Maxim Integrated MAX6713ZEXS+T - Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit

The MAX6713ZEXS+T is a highly reliable microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed by Maxim Integrated to monitor power supplies in digital systems. It provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used in systems that require voltage monitoring and processor supervision.

This supervisory circuit is particularly suitable for portable and battery-powered applications due to its low power consumption. It ensures that the µP is reset to a known state during power-up, power-down, or brown-out conditions. The MAX6713ZEXS+T asserts a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage falls below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for at least 140ms after VCC has risen above the reset threshold.

Key features of the MAX6713ZEXS+T include:

• Factory-Set Reset Thresholds: The reset voltage thresholds are available in a range of factory-set options, allowing designers to select the appropriate threshold for their specific application.
• Low Power Consumption: With its low supply current, this device is an excellent choice for power-sensitive applications.
• Manual Reset Input: A manual reset input is provided, enabling a pushbutton or other input signal to trigger a system reset.
• Immune to Short VCC Transients: The reset output remains in the correct state during short-duration transients on the VCC line, ensuring reliable operation.
• Compact SOT-343 Package: The small size of the SOT-343 package makes it ideal for space-constrained applications.

The MAX6713ZEXS+T operates over a wide temperature range, making it versatile for use in various environments. Its built-in features reduce the complexity and component count in the power supply monitoring section of a system design, offering a straightforward solution for enhancing system reliability. Whether used in computers, controllers, intelligent instruments, or portable electronics, the MAX6713ZEXS+T provides a dependable safeguard for your digital system's integrity.

With Maxim Integrated's reputation for quality and performance, the MAX6713ZEXS+T is a top choice for designers looking to incorporate robust µP supervisory functions into their products.
