Product details
Overview
MAX695EJE 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 a 4.65V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, 1.6s/100ms selectable watchdog period, 1.3V PFI comparator, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. Used in automotive controllers and industrial embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and data retention.
For engineers reviewing the MAX695EJE datasheet, MAX695EJE pinout, MAX695EJE application, or MAX695EJE equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, validated pin roles, confirmed operating conditions (–40°C to +85°C), real-world timing behavior (200ms reset delay, adjustable watchdog), and precise interface requirements for CE gating, battery switchover, and NMI-driven power-fail warning.
Technical Context
The MAX695EJE integrates five core supervisory functions: a precision 4.65V ±150mV reset comparator with 50ms/200ms programmable delay; an internal oscillator-based watchdog timer supporting 100ms or 1.6s timeout (selectable via OSC SEL/OSC IN); bidirectional battery switchover with 70mV turn-on/50mV turn-off thresholds; a 1.3V reference-based power-fail detector (PFI/PFO); and CE IN/CE OUT logic gating that forces CE OUT high during brownout to prevent RAM corruption.
Its 16-pin SOIC package supports full feature set including BATT ON (25mA sink), WDO (watchdog output), LOW LINE (brownout flag), and dual RESET outputs (active-low and active-high). The device uses internal trimming for voltage accuracy and includes hysteresis on all comparators (40mV on reset, 20mV on battery switchover) to prevent chatter during slow supply transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - ensures reliable reset assertion for +5V ±5% supplies before microprocessor malfunction. |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 200ms - holds RESET low long enough for crystal oscillator startup and firmware initialization. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 100ms or 1.6s (selectable) - provides flexible software execution monitoring without requiring external timing components. |
| Battery Switchover Threshold | VCC − VBATT = 70mV (rising), 50mV (falling) - enables clean, hysteresis-stabilized transition between main and backup power. |
| PFI Detection Threshold | 1.3V ±100mV - allows configurable early power-fail warning using external resistor divider on unregulated or regulated rails. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 2–5mA - supports continuous supervision without excessive loading on primary 5V rail. |
| Supply Current (Battery Backup) | 0.6–1µA - extends lithium or coin-cell battery life to years in memory-retention applications. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (E suffix) - qualified for automotive and industrial environments with thermal cycling stress. |
Pinout & Package
MAX695EJE is supplied in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, body size 10.3mm × 7.5mm × 2.65mm, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | +5V main supply input; powers internal circuitry and sources VOUT when higher than VBATT. |
| 2 | VBATT | Backup battery input (2.0V–4.25V); automatically selected by internal switchover when VCC drops. |
| 3 | VOUT | Switched output - delivers higher of VCC or VBATT to RAM; rated for 50mA continuous, 0.1µF bypass required. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 5 | BATT ON | Open-drain output indicating VBATT is active; sinks 25mA to drive external PNP transistor base for >50mA loads. |
| 6 | LOW LINE | Active-low brownout flag - goes low immediately when VCC falls below 4.65V, returns high instantly on recovery. |
| 7 | OSC IN | Oscillator input - accepts external clock (0–250kHz) or capacitor (47pF typical) to adjust watchdog/reset timing. |
| 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; used with external divider for early warning. |
| 10 | PFO | Power-fail output - active-low open-drain signal driving µP NMI interrupt upon PFI < 1.3V. |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input - three-level (low/mid/high); toggling required within timeout period to prevent RESET assertion. |
| 12 | CE IN | Chip-enable gating input - controls CE OUT state; tied to GND or VOUT if unused. |
| 13 | CE OUT | Controlled chip-enable output - follows CE IN only when VCC > 4.65V; forced high during brownout to block writes. |
| 14 | WDO | Watchdog output - active-low flag indicating timeout occurred; resets on next WDI transition. |
| 15 | RESET | Active-low reset output - asserted during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout; 50ms/200ms delay programmable. |
| 16 | RESET | Active-high reset output - complementary to pin 15; eliminates need for external inverter in some µP interfaces. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Reset Timeout | 200ms default (vs. 50ms in 8-pin variants) - accommodates slower clock startups and complex boot sequences. |
| Selectably Programmable Watchdog | 100ms or 1.6s timeout via OSC SEL/OSC IN - enables fine-grained software health checking without external RC networks. |
| Integrated CE Gating Logic | Forces CE OUT high during brownout - prevents erroneous RAM/EEPROM writes even if µP executes spurious code. |
| Low-Battery-Aware Power-Fail Detection | PFO disabled when VCC < VBATT - avoids false warnings during battery-only operation while preserving alert capability on main rail. |
| Ultra-Low Battery Backup Current | ≤1µA at VCC = 0V - enables multi-year operation on CR2032 or BR2032 coin cells in always-on memory backup. |
| Hysteretic Battery Switchover | 20mV hysteresis on switchover comparator - eliminates oscillation during slow VCC ramp-down near VBATT voltage. |

FAQ
What is the reset timeout delay of the MAX695EJE, and how is it configured?
