJT transistor to
simulate the fast switching loads of the circuit.

Look at both the worst-case amplitude load requirements for a loaded and unloaded
system. As the output response of the LDOs become faster, the selection of a smaller
