Maxim Integrated MAX6336US18D3-T Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit

The Maxim Integrated MAX6336US18D3-T is a highly reliable and versatile microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to maintain system integrity during power-up, operation, and power-down. This compact device offers a precise monitoring solution for microprocessors, ensuring that the system operates within safe voltage levels and providing a reset signal to the µP during out-of-tolerance power supply conditions.

Key Features

• Voltage Monitoring: The device monitors a +1.8V power supply, providing a robust solution for low-voltage applications. It ensures that the µP and other system components operate reliably within their specified voltage ranges.
• Reset Output: The MAX6336US18D3-T features an active-low reset output, which remains asserted for a minimum timeout period after VCC has risen above the reset threshold. This ensures that the µP starts up cleanly during power-up, power-down, or brownout conditions.
• Manual Reset Input: An additional manual reset input allows for a system reset to be triggered externally, offering further control and diagnostic capabilities for system maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed with power-sensitive applications in mind, the device consumes minimal power, making it suitable for battery-operated and portable devices.
• Compact Package: Supplied in a space-saving SOT-143 package, the MAX6336US18D3-T is ideal for applications where board space is at a premium.

Applications

The MAX6336US18D3-T is well-suited for a wide range of applications, particularly those requiring reliable voltage monitoring and reset functions. These include:

• Portable/Battery-Powered Devices
• Embedded Systems
• Microprocessor-Based Systems
• Industrial Controllers
• Automotive Systems

With its precision voltage monitoring and reset capabilities, the MAX6336US18D3-T from Maxim Integrated is an essential component for ensuring the reliable operation of modern electronic systems. Its integration into your design can help to protect against data corruption, hardware damage, and system failures due to unstable or inadequate power supplies.
