MIC706TM-TR

Supervisors Overview

The MIC706TM-TR is a microprocessor supervisory circuit manufactured by Microchip Technology, housed in an 8-pin SOIC package. It features a fixed threshold voltage of 2.63V and monitors a single input channel. The device provides both active high and active low reset outputs to accommodate various system requirements. Key functional blocks include a manual reset input for user-initiated control and an integrated watchdog timer with a timeout period of 1.6 seconds to prevent software lockups. The reset delay time is specified at 200 ms, ensuring stable power-up sequencing. It operates within a supply voltage range up to 5.5 V and supports temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Integrates a watchdog timer with a 1.6-second timeout period to detect and recover from software malfunctions.
• Provides dual polarity reset outputs (active high and active low) for flexible interface compatibility.
• Includes a manual reset input pin allowing external user intervention to trigger a system reset.
• Features a fixed 2.63V threshold voltage for precise monitoring of standard logic supply rails.

Supervisors Applications

• Embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset sequencing
• Microcontroller-based designs needing watchdog protection against code execution errors
• Industrial control units operating in environments with potential voltage fluctuations

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TM' corresponds to the 2.63V threshold and SOIC-8 package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor certificates prior to integration. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact electrical specifications required for the target application design.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 2.63V supervision level is required for standard 3.3V or 5V logic systems. The inclusion of both active high and low outputs simplifies board layout compared to single-output supervisors. The integrated watchdog function reduces external component count, making it suitable for space-constrained designs that require robust fault recovery mechanisms without additional discrete logic.

Supervisors Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC706 series of supervisory circuits, which are designed for general-purpose voltage monitoring. The series offers various threshold voltages and package options to suit different embedded applications. The MIC706TM-TR specifically targets cost-sensitive designs requiring basic supervision with watchdog capabilities in a compact surface-mount form factor.

Supervisors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other MIC706 variants such as MIC706SMY-TR or MIC706RM-TR if different threshold voltages or packages are needed. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting with generic supervisor ICs to ensure correct reset output polarity and watchdog functionality alignment.
