MAX6302EPA

Supervisors Overview

The MAX6302EPA is a low-power supervisory circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It monitors a single voltage input with an adjustable threshold and provides an active high reset signal via an open-drain or open-collector output. The device operates within a supply voltage range of up to 5.5 V and features a typical reset delay time of 4 ms. It is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package and supports through-hole mounting. The component functions as a power supply support circuit with selectable thresholds, designed for reliable system monitoring in industrial and commercial applications.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Provides active high reset signal generation based on monitored voltage levels
• Features adjustable or selectable voltage threshold for flexible configuration
• Offers open-drain or open-collector output compatibility
• Designed for low-power operation in supervisory applications

Supervisors Applications

• Power supply monitoring in embedded systems
• Microprocessor reset circuits
• Industrial control system supervision
• Battery-powered device voltage tracking

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix and revision level against the manufacturer's current datasheet, as legacy components may have multiple variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free requirements if applicable to your assembly process. Check for obsolescence notices or end-of-life notifications from Analog Devices, as this part may be discontinued. Ensure the PDIP-8 package availability aligns with your manufacturing capabilities.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel supervisor with adjustable threshold is required. Consider the open-drain output type for compatibility with various logic families. Verify that the operating temperature range meets your environmental specifications. Compare pinout and electrical characteristics with alternative supervisors if space or performance constraints exist.

Supervisors Part Context

The MAX6302EPA belongs to the MAX630x series of low-power supervisory circuits from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. This series includes variants with different packages and fixed or adjustable thresholds. The EPA suffix denotes an 8-pin PDIP package suitable for through-hole mounting. These devices are commonly used in systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brown-out protection.

Supervisors Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the MAX630x family, such as MAX6302ESA for surface mount options. Verify functional equivalence regarding threshold adjustability and output type before substitution.
