Maxim Integrated MAX6377UR23+T Voltage Detector

The MAX6377UR23+T is a precision microprocessor (μP) supervisory circuit designed by Maxim Integrated to monitor power supplies in digital systems. It provides a significant layer of protection by ensuring that the system's voltage levels remain within acceptable thresholds, thus safeguarding the integrity of the system's operation. This voltage detector is ideal for a wide range of applications, including portable/battery-powered equipment, computers, controllers, and intelligent instruments.

This device operates over a wide voltage range and is capable of monitoring a preset threshold voltage of 2.32V. When the monitored voltage falls below this threshold, the MAX6377UR23+T asserts a reset signal to prevent the system from operating under conditions that could lead to unreliable performance or damage. The reset output remains asserted for a minimum timeout period after the voltage rises above the threshold, ensuring system stability during power-up or transient conditions.

The MAX6377UR23+T comes in a compact SOT-23 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. It features a low supply current of 1.2μA, which is particularly advantageous for battery-powered devices where power conservation is critical. The device also includes a manual reset input, allowing for an external trigger to initiate a system reset. This feature provides an additional level of control for system designers and operators.

Key features of the MAX6377UR23+T include:

• Precision monitoring of 2.32V voltage threshold
• Low power consumption with 1.2μA supply current
• Manual reset input for external override
• Minimum 140ms reset timeout period
• Compact and reliable SOT-23 package
• Wide operating temperature range

The MAX6377UR23+T is an essential component for systems that require reliable voltage monitoring, offering both precision and low power consumption. With its robust feature set, this voltage detector from Maxim Integrated ensures that digital systems maintain optimal performance by providing timely and effective system resets whenever necessary.
