MAX6385XS46D5-T

The MAX6385XS46D5-T is a robust, ultra low-power, voltage supervisor from Maxim Integrated. It is a type of supervisor IC, which is a form of Power Management ICs specifically designed to monitor and regulate power levels in an electronic device. This multipurpose supervisor can be used in several applications, as it offers a wide range of features, such as adjustable reset thresholds, versatile active-high/active-low reset pins, an open-drain output, and an automotive-grade 4.5V shelf life. In addition, the MAX6385XS46D5-T can operate over a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, making it ideal for automotive and harsh-environment applications.

The MAX6385XS46D5-T is designed to accurately monitor power input levels, detect under and overvoltages, and generate a reset signal if the voltage level is out of spec. It features fast response time, low quiescent current, and an adjustable reset level from 4.475V to 4.925V. The device includes an active-low reset signal output and an open-drain master reset output, which can be used to reset other ICs in the system, such as logic and microcontrollers. The reset conditions can be indicated with an LED, which can be attached to either the signal output or the open-drain output.

The MAX6385XS46D5-T also includes several built-in protection features that ensure a safe reset signal is generated and distributed in case of a fault. These features include voltage-level protection, which monitors the output voltage and shuts down the device if the output exceeds its safe limits, and temperature-level protection, which prevents the device from overheating. Additionally, the device is designed with a patented watch-dog timer that generates a reset signal if it fails to detect a voltage change for a certain amount of time.

The MAX6385XS46D5-T can be used in narrow and wide voltage supply applications and is an excellent choice for monitoring the voltage levels in automotive and industrial control systems. In automotive applications, the MAX6385XS46D5-T can detect low voltage levels, such as those caused by low battery, or high voltage levels, such as those caused by voltage spikes during engine cranking. In industrial applications, such as HVAC and medical systems, the MAX6385XS46D5-T can detect overvoltage faults and other situations in which protective circuitry is needed.

Overall, the MAX6385XS46D5-T can be used in a variety of applications, including automotive, industrial, medical, and HVAC systems. Its adjustable reset level and active-high/active-low reset pins, combined with its low power consumption, make it an attractive and versatile supervisor device for a variety of systems.
