The MAX6415UK+T from Maxim Integrated is a highly precise, low-power microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in digital systems. It provides a significant degree of reliability and accuracy, ensuring the proper operation of microprocessor-based systems by monitoring the power supply voltage levels.
Key Features
- Voltage Monitoring: This device is capable of monitoring a preset threshold voltage, ensuring that the system voltage does not fall below a critical level which could lead to system malfunction.
- Low Power Consumption: The MAX6415UK+T is engineered for power-sensitive applications, consuming minimal power and thus contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the system it is monitoring.
- Reset Output: Upon detection of an out-of-tolerance power supply condition, the device asserts a reset signal to the host processor, which holds the processor in a reset state for a minimum of 140ms after the supply voltage exceeds the reset threshold, ensuring a proper system restart.
- Manual Reset Input: This feature allows for a manual system reset, which can be triggered by an external source, providing an additional layer of control.
- Compact SOT23 Packaging: The small size of the SOT23 package makes the MAX6415UK+T an ideal choice for space-constrained applications.
Applications
The MAX6415UK+T is versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment
- Computers and Controllers
- Embedded Systems
- Data Storage Systems
