Product Overview: MAX6386XS29D3+T by Maxim Integrated

Maxim Integrated's MAX6386XS29D3+T is a highly reliable, low-power microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in digital systems. It provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used in system monitoring applications. This supervisory circuit ensures that the microprocessor is reset to a known state during power-up, power-down, or brown-out conditions.

Key Features

• Voltage Monitoring: The MAX6386XS29D3+T monitors the VCC power-supply voltage and maintains a reset output until that voltage reaches a stable operating level and maintains it for a specified period, ensuring a proper system reset.
• Precision Factory-Set Reset Thresholds: This device comes with factory-set reset thresholds suitable for monitoring 2.9V power supplies, providing the precision needed for reliable system operation.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for power-sensitive applications, it consumes minimal power, which is critical for battery-operated devices.
• Manual Reset Input: A manual reset input is provided, allowing a pushbutton or an external signal to initiate system reset, offering additional system control flexibility.
• High Reset Output Accuracy: The reset output is guaranteed to be in the correct state for VCC down to 1.0V, which is essential for low-voltage operations.
• Immune to Short VCC Transients: The device includes features to ignore short-duration VCC transients, preventing unnecessary system resets and ensuring stable operation.
• Compact Package: The MAX6386XS29D3+T is available in a small, surface-mount SOT-343 package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.
