Product Overview: MAX795SCPA+ from Maxim Integrated

The MAX795SCPA+ is a high-performance, low-power 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 systems that require voltage monitoring and battery control functions.

This supervisory circuit is particularly suitable for use in portable equipment, computers, controllers, and intelligent instruments where it ensures that the μP is only operational when the power supply is within acceptable limits. It protects the system by monitoring the power supply voltage and asserting a reset if the supply voltage drops below a predetermined threshold. The reset output remains asserted for a period after the supply voltage rises above the reset threshold, ensuring the μP has a stable power supply before resuming operation.

The MAX795SCPA+ features a precision voltage monitor with a 4.65V threshold, a 200ms reset timeout, and a manual reset capability. It is designed to be highly energy-efficient, which is critical for battery-powered devices. The device operates over a wide voltage range and has a low quiescent current, making it an ideal choice for systems that require long battery life.

The product is packaged in an 8-pin PDIP package, which is easy to integrate into a variety of circuit designs. It operates over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in a wide range of environmental conditions.

Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality means that the MAX795SCPA+ is manufactured to high standards, ensuring reliable monitoring of system voltages and protection for your critical applications. By choosing the MAX795SCPA+, designers can be confident that they are using a supervisory circuit that will maintain system integrity and extend the life of their products.
