The MAX6371KA-T is a sensitive device and requires careful layout and placement to ensure optimal performance. It is recommended to place the device close to the battery, use short traces, and avoid routing high-frequency signals near the device. Additionally, a solid ground plane and a decoupling capacitor (e.g., 0.1uF) between VCC and GND are recommended.
The RST output is an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor to a voltage rail (e.g., VCC). During power-up, the RST output will be low until the internal voltage regulator is stable and the device is fully powered up. During power-down, the RST output will go low before the device shuts down. It is recommended to use a pull-up resistor value between 1kΩ to 10kΩ to ensure proper operation.
The maximum allowed voltage on the VCC pin during startup and operation is 6V. Exceeding this voltage may damage the device. It is recommended to use a voltage regulator or a voltage limiter to ensure the VCC pin does not exceed 6V.
To ensure the device is in a low-power state during shutdown, the SHDN pin should be driven low and the VCC pin should be disconnected from the power source. Additionally, any external loads connected to the device should be disconnected or powered down to minimize power consumption.
The recommended operating temperature range for the MAX6371KA-T is -40°C to +85°C. Operating the device outside this range may affect its performance and reliability.
