MAX6715

The MAX6715-MAX6729 are ultra-low-voltage microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits designed to monitor two or three system power-supply voltages. These devices assert a system reset if any monitored supply falls below its factory-trimmed or adjustable threshold and maintain reset for a minimum timeout period after all supplies rise above their thresholds. The integrated dual/triple supervisory circuits significantly improve system reliability and reduce size compared to separate ICs or discrete components.

These devices monitor primary supply voltages (V_CC1) from 1.8V to 5.0V and secondary supply voltages (V_CC2) from 0.9V to 3.3V with factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage options (see Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide). An externally adjustable RSTIN input option allows customers to monitor a third supply voltage down to 0.62V. These devices are guaranteed to be in the correct reset output logic state when either V_CC1 or V_CC2 remains greater than 0.8V.

A variety of push-pull or open-drain reset outputs along with watchdog input, manual reset input, and power-fail input/output features are available (see Selector Guide). Select reset timeout periods from 1.1ms to 1120ms (min) (see Reset Timeout Period Suffix Guide). The MAX6715-MAX6729 are available in small 5, 6, and 8-pin SOT23 packages and operate over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
