Working Principles

The MAX16016PTBT+T is designed to monitor the supply voltage of a system and generate a reset signal when the voltage falls below a certain threshold. It operates by comparing the supply voltage with the selected threshold voltage. When the supply voltage drops below the threshold, the reset output is activated, signaling the microcontroller or digital system to reset.

The reset timeout period can be adjusted using an external capacitor, allowing designers to set the duration for which the reset signal remains active after the supply voltage returns to normal. This feature prevents premature system restarts due to temporary voltage fluctuations.
