The MAX809EUR+T from Maxim Integrated is a compact, three-pin microprocessor (μP) supervisory circuit that provides a highly accurate and reliable system reset. This component is specifically designed to monitor power supplies in digital systems; it ensures that the microprocessor is reset to a known state during power-up, power-down, or brown-out conditions. The MAX809EUR+T is an essential component for systems that require a high degree of operational reliability and precision.
Key Features
- Precision Monitoring: It features a precision voltage sensor capable of monitoring VCC for under-voltage conditions. Once an out-of-tolerance condition is detected, the reset output is asserted, which remains active until VCC returns to an acceptable level.
- Low Power Consumption: This device is optimized for low power consumption, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications, including portable and battery-operated equipment.
- Manual Reset Input: The inclusion of a manual reset input allows for a reset to be triggered with an external switch or logic signal, providing additional system control.
- High Accuracy: The reset threshold voltage is factory-trimmed to high accuracy, which ensures reliable reset activation at the appropriate voltage level.
- Immunity to Short VCC Transients: The MAX809EUR+T is designed to ignore short-duration transients on the VCC line, which helps prevent false triggering of the reset signal.
Applications
The MAX809EUR+T is versatile and can be used across a wide range of applications, including:
- Computers and Controllers
- Embedded Systems
- Battery-Powered Equipment
- Intelligent Instruments
- Portable Consumer Electronics
