Working Principles

The MAX6367PKA29+T is designed to monitor voltage levels in electronic systems. It compares the input voltage with a user-defined threshold voltage (set using an external capacitor) and generates a reset signal when the voltage falls below the threshold. The reset signal can be used to initiate system recovery or perform specific actions based on the application requirements.
