MCP2122
2.3.1
Some applications may subject the MCP2122 to a
brown-out condition. Good design practice requires
that when a system is in brown-out, the system should
be in reset to ensure that the system is in a known
state when the system exits the brown-out. This
brown-out circuitry is external to the MCP2122.
2.3.1.1
Figure 2-2 shows a circuit for external brown-out
protection using the TCM809 device.
Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 illustrate two examples of
external circuitry that may be implemented. Each
option needs to be evaluated to determine if they
satisfy the requirements of the application.
