ON Semiconductor MAX708TCUA-TG Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit

The MAX708TCUA-TG from ON Semiconductor is a highly reliable microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems. It provides a significant level of protection to ensure that the system operates correctly even during power failures or unexpected events. This compact component is an essential addition to any design requiring robust power management and monitoring.

With its precision factory-trimmed V_CC reset threshold and low supply current, the MAX708TCUA-TG is optimized for low-power operations, making it well-suited for battery-powered applications. It is capable of asserting a reset signal whenever the V_CC supply voltage declines below the preset threshold, ensuring the µP resets cleanly during power-up, power-down, and brown-out conditions.

Key features of the MAX708TCUA-TG include:

• Factory-Trimmed V_CC Reset Threshold: This device comes with a preset V_CC threshold, providing a high level of accuracy and reliability for monitoring the system voltage.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for power-sensitive applications, it has a typical supply current of only 17µA, which helps to extend battery life in portable devices.
• Reset Output Stage: The reset output is available in both push-pull and open-drain configurations, offering flexibility in interfacing with other components of the system.
• Manual Reset Input: An additional feature is the manual reset capability, which allows for an external trigger to initiate a system reset.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: It operates over an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliability across various environmental conditions.

Offered in a compact 8-pin µMAX package, the MAX708TCUA-TG is space-efficient and ideal for space-constrained applications. Whether it's for computers, controllers, intelligent instruments, or portable electronics, this supervisory circuit helps maintain the integrity of the system by providing a dependable monitoring solution.

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality ensures that the MAX708TCUA-TG meets stringent industry standards, providing a robust and reliable component for your power management needs.
