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 capaci-
tor quickly when V
DD
powers down.
2: R < 40 k鈩?is recommended to make sure
that voltage drop across R does not vio-
late the device鈥檚 electrical speci铿乧ation.
3: R1 = 100鈩?to 1 k鈩?will limit any current
铿俹wing into MCLR from external capaci-
tor C in the event of MCLR/V

breakdown due to Electrostatic Dis-
charge (ESD) or Electrical Overstress
(EOS).
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 Reset circuitry
should be disabled when using this cir-
cuit.
3: Resistors should be adjusted for the
characteristics of the transistor.

goes below (Vz + 0.7V) where
Vz = Zener voltage.
2: Internal Brown-out Reset circuitry
should be disabled when using this cir-
cuit.
3: Resistors should be adjusted for the
