Maxim Integrated MAX6808XR26-T Microprocessor Reset Circuit

The Maxim Integrated MAX6808XR26-T is a compact, highly reliable microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in digital systems. It provides a crucial function by ensuring that the µP and its peripherals are reset properly during power-up, power-down, or brown-out conditions. The device guarantees a robust system operation by asserting a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage falls below a preset threshold, maintaining it until the supply voltage stabilizes above the threshold for a specified period.

Key Features

• Precision Voltage Monitoring: The MAX6808XR26-T offers precise monitoring of 2.63V supply voltages, ensuring that the connected microprocessor is kept within safe operating limits.
• Low Power Consumption: With its low power consumption, this supervisory circuit is ideal for power-sensitive applications, making it a perfect choice for portable and battery-operated devices.
• Manual Reset Input: A manual reset input is provided, allowing for a system reset to be triggered externally, offering additional flexibility and control in system maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Compact SOT23 Packaging: The device comes in a small SOT23 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications without sacrificing performance or reliability.
• Extended Temperature Range: It is designed to operate over an extended temperature range, making it suitable for industrial applications with harsh environmental conditions.
