Product Overview

• Category: Integrated Circuit (IC)
• Use: Voltage Monitor
• Characteristics: Low-power, precision voltage monitor with adjustable threshold
• Package: SOT23-3
• Essence: Monitors the voltage level of a power supply and provides an output signal when the voltage falls below a certain threshold
• Packaging/Quantity: Tape and Reel, 3000 units per reel

Specifications

• Supply Voltage Range: 1.6V to 5.5V
• Adjustable Threshold Voltage Range: 0.4V to VDD - 0.2V
• Quiescent Current: 1µA (typical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C

Detailed Pin Configuration

The MAX6368LKA26+TG0N has three pins:

1. GND: Ground connection
2. TRIP: Output signal indicating the monitored voltage is below the threshold
3. VDD: Power supply input

Functional Features

• Low-power consumption enables battery-powered applications
• Adjustable threshold voltage allows customization for different voltage levels
• Precision monitoring ensures accurate detection of voltage drops
• Open-drain output allows easy interfacing with other devices

Advantages

• Wide supply voltage range accommodates various power supply configurations
• Adjustable threshold voltage provides flexibility in voltage monitoring applications
• Low quiescent current minimizes power consumption
• Small package size (SOT23-3) saves board space

Disadvantages

• Limited number of pins may restrict additional functionality
• Lack of built-in hysteresis may lead to false triggering in noisy environments

Working Principles

The MAX6368LKA26+TG0N operates by comparing the input voltage (VDD) with the adjustable threshold voltage. When VDD falls below the threshold, the TRIP pin is pulled low, indicating a voltage drop. The open-drain output allows easy connection to other devices for further processing or triggering actions.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The MAX6368LKA26+TG0N finds applications in various fields, including:

1. Battery-powered devices: Monitors battery voltage to prevent over-discharge and protect sensitive electronics.
2. Power supply monitoring: Ensures stable operation of power supplies by detecting voltage drops and triggering corrective actions.
3. Industrial control systems: Provides voltage monitoring capabilities in control panels and equipment to maintain system integrity.
