Product details
Overview
MAX695C/D from Maxim Integrated is a 16-pin microprocessor supervisory circuit providing precision reset generation, adjustable watchdog timer, battery backup switchover, power-fail detection, and chip-enable gating for CMOS RAM/EEPROM. It features 4.65V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, 1.6s/100ms selectable watchdog, 1.3V PFI comparator, and VOUT switching between VCC and VBATT. Used in industrial controllers and automotive ECUs requiring reliable power monitoring and data retention.
For engineers reviewing the MAX695C/D datasheet, MAX695C/D pinout, MAX695C/D application, or MAX695C/D equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin SOIC/N package, dual reset outputs (RESET and RESET), BATT ON and WDO status signals, CE IN/CE OUT write-protection logic, and compatibility with 2.0–4.25V backup batteries and 4.75–5.5V main supplies.
Technical Context
The MAX695C/D integrates five core supervisory functions: a precision 4.65V ±150mV reset voltage detector with 50ms minimum pulse width (200ms typical), an adjustable watchdog timer using internal oscillator or external clock/capacitor, a bidirectional battery switchover circuit with 70mV turn-on/50mV turn-off thresholds, a 1.3V reference-based power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and active-high CE gating logic that forces CE OUT high during brownout to prevent erroneous RAM writes.
Its dual reset outputs (active-low RESET and active-high RESET) support direct connection to both standard and inverted microprocessor reset inputs. The BATT ON output sinks 25mA to drive external PNP transistors for high-current backup, while the WDO signal provides independent watchdog fault indication-both enabled only in the 16-pin variants like MAX695C/D, not the 8-pin MAX690 family.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - ensures reliable reset assertion for +5V ±5% supplies before microprocessor operation becomes unstable. |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 200ms - holds reset active long enough for crystal oscillators and firmware initialization after power-up or brownout recovery. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (long) or 100ms (short) - configurable via OSC SEL/OSC IN to match software execution cycles without false triggers. |
| Battery Switchover | VCC-to-VBATT transition at 70mV rise / 50mV fall - hysteresis prevents chatter during slow supply decay near switchover point. |
| PFI Comparator Threshold | 1.3V ±100mV - enables accurate early power-fail warning by scaling system supply with external resistive divider. |
| VOUT Output Current | 50mA from VCC, 250µA from VBATT - sufficient to power typical CMOS RAM and RTC during main supply loss. |
| Supply Current (Backup) | 1µA max - extends lithium or coin-cell battery life to >10 years in always-on memory backup applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX695C/D is supplied in 16-pin packages: plastic DIP (C suffix), wide SOIC (D suffix), and CERDIP (M suffix). All variants share identical pinout and electrical behavior.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main +5V supply input; powers internal circuitry and sources VOUT when higher than VBATT. |
| 2 | VBATT | Backup battery input; connected to coin cell or supercapacitor; switchover occurs when VCC drops below VBATT −50mV. |
| 3 | VOUT | Switched output delivering higher of VCC or VBATT; powers CMOS RAM and real-time clock during main supply loss. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise on reset timing. |
| 5 | PFI | Noninverting input to 1.3V comparator; used with external resistor divider to detect power fail or low-battery condition. |
| 6 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output; drives microprocessor NMI line to initiate data save before VCC falls below reset threshold. |
| 7 | WDI | Three-level watchdog input; toggling required every 100ms or 1.6s; floating disables watchdog function. |
| 8 | OSC SEL | Oscillator select; floating or high enables internal oscillator; low enables external clock or capacitor timing on OSC IN. |
| 9 | OSC IN | Timing input; accepts external clock (0–250kHz) or 47pF capacitor to adjust watchdog and reset timeout periods. |
| 10 | CE IN | Chip-enable gate input; connects to microprocessor CE/WR line; CE OUT follows CE IN only when VCC ≥ 4.65V. |
| 11 | CE OUT | Controlled chip-enable output; forced high during brownout to block RAM writes regardless of CE IN state. |
| 12 | BATT ON | Active-low battery-active indicator; sinks 25mA to drive base of external PNP transistor for high-current backup. |
| 13 | LOW LINE | Active-low VCC monitor; goes low immediately when VCC falls below 4.65V and returns high as soon as VCC recovers. |
| 14 | WDO | Watchdog fault output; goes low on timeout and remains low until next WDI transition - provides independent fault signaling. |
| 15 | RESET | Active-low reset output; asserted during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout; 200ms pulse width ensures full MCU reset. |
| 16 | RESET | Active-high reset output; inverse of RESET pin; eliminates need for external inverter in systems requiring high-true reset. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Reset Outputs | Simultaneous active-low RESET and active-high RESET eliminate external inverters and support mixed-logic systems. |
| Adjustable Watchdog Timing | Configurable 100ms/1.6s timeout via OSC SEL/OSC IN enables precise alignment with software loop timing and boot sequences. |
| CE Gating with Brownout Lockout | CE OUT forced high when VCC < 4.65V prevents accidental RAM writes during power instability - critical for data integrity. |
| Low-Power Battery Backup Mode | 1µA max quiescent current extends CR2032 battery life beyond 10 years while maintaining CMOS RAM contents. |
| Integrated Power-Fail Warning | 1.3V PFI comparator with PFO output enables early NMI-triggered data save before VCC crosses reset threshold. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |

FAQ
What is the reset timeout delay of the MAX695C/D?
The MAX695C/D provides a fixed 200ms reset timeout delay after VCC rises above the 4.65V threshold. This duration ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessor clock stabilization and firmware initialization before release from reset. Unlike the 8-pin MAX690 series, the MAX695C/D does not support adjustable reset delay via external components - the 200ms value is guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage for consistent system behavior.
Does the MAX695C/D support battery backup switchover?
Yes, the MAX695C/D supports automatic battery backup switchover between VCC and VBATT. When VCC drops below VBATT minus 50mV, the internal switch connects VBATT to VOUT, sustaining power to CMOS RAM and RTC. The switchover comparator includes 20mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation near the threshold. VOUT delivers up to 250µA from VBATT with only 1µA quiescent current, enabling multi-year operation on coin cells.
Can the MAX695C/D be used with a 3.3V microprocessor system?
No, the MAX695C/D is designed for 5V systems: its reset threshold is fixed at 4.65V, VCC operating range is 4.75V–5.5V, and all logic thresholds scale to 5V. It cannot reliably supervise 3.3V microprocessors. For 3.3V applications, consider the MAX6361 or MAX6363 families, which offer 3.08V or 3.3V reset thresholds and compatible feature sets - the MAX695C/D is strictly a +5V supervisory solution.
How does the CE gating function work on the MAX695C/D?
The MAX695C/D uses CE IN and CE OUT pins to prevent erroneous writes to CMOS RAM during power instability. When VCC ≥ 4.65V, CE OUT replicates CE IN with ~50ns delay. If VCC falls below 4.65V, CE OUT is forced high regardless of CE IN state - disabling RAM writes. This hardware-enforced lockout ensures data integrity during power-up, brownout, or shutdown, eliminating reliance on software-controlled write protection.
What is the purpose of the BATT ON pin on the MAX695C/D?
The BATT ON pin on the MAX695C/D is an active-low open-drain output that indicates when VOUT is sourced from VBATT. It sinks up to 25mA and is intended to drive the base of an external PNP transistor, enabling high-current backup for RAM or peripherals exceeding the 50mA VOUT limit. BATT ON goes low during battery switchover and high when VCC is active - providing a direct hardware signal for system status monitoring and auxiliary power control.
