Working Principles

The MAX6710HUT+T is designed to monitor the voltage level of a power supply. It compares the input voltage with the set threshold voltage, which can be adjusted using the TH pin. When the input voltage falls below the threshold, the RESET pin is activated, generating a low logic level signal. This signal can be used to reset microcontrollers, digital circuits, or other devices connected to it.

The device operates with low quiescent current, ensuring minimal power consumption. The fixed reset timeout period prevents false resets during voltage fluctuations, providing stable and reliable operation.
