The MAX6332/MAX6333/MAX6334 microprocessor (P) supervisory circuits monitor the power supplies in 1.8V to 3.3V P and digital systems. They increase circuit reliability and reduce cost by eliminating external components and adjustments. These devices perform a single function: they assert a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage declines below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for a preset timeout period after VCC has risen above the reset threshold. The only difference among the three devices is their output. The MAX6333 (push/pull) and MAX6334 (open-drain) have an active-low RESET output, while the MAX6332 (push/pull) has an active-high RESET output. The MAX6332/MAX6333 are guaranteed to be in the correct state for VCC down to 0.7V. The MAX6334 is guaranteed to be in the correct state for VCC down to 1.0V.
