nanoPower Supply Supervisors with Glitch-

MAX16161/MAX16162
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX16161/MAX16162 are ultra-low current, single-
channel supervisory ICs. The devices monitor the power
supply voltage and assert a reset when the input voltage
falls below the reset threshold. After the monitoring volt-

the reset output remains asserted for the reset timeout
period and then deasserts, allowing the target microcon-
troller or microprocessor to leave the reset state and begin
operating.

CC
is especially important to avoid low-voltage cores leaving
the reset state during power-up or power-down. This also
improves performance when using the MAX16161/
MAX16162 as simple power supply sequencers, because
the devices do not cause a transient enable of a down-
stream power supply due to output glitches.

The MAX16161 features a manual reset (MR) input that
asserts a reset when it receives an appropriate input sig-
nal, which can be either active-low or active-high, depend-
ing on the option. The MAX16162 has no MR input. In-
