The MAX802LCPA+ is a precision voltage supervisor IC designed and manufactured by Maxim Integrated, a renowned leader in the development of innovative analog and mixed-signal products. This compact and efficient integrated circuit is engineered to monitor power supplies in microprocessor and digital systems, providing a crucial safeguard against low voltage conditions, which can lead to system errors and hardware damage.
The device is characterized by its ability to assert a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage falls below a preset threshold. This reset signal remains active until the supply voltage returns to an acceptable level and maintains stability for a specified period, ensuring the system has adequate time to return to a stable operating condition. The reset output of the MAX802LCPA+ comes in an active-low, push-pull configuration, which is compatible with a wide range of microprocessors and digital systems.
The MAX802LCPA+ operates over a wide supply voltage range and features a low supply current, making it an energy-efficient choice for battery-powered applications. Its precision voltage monitoring capability ensures reliable operation, even in the most critical applications.
Key features of the MAX802LCPA+ include:
- Precision monitoring of 5V, 3.3V, and other voltage options
- Low power consumption
- Active-low, push-pull reset output
- 200ms minimum power-on reset delay
- Guaranteed reset valid to VCC = 1V
- Temperature range from 0°C to +70°C
- Available in an 8-pin PDIP package
The MAX802LCPA+ is ideal for use in computers, controllers, intelligent instruments, and portable/battery-powered equipment, where maintaining the correct operation voltage is critical. Its robust design and proven reliability make it a trusted solution for system designers looking to enhance the resilience and stability of their electronic products.
