4-Pin µP Voltage Monitors
with Manual Reset Input
________________General Description
____________________________Features
The MAX811/MAX812 are low-power microprocessor
(µP) supervisory circuits used to monitor power sup-
plies in µP and digital systems. They provide excellent
circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external
components and adjustments when used with 5V-
powered or 3V-powered circuits. The MAX811/MAX812
also provide a debounced manual reset input.
