Additional Details:

The R3111Q401B-TR-F has a detection voltage of 4.0V. The built-in delay circuit adds a specific delay time after the voltage recovers above the threshold. This delay prevents the system from resetting prematurely due to minor voltage fluctuations. The supply current is typically very low, often in the microampere range. The device is packaged in a small SOT-23 package. It is designed to operate over a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to +85°C. The output is an N-channel open drain output, requiring an external pull-up resistor. This type of output allows for flexible interfacing with different voltage levels.
