Maxim Integrated MAX6705SKA-T Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit

The MAX6705SKA-T from Maxim Integrated is a highly reliable and efficient microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies and microprocessor activity in digital systems. It provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when monitoring nominal system voltages from 1.8V to 5V.

Key Features:

• Voltage Monitoring: This component is capable of monitoring several nominal system voltages, including 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V, which are common in digital systems. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
• Reset Output: The MAX6705SKA-T features an active-low reset output, which ensures that the µP starts in a known state. The reset signal remains asserted for a minimum of 140ms after the supply voltage exceeds the reset threshold, providing ample time for system stabilization.
• Low Power Consumption: With its low supply current of 6µA (typical), it is an excellent choice for power-sensitive applications.
• Compact SOT23 Packaging: The device comes in a small SOT23-8 package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.
• Manual Reset Input: A manual reset input is provided, allowing for a reset to be triggered with an external switch or logic signal, offering additional system control flexibility.
