Maxim Integrated MAX6361LUT44 Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit

The MAX6361LUT44 is a high-quality microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed by Maxim Integrated to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems. It provides a precise, low-power solution to ensure system reliability and stability by resetting the µP during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions. The compact, efficient design is ideal for use in a wide range of applications including portable devices, computers, embedded systems, and other microprocessor-based equipment.

Key Features

• Voltage Monitoring: This device offers a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage at 4.4V, suitable for monitoring 5V power supplies and ensuring that the µP is held in reset until the system voltage reaches a stable operating level.
• Low Power Consumption: The MAX6361LUT44 is optimized for low-power operations, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated devices where power efficiency is critical.
• Manual Reset Input: A dedicated manual reset input allows for a system reset to be triggered with an external signal, providing additional control and flexibility for system maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Reset Timeout: It features an internally fixed reset timeout period, ensuring that the µP is held in the reset state for a sufficient duration to allow for proper system stabilization.
• Compact SOT23 Packaging: Enclosed in a tiny 6-pin SOT23 package, the MAX6361LUT44 saves on board space and is ideal for space-constrained applications.

Applications

• Computers and Servers
• Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment
• Embedded Systems
• Industrial Controllers
• Communication Devices
