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