circuits reduce the complexity and number of components required for power-supply monitoring and battery-control functions in microprocessor (μP) systems. These include μP reset and backup-battery switchover, watchdog timer, CMOS RAM write protection, and power-failure warning. The MAX696/MAX697 significantly improve system reliability and accuracy compared to that obtained with separate ICs or discrete components. The MAX696 and MAX697 are supplied in 16-pin packages and perform six functions: 1) A reset output during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions. The threshold for this “lowline” reset is adjustable by an
