MAX6751KA29+TCLC

Introduction

The MAX6751KA29+TCLC is a supervisor IC (integrated circuit) developed by Maxim Integrated, a leader in semiconductor industry. This integrated circuit, when used in power management applications, provides an intelligent, synergetic, and cost-effective solution for integrated systems with improved performance and reductions in PCB area and component count.

Application Field

The MAX6751KA29+TCLC has extensive applications in the industry, due to its high performance, small size and low cost. The integrated circuit features a high frequency, low-dropout (LDO) regulator and a pushbutton control with selectable operating voltages. It is particularly useful in the development of single-board computing, low-power embedded systems, medical equipment and other system power management applications.

The MAX6751KA29+TCLC combines several important power management functions, making it a powerful choice in low-voltage systems. These include: a voltage supervisor, system reset/power-on, sleep mode enable/disable, voltage monitoring and system enable/disable.

Working Principle

The MAX6751KA29+TCLC works by monitoring the system voltage levels and switching the output accordingly. It has a supply voltage range of 1.2V to 5.5V. When the system supply voltage falls below the predefined voltage threshold, the integrated circuit will shut down the system, preventing further damage. If the voltage rises above the threshold again, the MAX6751KA29+TCLC will enable the system once more.

The MAX6751KA29+TCLC also provides a pushbutton enable/disable switch for system enable/disable. When the switch is pressed, the integrated circuit activates a low-power power-down mode, which cuts the power supply of the system. This switch is useful for saving power in systems which do not need to run continuously. For example, if a system requires a longer down time than normal, it can be attached to the MAX6751KA29+TCLC switch to prevent power consumption while the system is idle.

The integrated circuit also features voltage monitoring. It monitors the system voltage and can detect when the voltage is falling below a certain level. It can then trigger an interrupt signal to indicate that the system supply voltage is low, giving the user a warning to adjust the power supply voltage before damage to the system occurs.

Conclusion

The MAX6751KA29+TCLC is an excellent choice for low-voltage systems needing a reliable and cost-effective system power management solution. By integrating several functions into one device, it saves space and complexity in PCBs, and provides improved performance. Its voltage supervisor, system reset/power-on, sleep mode enable/disable, voltage monitoring and system enable/disable functions make it an ideal all-in-one solution for integrated system development.
