Maxim Integrated MAX819LCSA+ Product Overview

The MAX819LCSA+ is a highly efficient, compact, and versatile microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit, designed by Maxim Integrated to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems. It provides significant reliability and ensures stable operation through its monitoring capabilities. This supervisory IC is ideal for use in a variety of applications, including computers, controllers, intelligent instruments, and portable battery-powered electronics.

Key Features

• Precision Monitoring: The MAX819LCSA+ offers precision monitoring of its own power supply voltage. It has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage that ensures the µP is reset to a known state during power-up, power-down, or brown-out conditions.
• Low Power Consumption: This device is optimized for low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-operated systems. Its quiescent current is minimal, thus preserving battery life.
• Manual Reset Capability: An additional feature is the manual reset input, which allows for a manual system reset by an external push-button or logic signal.
• Reset Timeout: The MAX819LCSA+ has an internally fixed timeout period that ensures the system microprocessor is held in reset for an adequate amount of time to allow for a proper startup.
• Compact Package: Housed in an 8-pin SOIC package, this device requires minimal board space, which is a critical factor in space-constrained applications.

Applications

• Computers and Servers
• Embedded Systems
• Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment
• Intelligent Instruments
• Industrial Controllers

The MAX819LCSA+ is a testament to Maxim Integrated's commitment to providing robust and reliable integrated circuits that enhance the performance and stability of electronic systems. With its precision voltage monitoring and power-saving features, the MAX819LCSA+ is an essential component for ensuring the continuous and trouble-free operation of your microprocessor-based applications.
