The MAX824MEUK is a compact, highly-reliable microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed by Maxim Integrated to monitor power supplies in digital systems. It provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used in systems with 5V, 3.3V, 3V, and other voltage-powered circuits.
This supervisory circuit ensures that the µP is reset to a known state during power-up, power-down, or brown-out conditions. The reset output remains asserted for a minimum timeout period after VCC has risen above the reset threshold level. The MAX824MEUK comes with a factory-trimmed reset threshold suitable for operation with a variety of supply voltages and offers a choice of reset timeout periods. The device is available in a compact SOT-23 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.
Key Features:
- Precision Monitoring of 5V, 3.3V, and 3V Supplies: The device is designed for accurate monitoring of its supply voltage with minimal external components required.
- Low Power Consumption: The MAX824MEUK is optimized for low-power operation, which makes it suitable for battery-operated and portable applications.
- Programmable Reset Timeout Delay: It offers various options for the timeout period after a reset has been asserted, which can be selected based on the specific needs of the application.
- Manual Reset Input: The device includes an input that allows for a manual reset, enabling greater control over the reset function.
- Compact SOT-23 Packaging: The small footprint of the SOT-23 package allows for efficient use of board space in design.
With its combination of features, the MAX824MEUK is ideally suited for microprocessor systems, computers, controllers, and intelligent instruments where reliable reset functionality is critical. Maxim Integrated's commitment to quality and innovation ensures that the MAX824MEUK is a trustworthy component for maintaining system integrity under variable power conditions.
