Maxim Integrated MAX6864UK16D1S+T Microprocessor Voltage Supervisors

The Maxim Integrated MAX6864UK16D1S+T is a highly reliable and efficient 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 1.6V supply voltage. This component is part of a family of devices that cater to a variety of supply voltages, making it versatile for different applications.

The MAX6864UK16D1S+T supervisory circuit is specifically engineered to maintain system integrity by monitoring the supply voltage levels. In the event of a power failure or brown-out condition, it asserts a reset signal to prevent system errors. The reset signal remains asserted for a minimum timeout period after the supply voltage exceeds the reset threshold, ensuring the system has stabilized before operations resume.

Key Features:

• Power Supply Monitoring: Precision monitoring at 1.6V supply voltage, suitable for low-voltage applications.
• Reset Timeout: The device features a fixed reset timeout period of 140ms (min), providing ample time for system stabilization.
• Low Power Consumption: With its low supply current of 6µA (typ), it is an energy-efficient solution for battery-operated devices.
• Manual Reset Input: A manual reset input allows for a system reset to be triggered with an external signal, offering additional flexibility and control.
• Compact SOT23 Packaging: The MAX6864UK16D1S+T comes in a small 5-pin SOT23 package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.
• Temperature Range: Operates over the extended -40°C to +125°C temperature range, ensuring reliability under varying environmental conditions.

Applications for the MAX6864UK16D1S+T include portable/battery-powered equipment, computers, controllers, and intelligent instruments. Its ability to safeguard against unpredictable power supply conditions makes it an essential component in the design of robust and dependable electronic systems. Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality ensures that this voltage supervisor meets the stringent requirements for performance and reliability.

By integrating the MAX6864UK16D1S+T into your design, you can enhance system reliability, reduce design complexity, and minimize component count, leading to a more cost-effective and streamlined product.
