2. MR (Manual Reset)
3. RESET (Reset Output)
4. VCC (Supply Voltage)
5. TH (Threshold Voltage)

Functional Features

• Voltage monitoring: The MAX6384XS16D3-T continuously monitors the supply voltage and compares it with the preset threshold voltage.
• Reset function: When the supply voltage drops below the threshold voltage, the MAX6384XS16D3-T asserts the reset output, signaling the need for a system reset.
• Manual reset: The MR pin allows for manual reset control, overriding the automatic reset function.
• Reset timeout: After asserting the reset output, the MAX6384XS16D3-T keeps it active for a fixed timeout period, ensuring sufficient time for the system to stabilize before resuming normal operation.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages

• Compact size enables integration into space-constrained designs.
• Wide operating temperature range allows for use in various environments.
• Low power consumption minimizes energy usage.
• Multiple threshold voltage options provide flexibility for different applications.

Disadvantages

• Limited number of threshold voltage options may not cater to all specific requirements.
• Lack of advanced features compared to more specialized voltage monitoring ICs.

Working Principles

The MAX6384XS16D3-T operates by continuously monitoring the supply voltage using an internal voltage comparator. When the supply voltage drops below the preset threshold voltage, the reset output is asserted, indicating the need for a system reset. The manual reset pin allows for manual control of the reset function, overriding the automatic reset feature. After asserting the reset output, the MAX6384XS16D3-T keeps it active for a fixed timeout period to ensure system stability before releasing the reset signal.
