On boards with power traces running longer than six inches in length, it is suggested to use a tank capac- itor for integrated circuits, including microcontrollers, to supply a local power source. The value of the tank capacitor should be determined based on the trace resistance that connects the power supply source to the device, and the maximum current drawn by the device in the application.
In other words, select the tank capacitor so that it meets the acceptable voltage sag at the device. Typical values range from 4.7 mF to 47 mF. The MCLR pin provides two specific device functions: Device Reset, and Device Programming and Debugging which is also critical when restore pic18f44k20 microchip processor flash memory. If programming and debugging are not required in the end application, a direct connection to VDD may be all that is required.
The addition of other components, to help increase the application’s resistance to spurious Resets from voltage sags, may be beneficial. A typical configuration is shown in Figure 2-1.
Other circuit designs may be implemented, depending on the application’s requirements. During programming and debugging, the resistance and capacitance that can be added to the pin must be considered. Device programmers and debuggers drive the MCLR pin.
Consequently, specific voltage levels (VIH and VIL) and fast signal transitions must not be adversely affected. Therefore, specific values of R1 and C1 will need to be adjusted based on the application and PCB requirements.
For example, it is recommended that the capacitor, C1, be isolated from the MCLR pin during programming and debugging operations by using a jumper (Figure 2-2). The jumper is replaced for normal run-time operations.
