Key Featrues

Extended Manual Reset Setup Period: The MAX6443–MAX6452 series features an extended setup period for manual reset inputs, which helps ignore short switch closures (nuisance resets). This enhances reliability in applications where accidental resets could disrupt operations, such as in automotive or industrial equipment.
Low Supply Current (6µA): With a low supply current of just 6µA, these supervisory circuits are highly efficient, making them ideal for battery-powered devices like MP3 players and medical devices, where power consumption is critical.
Precision Factory-Set Reset Thresholds: The devices offer precision factory-set reset thresholds ranging from 1.6V to 4.6V, ensuring accurate monitoring of voltage levels. This precision is crucial for maintaining stable operation in sensitive applications like consumer electronics and set-top boxes.
Active-Low RESET Outputs (Push-Pull or Open-Drain): The active-low RESET outputs provide flexibility in interfacing with various systems. The open-drain or push-pull options allow for compatibility with different logic levels, enhancing versatility in design.
AEC-Q100 Qualification: The MAX6444US16K/V+T variant is AEC-Q100 qualified, making it suitable for automotive applications. This certification ensures reliability and performance under harsh automotive conditions, such as extreme temperatures and vibrations.

Applications

Automotive Systems: The MAX6443–MAX6452 microprocessor reset circuits are ideal for ensuring reliable operation in automotive systems, such as engine control units (ECUs) and infotainment systems. Their extended manual reset setup period prevents nuisance resets caused by short voltage transients, making them suitable for harsh automotive environments where stability is critical.
Medical Devices: These reset circuits are well-suited for medical devices, such as patient monitors and portable diagnostic equipment. Their low 6µA supply current and precision reset thresholds ensure reliable operation in battery-powered devices, while their immunity to short voltage transients guarantees consistent performance in sensitive medical applications.
Industrial Equipment: The MAX6443–MAX6452 series is perfect for industrial equipment, including PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and motor control systems. Their ability to monitor single or dual supply voltages and their extended manual reset setup period make them ideal for maintaining system stability in noisy industrial environments.
Consumer Electronics: These reset circuits are highly effective in consumer electronics, such as set-top boxes and MP3 players. Their small SOT143 and SOT23 packages save board space, while their low power consumption and precision reset thresholds ensure reliable performance in compact, power-sensitive devices.
