MAX6302CPA

Supervisors Overview

The MAX6302CPA+ is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It provides robust power-system supervision with an adjustable reset threshold and watchdog timer functionality. The device monitors voltages ranging from 1.1V to 5V using a factory-set or selectable threshold. It features an open-drain or open-collector output that can be configured for active-high or active-low reset signals. The component operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (TA) and is housed in an 8-PDIP package.
