MAX16162NDK300+

Supervisors Overview

The MAX16162NDK300+ is a micropower supervisor IC designed for low-voltage IoT applications. It monitors input voltage and asserts a reset output when the voltage falls below a specific threshold. The device features an independent VCC supply pin, allowing operation with separate logic and monitor supplies. Key electrical parameters include a typical quiescent current of 825 nA to extend battery life, a reset threshold range from 0.6 V to 4.85 V, and multiple selectable reset timeout periods. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Glitch-free reset generation ensures reliable microcontroller initialization without false triggers during power transitions.
• Ultra-low static current consumption significantly extends battery operating life in portable and wearable devices.
• Independent VCC and VIN inputs allow flexible power management by separating the monitored rail from the logic supply.

Supervisors Applications

• Low-voltage microcontrollers and microprocessors
• Portable and battery-powered equipment
• Wearable accessories and electronic readers

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix NDK300 against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the specific reset threshold voltage and package configuration. Ensure compatibility with system voltage requirements before integration. Check current availability status as distribution may vary.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring minimal standby current and robust protection against brown-out conditions. The wide threshold range allows customization for various logic families. Verify that the required reset delay meets the target processor's startup timing specifications.
