Maxim Integrated MAX6335US18D3-T Voltage Supervisor

The MAX6335US18D3-T is a precision voltage supervisor designed by Maxim Integrated to ensure reliable operation of microprocessors (µPs), microcontrollers (MCUs), and other digital systems. This device monitors the supply voltage of digital systems and provides a reset signal to the host processor when necessary, thereby safeguarding the system from unpredictable behavior that can arise from power supply fluctuations or power-on conditions.

Operating with a nominal threshold voltage of 1.8V, the MAX6335US18D3-T is ideal for low voltage applications that require tight voltage monitoring to maintain system integrity. This particular model comes in a compact 4-pin SOT-143 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium.

One of the key features of the MAX6335US18D3-T is its ability to provide a reset signal to the connected microprocessor for a minimum of 140ms after the supply voltage drops below the preset threshold. This ensures that the system has ample time to return to a known state before resuming operation. Additionally, the device boasts a low supply current of only 20µA, which is beneficial for power-sensitive designs.

Furthermore, the MAX6335US18D3-T offers an active-low, push-pull reset output, which means it can be directly connected to the reset pin of most processors without the need for additional external components. This feature simplifies design and reduces the overall bill of materials.

Designed for versatility, the MAX6335US18D3-T can be used in a wide range of applications, including portable/battery-powered equipment, embedded systems, computers, and storage systems where maintaining correct operation during power fluctuations is crucial.

With its robust feature set and Maxim Integrated's reputation for high-quality electronic components, the MAX6335US18D3-T voltage supervisor is a reliable choice for designers looking to enhance the stability and reliability of their digital systems.
