ON Semiconductor MAX708ESA-TG Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit

Introducing the MAX708ESA-TG, a highly reliable microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed and manufactured by ON Semiconductor, a leader in energy-efficient innovations. This compact device is engineered to monitor power supplies in digital systems, ensuring that the microprocessor is reset to a known state during power-up, power-down, and brown-out conditions. The MAX708ESA-TG is an essential component for managing system integrity and preventing data corruption in a wide array of electronic applications.

The device comes in a space-saving 8-pin SOIC package, making it suitable for use in systems where space is at a premium. It offers a combination of features including a manual reset input, which provides a direct and easy way to initiate a system reset. Additionally, it has a reset timeout of 200ms, ensuring that the system has sufficient time to stabilize during power-up or when manual reset is applied.

The MAX708ESA-TG operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal for 5V powered systems. It has a low supply current of only 12µA, contributing to the energy efficiency of the overall system. The reset output is active-low, which is a standard configuration compatible with most microprocessors and other digital ICs.

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality is evident in the MAX708ESA-TG, which features an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, allowing it to perform reliably in harsh environments. This device is designed to meet the stringent requirements of complex digital systems, providing both robustness and precision in supervisory functions.

Whether you are designing consumer electronics, industrial control systems, or automotive applications, the MAX708ESA-TG from ON Semiconductor is an excellent choice to enhance system reliability and protect against unexpected power failures or anomalies. Its combination of features, compact footprint, and industry-leading performance make it a versatile and essential component in any microprocessor-based system.
