Product Overview: MAX696EWE+T

The MAX696EWE+T from Maxim Integrated is a highly reliable and robust microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit, designed 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 a variety of electronic applications.

Key Features

• Voltage Monitoring: This device ensures that the system voltage remains within acceptable limits, providing a precision voltage monitor for power-fail or low-battery warning.
• Reset Functionality: It generates a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage declines below a preset threshold, maintaining it until VCC has returned to an acceptable level and a stable period (typically 200ms) has passed.
• Watchdog Timer: The integrated watchdog timer ensures that the µP hangs in faulty conditions are detected and handled by forcing a system reset.
• Battery Backup Switching: It features a battery backup capability that automatically switches to the backup battery upon failure or disruption of the main supply, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
• Temperature Range: The device operates over an extended temperature range, making it suitable for industrial applications.
• Packaging: It comes in a 16-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width) package, providing a compact solution for space-constrained applications.
