MAX6407BS30+T

Today’s electronic product design combines many components. Along with this, the power management of these components needs to be managed in a safe, precise and efficient way. A key component of this power management is the MAX6407BS30+T supervisor IC. It is part of a growing range of PMIC-Supervisors that are designed for low power systems.

This product implements a wide range of features that can help manage the reliable operation of the power components in a system. In addition it can also detect and monitor any possible faults in the system. It is designed to work with a wide range of input voltages, from 2.0V to 5.5V, allowing it to be used as a versatile power management solution.

The MAX6407BS30+T is an integrated, cost-effective supervisor IC which monitors the voltage of the system’s power rails. It will alert the system to any potential fault or impairment in the power supply and can prevent the system from accidentally resetting itself while the power rails remain in their expected state. It includes low voltage monitoring and reset circuits with programmable reset thresholds. It also includes a power-on reset, brownout protection, power-good signal and active-low reset output.

The power management system is monitored using a voltage supervisor integrated circuit (IC). This is essentially a comparator that receives a voltage signal from a power rail and compares it to a reference voltage. If the voltage signal is greater than the reference voltage, the supervisor will activate a reset signal, warning the electronic system that the power rail is potentially impaired. Once the power rail is within a safe range, the supervisor will re-activate the reset signal, allowing the system to continue running.

The MAX6407BS30+T supervisor IC offers a wide range of features for managing power supply rails, including active-low reset (LVR), brownout protection (BOD) and power-on reset (POR). It also offers a power-good signal that can be used to check the supply voltage is within the desired range before the system ramps up its supply voltage levels. This is especially useful when powering on a system from a cold start.

The MAX6407BS30+T supervisor IC is simple to configure. All the user needs to do is to program the reset thresholds and under-voltage detection levels. This can be done using software, with the signal thresholds set using the serial EEPROM interface. The supervisor also includes an open-drain active-low reset output which can be used to control the reset state of the system’s power rails. The signal is driven by an internal voltage re-set flip-flop that is reset and activated by a valid supply voltage.

The MAX6407BS30+T supervisor IC is part of a growing range of PMIC-Supervisors that are designed for use in low power systems. The device is cost effective and simple to configure, making it an ideal choice for any application that requires reliable power management. It is an excellent choice for applications such as mobile handsets, digital cameras and digital video products, as well as for products with battery backup.
