PROTECTION CIRCUIT 2
Note 1: External Power-on Reset circuit is required
only if V
DD power-up slope is too slow. The
diode D helps discharge the capacitor
quickly when V
DD powers down.
2: R < 40 kΩ is recommended to make sure
that voltage drop across R does not violate
the device’s electrical specification.
3: R1 = 100Ω to 1 kΩ will limit any current
flowing into MCLR
from external capacitor
C in the event of MCLR
/VPP pin breakdown
due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or
Electrical Overstress (EOS).

VDD
Note 1: This circuit will activate RESET when VDD
goes below (Vz + 0.7V) where Vz = Zener
voltage.
2: Internal Brown-out Detect Reset circuitry
should be disabled when using this circuit.

Note 1: This Brown-out Circuit is less expensive, albeit
less accurate. Transistor Q1 turns off when V
DD is
below a certain level such that:
2: Internal Brown-out Detect Reset should be
disabled when using this circuit.
3: Resistors should be adjusted for the
characteristics of the transistor.
