Maxim Integrated MAX6361LUT26-T Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit

The MAX6361LUT26-T from Maxim Integrated is a compact, highly reliable microprocessor supervisory circuit that provides monitoring and control functions critical for system stability in microprocessor-based systems. This device is designed to maintain system integrity by monitoring the power supply voltage and asserting a reset signal whenever necessary to prevent erroneous operation due to low voltage conditions.

Encased in a small 6-pin SOT23 package, the MAX6361LUT26-T is ideal for space-constrained applications, offering a low supply current feature that makes it well-suited for portable and battery-powered devices. It operates over a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +125°C, ensuring consistent performance under various environmental conditions.

One of the key features of this supervisory circuit is its factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage, set at 2.63V, providing precision monitoring without the need for external components. The reset output is guaranteed to remain in the correct state for VCC down to 1V. The device also includes a manual reset input, allowing for system resets to be triggered externally, providing additional control and flexibility for system maintenance and debugging.

Furthermore, the MAX6361LUT26-T boasts a reset timeout period of 140ms (min), ensuring that the processor has adequate time to initialize and stabilize before normal operation resumes. The device's low power consumption, combined with its high accuracy and reliability, makes it an excellent choice for critical applications in telecommunications, computers, controllers, and other embedded systems.

Maxim Integrated's commitment to high-quality and innovation is evident in the MAX6361LUT26-T, offering engineers a robust solution for system monitoring and protection. Its ease of integration, coupled with Maxim's support and resources, ensures a smooth design-in process and long-term system stability.
