Maxim Integrated MAX6352LTUK+T Voltage Supervisor

The MAX6352LTUK+T is a microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed by Maxim Integrated 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 that require voltage monitoring. This device is ideal for portable electronics, computers, controllers, and intelligent instruments where precise monitoring of the power supply is crucial for proper operation.

Featuring a compact 5-pin SOT-23 package, the MAX6352LTUK+T is engineered to assert a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage falls below its preset threshold. The reset output remains asserted for a minimum timeout period after VCC has risen above the reset threshold level, ensuring the system has ample time to stabilize before the processor begins operation. This timeout period is typically 140ms, which provides a reliable reset signal to the connected microprocessor.

One of the key features of the MAX6352LTUK+T is its low supply current of only 1.2µA, which is particularly beneficial for battery-powered applications where power conservation is essential. The device operates over a wide voltage range, from 1.2V to 5.5V, catering to a variety of power supply requirements. This flexibility makes it a versatile choice for different electronic products.

The voltage supervisor is designed to tolerate over 100,000 reset cycles and has an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, which ensures reliable performance under various environmental conditions. Moreover, the MAX6352LTUK+T features an active-low reset output, which is compatible with most microprocessors and can directly interface without requiring additional components.

In summary, the Maxim Integrated MAX6352LTUK+T voltage supervisor is a crucial component for ensuring the stability and reliability of electronic systems. Its low power consumption, wide operating voltage range, and compact form factor make it an excellent choice for designers looking to integrate a robust power monitoring solution into their applications.
