Press Release | Maxim Integrated's Basic Analog Product Line Launches Industry's First Bumpless Supervisory IC to Provide Reliable Protection for Low-Voltage IoT Applications
The MAX16162 is the industry's smallest, lowest-power, bumpless supervisory circuit that prevents false power-up
More and more IoT system engineers are turning to microcontroller core voltages of 1V or even lower, and traditional monitoring circuits produce unstable outputs at such low input voltages. This makes the system prone to failure at power-on, causing the MCU to be in an uncertain state when waking up, including incorrect processor I/O outputs, read data errors, or other failures. The MAX16162 is a reliable protection IC from Maxim's basic analog device family that can eliminate the interference of spike pulses before the input voltage reaches the corresponding voltage threshold. Eliminating the interference of spike pulses not only improves the reliability of IoT systems, but also has great significance for systems such as portable medical monitoring equipment, wearables, base stations, programmable logic controllers, and automatic control.
The MAX16162 consumes only 825nA, providing reliable protection without straining limited power budgets. This basic analog supervisory IC is available in a 1.06mm x 0.73mm package, 23% smaller than the nearest competing solution, helping developers save board space.
Our foundational analog ICs leverage Maxim's heritage of low-power, high-performance, single-function products to help drive next-generation innovations across a wide range of applications and markets.
-
Eliminate the impact of low-voltage spikes: Even if the input voltage is lower than 0.6V, it can ensure a stable, disturbance-free power-on reset output, thus avoiding system failure.
-
nanoPower: current consumption is only 825nA.
-
Smallest size: 23% smaller than the closest competitor.
