Precision Shunt Regulators with Reset
in SOT23-3
________________General Description
____________________________Features
♦ 100µA to 50mA Shunt Current Range
♦ Low Cost
The MAX6330/MAX6331 combine a precision shunt
regulator with a power-on reset function in a single
SOT23-3 package. They offer a low-cost method of
operating small microprocessor (µP)-based systems
from high-voltage sources, while simultaneously pro-
tecting µPs from power-up, power-down, and brownout
conditions.
♦ 3-Pin SOT23 Package
♦
1.5% Tolerance on Output Voltage
♦ Three Shunt Voltages Available: 5V, 3.3V, 3.0V
Both active-low (MAX6330) and active-high (MAX6331)
push/pull output versions are available. The output
voltage has 1.ꢀ5 tolerance. The MAX6330/MAX6331
operate over a wide shunt current range from 100µA to
ꢀ0mA, and offer very good transient immunity.
♦ Precision Power-On Reset Threshold:
1.5% Tolerance Available with Either
RESET (MAX6331) or RESET (MAX6330)
Outputs
♦ 140ms Reset Timeout Period—No External
A 3-pin SOT23 package allows for a significant reduc-
tion in board space and improves reliability compared
to multiple-IC/discrete solutions. These devices have a
minimum order increment of 2,ꢀ00 pieces.
