________________General Description

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.

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

50mA, and offer very good transient immunity.

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 2,500 pieces.
