Product Overview: MAX6334UR16D3+T from Maxim Integrated

The MAX6334UR16D3+T is a robust, low-power microprocessor (μP) supervisory circuit designed by Maxim Integrated to monitor power supplies in digital systems. This device provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used in systems with a 1.6V power supply voltage.

Featuring a precision voltage monitor, the MAX6334UR16D3+T ensures that the system's μP is reset to a known state during power-up, power-down, or brownout conditions. The reset output remains asserted for a minimum of 140ms after VCC has risen above the reset threshold, providing ample time for the system to stabilize before the processor starts its operation.

This supervisory IC comes in a compact SOT-23 package, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications. It operates over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, suitable for various industrial and commercial environments.

Key features of the MAX6334UR16D3+T include:

• Factory-trimmed reset threshold suitable for 1.6V supply voltages
• Low supply current of 5μA (typical), which is critical for battery-operated devices
• Debounced manual reset input, allowing for a simple and effective external override
• Immunity to short VCC transients, ensuring reliable operation under fluctuating power conditions
• Guaranteed reset valid to VCC = 1V, providing a safe operating range for the connected μP

Applications for the MAX6334UR16D3+T are diverse and include portable/battery-powered equipment, computers and controllers, embedded systems, and critical μP power monitoring. The device's ability to ensure a consistent and predictable μP reset makes it an essential component in systems that cannot afford to compromise on reliability or performance.

Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality means that the MAX6334UR16D3+T is a product you can rely on for consistent performance and durability, making it a smart choice for designers looking to enhance system integrity with a trusted supervisory solution.
