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”.
Figure 2-2 shows the layout of the Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board.
This is a small four-layer board (1.5" x 2" (38.1 mm x 50.8 mm)). There are six
connection points/pads that can use either through-hole or surface-mount connector
posts.
Additionally, a test point is available between the device pin and the PCB pad that may
be useful if the in-line resistor (R1A, R1C, R1D or R1E) is installed.
The different SOT-23 layout options are outlined in Section 2.4.3 “SOT-23-6 and SOT-23-5 Footprints”, with Opt A, Opt B, Opt C, Opt D and Opt E indicating the layout
option of that SOT-23-5/6 footprint.
There are six pads on the PCB. One is labeled VDD, one is labeled VSS, with all pads
having a label that indicates the footprint option used (shown as “A B C D E”) and a
label underneath that indicates the pin number of that footprint. This footprint option/pin
number combination will be used to indicate the remaining pads. If the device is placed
in the option A footprint, the remaining pads would be A1, A3, A4 and A6, where the
VDD pad is also A6 and the VSS pad is A2. Figure 2-2 has text added on each pad to
show what the “pad name” would be (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6). If the device required
the option C footprint, what is currently A1 for option A would then be referred to as pad
C6 for option C.
Each of these four pads has four passive components associated with them. A pull-up
resistor, a pull-down resistor, an in-line resistor and a filtering/load capacitor. The
pull-up resistor is always R2x, the pull-down resistor is R3x, the in-line resistor is R1x
and the filtering/load capacitor is C5x. The “x” is an alpha character that corresponds
to a particular pad. So pad A1’s pull-up resistor is R2A.
The green area of Figure 2-2 shows the silk screen on the bottom layer of the PCB.
This is where the details of the implemented circuit can be written.
Resistor R2x is a pull-up resistor that may need to be installed for devices with an
open-drain output. Though resistor R3x is not currently required, it was placed for
possible future requirements. Resistor R1x is not required, but may be useful if this
board is to be interfaced into existing circuits. If resistor R1x is to be installed, remember to cut the trace that “shorts out” R3. Capacitors C1, C2, C3, C4, C6, C5A, C5C,
C5D, C5E and C5F 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 2-3 describes the components.
The Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 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 SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board can have connection posts
installed for the power (V
through-hole or 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.
2.4.2Pads A1, A3, A4 and A5 (for Footprint Option A)
The Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board can have a connection post
installed for the pads A1, A3, A4 and A5 signals. Depending on the device installed,
this could be an input, output or bidirectional I/O signal. The layout allows either a
through-hole connector or a surface mount connector.
For device evaluation, the use of an oscilloscope or Digital Voltmeter (DVM) is required.
The type of equipment used will determine the evaluation that may be performed.
) and ground (VSS) planes. The layout allows either
Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board User’s Guide
2.4.3SOT-23-6 and SOT-23-5 Footprints
There are four SOT-23-6 and one SOT-23-5 pinout options that the Voltage Supervisor
SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board PCB supports. Figure 2-3 shows these four pinouts.
Figure 2-4 shows the single SOT-23-5 pinout option. Some devices may use different
nomenclature for the pin names, such as GND instead of V
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 SOT-23-5/6 Device Compatibility” discusses other Microchip analog devices that may be used with this
PCB.
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 recommended
components that should be used when evaluating that device.

2.4.6BFMP Interface (Header J1)
The Baseline Flash Microcontroller Programmer (BFMP) interface allows a
PIC10F2XX device that is populated in the SOT-23-6 version E footprint to be
programmed with programmers that support this interface, such as the BFMP
programmer (part number PG164101).
Currently, the voltage detectors/voltage supervisors use either footprint option A or
footprint option D.
2.5.1Option D Circuit
Using the TC53C or TC54VC, no passive components would be required and the
device V
Using the TC53N or TC54VN, an external pull-up resistor is required. This resistor
would be installed in the R2A location and the device V

The Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board can be utilized to demonstrate
and test Microchip’s SOT-23-5 and SOT-23-6 nonvolatile digital potentiometers. This is
accomplished by populating the PCB with the desired MCP401X or MCP402X device,
a PIC10F2XX microcontroller, two momentary switches and a few resistors.
Note:Microchip Technology Inc. offers a built-up evaluation board for the
MCP402X Digital Potentiometer (MCP402XEV). Additional information
regarding this evaluation board may be found on the CD-ROM directory:
CD-ROM:\00066 - MCP402X Digital Potentiometer Evaluation Board. Within this directory, you will find the user’s guide for this
evaluation board, the PIC10F200 program (firmware) and assembled HEX
file (00066_MCP402XEV.hex).
The code supplied for this evaluation board may be easily modified to demonstrate
operation of the Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board.
Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 of the MCP401X/2X Digital Potentiometer Evaluation
Board User’s Guide (DS51546) discuss the MCP402XEV firmware. This firmware can
easily be modified to demonstrate using the Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation
Board.
Figure 2-9 illustrates an example circuit. This circuit uses the MCP4023 and
PIC10F200 devices with all the components installed. The PCB silk-screen indicates
the VDD and VSS pads. The remaining PCB pads will be referred to by their footprint
option/pin number combination. These combinations are C3, C4, C5 and C6.
The PIC10F2XX will need to be programmed to make the system work. The
PIC10F2XX device can be programmed via the Baseline Flash Microcontroller
Programmer (BFMP) header (J1). The program (firmware) configures the GP1 and
GP2 pins to be outputs (driving high) and the GP0 and GP3 pins to be inputs. The GP1
and GP2 pins are individually polled to determine if either switch S1/D (down) and S2/U
(up) are depressed.
If the nonvolatile MCP402X device is used, the digital potentiometer setting can be
stored in nonvolatile memory, power can be cycled and the digital potentiometer will be
at the last saved setting for the volatile versions of the device. The wiper will go to its
default setting when power is cycled.
Installation and Operation
Note:The PIC10F2XX program (firmware) must take care in the timing require-
ments of the GP1 and GP2 pins, due to the multiplexing of the PIC10F2XX
GP1 pin with the MCP4023 U/D
the PIC10F2XX GP2 pin with the MCP4023 CS pin and switch S2.
Appendix C. Microchip SOT-23-5/6 Device Compatibility
C.1INTRODUCTION
This appendix documents other Microchip analog devices that can be evaluated using
the Voltage Supervisor SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board. 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-23-5
(5-pin SOT-23) or SOT-23-6 (6-pin SOT-23) packaged device.
C.2PCB COMPATIBILITY
There are four SOT-23-6 (6-pin SOT-23) pinouts that the Voltage Supervisor
SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board PCB supports. Figure C-1 shows these four pinouts.
There is an additional SOT-23-5 (5-pin SOT-23) pinout that the Voltage Supervisor
SOT-23-5/6 Evaluation Board PCB supports. Figure C-2 shows this pinout. Other
Microchip analog devices may be used with this PCB if the power and ground pins
match these available 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.
Table 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 on 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-3 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.
The value of C2, R3 and C
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
(cheaper) output load capacitor (C
performance).
