What are the key features of MCP112T-290E/TT?
- Fixed 2.9 V threshold factory-trimmed for accurate brownout detection without external resistor dividers
- Active-low open-drain output directly driving microcontroller reset pins and logic gate inputs
- Ultra-low quiescent current enabling always-on supply monitoring in battery-constrained designs
- SOT-23-3 package occupying less than 2x3 mm of PCB area for space-efficient reset circuit integration
- RoHS-compliant lead-free construction suitable for consumer and industrial embedded applications
What is MCP112T-290E/TT used for?
MCP112T-290E/TT is designed for microcontroller reset supervision and brownout detection in battery-powered IoT devices, embedded sensor nodes, and portable instruments where an unregulated supply may drop below the 2.9 V safe operating limit. Its fixed threshold eliminates external resistor tolerance errors, making it reliable for 3 V system undervoltage lockout in wearables, remote controls, and wireless sensor modules. The device also protects Flash-based microcontrollers from incomplete write cycles caused by brown-out events, preserving data integrity in logging and metering applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what voltage threshold does MCP112T-290E/TT assert its reset output, and what is the output polarity?
MCP112T-290E/TT asserts its active-low open-drain output when the monitored supply drops below the fixed 2.9 V threshold. The output remains low as long as VCC is below 2.9 V, releasing high (via an external pull-up resistor) once the supply recovers and exceeds the threshold with built-in hysteresis typically around 100 mV, preventing repeated reset toggling during supply voltage ringing.
How does MCP112T-290E/TT protect Flash microcontroller memory integrity during battery-discharge brownout events?
When a battery supply sags below 2.9 V, MCP112T-290E/TT immediately asserts its active-low reset output, halting the microcontroller before the supply falls below the minimum voltage required for valid Flash write cycles, typically 2.3 V to 2.7 V for PIC and AVR devices. This 200 mV to 600 mV margin ensures that in-progress EEPROM or Flash writes are interrupted cleanly rather than completing with corrupted data, protecting firmware integrity and calibration storage.
What are the package dimensions of MCP112T-290E/TT, and why is the SOT-23-3 form factor preferred for reset supervisor circuits?
MCP112T-290E/TT uses a SOT-23-3 package measuring approximately 2.9x1.6 mm with 3 pins on a 0.95 mm pitch. This tiny footprint allows placing the reset supervisor adjacent to the microcontroller VCC pin within a 5 mm keepout zone, minimizing the supply trace length between the detector and the monitored rail and reducing susceptibility to high-frequency supply noise that could cause false reset assertions.
For a 3 V coin-cell powered sensor node, how does MCP112T-290E/TT's fixed threshold compare to a discrete resistor-divider reset circuit?
A discrete resistor voltage divider for a 2.9 V threshold using 1% resistors introduces a threshold error of up to ±2%, equivalent to ±58 mV, potentially allowing the microcontroller to operate at 2.84 V where Flash writes may become unreliable. MCP112T-290E/TT provides a factory-trimmed fixed threshold accurate to within ±2% of 2.9 V over the full -40°C to 125°C range, eliminating resistor tolerance stack-up and saving 2 passive components and their associated PCB area on every board.
