Working Principles

The MAX6368LKA44+T operates by continuously monitoring the input voltage. When the voltage falls below the threshold voltage set by the TH pin, the circuit generates an active-low reset signal on the RESET# pin. This reset signal can be used to initialize the system or trigger specific actions during power-up or brownout conditions. The MR# pin allows for manual reset control, providing additional flexibility in system operation.
