Product details
Overview
PT7M6124NLTA3EX from Pericom Semiconductor is an ultra-low-power N-channel open-drain voltage detector with 2.4V threshold (±1.5% at 25°C), 0.9µA supply current at 3V, and 17µs propagation delay. It monitors system supply rails in battery-powered microcontrollers, portable instrumentation, and power management circuits where precise brownout detection and minimal quiescent current are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PT7M6124NLTA3EX datasheet, PT7M6124NLTA3EX pinout, PT7M6124NLTA3EX application, or PT7M6124NLTA3EX equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT23-3 package, active-low open-drain reset output, -40°C to +85°C operating range, and 5% internal hysteresis for noise immunity on noisy supply lines.
Technical Context
This device integrates a precision bandgap reference, comparator, and internally trimmed resistor network to set a fixed 2.4V detection threshold (VTH−). Hysteresis is fixed at 5% (VTH+ = VTH− × 1.05), eliminating external components while ensuring stable reset assertion/deassertion during supply transients.
The N-channel open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor and sinks up to 20mA. Propagation delay is specified at 17µs typical, with timeout period of 200µs, enabling fast, reliable power-on reset generation without latch-up risk in low-voltage systems down to 1.2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detect Threshold | 2.4V ±1.5% at 25°C; ensures accurate brownout detection for 2.4V nominal rails |
| Supply Current | 0.9µA at 3V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Propagation Delay | 17µs typical; provides rapid reset response to supply dips without false triggering |
| Hysteresis | 5% (VTH+ = 1.05 × VTH−); prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling supply edges |
| Operating Voltage | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports operation across Li-ion, coin-cell, and regulated 3.3V/5V supplies |
| Output Type | N-channel open-drain; allows flexible logic-level translation and wired-OR reset bus configuration |
| Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded systems |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA compliant), 2.95mm × 1.30mm footprint, 1.45mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Supply Input | Connects to monitored voltage rail; powers internal circuitry and sets detection reference |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | System ground return path; required for accurate threshold referencing and comparator operation |
| 3 (RST) | Open-Drain Reset Output | Active-low output; sinks current when VCC < 2.4V; requires external pull-up for logic-high state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% at 25°C and ±2.5% over full temperature range - eliminates need for calibration in cost-sensitive designs |
| Ultra-Low ICC | 0.9µA at 3V - reduces standby power by >90% vs. comparable detectors, critical for energy harvesting nodes |
| Fixed Hysteresis | 5% internal hysteresis - removes external resistor divider and capacitor, saving PCB area and BOM count |
| Fast Propagation | 17µs typical delay - ensures timely MCU reset before logic corruption occurs during undervoltage events |
| Wide VCC Range | 1.2V–5.5V operation - supports direct monitoring of single-cell LiFePO₄ (2.5V), alkaline (1.5V), and 3.3V/5V rails |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB24DBZR | 2.4V threshold, ±2% accuracy, 0.5µA ICC, push-pull active-low output | No external pull-up needed; higher drive strength (20mA sink/source) but no hysteresis option | Select when board space permits SOT23-3 and push-pull simplifies reset bus design |
| APX803S-24SA-7 | 2.4V threshold, ±1.5% accuracy, 1.2µA ICC, open-drain active-low output, 5% hysteresis | Same functional behavior but wider VCC range (0.9V–6.0V); slightly higher ICC | Prefer when operating below 1.2V (e.g., single NiMH cell) or requiring extended voltage margin |
Compared with PT7M6124NLTA3EX, TLV803EB24DBZR offers lower ICC but lacks programmable hysteresis, while APX803S-24SA-7 matches hysteresis and accuracy but trades 0.3µA higher ICC for sub-1.2V capability - choice depends on supply headroom and reset bus topology requirements.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage for PT7M6124NLTA3EX?
The PT7M6124NLTA3EX has a nominal detection threshold (VTH−) of 2.4V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% at 25°C and ±2.5% over the full −40°C to +85°C operating range. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and does not require external calibration.
Can PT7M6124NLTA3EX be used with a 1.8V supply rail?
Yes - the device operates from 1.2V to 5.5V, so it functions correctly on a 1.8V rail. However, the 2.4V threshold exceeds 1.8V, meaning it will assert reset continuously. It is only suitable for monitoring rails ≥2.4V, such as 3.3V or 5V systems, or backup supplies like 2.7V supercaps.
What pull-up resistor value is recommended for the RST pin?
A 10kΩ pull-up resistor to the host logic supply (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) is recommended. This ensures sufficient rise time (<100ns) while limiting current to <0.33mA during reset assertion, aligning with the 20mA sink rating and typical MCU input leakage.
Does PT7M6124NLTA3EX require an external capacitor on VCC?
No external capacitor is required for basic operation. However, a 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed near the VCC pin is strongly recommended to suppress high-frequency noise that could cause false resets, especially in electrically noisy environments like motor drives or switching power supplies.
