The Maxim Integrated MAX6706SKA+T is a highly reliable microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in digital systems. It provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used in systems with a single +2.5V to +5.0V power supply voltage.

This supervisory circuit ensures that the µP and other system components operate correctly during power-up, power-down, and brown-out conditions. In the event of a power failure, the MAX6706SKA+T asserts a reset signal to prevent the system from executing erroneous instructions. This reset signal remains asserted until the system voltage stabilizes above the reset threshold level for a preset timeout period, ensuring the system has sufficient time to recover and initialize properly.

Key Features:

• Precision Monitoring: Accurate monitoring of the system power supply with a factory-set reset threshold voltage.
• Low Power Consumption: Ideal for portable battery-operated applications with a typical supply current of only 1.2µA.
• Manual Reset Input: Provides a manual reset input that allows for a system reset via an external pushbutton or logic signal.
• Reset Timeout: Features an internally fixed delay time for the reset signal, ensuring proper system recovery.
• Compact SOT-23 Packaging: Available in a small, 8-pin SOT-23 package, it is suitable for space-constrained applications.
• Temperature Range: Operates over the extended -40°C to +125°C temperature range, making it versatile for various environments.

The MAX6706SKA+T is an essential component for system reliability, providing critical monitoring and control functions for microprocessor-based systems. Its combination of features makes it an excellent choice for use in a wide array of applications, including computers, controllers, intelligent instruments, portable/battery-powered equipment, and more.

Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality and innovation ensures that the MAX6706SKA+T supervisory circuit is a robust solution for maintaining the integrity of your digital systems.
