The MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits simplify power-supply monitoring, battery control, and chip-enable gating in µP systems by reducing the number of components required. These devices are designed for use in +5V-powered systems. Low supply current (11µA typical) and small package size make these devices ideal for portable applications. The MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 are specifically designed to ignore fast transients on VCC. Other supervisory functions include active-low reset, backup battery switchover, watchdog input, battery freshness seal, and chip-enable gating. The Selector Guide below lists the specific functions available from each device.
