What are the key features of MCP120T-300I/TT?
- Fixed 2.925 V brownout threshold optimized for 3.3 V logic systems, providing accurate supervision without external resistors
- Active-low open-drain reset output compatible with virtually all 3.3 V microcontroller RESET pins with a simple pull-up
- Single-channel, no-watchdog design in ultra-compact 3-pin SOT-23 minimizes BOM count and PCB area in space-critical applications
What is MCP120T-300I/TT used for?
The MCP120T-300I/TT is designed to supervise the 3.3 V power rails in microcontroller-based embedded systems, wireless IoT modules, and portable consumer electronics. It generates a clean active-low reset when the supply drops below 2.925 V, preventing undefined behavior during power-up sequencing or battery depletion events. Its tiny footprint and low quiescent current also make it well-suited for coin-cell-powered sensor nodes and wearable devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What reset threshold does the MCP120T-300I/TT use, and is it adjustable for different supply rails?
The MCP120T-300I/TT has a fixed reset threshold of 2.925 V and is not adjustable. It is specifically intended for monitoring 3.3 V rails in microcontroller and DSP systems. No external resistors are needed, which simplifies design and eliminates threshold variation caused by resistor tolerances over the -40°C to +85°C industrial operating temperature range.
How should the active-low reset output of the MCP120T-300I/TT be connected to a 3.3 V ARM Cortex-M microcontroller?
Connect a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor from the open-drain reset output to the 3.3 V supply, then route the signal to the MCU's active-low nRESET pin. The MCP120T-300I/TT will hold the reset line low as long as supply voltage remains below 2.925 V and release it once the rail has recovered, giving the MCU at least 100 ms to stabilize before execution begins.
How does the MCP120T-300I/TT differ from the MCP120T-450I/TT, and which should be chosen for a 3.3 V versus a 5 V system?
The MCP120T-300I/TT trips at 2.925 V and is the correct choice for 3.3 V logic rails, while the MCP120T-450I/TT trips at 4.375 V and is intended for 5 V systems. Both share the same 3-pin SOT-23 footprint and active-low open-drain output, so the selection reduces to matching the threshold to the nominal operating voltage with at least a 10% margin above the trip point.
What quiescent current does the MCP120T-300I/TT draw, and is it suitable for a coin-cell-powered sensor node?
The MCP120T-300I/TT typically draws less than 50 µA of quiescent current during normal supervision. For a CR2032 coin cell with approximately 220 mAh capacity, this represents a theoretical shelf life well above 5 years from supervision alone, making it a practical choice for low-power IoT sensors, asset trackers, and wireless nodes that must run unattended for extended periods.
