Key Features
- Fixed 2.925 V threshold with tight accuracy monitors 3.3 V rails and asserts active-low reset during undervoltage or brownout without any external components
- Single-channel supervisor in a 3-pin SOT-23 package occupies minimal PCB footprint for integration on densely populated microcontroller boards
- Internal power-on reset delay ensures the supply is stable before releasing the RESET pin, preventing spurious microcontroller startup faults
Applications
The MCP809T-300I/TT is designed to supervise 3.3 V power rails in microcontroller-based systems, ensuring that the processor is held in reset during power-up, brownout, and supply-glitch conditions. It is commonly used in industrial controllers, smart meters, and IoT gateway boards where uncontrolled resets from supply noise can corrupt non-volatile memory or interrupt critical processes. The tiny 3-pin SOT-23 footprint allows it to be placed close to the microcontroller's reset pin with negligible additional board area.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what supply voltage does the MCP809T-300I/TT assert its reset output?
The MCP809T-300I/TT asserts the active-low RESET output whenever the monitored supply falls below the fixed threshold of 2.925 V. This threshold is factory-trimmed, so no external resistor divider is needed. The reset output releases after a built-in delay once the supply recovers above 2.925 V, protecting the microcontroller from operating in an undefined undervoltage state.
Why use a dedicated supervisor IC like the MCP809T-300I/TT instead of relying on a microcontroller's internal brown-out detection?
An on-chip brown-out detector is powered from the same rail it monitors, so it may not function correctly or assert reset fast enough as the supply collapses. The MCP809T-300I/TT monitors the rail externally and draws only microamp-level supply current, ensuring reset is asserted well before the microcontroller enters an undefined state, preventing data corruption in flash or EEPROM at voltages below 2.925 V.
Is the MCP809T-300I/TT suitable for monitoring 3.3 V rails in battery-powered IoT devices?
Yes. The 2.925 V threshold corresponds to the typical low-voltage warning point of a regulated 3.3 V rail, and the device's ultra-low quiescent current makes it compatible with battery-powered nodes that must minimize standby drain. The 3-pin SOT-23 package also contributes negligible weight and board space to compact IoT sensor modules.
How does the built-in reset delay of the MCP809T-300I/TT help at power-on?
After the supply rises above 2.925 V, the MCP809T-300I/TT holds RESET asserted for a fixed timeout period (typically 140 ms at 3.3 V). This delay allows the power supply's output capacitors to charge fully and the oscillator to stabilize before the processor begins executing code, preventing erratic startup behavior caused by marginal or slowly rising supply rails.
