• Threshold Voltage Options: 2.93V, 3.08V, 3.30V, 4.38V, 4.63V, 4.75V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
• Quiescent Current: 7µA (typical)

Detailed Pin Configuration

The MAX6388XS16D3+T has six pins arranged as follows: 1. GND: Ground connection. 2. MR: Manual reset input pin. 3. RESET: Active-low reset output. 4. VCC: Positive power supply input. 5. TH: Threshold voltage selection pin. 6. NC: No connection.

Functional Features

• Voltage Monitoring: The MAX6388XS16D3+T continuously monitors the supply voltage and compares it with the selected threshold voltage.
• Reset Generation: When the supply voltage falls below the threshold voltage, the IC generates an active-low reset signal.
• Manual Reset: The manual reset input (MR) allows for a forced reset regardless of the monitored voltage level.
• Power-On Reset Delay: The IC includes a power-on reset delay to ensure stable operation during power-up.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages: - Compact package size allows for space-saving integration in various applications. - Wide supply voltage range enables compatibility with different power sources. - Multiple threshold voltage options provide flexibility for different system requirements.

Disadvantages: - Limited to voltage monitoring and reset functionality, may not suit applications requiring more complex features. - SOT23-6 package may have limitations in terms of heat dissipation compared to larger packages.

Working Principles

The MAX6388XS16D3+T operates by comparing the supply voltage with the selected threshold voltage. When the supply voltage drops below the threshold, the IC generates a reset signal. The manual reset input allows for a forced reset, overriding the voltage monitoring. The power-on reset delay ensures stable operation during power-up.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The MAX6388XS16D3+T is commonly used in various electronic systems where reliable voltage monitoring and reset functionality are crucial. Some application fields include: - Microcontrollers and microprocessors - Embedded systems - Industrial automation - Power management circuits - Communication devices
