Q&A MAX809's Irregularity Depending on Load

I have a MAX809 with RESET pin connected to the gate of IRLML6344. I will rephrase my question. At 5 V, RESET is also 5 V and the LED lights up. But if I add the fan, RESET drops to 0 V and draws 1...

  • Circuit Stops Working Depending on Load
  • MAX809's Irregularity Depending on Load
  • I have a [MAX809](https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX803-MAX810Z.pdf) with rst pin connected to the gate of [IRLML6344](https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/irlml6344pbf.pdf?fileId=5546d462533600a4015356689c44262c).
  • I will rephrase my question.
  • At 4V, RST is also 4V and the LED lights up. But if I add the fan, RST drops to 0V. Adding a 0.1uF cap solved this problem. What is happening here?
  • ![Image alt text](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/pKDfy2y89LH1P5oq3PXhQTaA)
  • So I added the MOSFET to the circuit but RST drops to 0V again when I connect a load. I have isolated the problem to the MAX809. I am thinking of using TP431 to replace MAX809. But is this a normal behavior?

  • For context, this is what I planned to do.

  • I will rephrase my question.
  • At 5 V, RESET is also 5 V and the LED lights up. But if I add the fan, RESET drops to 0 V and draws 140 mA. Adding a 100 nF cap solved this problem. What is happening here?
  • ![Image alt text](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/PDSiZ6Qsn8eh3wgoXGAsWZg8)
  • Then I added a MOSFET to the circuit but depending on what is connected to LOAD2, RESET triggers at different values. I tried with 0.1 µF, 1 µF, and 10 µF. But RST triggers outside the specs. (specs is RESET off at 2.80 V and RESET is on at 2.93 V)
  • Using 100 µF at C2,
  • RESET is low at 2.80 V and high at 2.93 V when load is only an LED.
  • RESET is low at 2.86 V and high at 2.93 V when load are LED and a DC fan with 150 mA current draw.
  • RESET is low at 2.9 V and high at 3.2 V when I added a buck converter (LM2596) with nothing connected to it.

clarifications
