Powering the MAX6874/MAX6875
The MAX6874/MAX6875 derive power from the positive
voltage-detector inputs: IN1 or IN3–IN5. A virtual diode-
ORing scheme selects the positive input that supplies
power to the device (see the Functional Diagram). IN1
must be at least +4V or one of IN3–IN5 (MAX6874)/
IN3–IN4 (MAX6875) must be at least +2.7V to ensure
device operation. An internal LDO regulates IN1 down
to +5.4V.
The highest input voltage on IN3–IN5 (MAX6874)/
IN3–IN4 (MAX6875) supplies power to the device, unless
VIN1 ≥ +6.5V, in which case IN1 supplies power to the
device. For +4V < VIN1 < +6.5V and one of VIN3 through
VIN5 > +2.7V, the input power source cannot be deter-
mined due to the dropout voltage of the LDO. Internal
hysteresis ensures that the supply input that initially pow-
ered the device continues to power the device when
multiple input voltages are within 50mV of each other.
ABP powers the analog circuitry; bypass ABP to GND
with a 1µF ceramic capacitor installed as close to the
device as possible. The internal supply voltage, mea-
sured at ABP, equals the maximum of IN3–IN5
(MAX6874)/IN3–IN4 (MAX6875) if VIN1 = 0, or equals
+5.4V when VIN1 > +6.5V. Do not use ABP to provide
power to external circuitry.
The MAX6874/MAX6875 also generate a digital supply
voltage (DBP) for the internal logic circuitry and the
EEPROM; bypass DBP to GND with a 1µF ceramic
capacitor installed as close to the device as possible.
The nominal DBP output voltage is +2.55V. Do not use
DBP to provide power to external circuitry.
Inputs
The MAX6874/MAX6875 contain multiple logic and volt-
age-detector inputs. Table 1 summarizes these various
inputs.
Set the threshold voltages for each voltage-detector
input with registers 00h–05h. Each threshold voltage is
an undervoltage threshold. Set the threshold range for
each voltage detector with register 0Dh.
