Maxim Integrated MAX793TESE+ Overview

The MAX793TESE+ is a high-quality, precision microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit produced by Maxim Integrated, designed to monitor power supplies in µP and digital systems. It provides excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used in conjunction with +5V-powered circuits.

Key Features

• Voltage Monitoring: The device keeps a watchful eye on the system's power supply, ensuring that the microprocessor is reset to a known state during power-up, power-down, and brown-out conditions.
• Reset Output: It features an active-low RESET output, which remains asserted for a minimum of 200ms after VCC has risen above the reset threshold level, guaranteeing a proper system reset.
• Manual Reset: An additional feature is the manual reset input, which allows for a reset to be triggered with an external pushbutton or logic signal.
• Watchdog Timer: The built-in watchdog timer monitors the microprocessor activity and initiates a system reset if the microprocessor fails to strobe within a preset timeout period.
• Power-Fail Input: It includes a power-fail input that triggers an early warning when the power supply falls below a certain threshold, allowing the system to take appropriate actions before a power failure occurs.
• Supply Voltage: The MAX793TESE+ operates with a +5V ±10% supply voltage, making it suitable for many digital systems that require a stable 5V rail.

Applications

Its robust feature set makes the MAX793TESE+ an ideal choice for critical system monitoring in a variety of applications, including:

• Computers and Servers
• Embedded Systems
