Maxim Integrated MAX6713REXS-T Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit

The Maxim Integrated MAX6713REXS-T is a highly reliable microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to maintain system integrity during power failures or unexpected events. This compact and efficient device is an essential component for managing system resets and monitoring power supplies in digital systems. It is particularly suitable for portable and battery-powered applications due to its low power consumption.

Key Features

• Power Supply Monitoring: The MAX6713REXS-T supervises the power supply voltage levels to ensure that the microprocessor and other critical components operate within their specified voltage ranges. It generates a reset signal whenever it detects an out-of-tolerance condition, thereby protecting the system from erratic behavior.
• Adjustable Reset Threshold: This device offers an adjustable reset threshold feature that allows designers to set the voltage level that triggers the reset signal, providing flexibility to match the requirements of various microprocessors and systems.
• Manual Reset Input: A manual reset input is included, enabling the system to be reset externally by a user or another system component, which is useful for initiating system reboots or for testing purposes.
• Low Power Consumption: With its low quiescent current, the MAX6713REXS-T is ideal for power-sensitive applications, helping to extend battery life and reduce energy costs.
• Multiple Reset Timeouts: The device also features programmable reset timeout periods, giving system designers the ability to define the duration of the reset pulse as per the system's requirements.
• Compact Package: Available in a small, 4-pin SC70 package, the MAX6713REXS-T saves valuable board space, which is crucial for space-constrained applications.

Applications

The versatility of the MAX6713REXS-T makes it a perfect fit for a wide range of applications, including:

• Portable/Battery-Powered Devices
• Embedded Systems
• Computers and Servers
• Communication Equipment
• Industrial Controllers

With its robust feature set and Maxim Integrated's reputation for quality, the MAX6713REXS-T is a top choice for designers looking to enhance system reliability and performance.
