What this supervisor does on the rail
The Maxim Integrated MAX6314US31D3+T is a single-channel voltage supervisor that asserts a reset signal when the monitored supply drops below 3.08 V. It holds the reset output active for a minimum of 140 ms after the supply recovers, giving the downstream processor time to stabilize its oscillator and power-on sequence. The active-low, bidirectional output can be wire-ORed with other reset sources on the board. This part monitors a single voltage rail. The -40°C to 85°C operating range covers industrial control, telecom, and outdoor equipment where the ambient temperature inside the enclosure can swing well above commercial limits. Packaged in a SOT-143-4, it occupies minimal board area and is suited for space-constrained designs like sensor nodes, baseband modules, and compact PLC I/O cards. Surface-mount assembly keeps production costs low.
3.08 V threshold — what it means for the BOM
The 140 ms minimum reset timeout is long enough to cover most crystal oscillator start-up times and supply ramp characteristics. It also masks short glitches on the supply, reducing nuisance resets in noisy environments like motor drives or switching power supplies.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The MAX6314US31D3+T is listed as Active on the lifecycle record. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed, which simplifies compliance with EU and global material restrictions.
