The MAX614ESA-T is a high-performance, low-power CMOS microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed by Maxim Integrated to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems. It provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used in system monitoring applications.

Key Features

• Power Supply Monitoring: The MAX614ESA-T ensures that the system's power supply remains within acceptable voltage levels, enhancing system reliability.
• Reset Output: It offers a reset output feature that remains asserted for a minimum of 140ms after VCC has risen above the reset threshold level, ensuring a proper system reset on power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for low-power operation, this device is ideal for battery-powered equipment due to its minimal power draw.
• Adjustable Reset Threshold: The reset threshold can be externally adjusted to the needs of the specific application, providing design flexibility.
• Watchdog Timer: A watchdog timer is built-in to reset a µP if it fails to strobe within a preset timeout period, enhancing system security and reliability.
• Compact Package: The MAX614ESA-T comes in a small 8-pin SO package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.

Applications

This supervisory circuit is particularly useful in a wide range of applications, including:

• Computers and Controllers
• Intelligent Instruments
• Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment
