Product Overview: MAX6316LUK29BY+ from Maxim Integrated

The MAX6316LUK29BY+ is a highly reliable, low-power microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies and microprocessor activity in digital systems. Manufactured by Maxim Integrated, a leader in analog and mixed-signal products, this device provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications.

This supervisory circuit is designed to maintain system integrity by monitoring the power supply voltage. It offers a precision voltage monitor with a factory-set reset threshold of 2.93V, tailored for 3.3V-powered systems. The MAX6316LUK29BY+ provides a robust set of features that include a manual reset input, which allows a microprocessor to initiate a reset, and a reset output that remains asserted for a minimum of 140ms after V_CC has risen above the reset threshold. This ensures that the system has adequate time to stabilize before the processor starts up.

The device comes in a compact 5-pin SOT-23 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. Its low supply current of only 1.0µA (typ) is particularly beneficial for portable and battery-operated equipment, where power conservation is crucial. The MAX6316LUK29BY+ operates over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance under varying environmental conditions.

Key features of the MAX6316LUK29BY+ include:

• Precision Monitoring of 3.3V Power-Supply Voltages
• Factory Set Reset Threshold Voltage of 2.93V
• 140ms (min) Reset Timeout Period
• Manual Reset Input
• Low Supply Current of 1.0µA (typ)
• Operational Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
• Compact 5-Pin SOT-23 Package

Overall, the MAX6316LUK29BY+ from Maxim Integrated is an ideal solution for system designers looking to enhance the reliability and extend the battery life of their digital systems. Its combination of features, low power consumption, and compact form factor make it an essential component in applications such as portable devices, computers, controllers, and intelligent instruments.
