Maxim Integrated MAX6832HXRD Product Overview
The MAX6832HXRD from Maxim Integrated is a highly reliable, low-power microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems. It provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used in system monitoring applications.
Key Features
- Power-Supply Monitoring: The MAX6832HXRD offers precise monitoring of the power supply voltage. It ensures that the system microprocessor is reset to a known state during power-up, power-down, or brown-out conditions.
- Low Power Consumption: This device is optimized for low-power operation, making it an ideal choice for portable and battery-powered applications where power efficiency is critical.
- Adjustable Reset Threshold: The reset threshold can be adjusted to the needs of the specific application, providing flexibility and enhanced protection for the connected microprocessor.
- Manual Reset Input: A manual reset input is provided, allowing for a reset to be triggered with an external push-button or logic signal.
- Compact Package: The MAX6832HXRD comes in a compact package, which is beneficial for space-constrained applications.
Applications
The MAX6832HXRD is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment
- Embedded Systems
- Computers and Servers
- Data Storage Equipment
- Industrial Controllers
Technical Specifications
The device features a wide operating voltage range and low quiescent current. It is designed to assert a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage falls below the factory-set reset threshold. The reset output remains asserted for a reset timeout period after VCC rises above the reset threshold, ensuring the system microprocessor starts up in a stable and predictable state.
With its robust feature set and Maxim Integrated's reputation for quality, the MAX6832HXRD is a smart choice for designers looking to enhance system reliability and performance while reducing overall power consumption.
