XC6109N37ANR-G

Supervisors are voltage detectors used in a variety of circuits, including power supplies and microprocessors. They monitor the voltage levels in the circuit and provide a signal that informs the processor or power supply when the voltage is outside the normal range. The XC6109N37ANR-G is one such component specifically manufactured by XICOR, Inc. It is an advanced Supervisory circuit that provides many different functions and options to the circuit designer.

Overview of XC6109N37ANR-G

The XC6109N37ANR-G, also known as a supervisory component, is designed to provide voltage monitoring and circuit reset for microprocessors and other digital circuitry. It is a low-power, self-reset component, which helps to reduce power consumption in the circuit. It operates from a single +2.7V to 5.5V supply and has a digital word of two pins (MR and OUT). It is also very small in size, measuring just 1.6 by 1.6 millimeters, which makes it suitable for portable designs and applications.

Application Field and Features of XC6109N37ANR-G

The XC6109N37ANR-G component is especially popular in a variety of applications, including power supplies, microprocessors, microcontroller-based systems, set-top boxes, DVD players, digital cameras, and LCD displays. Its features also make it highly desirable in these types of applications. This component offers a wide operating voltage (from 2.7V to 5.5V), a low power consumption rating of 0.6 μA, a low active current of 15 μA, and a low quiescent current of 25 μA. It also provides numerous reset options, including power-on reset (POR) and brown out reset (BOR).

Working Principle of XC6109N37ANR-G

At its core, the XC6109N37ANR-G is an integrated supervisory component designed to continually monitor and reset a circuit under certain conditions. It does this by comparing the incoming voltage against two internal threshold levels. When the voltage drops below the lower threshold (VITL), the OUT pin is activated and informs the processor or power supply to reset. The component also has several optional reset functions, such as power-on reset and brown-out reset, which can be activated by connecting their respective pins to GND.

The component can also be programmed using OD1F (open drain 1 frequency input) and OD2F (open drain 2 frequency input) inputs. The OD1F input can be used to set the reset threshold voltage, the active reset time, and the boundary reset time, while the OD2F input can be used to set the edge detection time. The component also offers a wide range of programming modes, as well as adjustable warning time, power supply voltage hold time, and reset enable time.

Conclusion

The XC6109N37ANR-G is a low-power integrated supervisory component designed to monitor voltage levels and trigger reset signals when the voltage drops outside of specified levels. Its small size, low power consumption rating, wide operating voltage range, and numerous reset options make it suitable for use in a variety of applications, including power supplies, microprocessors, and other digital circuitry.
