Product Overview: MAX6706LKA+T from Maxim Integrated

The MAX6706LKA+T is a high-quality, reliable supervisory circuit produced by Maxim Integrated, designed to enhance the performance and safety of microprocessor (µP) systems. This compact device is engineered to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems, providing a significant layer of protection against system failures due to unstable or incorrect voltage levels.

The MAX6706LKA+T comes in a small, 8-pin SOT23 package, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications. It features a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage, which ensures that the µP resets cleanly during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions. The reset output remains asserted for a minimum of 140ms after V<sub>CC rises above the reset threshold, providing ample time for the µP to stabilize.

This supervisory circuit also includes a manual reset input, which allows for a system reset to be triggered with an external pushbutton or other input, offering additional flexibility and control to the user. Furthermore, the MAX6706LKA+T supports a low supply current, making it an energy-efficient choice for battery-powered devices.

Key features of the MAX6706LKA+T include:

• Precision factory-set V<sub>CC reset thresholds
• 140ms (min) reset timeout period
• Manual reset capability
• Low supply current of 5.5µA (typical)
• Wide operating voltage range, suitable for a variety of applications
• Guaranteed reset valid to V<sub>CC = 1V
• Immunity to short V<sub>CC transients

With its robust feature set, the MAX6706LKA+T is particularly well-suited for portable devices, computers, controllers, and intelligent instruments, where precision voltage monitoring is critical to ensure the integrity and reliability of system operations.

Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality and performance is evident in the MAX6706LKA+T, making it a preferred choice for designers looking for a supervisory circuit that can provide both protection and peace of mind in their electronic systems.
