MIC706TN

The MIC706TN is a low voltage supervisor chip, designed to monitor power supply levels in power circuits. It is part of a family of integrated circuit (IC) products offered by Microchip Technology Incorporated. The device is designed to detect a wide range of voltage levels, and to help detect and prevent serious problems, such as overvoltage or undervoltage from occurring in a power system. With a variety of features and options, the MIC706TN is a suitable choice for applications that require supplemental voltage-level monitoring and detection.

The MIC706TN offers on-chip Voltage-Level Monitoring (VLM). This feature allows the device to measure and compare the voltage levels of two power sources in a power circuit. The device can detect large undervoltage or overvoltage differences between the two sources, and can provide an alert or warning when the difference is greater than the predetermined threshold. This is useful in detecting sudden changes in current draw or load, which may indicate a dangerous fault condition.

The MIC706TN also features an adjustable undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit. This circuit prevents the system from operating if the voltage level drops below a certain level. This can help prevent system damage and malfunctions caused by extreme low voltage surges.

The MIC706TN also offers an adjustable overvoltage lockout (OVLO) circuit. This prevents the system from operating if the voltage level rises above a certain level. This is useful for preventing system damage and malfunctions caused by extreme high voltage surges.

In addition, the MIC706TN offers power-on reset (POR) functionality. This feature allows the IC to detect and alert the user when the power level has dropped below a predetermined level and needs to be reset. The IC can also detect when the system has been powered up and can provide a reset signal to the system components.

Lastly, the MIC706TN offers a brown-out reset (BOR) feature. This feature allows the device to detect and alert the user when the power level has dropped below a certain level. A predetermined level of time (e.g. 10 milliseconds) is allowed for the system to reset before the power is turned off. The BOR circuit can help prevent system malfunctions and ensure that the system has the correct voltage levels to operate correctly.

The MIC706TN is designed to be used in a wide range of applications, from industrial automation and embedded systems, to automotive and consumer electronics. Its performance, design and features make it an ideal solution for use in environments where strict power supply specifications are required. The device offers a variety of features and options, making it an ideal choice for applications which require supplemental voltage level monitoring and detection.
