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 k
is recommended to make sure
that voltage drop across R does not violate
the device’s electrical specification.
3: R1 = 100
to 1 k will limit any current
flowing into MCLR from external capacitor
C in the event of MCLR/V
PP pin breakdown
due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or
Electrical Overstress (EOS).

Note
1: This circuit will activate RESET when V

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:

Internal Brown-out Detect Reset should be
disabled when using this circuit.
3:
Resistors should be adjusted for the
characteristics of the transistor.
