Maxim Integrated MAX795TESA+ Voltage Supervisor
The Maxim Integrated MAX795TESA+ is a high-precision voltage supervisor designed to maintain system integrity by monitoring power supply voltages. This essential component is engineered to ensure that electronic devices operate within their specified voltage ranges, thereby protecting them from potential damage caused by voltage fluctuations.
The MAX795TESA+ is part of Maxim's family of microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits that provide maximum flexibility and performance for system designers. This particular model comes in a compact 8-pin SOIC package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.
Key features of the MAX795TESA+ include:
- Factory-trimmed reset threshold voltages, ensuring precise monitoring of the power supply.
- A low supply current of only 15µA (typical), which contributes to the overall energy efficiency of the system.
- Capability to assert a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage falls below the reset threshold. The reset output remains asserted for a minimum of 140ms after VCC rises above the reset threshold, providing a reliable reset signal for the microprocessor.
- An active-low, push-pull RESET output, which eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor and simplifies circuit design.
- Immunity to short VCC transients, enhancing the robustness of the device under fluctuating power conditions.
- Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, allowing for deployment in various environments.
Applications for the MAX795TESA+ are diverse and include critical system monitoring in:
- Computers and servers
- Embedded systems
- Portable/battery-powered equipment
- Data storage systems
- Telecommunications infrastructure
The MAX795TESA+ is a testament to Maxim Integrated's commitment to providing reliable and efficient solutions for voltage supervision. Its precision, low power consumption, and robust feature set make it an ideal choice for designers looking to enhance system reliability and protection in their next project.
