DESCRIPTION

The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP120/130 is a volt-
age supervisory device designed to keep a microcon-
troller in reset until the system voltage has reached the
proper level and stabilized. It also operates as protec-
tion from brown-out conditions when the supply voltage
drops below a safe operating level. Both devices are
available with a choice of seven different trip voltages
and both have open drain outputs. The MCP130 has an
internal 5 k

 pullup resistor. Both devices have active

low RESET pins. The MCP120/130 will assert the
RESET signal  whenever the voltage on the V

DD

 pin is

below the trip-point voltage.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

2.1

The Need for Supervisory Circuits

For many of today’s microcontroller applications, care
must be taken to prevent low power conditions that  can
cause many different system problems. The most com-
mon causes are brown-out conditions where the sys-
tem supply drops below the operating level momentar-
ily, and the second, is when a slowly decaying power
supply causes the microcontroller to begin executing
instructions without enough voltage to sustain SRAM
and producing indeterminate results.

Figure 2-1:

Typical Application

2.2

Negative Going V

DD

 Transients

Many system designers implementing POR circuits are
concerned about the minimum pulse width required to
cause a reset. Figure 2-2 shows typical transient
voltage below the trip point (V

TRIP

 - V

DD

) vs. transient

duration. 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. A 0.1 

µ

F bypass

cap mounted as close as possible to the V

DD

 pin pro-

vides additional transient immunity.

Effect of Temperature on Timeout 
Period (t

RPU

)

The timeout period (t

RPU

) determines how long the

device remains in the reset condition.  This is controlled
by an internal RC timer and is effected by both V

DD

and temperature. The graph shown in Figure 2-3
shows typical response for different V

DD

 values and

temperatures.

DESCRIPTION

The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP120/130 is a volt-
age supervisory device designed to keep a microcon-
troller in reset until the system voltage has reached the
proper level and stabilized. It also operates as protec-
tion from brown-out conditions when the supply voltage
drops below a safe operating level. Both devices are
available with a choice of seven different trip voltages
and both have open drain outputs. The MCP130 has an
internal 5 k

 pullup resistor. Both devices have active

low RESET pins. The MCP120/130 will assert the
RESET signal  whenever the voltage on the V

DD

 pin is

below the trip-point voltage.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

2.1

The Need for Supervisory Circuits

For many of today’s microcontroller applications, care
must be taken to prevent low power conditions that  can
cause many different system problems. The most com-
mon causes are brown-out conditions where the sys-
tem supply drops below the operating level momentar-
ily, and the second, is when a slowly decaying power
supply causes the microcontroller to begin executing
instructions without enough voltage to sustain SRAM
and producing indeterminate results.

Figure 2-1:

Typical Application

2.2

Negative Going V

DD

 Transients

Many system designers implementing POR circuits are
concerned about the minimum pulse width required to
cause a reset. Figure 2-2 shows typical transient
voltage below the trip point (V

TRIP

 - V

DD

) vs. transient

duration. 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. A 0.1 

µ

F bypass

cap mounted as close as possible to the V

DD

 pin pro-

vides additional transient immunity.

Effect of Temperature on Timeout 
Period (t

RPU

)

The timeout period (t

RPU

) determines how long the

device remains in the reset condition.  This is controlled
by an internal RC timer and is effected by both V

DD

and temperature. The graph shown in Figure 2-3
shows typical response for different V

DD

 values and

temperatures.

DESCRIPTION

The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP120/130 is a volt-
age supervisory device designed to keep a microcon-
troller in reset until the system voltage has reached the
proper level and stabilized. It also operates as protec-
tion from brown-out conditions when the supply voltage
drops below a safe operating level. Both devices are
available with a choice of seven different trip voltages
and both have open drain outputs. The MCP130 has an
internal 5 k

 pullup resistor. Both devices have active

low RESET pins. The MCP120/130 will assert the
RESET signal  whenever the voltage on the V

DD

 pin is

below the trip-point voltage.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

2.1

The Need for Supervisory Circuits

For many of today’s microcontroller applications, care
must be taken to prevent low power conditions that  can
cause many different system problems. The most com-
mon causes are brown-out conditions where the sys-
tem supply drops below the operating level momentar-
ily, and the second, is when a slowly decaying power
supply causes the microcontroller to begin executing
instructions without enough voltage to sustain SRAM
and producing indeterminate results.

