The MAX812LEUS+T from Maxim Integrated is a compact, highly reliable microprocessor (μP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in digital systems. It provides a significant level of system integrity by asserting a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage declines below a preset threshold, ensuring that the μP and its peripherals are reset simultaneously.
Key Features
- Precision Monitoring: This device maintains an accurate monitoring system for power supply voltages, with a factory-set reset threshold voltage.
- Low Power Consumption: It is designed for low-power operation, which helps to extend battery life in portable applications.
- Manual Reset Capability: The inclusion of a manual reset input allows for a reset to be triggered with an external switch or logic signal.
- Reset Signal: The output reset signal is asserted for a minimum of 140ms after VCC has risen above the reset threshold level, ensuring proper system reboot.
- Compact Package: The MAX812LEUS+T comes in a space-saving SOT-143 package, making it ideal for use in systems where board space is at a premium.
- Temperature Range: It operates over an extended temperature range, making it suitable for commercial and industrial applications.
