Microchip Technology TC1232CPA Processor Supervisor

The TC1232CPA is a fully integrated processor supervisor chip providing reliable power-on reset control, a watchdog timer for processor monitoring, and external reset override. Upon power-up, it holds the processor in reset for at least 250 ms after VCC reaches operating levels to ensure stability. It monitors microprocessor health via an onboard watchdog circuit, which requires periodic low signals on the ST input. The outputs activate immediately when the external pushbutton drives the PB input low, with contact debounce included. No external components are necessary, making it ideal for computers and peripherals. Market demand impacts lead times, and delivery dates may vary, with the product exempt from discounts.
