Oh yeah. I've used a simple circuit that is just a PNP transistor and 3 resistors. It's outlined in APP Note AN522 on the last page. It's gone into several hundred thousand steam irons now, without any reported trouble. Should cost you about US$0.03 in volume. -- Lawrence Lile ----- Original Message ----- From: "questuk" To: Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 1:29 PM Subject: [PIC]: Cheap brown out circuit anyone? Does any one have a brown out circuit for MCLR input, that is cheap and 100% reliable, I know you can buy dedicated chips and I may go this way, but has anyone come up with a simple cost effective answer?
