The MAX16006BTG+ is a monolithic Three-Channel Voltage Monitor and Supervisor (VMS) with active-high reset status and pushbutton reset (PBR) functions. It is designed to support an input-voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V and works within a wide temperature range from –40°C to +125°C. This device is primarily used for monitoring and resetting the overvoltage or undervoltage conditions for digital systems.
Application Fields
The MAX16006BTG+ has several application fields, most notably in battery-powered portable digital devices due to its low power-supply current. Applications such as medical, automotive, digital consumer, wireless, and smart grid benefit from its features such as input-voltage detection, adjustable reset timeout, and push-button reset (PBR).
Features and Benefits
The MAX16006BTG+ provides several features and benefits, including a 10μA supply current, adjustable reset timeout, selectable reset thresholds with an accuracy of ±1.5%, a push-button reset (PBR) input, active-high reset status output to indicate system reset was completed, and a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
Working Principle
The MAX16006BTG+ contains three independent monitoring and supervisory circuits that monitor input voltages. It also features Reset Push-button Input (RST PBI) that is used to manually initiate a reset to active-low logic output (RST OUT) when it is pulled to an active-low voltage for more than a preset time, and then the pin must be released for the RST OUT to de-assert. The device also features Overvoltage Detect Output (OVD) that asserts when the input voltage rises above the input voltage thresholds.
Conclusion
The MAX16006BTG+ is an excellent choice for monitoring and resetting the overvoltage or undervoltage conditions for digital systems when used within the proper environment. Its features such as input-voltage detection, adjustable reset timeout, and push-button reset (PBR), make it an ideal product for applications such as medical, automotive, digital consumer, wireless, and smart grid.
