Working Principles

The MAX634CPA operates by comparing the input voltage at the Threshold pin with an internal reference voltage. When the input voltage falls below the threshold, the reset output is activated, indicating a low-voltage condition. The reset output remains active until the input voltage rises above the threshold again.
