MAX6342RUT

Overview

The MAX6342RUT is a microprocessor supervisory circuit from the MAX6342–MAX6345 family, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It monitors system power supplies and asserts a reset signal when voltage falls below the threshold. The device features a push-pull, totem-pole reset output and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.6V to 5V. It is housed in a compact SOT-23-6 surface-mount package. The component ensures valid reset down to V = 1V and provides immunity to short supply transients.

Feature Summary

• Monitors digital system power supplies for under-voltage conditions
• Provides a push-pull, totem-pole reset output signal
• Guarantees reset validity down to 1V supply voltage
• Immune to short supply voltage transients

Applications

• Digital system power supply monitoring
• Microprocessor supervisory circuits
• Embedded system reset generation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RUT' indicates the tape-and-reel packaging format and pin configuration as defined in the official datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer documentation. Check for end-of-life notifications or discontinuance alerts prior to procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a push-pull reset output is required rather than an open-drain type. Ensure the application voltage range aligns with the 1.6V to 5V operating window. Verify that the SOT-23-6 package footprint fits the design constraints compared to other variants in the MAX634x family.

Part Context

The MAX6342RUT belongs to the MAX6342–MAX6345 family of low-power microprocessor supervisors. These devices are designed to monitor single-supply voltages in digital systems. The family offers various output types and thresholds, with the MAX6342 specifically providing a push-pull output option for direct drive applications.

Replacement Considerations

Consider MAX6343, MAX6344, or MAX6345 for alternative output configurations or thresholds within the same family. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications against the original design requirements before substitution.
