MAX795TEPA

Supervisors Overview

The MAX795TEPA is a microprocessor supervisory circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It operates within a supply voltage range of up to 5.5 V and features an adjustable reset threshold voltage between 3.00 V and 3.15 V. The device provides an active-low open-drain reset output with a fixed reset delay time of 280 ms. It supports battery backup switchover functionality and includes an external switch driver for power management applications. The component is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package and is designed for through-hole mounting.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Provides active-low reset signal generation for microprocessor systems
• Supports automatic battery backup switchover for continuous operation
• Includes an external switch driver for power path control
• Features adjustable reset threshold voltage selection

Supervisors Applications

• Microprocessor system supervision
• Battery backup power management circuits
• Portable electronic device power monitoring

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as distribution may be limited or discontinued. Confirm RoHS compliance details and specific manufacturing lot dates upon request. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature rating. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official Analog Devices documentation to confirm functional equivalence before procurement.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when an adjustable reset threshold between 3.00 V and 3.15 V is required for 3.0 V or 3.3 V systems. Choose the MAX795TEPA for through-hole PCB designs requiring battery backup switchover capabilities. Consider the 280 ms reset delay and active-low output characteristics for compatibility with target microprocessor reset inputs.

Supervisors Part Context

The MAX795TEPA belongs to the MAX795 series of microprocessor supervisory circuits from Maxim Integrated. This series is designed to monitor power supply voltages and ensure reliable system startup and shutdown. The TEPA suffix indicates the specific package configuration and temperature range suitable for industrial applications.

Supervisors Replacement Considerations

Check for MAX795RCPA+ for similar supervisory functions in a PDIP-8 package, noting potential differences in operating temperature range and threshold adjustability. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications against the MAX708 series if manual reset features are acceptable alternatives.
