MAX6896AAZT+T

The MAX6896 family of supervisors enable users to monitor and protect critical system conditions in a variety of applications. The MAX6896AAZT+T is a version of the MAX6896 family specifically designed to control various power levels on newer designs based on cellular and application processors. Paired with its in-system-programmability (ISP), the MAX6896AAZT+T provides a high degree of flexibility for application designers, offering a variety of configurations for system power control.

The MAX6896AAZT+T offers a feature set designed for power and performance management in a variety of applications. By detecting power-fail conditions on the system’s system-level voltage rail, it can effectively control power levels across the system. It can be configured to manage power with either independent or co-dependent operation, and it can provide a reset pulse when chip power is lost.

The supervisor includes an advanced IMVP7-based core-power control and a wide-range of programmable reset thresholds to help manage system power. The MAX6896AAZT+T is also designed to regulate core voltages for better performance and power savings when needed. In addition, the supervisor can be used to monitor temperature and other system conditions as needed. The supervisor supports a wide range of input voltages from 2.3V to 28V, which is suitable for most applications.

The MAX6896AAZT+T also includes two watchdog timers, one with programmable timeout and one with 4-bit counts that can be configured to generate a reset pulse after a specified interval. An internal oscillator allows the supervisor to generate a pulse at a fixed interval, or it can use an external clock to generate a pulse according to the needs of the application.

The MAX6896AAZT+T is also programmable through serial or I2C interfaces and includes a built-in EEPROM to store configurations and settings. The MAX6896AAZT+T also features a wide-temperature range operation with ambient temperatures from -25°C to +85°C. The part is available in a space-saving SSOP-8 package for easy PCB layout and implementation in most designs.

The MAX6896 family of supervisors represents a powerful and flexible solution for applications that require reliable power control and monitoring. With its advanced features, the MAX6896AAZT+T can provide system designers with the flexibility and control needed for a wide variety of applications. It is suitable for a variety of applications, including cellular phones, navigation systems, and medical devices, to name a few.
