MAX8215EPD

Supervisors Overview

The MAX8215EPD is a microprocessor supervisory circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand, housed in a 14-pin PDIP package. It features five independent voltage monitoring channels with programmable thresholds and an integrated watchdog timer. The device provides reset output signals upon detection of power supply anomalies or timeout conditions. It operates within a specified temperature range and supports manual reset functionality for system control.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Five-channel voltage supervision with programmable threshold detection
• Integrated watchdog timer with selectable timeout intervals
• Manual reset input capability for system initialization
• Push-pull reset output configuration

Supervisors Applications

• Microprocessor power supply monitoring systems
• Industrial control unit reset circuits
• Embedded system voltage supervision
• Communication equipment power management

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and datasheet revision prior to procurement. Ensure packaging specifications match application requirements. Validate pinout compatibility with target PCB layout. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes before finalizing orders.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Evaluate channel count requirements against available alternatives. Consider threshold accuracy specifications for critical applications. Assess operating temperature range compatibility with environmental conditions. Review power consumption metrics for low-power designs. Verify package availability and lead times for production planning.

Supervisors Part Context

Part of the MAX821x series of multi-channel supervisory circuits designed for comprehensive power management. Shares architectural similarities with single-channel variants but offers expanded monitoring capabilities. Commonly used in complex embedded systems requiring multiple voltage domain oversight.

Supervisors Replacement Considerations

MAX8215CPD+ serves as a direct pin-compatible alternative with identical functional specifications. Cross-reference datasheets to confirm parameter equivalence before substitution.
