MAX690–MAX695
Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Supervisory Function Integration Saves Board Space
while Fully Protecting Microprocessor-Based Systems
• Precision Voltage Monitor
The MAX690 family of supervisory circuits reduces the
complexity and number of components required for
power supply monitoring and battery control functions in
microprocessor systems. These include µP reset and
backup-battery switchover, watchdog timer, CMOS RAM
write protection, and power-failure warning. The MAX690
family significantly improves system reliability and accu-
racy compared to that obtainable with separate ICs or
discrete components.
- 4.65V (MAX690, MAX691, MAX694, MAX695)
- 4.40V (MAX692, MAX693)
• Power OK/Reset Time Delay
- 50ms, 200ms, or Adjustable
• Watchdog Timer
- 100ms, 1.6s, or Adjustable
• Battery Backup Power Switching
• Voltage Monitor for Power Fail or Low Battery
Warning
The MAX690, MAX692, and MAX694 are supplied in
8-pin packages and provide four functions:
● A reset output during power-up, power-down, and
• Minimum External Component Count
brownout conditions.
● Low Power Consumption in Battery Backup Mode
Extends Battery Life
● Battery backup switching for CMOS RAM, CMOS
microprocessor or other low power logic.
• 1µA Standby Current
● A Reset pulse if the optional watchdog timer has not

Against Erroneous Data Written to RAM During Low
● A 1.3V threshold detector for power fail warning, low
battery detection, or to monitor a power supply other
than +5V.
