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 committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

Preface
DOCUMENT REVISION HISTORY
Revision B (May 2006)
• Updated Bill of Materials (BOM) to show RoHS-compliant part numbers.
This chapter provides an overview of the Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation
Board and covers the following topics:
• What is the Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board?
• What the Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board Kit includes
1.2WHAT IS THE VOLTAGE SUPERVISOR SOT-23-5/6 EVALUATION BOARD?
The Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board allows the system designer to
quickly evaluate the operation of Microchip Technology’s voltage supervisors and
voltage detectors in the SOT-23-5 (5-pin SOT-23) or SOT-23-6 (6-pin SOT-23)
packages.
The Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
supports the four different SOT-23-6 pinouts (which also supports compatible
SOT-23-5 footprints) and one SOT-23-5 footprint.
The Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board has been made generic so that
other devices in the SOT-23-5 and SOT-23-6 packages may be supported with this
board. Microchip device families supported include:
• Voltage Supervisors/Voltage Detectors
• Nonvolatile Digital Potentiometers (Digi-Pots)
• Operational Amplifiers (Op Amps)
• Comparators
• Low Drop-out Regulators (LDOs)
• Thermal sensors
• Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs)
• PFM/PWM Step-Down DC/DC Controllers
• Battery Charger Controllers
•PICmicro

1.3WHAT THE VOLTAGE SUPERVISOR SOT-23-5/6 EVALUATION BOARD KIT
INCLUDES
This Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board Kit includes:
• Five Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board PCBs
• Three voltage supervisor device samples that can be installed on the Voltage
Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board PCBs
• Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board User’s Guide
(Electronic version on CD)
The blank Printed Circuit Board (PCB) allows the desired voltage supervisor/voltage
detector device to be installed along with other desired passive components (resistors
and capacitors) and connection posts.
The PCB supports four different SOT-23-6 and one SOT-23-5 pinouts. Two of these
pinouts are used by the voltage supervisor/voltage detector product family, while the
other pinouts are used by other Microchip analog and PICmicro
products (see Appendix C. “Microchip SOT-23-5/6 Device Compatibility”). The
PIC10F2XX devices uses the last pinout. This board is generic so that other devices
may be supported. However, the silk-screen markings are designed for ease-of-use
with the voltage supervisor devices.
2.2FEATURES
The Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board has the following features:
• Connection terminals may be either through-hole or surface-mount
• Four SOT-23-6 pinouts supported
- Also supports V
• One SOT-23-5 pinout supported
• Footprints for optional passive components for:
- Power supply filtering
- Device bypass capacitor
- Output filtering
- Output pull-up resistor
- Output pull-down resistor
- Output loading resistor
- Output series resistor
• Footprints for two optional switches for:
- Voltage supervisor manual resets
- PIC10F2XX general purpose inputs
• Silk screen area to write specifics of implemented circuit (on back of PCB), such
as TC52 2.7V, 10 kΩ (to indicate that the device is the TC52 with the 2.7V trip
point and an external 10 kΩ pull-up resistor on the output)
Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board User’s Guide
2.3GETTING STARTED
The Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 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.
This evaluation board supports the following Microchip device families:
• Voltage Supervisors/Voltage Detectors
• Nonvolatile Digital Potentiometers (Digi-Pots)
• Operational Amplifiers (Op Amps)
• Comparators
• Low Drop-Out Regulators (LDOs)
• Thermal Sensors
• Aanalog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs)
• PFM/PWM Step-Down DC/DC Controllers
• Battery Charger Controllers
•PICmicro
Table 2-1 shows these product families, the devices that are supported and which
SOT-23-5/6 layout option to use. Devices that are in a 5-pin SOT-23 package can be
installed into the SOT-23-6 footprint.
Table 2-2 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 B, C or E pinout. For other Microchip analog devices,
please refer to Appendix C. “Microchip SOT-23-5/6 Device Compatibility”.
