Datasheet

General Description
The MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits monitor and control the activities of
+3.0V/+3.3V µPs by providing backup-battery switchover,
among other features such as low-line indication, µP
reset, write protection for CMOS RAM, and a watchdog
(see the
Selector Guide
below). The backup-battery volt-
age can exceed V
CC
, permitting the use of 3.6V lithium
batteries in systems using 3.0V to 3.3V for V
CC
.
The MAX793/MAX795 offer a choice of reset threshold
voltage range (denoted by suffix letter): 3.00V to 3.15V
(T), 2.85V to 3.00V (S), and 2.55V to 2.70V (R). The
MAX794’s reset threshold is set externally with a resistor
divider. The MAX793/MAX794 are available in 16-pin
DIP and narrow SO packages, and the MAX795 comes
in 8-pin DIP and SO packages.

The MAX793/MAX795 offer a choice of reset threshold voltage.
Select the letter corresponding to the desired reset threshold
voltage range (T = 3.00V to 3.15V, S = 2.85V to 3.00V, R =
2.55V to 2.70V) and insert it into the blank to complete the part
number. The MAX794’s reset threshold is adjustable.
Devices are available in both leaded and lead-free packaging.
Specify lead free by adding the + symbol at the end of the part
number when ordering.
