Working Principles

The MAX6388XS36D1-T operates by continuously monitoring the supply voltage connected to the VCC pin. When the voltage falls below the selected threshold voltage, the IC generates a reset signal on the RESET# pin. This signal can be used to initiate a system reset or trigger other actions as required. The MR# pin allows for manual reset control, providing flexibility in system design.
