The MAX810MD from NXP Semiconductors is a highly reliable, precision microprocessor (μP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor the power supplies in μP and digital systems. It provides a significant function in these systems by asserting a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage declines below a preset threshold, ensuring the proper operation of the system during power-up, power-down, and brown-out conditions.
Key Features
- Precision Voltage Monitoring: The MAX810MD offers precise monitoring of the power supply voltage with a factory-trimmed reset threshold level, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.
- Low Power Consumption: With its low power consumption, this supervisory circuit is an excellent choice for power-sensitive applications, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the system it monitors.
- Reset Signal: It provides an active-low reset signal, which remains asserted for a minimum duration after VCC has risen above the reset threshold level, allowing the μP and other digital components enough time to stabilize.
- Wide Operating Voltage Range: The device is designed to operate over a wide voltage range, accommodating various system requirements and enhancing its versatility in different application contexts.
- Temperature Stability: The reset threshold is stable over the full temperature range, ensuring reliable operation under varying environmental conditions.
Applications
The MAX810MD is suitable for a broad range of applications, including:
- Computers and Controllers
- Embedded Systems
- Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment
- Intelligent Instruments
- Automotive Systems
