Maxim Integrated MAX816CSA+T Battery Backup IC

The Maxim Integrated MAX816CSA+T is a highly reliable, compact, and efficient battery backup IC that is designed to provide a secure power management solution for memory, microcontroller, and other nonvolatile systems. This device ensures that critical data is protected during power failures by automatically switching to backup battery power when the main supply voltage drops below a preset threshold.

Key Features

• Power-Supply Voltage Monitoring: The MAX816CSA+T continuously monitors the power supply voltage and automatically switches to the backup battery when necessary.
• Low Power Consumption: With its low quiescent current, it minimizes power consumption in backup mode, thereby extending the life of the backup battery.
• Chip Enable Gating: The integrated chip enable gating function prevents memory corruption during power transitions by disabling the chip enable output.
• Compact SMD Package: Available in a space-saving 8-pin SO package, the IC is suitable for use in systems where board space is at a premium.

Applications

The MAX816CSA+T is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including:

• Portable Devices
• Embedded Systems
