Working Principles

The MAX6386LT46D3+T operates by comparing the input voltage with the threshold voltage set by the user. When the input voltage exceeds the threshold, the output pin goes high, indicating a "high" state. Conversely, when the input voltage falls below the threshold, the output pin goes low, indicating a "low" state. This digital output can be used to trigger various actions or alarms based on the monitored voltage level.
