The UNITRODE 14852, housed in a 16-pin DIP (Dual In-Line Package) format, is an integrated circuit (IC) that functions as a voltage supervisor with an open collector output. It is a voltage monitoring device that ensures a power supply remains within a specific voltage range.
Benefits for You
- Protects sensitive electronic devices from damage caused by overvoltage or undervoltage conditions.
- Offers configurable thresholds for voltage monitoring, allowing for customisation based on specific circuit requirements.
- Open collector output provides flexibility for triggering various actions in response to voltage fluctuations, such as powering down circuits or activating alarms.
Application Versatility
The UNITRODE 14852 finds use in a wide range of electronic devices to ensure stable power supply, including:
- Computer systems: Protects delicate computer components from voltage spikes or drops.
- Industrial electronics: Monitors power supplies in industrial equipment for reliable operation.
- Battery-powered devices: Prevents over-discharge and extends battery life by signalling low voltage conditions.
- Automotive electronics: Safeguards car electronics from voltage fluctuations caused by alternator issues or jump starts.
