Additional Details:

The PST600IMT-R operates within a specific voltage range, typically between 1.6V and 5.5V. The detection voltage is pre-set to a specific threshold. It typically comes in a small SOT-25 package. The output is an N-channel open drain output, which requires an external pull-up resistor. The hysteresis voltage prevents the device from oscillating around the threshold voltage.
