New Microchip Technology Voltage Supervisors Offer Watchdog Timer, Manual Reset, Push-Pull/Open-Drain Reset Outputs, and Factory Trip-points in SOT-23 Package.CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Devices Operate from -40 Degrees Celsius to +125 Degrees Celsius, Making Them Ideal for Automotive and Industrial Applications Microchip Technology  Microchip Technology (NASDAQ: MCHP) is a manufacturer of microcontroller, memory and analog semiconductors, founded in 1989 when Inc. (Nasdaq:MCHP MCHP Maryland Children's Health ProgramMCHP Microchip Technologies (stock symbol) MCHP Micro-sized Combined Heat and Power (American Honda Motor Co. & Climate Energy, LLC) MCHP Maine Community Heritage Project ), a leading provider of microcontroller A single chip that contains the processor (the CPU), non-volatile memory for the program (ROM or flash), volatile memory for input and output (RAM), a clock and an I/O control unit. and analog semiconductors, today announced a family of ten new voltage supervisors: the MCP (1) See Microsoft certification. (2) (MultiChip Package) A chip package that contains two or more chips. It is essentially a multichip module (MCM) that uses a laminated, printed-circuit-board-like substrate (MCM-L) rather than ceramic (MCM-C). 1316, MCP1316M, MCP1317, MCP1318, MCP1318M, MCP1319, MCP1319M, MCP1320, MCP1321 and MCP1322. These voltage supervisors offer a watchdog timer A clock circuit that keeps counting from a set number down to zero. If the event it is monitoring occurs before it reaches zero, it resets to the starting number and starts counting down again. , manual reset, multiple combinations of push-pull or open-drain reset outputs, and factory trip-points from 2.0V to 4.7V in 100 mV increments, all in a small, 5-pin SOT-23 package. The devices operate within the extended industrial temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to +125 degrees Celsius and are ideal for automotive and industrial applications. The MCP1316 - MCP1322 voltage supervisors monitor microprocessor activity in digital systems. They operate at input voltages as low as 1.0V up to 5.5V, consume very little power (5 microamperes, typical) and offer a wide range of trip points between 2.0V and 4.7V. All of these features in their small package enable the MCP13XX voltage supervisors to increase design efficiency and flexibility, as well as reduce overall system costs. "The MCP1316 - MCP1322 voltage supervisors incorporate several attractive features on a single chip, resulting in enhanced design flexibility, reduced board space, and lower system costs," said John Austin John Austin may refer to a:
In addition to automotive and industrial applications, the MCP1316-MCP1322 voltage supervisors are appropriate for many consumer applications, such as portable and handheld computing devices, plasma screen TVs and DVD players A stand-alone device that plays DVDs. It contains a DVD drive and the electronics to decode the digital video. The device may play only manufactured DVDs, or it may be able to play DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. DVD players are cabled to a TV or home theater system for display. . The new devices complement Microchip's PIC (1) (Programmable Interrupt Controller) An Intel 8259A chip that controls interrupts. Starting with the 286-based AT, there are two PICs in a PC, providing a total of 15 usable IRQs. (R) microcontrollers to help create a total embedded system Any electronic system that uses a CPU chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems generally use microprocessors, or they may use custom-designed chips or both. solution. Pricing, Availability and Design Support The MCP1316, MCP1316M, MCP1317, MCP1318, MCP1318M, MCP1319, MCP1319M, MCP1320, MCP1321, and MCP1322 voltage supervisors are available for sampling today at http://sample.microchip (1) Another term for a microminiaturized integrated circuit (a "chip"). (2) To insert an RFID tag beneath the skin of an animal. It is expected that some day, humans will be microchipped. .com/. Production orders are received today at www.microchipdirect.com. The devices are offered in 5-pin SOT-23 packages (2.95 mm x 2.8 mm) and are all priced at $0.42 each in 10,000-unit quantities.
