5.0 APPLICATION INFORMATION
This section shows application related information that
may be useful for your particular design requirements.
5.1 Supply Monitor Noise Sensitivity
The TC127XA devices are optimized for fast response
to negative-going changes in VDD. Systems with an
inordinate amount of electrical noise on VDD (such as
systems using relays) may require a 0.01 µF or 0.1 µF
bypass capacitor to reduce detection sensitivity. This
capacitor should be installed as close to the TC127XA
as possible to keep the capacitor lead length short.

5.3 Using in PIC® Microcontroller,
ICSP™ Applications
Note:
This operation can only be done using the
device with the Open-Drain RST pin
(TC1270AN).
Figure 5-4 shows the typical application circuit for using
the TC1270AN for voltage supervisory function when
the PIC microcontroller will be programmed via the
In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) feature.
Additional information is available in TB087, “Using
Voltage Supervisors with PICmicro® Microcontroller
Systems which Implement In-Circuit Serial Program-
ming™”, DS91087.
Note:
It is recommended that the current into the
RST pin be current limited by a 1 kΩ
resistor.
