GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MAX705–MAX708/MAX813L microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits reduce the complexity and number of components required to monitor power-supply and battery functions in µP systems. These devices significantly improve system reliability and accuracy compared to separate ICs or discrete components. The MAX705/MAX706/MAX813L provide four functions: 1) A reset output during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions. 2) An independent watchdog output that goes low if the watchdog input has not been toggled within 1.6 seconds. 3) A 1.25V threshold detector for power-fail warning, lowbattery detection, or for monitoring a power supply other than +5V. 4) An active-low manual-reset input. The MAX707/MAX708 are the same as the MAX705/ MAX706, except an active-high reset is substituted for the watchdog timer. Two supply-voltage monitor levels are available: The MAX705/MAX707/MAX813L generate a reset pulse when the supply voltage drops below 4.65V, while the MAX706/ MAX708 generate a reset pulse below 4.40V.
