Product details
Overview
The MAX695CWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-pin microprocessor supervisory circuit providing reset generation, adjustable watchdog timer, battery backup switchover, power-fail detection, and CE gating for CMOS RAM/EEPROM protection. It features a 4.65V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, 1.6s/100ms selectable watchdog period, 1.3V PFI comparator, and operates from 4.75V to 5.5V VCC with 2.0V–4.25V VBATT support. It is used in industrial controllers and intelligent instruments requiring reliable power monitoring and data integrity during brownouts.
For engineers reviewing the MAX695CWE+ datasheet, MAX695CWE+ pinout, MAX695CWE+ application, or MAX695CWE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin SOIC-W package, active-low RESET with 200ms delay, dual-mode watchdog (internal oscillator or external clock), BATT ON and LOW LINE status outputs, and integrated CE OUT write-protection logic - all critical for embedded systems with battery-backed memory.
Technical Context
The MAX695CWE+ implements a precision voltage monitor with 4.65V ±150mV reset threshold and 40mV hysteresis, ensuring stable reset assertion during VCC transients. Its internal oscillator supports two watchdog timeout modes (100ms short, 1.6s long), configurable via OSC SEL and OSC IN pins, and resets on every WDI transition - not level - enabling robust software execution verification.
It integrates a bidirectional battery switchover circuit with 70mV power-up / 50mV power-down threshold and 20mV hysteresis, delivering VOUT from either VCC or VBATT. The CE gating function forces CE OUT high when VCC drops below 4.65V, independently of CE IN, preventing erroneous writes to CMOS RAM during undervoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V (min 4.5V, max 4.75V); ensures compatibility with +5V ±5% supplies and prevents premature reset release. |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 200ms (typical); holds RESET low long enough for microprocessor clock stabilization after power-up. |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable 100ms or 1.6s; enables flexible firmware supervision without external timing components. |
| Battery Switchover Threshold | VCC − VBATT = 70mV (power-up), 50mV (power-down); prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay near battery voltage. |
| PFI Comparator Threshold | 1.3V (min 1.2V, max 1.4V); allows precise early power-fail warning before VCC reaches reset threshold. |
| Supply Current (Battery Mode) | 1µA max at VCC = 0V, VBATT = 2.8V; extends lithium or coin-cell backup battery life for years. |
| CE Propagation Delay | 50ns to 200ns; ensures fast, deterministic write-protection activation during VCC collapse. |
Pinout & Package
MAX695CWE+ is housed in a 16-pin Wide SOIC (SOIC-W) package with 0.3-inch body width and standard 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | +5V main supply input; monitored for reset generation and CE gating enable. |
| 2 | VBATT | Backup battery input; powers VOUT when VCC falls below switchover threshold. |
| 3 | VOUT | Switched output; delivers higher of VCC or VBATT to CMOS RAM; rated for 50mA. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance. |
| 5 | BATT ON | Active-high indicator; signals VBATT is active; sinks 25mA to drive external PNP transistor base. |
| 6 | LOW LINE | Active-low VCC monitor; goes low immediately when VCC < 4.65V; no delay. |
| 7 | OSC IN | Oscillator input; accepts external clock (0–250kHz) or capacitor for timing adjustment. |
| 8 | OSC SEL | Oscillator select; floating/high enables internal oscillator; low enables external clock/capacitor mode. |
| 9 | PFI | Power-fail input; noninverting comparator input referenced to 1.3V internal bandgap. |
| 10 | PFO | Power-fail output; active-low open-drain signal for NMI or alarm generation. |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input; three-level (low/mid/high); reset triggered by lack of edge transitions. |
| 12 | CE IN | Chip-enable gate input; buffered to CE OUT unless VCC drops below reset threshold. |
| 13 | CE OUT | Chip-enable gate output; forced high during undervoltage to block RAM writes. |
| 14 | WDO | Watchdog output; active-low; remains low until next WDI transition after timeout. |
| 15 | RESET | Active-low reset output; 200ms pulse width; drives µP reset line directly. |
| 16 | RESET | Active-high reset output; inverted complement of pin 15; for logic-level compatibility. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX695CPE+ | Same electrical specs, but in 16-pin PDIP package (0.3-inch width); higher thermal resistance and larger footprint. | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole assembly; not recommended for space-constrained PCBs. | Select MAX695CWE+ for surface-mount production; choose MAX695CPE+ only if DIP socketing or manual soldering is required. |
| MAX695EWE+ | Extended temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) vs. MAX695CWE+ (0°C to +70°C); identical pinout and functionality. | Required for automotive under-hood or industrial outdoor deployments where ambient exceeds 70°C. | Use MAX695EWE+ when operating temperature exceeds 70°C; otherwise MAX695CWE+ meets commercial-grade requirements. |
Compared with MAX695CWE+, MAX695CPE+ offers identical supervision features in a through-hole package but sacrifices board density and thermal performance, while MAX695EWE+ adds extended temperature capability without trade-offs in size or cost - making it the preferred upgrade path for harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the reset timeout delay of the MAX695CWE+?
The MAX695CWE+ has a fixed reset timeout delay of 200ms after VCC rises above the 4.65V threshold. This delay is internally generated and does not require external components. It ensures the microprocessor's clock oscillator has fully stabilized before releasing the RESET signal. The 200ms value is specific to the MAX695CWE+ variant and differs from the 50ms delay of the 8-pin MAX690 series. This timing is guaranteed over the full 0°C to +70°C operating range.
Does the MAX695CWE+ support adjustable watchdog timeout periods?
Yes, the MAX695CWE+ supports two selectable watchdog timeout periods: 100ms and 1.6s. Selection is controlled by the logic state of the OSC SEL and OSC IN pins per Table 1 in the datasheet. When OSC SEL is floating and OSC IN is low, the 100ms timeout is active; when both are floating, the 1.6s timeout applies. The MAX695CWE+ does not support continuous adjustment - only these two discrete modes - and requires no external timing components.
How does the CE OUT pin of the MAX695CWE+ protect CMOS RAM during power failure?
The CE OUT pin of the MAX695CWE+ is designed to force a high logic level whenever VCC drops below the 4.65V reset threshold - regardless of the state of CE IN. This action disables the chip-enable input of connected CMOS RAM or EEPROM, preventing any write operations during undervoltage conditions. The propagation delay is specified at 50ns to 200ns, ensuring rapid response to VCC collapse. This hardware-enforced write protection eliminates reliance on firmware or external logic, making it ideal for fail-safe data retention.
What is the battery voltage range supported by the MAX695CWE+?
The MAX695CWE+ supports a backup battery voltage range of 2.0V to 4.25V on the VBATT pin. This range accommodates common lithium coin cells (e.g., CR2032, 3.0V nominal) and rechargeable Li-ion/Li-poly cells (up to 4.2V). The device includes built-in battery charging current compensation (~10nA typical) that offsets self-discharge, extending shelf life. Operation outside this range - such as with 1.5V alkaline cells - is not supported and may cause improper switchover or reset behavior.
Can the MAX695CWE+ be used with a 3.3V microprocessor system?
No, the MAX695CWE+ is not designed for direct use with 3.3V microprocessor systems. Its reset threshold is fixed at 4.65V, and it requires a VCC supply of 4.75V to 5.5V. The internal comparators, CE gating logic, and VOUT switching circuitry are all optimized for 5V operation. Using it with a 3.3V VCC would prevent proper reset assertion and disable CE OUT functionality. For 3.3V systems, consider the MAX6361 or MAX6363 families, which offer 3.08V or 3.3V reset thresholds and compatible supervision features.
