1.665V threshold — the decision spec
The MAX6862UK17: If your monitored rail dips below 1.665V, the active-low, push-pull output drives low immediately, holding the system in reset until the supply recovers and the timeout expires. The reset timeout is adjustable or selectable via an external capacitor, so you set the hold-off period to match the power supply's rise time and the downstream device's startup requirements. SOT-23-5 package (SC-74A, SOT-753) with surface-mount footprint — fits the standard 5-pin supervisor layout used across the MAX686x family.
Active production — sourcing reality
Note the RoHS compliance status: this part is listed as RoHS non-compliant. Verify your assembly process and end-market regulations before committing the BOM line — a lead-bearing termination may require an exemption or a RoHS-compliant alternative.
