Product Overview: MAX814KEPA+ from Maxim Integrated

The MAX814KEPA+ is a highly reliable, precision microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed by Maxim Integrated to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems. It provides a significant line of defense against system failures caused by fluctuations and failures in the power supply. This component is especially suitable for portable and battery-powered equipment due to its low power consumption and small footprint.

Key Features

• Voltage Monitoring: The MAX814KEPA+ offers precise monitoring of +5V, +3.3V, +3V, +2.5V, or adjustable voltage supplies, ensuring that the system operates under optimal power conditions.
• Reset Output: It generates a reset signal when the monitored voltage drops below the factory-set threshold, effectively resetting the µP system to prevent erroneous operation.
• Low Power Consumption: With its low quiescent current draw, this device is an excellent choice for power-sensitive applications, extending battery life and reducing energy costs.
• Manual Reset Capability: A manual reset input allows for an external trigger to initiate a system reset, providing additional system management flexibility.
• Power-On Reset Delay: The integrated power-on reset delay timer ensures that the system has sufficient time to stabilize before the µP starts operation, which is critical for reliable system boot-up.
• Compact Package: Housed in a compact 8-pin DIP package, the MAX814KEPA+ saves valuable board space and is well-suited for space-constrained applications.
