Maxim Integrated MAX6713ZEXS Microprocessor Supervisor

The Maxim Integrated MAX6713ZEXS is a highly reliable and robust microprocessor supervisory circuit designed 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 with a single 2.93V power-supply voltage. This makes it an ideal solution for supervisory functions in a wide range of electronic applications, including computers, controllers, and intelligent instruments.

The MAX6713ZEXS features a precision voltage monitor with a factory-set reset threshold of 2.93V, ensuring that the connected microprocessor is reset to a known state during power-up, power-down, or brown-out conditions. The reset output remains asserted for a minimum of 140ms after VCC has risen above the reset threshold, providing a proper reset to the microprocessor when power is restored.

One of the key features of this device is its debounced manual reset input, which allows for a manual reset of the microprocessor. This can be particularly useful during system maintenance or troubleshooting. Additionally, the MAX6713ZEXS offers a low supply current of only 17µA (typical), which is beneficial for power-sensitive applications where energy efficiency is crucial.

The compact SOT143 package of the MAX6713ZEXS makes it suitable for space-constrained applications. Its small footprint does not compromise its performance or reliability, offering an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, which ensures stable operation even in harsh environmental conditions.

Overall, the Maxim Integrated MAX6713ZEXS microprocessor supervisor is a versatile and dependable component that provides critical monitoring and protection for digital systems. Its ease of integration, along with its manual reset feature, low power consumption, and compact packaging, make it a valuable asset for designers looking to enhance system reliability and performance.
