The MAX707ESA-TG from ON Semiconductor is a highly reliable, low-power microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems. It provides a significant level of system protection by ensuring that the µP boots up in a known state and by monitoring its operation. The device is an essential component for systems that require enhanced reliability and uptime.

Key Features

• Voltage Monitoring: The MAX707ESA-TG offers precise monitoring of the system voltage, ensuring that the system operates within safe parameters. It triggers a reset signal to the µP whenever the monitored voltage drops below a preset threshold, thus preventing system failures due to power issues.
• Manual Reset: This device includes a manual reset feature that allows for an external trigger to reset the system, providing an additional layer of control for system operators or during maintenance procedures.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for power-sensitive applications, the MAX707ESA-TG consumes minimal power, which helps to extend the battery life of portable devices and reduce overall energy consumption in wired systems.
• Watchdog Timer: A built-in watchdog timer ensures that the µP does not hang in an unresponsive state. If the µP fails to refresh the watchdog periodically, the device will issue a reset, allowing the system to recover from software glitches.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: The device is capable of operating over a broad temperature range, making it suitable for various industrial and commercial applications.

Applications

The MAX707ESA-TG is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, including:

• Computers and servers
• Embedded systems
