Maxim Integrated
General Description
The MAX6877/MAX6878/MAX6879 multivoltage power trackers/sequencers/supervisors monitor up to three system voltages and provide proper power-up and power-down control for systems requiring voltage tracking or sequencing. These devices ensure controlled voltage tracking within a specified range or sequencing in the proper order as system power supplies are enabled. The MAX6877/MAX6878/MAX6879 generate all required voltages and timing to control up to three external n-channel pass FETs for the OUT1/OUT2/OUT3 supply voltages (see the Selector Guide for different features of each device).
