100ms timeout — why it matters for processor boot
The 100ms minimum reset timeout gives the power supply and oscillator time to settle before the processor starts executing code.
Package and mounting — SC-70-3 footprint
The SC-70-3 (SOT-323) package is a small three-lead surface-mount device. The supplier device package is SC-70-3, which means the PCB footprint matches the standard SC-70 land pattern. It is a manual-solder-friendly size for rework but small enough for dense layouts. The push-pull output eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor, saving one component on the board. Surface-mount only — no through-hole option exists for this part.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
There is no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window to manage. If you are qualifying this for a production build, the active status means you can design it in without planning a near-term replacement.
