Maxim Integrated MAX6366LKA46-T Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit

The MAX6366LKA46-T is a highly reliable microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed by Maxim Integrated to monitor power supplies and microprocessor activity in digital systems. It provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used in conjunction with 3.3V, 3V, and other voltage-powered circuits.

This compact supervisory IC is specifically tailored to maintain system integrity by monitoring the power supply voltage. It asserts a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage falls below its preset threshold, ensuring that the µP and its peripherals are reset properly during power-up, power-down, and brown-out conditions. The reset output remains asserted for a preset timeout period after VCC has risen above the reset threshold level, providing a guaranteed reset signal duration.

Key features of the MAX6366LKA46-T include:

• Precision Monitoring: With a factory-set reset threshold voltage, this device offers precision monitoring of 3.3V, 3V, and other specific voltage power supplies without the need for external components.
• Low Power Consumption: It is designed for low-power operation, which makes it an ideal choice for portable and battery-operated applications.
• Manual Reset Input: A manual reset input is provided, which allows for a reset to be triggered with an external switch or logic signal.
• Compact SOT23 Package: The MAX6366LKA46-T comes in a small SOT23 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.

Applications for the MAX6366LKA46-T are diverse and include portable devices, computers, controllers, intelligent instruments, critical µP and µC power monitoring, and other systems that require a reliable reset scheme.

Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality ensures that the MAX6366LKA46-T supervisory circuit is a dependable component for maintaining system stability and preventing data corruption during adverse power supply conditions. By integrating this IC into your design, you can enhance the reliability and performance of your digital systems.