Figure 2-1:

Typical Application

2.2

Negative Going V

DD

 Transients

Many system designers implementing POR circuits are
concerned about the minimum pulse width required to
cause a reset. Figure 2-2 shows typical transient
voltage below the trip point (V

TRIP

 - V

DD

) vs. transient

duration. 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. A 0.1 

µ

F bypass

cap mounted as close as possible to the V

DD

 pin pro-

vides additional transient immunity.

Effect of Temperature on Timeout 
Period (t

RPU

)

The timeout period (t

RPU

) determines how long the

device remains in the reset condition.  This is controlled
by an internal RC timer and is effected by both V

DD

and temperature. The graph shown in Figure 2-3
shows typical response for different V

DD

 values and

temperatures.

DESCRIPTION

The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP120/130 is a volt-
age supervisory device designed to keep a microcon-
troller in reset until the system voltage has reached the
proper level and stabilized. It also operates as protec-
tion from brown-out conditions when the supply voltage
drops below a safe operating level. Both devices are
available with a choice of seven different trip voltages
and both have open drain outputs. The MCP130 has an
internal 5 k

 pullup resistor. Both devices have active

low RESET pins. The MCP120/130 will assert the
RESET signal  whenever the voltage on the V

DD

 pin is

below the trip-point voltage.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

2.1

The Need for Supervisory Circuits

For many of today’s microcontroller applications, care
must be taken to prevent low power conditions that  can
cause many different system problems. The most com-
mon causes are brown-out conditions where the sys-
tem supply drops below the operating level momentar-
ily, and the second, is when a slowly decaying power
supply causes the microcontroller to begin executing
instructions without enough voltage to sustain SRAM
and producing indeterminate results.

Figure 2-1:

Typical Application

2.2

Negative Going V

DD

 Transients

Many system designers implementing POR circuits are
concerned about the minimum pulse width required to
cause a reset. Figure 2-2 shows typical transient
voltage below the trip point (V

TRIP

 - V

DD

) vs. transient

duration. 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. A 0.1 

µ

F bypass

cap mounted as close as possible to the V

DD

 pin pro-

vides additional transient immunity.

Effect of Temperature on Timeout 
Period (t

RPU

)

The timeout period (t

RPU

) determines how long the

device remains in the reset condition.  This is controlled
by an internal RC timer and is effected by both V

DD

and temperature. The graph shown in Figure 2-3
shows typical response for different V

DD

 values and

temperatures.

DESCRIPTION

The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP120/130 is a volt-
age supervisory device designed to keep a microcon-
troller in reset until the system voltage has reached the
proper level and stabilized. It also operates as protec-
tion from brown-out conditions when the supply voltage
drops below a safe operating level. Both devices are
available with a choice of seven different trip voltages
and both have open drain outputs. The MCP130 has an
internal 5 k

 pullup resistor. Both devices have active

low RESET pins. The MCP120/130 will assert the
RESET signal  whenever the voltage on the V

DD

 pin is

below the trip-point voltage.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

2.1

The Need for Supervisory Circuits

For many of today’s microcontroller applications, care
must be taken to prevent low power conditions that  can
cause many different system problems. The most com-
mon causes are brown-out conditions where the sys-
tem supply drops below the operating level momentar-
ily, and the second, is when a slowly decaying power
supply causes the microcontroller to begin executing
instructions without enough voltage to sustain SRAM
and producing indeterminate results.

Figure 2-1:

Typical Application

2.2

Negative Going V

DD

 Transients

Many system designers implementing POR circuits are
concerned about the minimum pulse width required to
cause a reset. Figure 2-2 shows typical transient
voltage below the trip point (V

TRIP

 - V

DD

) vs. transient

duration. 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. A 0.1 

µ

F bypass

cap mounted as close as possible to the V

DD

 pin pro-

vides additional transient immunity.

Effect of Temperature on Timeout 
Period (t

RPU

)

The timeout period (t

RPU

) determines how long the

device remains in the reset condition.  This is controlled
by an internal RC timer and is effected by both V

DD

and temperature. The graph shown in Figure 2-3
shows typical response for different V

DD

 values and

temperatures.
