MAX6301EPA+

Supervisors Overview

The MAX6301EPA+ is a low-power voltage supervisory circuit manufactured by Analog Devices under the Maxim Integrated brand. It operates within a supply voltage range of up to 5.5 V and features an adjustable overvoltage threshold. The device provides a reset output with a fixed delay of 4 ms and includes an integrated watchdog timer for system monitoring. It supports a single monitored input and delivers an active-low, open-drain output signal. The component is designed for operation across temperatures ranging from 0°C to +70°C, consuming only 7 uA of quiescent current.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Integrates a watchdog timer for automated system recovery
• Provides adjustable overvoltage detection thresholds
• Features low quiescent current consumption for power efficiency

Supervisors Applications

• Microprocessor system supervision
• Battery-powered portable devices
• Industrial control systems requiring watchdog functionality

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPA+' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the PDIP-8 configuration. Cross-reference lead times and availability status directly with authorized distributors, as supply chain conditions may vary. Confirm RoHS compliance details if required for regulatory adherence in the target market.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when an adjustable overvoltage threshold and watchdog timer are required alongside standard voltage supervision. Consider the 4 ms reset delay and active-low open-drain output characteristics for interface compatibility. Evaluate the 7 uA current draw against total system power budgets. Verify that the 0°C to +70°C operating range meets environmental requirements for the intended application environment.

Supervisors Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6301 series of low-power, precision voltage supervisors. The series typically offers various threshold options and package configurations to suit different design constraints. The MAX6301EPA+ specifically denotes the PDIP-8 through-hole package variant with industrial temperature specifications, distinguishing it from surface-mount or extended temperature versions within the same functional family.
