4-Pin µP Voltage Monitors with Pin-Selectable
Power-On Reset Timeout Delay
General Description
Features
♦ Pin-Selectable, Precision Power-On Reset Delay:
The MAX821/MAX822 microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits monitor power supplies in µP and digital sys-
tems. They provide excellent circuit reliability and low
cost by eliminating external components and adjust-
ments when used with 5V-powered or 3V-powered cir-
cuits. The MAX821/MAX822 also provide a power-on
reset timeout delay that is pin selectable to 1ms (max),
20ms (min), or 100ms (min).
