Maxim Integrated MAX6316LUK46CY+T Microprocessor Reset Circuit

The MAX6316LUK46CY+T is a highly reliable, low-power microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed and manufactured by Maxim Integrated to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems. It provides a significant level of system reliability through its ability to reset a system during a power failure or when the voltage level becomes unreliable for the safe operation of the system.

This device is particularly suitable for portable and battery-powered applications due to its low power consumption and small size. The MAX6316 series comes in a compact SOT-23 package, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications.

Key Features:

• Precision Voltage Monitoring: The MAX6316LUK46CY+T is designed to monitor a preset threshold voltage of 4.6V, ensuring that the system operates within safe voltage levels.
• Low Power Consumption: With its low power requirements, this supervisory circuit helps extend battery life, which is crucial for portable devices.
• Manual Reset Input: It includes a manual reset input that allows for a system reset to be triggered with an external signal, providing additional system control.
• Reset Timeout: The device features a fixed reset timeout delay of 140ms (minimum), giving the system enough time to stabilize after a reset.
• Immune to Short Vcc Transients: The circuit is designed to ignore short-duration transients on the Vcc line, which helps prevent false resets due to noise and brief voltage dips.
• RoHS Compliant: The MAX6316LUK46CY+T adheres to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, making it environmentally friendly.

Applications:

• Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment
• Computers and Controllers
• Embedded Systems
• Data Storage Systems
• Medical Devices
• Automotive Systems
