Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits The MAX693CPE is a microprocessor (μP) supervisory circuit manufactured by Maxim Integrated. Below are its specifications, descriptions, and features based on factual information from Ic-phoenix technical data files:
### **Specifications:**
- **Manufacturer:** Maxim Integrated
- **Part Number:** MAX693CPE
- **Package:** 16-Pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-Line Package)
- **Type:** Microprocessor (μP) Supervisory Circuit
- **Operating Voltage Range:** 1.2V to 5.5V
- **Reset Threshold Accuracy:** ±1.5% (typical)
- **Reset Timeout Period:** Adjustable (external capacitor) or fixed (200ms typical)
- **Watchdog Timer:** Programmable (1.6s nominal timeout)
- **Power-On Reset (POR):** Included
- **Supply Current:** 40μA (typical)
- **Operating Temperature Range:** 0°C to +70°C
### **Descriptions:**
The MAX693CPE is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor system power supplies and provide reset signals to μPs during power-up, power-down, or brownout conditions. It includes a watchdog timer, power-fail comparator, and manual reset input for enhanced system reliability.
### **Features:**
- **Power Supply Monitoring:** Monitors VCC and generates a reset signal if voltage drops below a preset threshold.
- **Adjustable Reset Timeout:** Allows customization via an external capacitor.
- **Watchdog Timer:** Prevents system lockup by triggering a reset if the μP fails to toggle the watchdog input.
- **Manual Reset Input:** Allows an external push-button to force a system reset.
- **Low Power Consumption:** Ideal for battery-powered applications.
- **Power-Fail Comparator:** Provides early warning of impending power loss.
- **Wide Operating Voltage Range:** Supports systems from 1.2V to 5.5V.
