What the smart ON/OFF controller does in a power-management chain
The MAX16151AWT+: It monitors a 3V threshold and asserts a reset output — configurable as Active High or Active Low — to hold the system in reset until the supply is stable, then releases it after a timed interval. The output stage is available as either open-drain or push-pull, giving the designer flexibility to interface with downstream logic families or pull-up requirements without an external level translator.
Package and board integration for the WLP footprint
Housed in a 6-WFBGA, WLBGA package with a supplier device package designation of 6-WLP (0.83x1.24), the MAX16151AWT+ occupies minimal board area. The 0.83 mm x 1.24 mm WLP footprint requires a solder-mask-defined pad layout and a controlled reflow profile typical for wafer-level packages — the board house must support the fine-pitch BGA process. Surface-mount mounting and strip packaging mean the part ships in a carrier tape compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment. The small package and single-voltage monitoring suit space-constrained designs where a dedicated pushbutton controller with integrated timing replaces a discrete supervisor plus RC delay circuit.
Active lifecycle and compliance status
RoHS compliance is confirmed at the ROHS3 level, covering the ten restricted substances plus four phthalates under EU Directive 2015/863.
