Product details
Overview
MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3-pin active-low microprocessor reset supervisor IC designed to monitor 3.3V supply rails in embedded systems. It asserts a precise 2.93V ±3% reset threshold over −40°C to +105°C, delivers a guaranteed 140ms minimum power-on reset pulse (240ms typical), and maintains valid RESET output down to VCC ≥1V with only 15µA typical supply current.
For engineers reviewing the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB datasheet, MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB pinout, MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB application, or MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-trimmed voltage accuracy, SOT-23-3 package compatibility, brown-out immunity, transient rejection up to 100mV/20µs, and operation across industrial temperature range without external components.
Technical Context
The MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB integrates a precision voltage reference, comparator, and reset timer in a monolithic CMOS design. Its reset assertion logic triggers when VCC falls below 2.93V (±3% over temperature), and holds RESET low for ≥140ms after VCC rises above threshold - ensuring reliable microprocessor initialization during power-up, brown-out, or power-down events.
It features built-in immunity to negative-going VCC transients (e.g., 100mV glitches ≤20µs at +25°C), operates with VCC as low as 1.2V (−40°C to +105°C), and guarantees VOL ≤0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA - enabling direct interface with standard CMOS inputs without pull-up resistors under normal operating conditions.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB and how does it vary with temperature?
The MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB has a factory-programmed reset threshold of 2.93V with ±3% tolerance over −40°C to +105°C. At +25°C, the typical value is 2.93V (min 2.89V, max 2.96V); at −40°C to +85°C, it ranges 2.85V to 3.00V; and at +85°C to +105°C, it shifts to 2.78V to 3.08V. The temperature coefficient is 30ppm/°C, meaning drift is predictable and bounded within datasheet limits - critical for deterministic system behavior in thermal cycling environments. This specification applies exclusively to the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB.
Does the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB require external components to function in a standard microprocessor reset application?
No, the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB operates autonomously with only VCC, GND, and RESET connections. A pull-up resistor on the active-low RESET pin is recommended only if the driven microcontroller lacks internal pull-up or if RESET must remain defined below VCC = 1V - per TI Application Note SNVS165A, a 100kΩ resistor to GND satisfies this edge case. No capacitors, resistors, or trimming components are needed for basic reset supervision of 3.3V supplies. This self-contained operation is intrinsic to the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB design.
How does the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB handle power supply transients, and what is its maximum tolerable glitch duration?
The MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB provides documented immunity to negative-going VCC transients: a 100mV dip below the 2.93V threshold will not trigger reset if duration is ≤20µs at +25°C. Immunity degrades predictably with deeper transients - e.g., 200mV dips tolerate only ~5µs. This behavior is verified in Figure 10 of the SNVS165A datasheet and results from internal filtering and comparator hysteresis. Adding a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near the VCC pin further enhances rejection. This transient resilience is a specified feature of the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB.
Can the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB be used with microcontrollers that have bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola 68HC11?
Yes, the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB can interface with bidirectional reset pins using a 4.7kΩ series resistor between its open-drain RESET output and the µP pin, as shown in Figure 11 of SNVS165A. This resistor prevents contention when the microcontroller drives the line high while MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB holds it low, ensuring correct logic states during both reset assertion and release. The resistor value balances noise immunity and rise time - a design detail confirmed for the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB in TI's official application guidance.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB guarantees valid RESET output behavior?
The MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB guarantees RESET output functionality down to VCC ≥1V, as stated in the "Specified RESET Output Valid for VCC≥1V" feature list and confirmed in Electrical Characteristics tables. Below 1V, the output enters high-impedance state and may float; above 1V, VOL remains ≤0.4V at 3.2mA sink current and VOH exceeds 0.8×VCC when sourcing 500µA. This 1V operational floor enables controlled shutdown sequencing in systems where main supply collapses gradually - a defined operating limit unique to the MCP809M3-2.93/NOPB.