The MAX695EJE has a fixed 200ms reset timeout delay after VCC rises above the 4.65V threshold. Unlike the 8-pin MAX690/MAX692, this delay is not adjustable via external components-it is internally trimmed and guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C. This longer delay ensures robust reset assertion for microprocessors with slow clock startup or complex initialization routines. The MAX695EJE achieves this via internal oscillator configuration and monostable circuitry, eliminating need for external RC networks. All timing is fully specified in the datasheet under Electrical Characteristics.
Does the MAX695EJE support both internal and external watchdog timing sources?
Yes, the MAX695EJE supports dual watchdog timing modes via the OSC SEL and OSC IN pins. When OSC SEL is floating or high, the internal oscillator sets the timeout (100ms or 1.6s, selected by OSC IN logic level). When OSC SEL is low, OSC IN accepts an external clock (0–250kHz) or external capacitor (e.g., 47pF) to precisely tune both watchdog and reset delays per Table 1. This flexibility allows designers to match timing to specific firmware execution profiles without changing PCB layout.
How does the MAX695EJE protect CMOS RAM during brownout conditions?
The MAX695EJE protects CMOS RAM using its CE IN/CE OUT gating function: when VCC drops below 4.65V, CE OUT is forced high regardless of CE IN state, disabling RAM writes. Simultaneously, LOW LINE asserts immediately to flag brownout, and VOUT switches to VBATT to maintain RAM power. This triple-layer protection-write blocking, early warning, and seamless power switchover-prevents data corruption during transient undervoltage events. The CE propagation delay is 50–200ns, ensuring sub-microsecond response.
What is the battery voltage range supported by the MAX695EJE for backup operation?
The MAX695EJE supports VBATT input from 2.0V to 4.25V, compatible with common lithium coin cells (e.g., CR2032, 3V nominal), alkaline batteries, and supercapacitors. Its battery switchover circuit activates when VCC falls 70mV below VBATT (rising edge) or 50mV below (falling edge), with 20mV hysteresis. In backup mode, supply current is ≤1µA at VCC = 0V, enabling multi-year operation. The device also provides a small 10nA charging current to offset battery self-discharge, extending shelf life.
Can the MAX695EJE be used with a 3.3V microprocessor system?
No-the MAX695EJE is designed exclusively for +5V systems. Its reset threshold is fixed at 4.65V, PFI comparator references 1.3V (optimized for 5V-divider scaling), and VOUT switching logic assumes VCC ≥ 4.75V nominal. Using it with 3.3V logic would result in incorrect reset assertion, failed battery switchover, and undefined CE gating behavior. For 3.3V systems, consider the MAX6361 or MAX6363 families, which offer matching functionality with 3.08V/3.3V thresholds and 3.3V-compatible I/O.
