MAX696/MAX697
Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
General Description
Features
● Adjustable Low-Line Monitor and Power-Down Reset
● Power-OK/Reset Time Delay
The MAX696/MAX697 supervisory circuits reduce the
complexity and number of components required for
power-supply monitoring and battery-control functions
in microprocessor (μP) systems. These include μP reset
and backup-battery switchover, watchdog timer, CMOS
RAM write protection, and power-failure warning. The
MAX696/MAX697 significantly improve system reliability
and accuracy compared to that obtained with separate
ICs or discrete components.
● Watchdog Timer—100ms, 1.6s, or Adjustable
● Minimum Component Count
● 1μA Standby Current
● Battery-Backup Power Switching (MAX696)
● On-Board Gating of Chip-Enable Signals (MAX697)
● Separate Monitor for Power-Fail or Low-Battery
Warning
The MAX696 and MAX697 are supplied in 16-pin pack-
ages and perform six functions:
Ordering Information
1) A reset output during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions. The threshold for this “lowline”
reset is adjustable by an external voltagedivider.

4) The reset time may be left at its default value of 50ms,
or may be varied with an external capacitor or clock
pulses.

Devices in PDIP and SO packages are available in both leaded
and lead(Pb)-free packaging. Specify lead free by adding the +
symbol at the end of the part number when ordering. Lead free
not available for CERDIP package.
5) A separate 1.3V threshold detector for power-fail warn-
ing, low-battery detection, or to monitor a power supply
other than V
.

Pin Configurations
The MAX696 also has battery-backup switching for CMOS
RAM, CMOS microprocessor, or other lowpower logic.
TOP VIEW
The MAX697 lacks battery-backup switching, but has
write-protection pins (CE IN and CE OUT) for CMOS
RAM or EPROM. In addition, it consumes less than 250
microamperes.
