General Description

The MAX6342–MAX6345 family of microprocessor (µP)

supervisory circuits monitors power supplies in digital sys-

tems. These devices significantly improve system reliabili-

ty and accuracy compared to separate ICs or discrete

components.

reset threshold voltages from 2.33V to 4.63V and operate

with supply voltages between +1V and +5.5V. A +1.25V

threshold detector allows for a power-fail warning, for

low-battery detection, or for monitoring another power

supply. The MAX6342 contains an MR input and an

active-low push-pull reset. The MAX6343 and MAX6344

are identical to the MAX6342 except they provide an

active-low, open-drain reset and an active-high, push-

pull reset, respectively. The MAX6345 provides a second

reset output in place of the MR input to give it an active-

high push-pull reset and an active-low push-pull reset.

All of the devices are packaged in a miniature 6-pin

SOT23.
