Note 1: External Power-on Reset circuit is

required only if VDD power-up rate is too

slow. The diode D helps discharge the

capacitor quickly when VDD powers down.

2: R < 40 kΩ is recommended to make sure

that voltage drop across R does not exceed

0.2V (max leakage current spec on MCLR

pin is 5 µA). A larger voltage drop will

degrade VIH level on the MCLR pin.

3: R1 = 100Ω to 1 kΩ will limit any current

flowing into MCLR from external

capacitor C in the event of an MCLR pin

breakdown due to ESD or EOS.

This circuit will activate reset when VDD goes below

(Vz + 0.7V) where Vz = Zener voltage.

This brown-out circuit is less expensive, although less

accurate. Transistor Q1 turns off when VDD is below a

certain level such that:
