Working Principles

The MAX6368HKA31-T is designed to monitor the voltage level of a power supply. It compares the supply voltage with a user-selectable threshold voltage and generates a reset signal when the voltage falls below the threshold. The device operates with low quiescent current, ensuring minimal power consumption.

The manual reset input allows the system to be controlled externally, enabling a forced reset when required. The open-drain reset output can be connected to other devices for synchronization purposes. Additionally, the reset timeout capacitor allows adjustment of the reset delay time.
