SOT23 Power-Supply Sequencers
General Description
Features
The MAX6819/MAX6820 are power-supply sequencers
for dual-voltage microprocessors (µPs) and multivolt-
age systems. These devices monitor a primary supply
voltage and enable/disable an external N-channel
MOSFET switch for a secondary supply voltage. The
MAX6819/MAX6820 control local component voltage
sequencing when system power-on/power-off charac-
teristics cannot be guaranteed (supplies come from a
multivoltage system bus, silver box, or must be
sequenced in different modes for components on the
same board). These small power-supply sequencers
improve system reliability.
o Adjustable Primary Supply Voltage Monitor
(Monitors Down to 0.62V)
o Internal Charge Pump to Enhance External
Secondary Supply N-Channel MOSFET Switch
o Delay from Primary Supply Good to Secondary
Supply Enabled
Factory Fixed 200ms (MAX6819)
Capacitor Adjustable (MAX6820)
o Logic Driven ENABLE Input (MAX6819)
o Immune to Short Voltage Transients
o Few External Components
The MAX6819/MAX6820 include an internal voltage ref-
erence/comparator with externally adjustable thresh-
olds to monitor the primary power supply. When the
primary supply is below the desired threshold, an exter-
nal secondary supply MOSFET switch is disabled.
When the primary supply exceeds the threshold, an
internal charge pump is activated and the external
MOSFET switch is enabled to connect the secondary
supply to the load. The charge pump fully enhances the
o -40°C to +125°C Operating Temperature Range
o Small 6-Pin SOT23 Package
