Maxim Integrated MAX6342LUT+T Microprocessor Reset Circuit

The MAX6342LUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a highly reliable, low-power microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems. It provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used in systems with a 3.3V power supply.

This device is particularly well-suited for portable and battery-powered applications due to its low power consumption. With a supply current of only 1.2µA, the MAX6342LUT+T helps to extend battery life in portable devices. Its compact SOT23-6 package makes it ideal for space-constrained applications, ensuring that even the smallest devices can be equipped with robust power supply monitoring.

The MAX6342LUT+T offers a precision factory-set reset threshold voltage, ensuring that the µP resets reliably on power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions. The reset output remains asserted for a minimum of 140ms after VCC has risen above the reset threshold level, providing a stable system reset to allow the µP to recover from unpredictable states.

Key Features:

• Factory-Set Reset Threshold Voltages for 3.3V Systems
• Low 1.2µA Supply Current
• 140ms (min) Reset Pulse Width
• Guaranteed Reset Valid to VCC = 1V
• Immune to Short VCC Transients
• No External Components Required
• Compact SOT23-6 Package

Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality ensures that the MAX6342LUT+T provides the highest reliability for system monitoring. Whether used in complex computing systems or simple digital products, this reset circuit helps to maintain system integrity and prevent data corruption during power supply fluctuations.

Overall, the MAX6342LUT+T is an excellent choice for designers looking for a simple, low-cost, and reliable solution to protect their digital systems from power supply uncertainties. Its ease of integration, combined with Maxim Integrated's reputation for quality, makes it a go-to component for system power monitoring needs.
