Product details
Overview
MAX695EWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-pin microprocessor supervisory circuit providing precision reset generation, adjustable watchdog timer, battery backup switchover, power-fail detection, and CE gating for CMOS RAM/EEPROM protection. It features 4.65V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, 1.6s/100ms selectable watchdog, 1.3V PFI comparator, and operates from -40°C to +85°C in SOIC-Wide (Wide SO) package.
For engineers reviewing the MAX695EWE+ datasheet, MAX695EWE+ pinout, MAX695EWE+ application, or MAX695EWE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact timing parameters, validated pin roles, real-world RAM write-protection implementation, and confirmed alternatives for industrial µP monitoring systems requiring extended temperature operation and battery-backed memory integrity.
Technical Context
The MAX695EWE+ integrates five core supervisory functions: a precision 4.65V ±40mV reset voltage detector with 200ms monostable delay; an adjustable watchdog timer supporting internal (100ms/1.6s) or external-clock (up to 250kHz) configuration via OSC SEL/OSC IN; bidirectional battery switchover (VBATT to VOUT) with 70mV rise/50mV fall hysteresis; a 1.3V ±0.1V power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO); and active-high CE OUT with gated logic that forces high during VCC brownout to prevent erroneous RAM writes.
It implements dual reset outputs (active-low RESET and active-high RESET), dedicated WDO for watchdog fault indication, BATT ON for external PNP drive, LOW LINE for instantaneous VCC undervoltage flag, and CE IN/CE OUT for chip-enable signal conditioning - all synchronized to a shared internal timebase derived from either on-chip oscillator or external clock source.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±40mV - ensures reliable reset assertion for +5V ±5% supplies before µP becomes unstable. |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 200ms - holds RESET low long enough for slow-starting crystal oscillators and full µP initialization. |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable 100ms or 1.6s - enables fast fault response or longer software execution windows without false triggers. |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 20mV - prevents chattering during slow VCC decay near VBATT crossover point. |
| PFI Comparator Threshold | 1.3V ±0.1V - allows precise power-fail warning via external resistor divider before VCC drops below reset threshold. |
| Standby Current (Battery Mode) | 1µA max - extends lithium or coin-cell life for multi-year memory backup applications. |
| CE Propagation Delay | 50–200ns - ensures timely disable of RAM write enable during brownout without interfering with normal access timing. |
Pinout & Package
MAX695EWE+ is housed in a 16-pin Wide SOIC (SOIC-W) package, 7.5mm body width, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, rated for -40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | +5V main supply input; powers all internal circuits and enables VOUT switching to VCC when valid. |
| 2 | VBATT | Backup battery input; source for VOUT during VCC loss; supports 2.0V–4.25V batteries. |
| 3 | VOUT | Switched output; automatically connects to higher of VCC or VBATT; supplies up to 50mA to RAM/clock. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 5 | BATT ON | Active-high battery-on indicator; sinks 25mA to drive external PNP transistor base for >50mA loads. |
| 6 | LOW LINE | Active-low immediate VCC undervoltage flag; asserts as soon as VCC falls below 4.65V. |
| 7 | OSC IN | External clock or capacitor input; selects watchdog/reset timing when OSC SEL = low. |
| 8 | OSC SEL | Oscillator select control; floating/high = internal oscillator; low = external clock/capacitor mode. |
| 9 | PFI | Noninverting input to 1.3V comparator; monitors power rail or battery voltage via external divider. |
| 10 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output; drives µP NMI or interrupt line when PFI < 1.3V. |
| 11 | WDI | Three-level watchdog input; toggling required every timeout period; floating disables watchdog. |
| 12 | CE IN | Chip-enable gate input; passes through to CE OUT only when VCC ≥ reset threshold. |
| 13 | CE OUT | Controlled chip-enable output; forced high during brownout to block RAM writes regardless of CE IN. |
| 14 | WDO | Active-low watchdog fault output; stays low until next WDI transition after timeout. |
| 15 | RESET | Active-low reset output; pulses low for 200ms after VCC recovery or watchdog timeout. |
| 16 | RESET | Active-high reset output; inverted complement of pin 15; directly drives µP reset inputs needing high-active signal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Reset & Watchdog Timing | Configurable via OSC SEL/OSC IN to support both fast-recovery (100ms) and robust-software (1.6s) watchdog modes, plus 50ms/200ms reset delays. |
| RAM Write Protection Logic | CE OUT forces high within nanoseconds of VCC dropping below 4.65V, blocking all write cycles to battery-backed CMOS RAM or EEPROM. |
| Low-Power Battery Backup | 1µA max quiescent current in backup mode (VCC = 0V, VBATT = 2.8V) enables >10-year coin-cell lifetime in always-on systems. |
| Dual Reset Outputs | Simultaneous active-low RESET and active-high RESET eliminate need for external inverters in mixed-logic µP designs. |
| Integrated Power-Fail Warning | 1.3V PFI comparator provides early warning (e.g., at 4.8V VCC) via programmable resistor divider, enabling safe data save before reset. |
Applications

FAQ
What is the reset timeout delay of the MAX695EWE+?
The MAX695EWE+ has a fixed 200ms reset timeout delay after VCC rises above the 4.65V threshold. This duration is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range and ensures sufficient hold time for slow-starting microprocessor clocks and peripheral initialization sequences before releasing the RESET signal. The 200ms value is specific to the MAX695EWE+ and differs from the 50ms delay used in the MAX690/MAX692 families.
Does the MAX695EWE+ support adjustable watchdog timeout periods?
Yes, the MAX695EWE+ supports two selectable watchdog timeout periods: 100ms and 1.6s. Selection is controlled by the logic level on the OSC IN pin when OSC SEL is left floating or driven high. When OSC IN is low, the watchdog timeout is 100ms; when OSC IN is high or floating, it defaults to 1.6s. This configurability allows tuning for either fast fault detection or tolerance of longer software loops without spurious resets.
How does the MAX695EWE+ protect CMOS RAM during power failure?
The MAX695EWE+ protects CMOS RAM using its CE gating function: CE OUT follows CE IN only when VCC remains above 4.65V; if VCC drops below this threshold, CE OUT is forced high within nanoseconds, disabling RAM write operations regardless of CE IN state. This hardware-enforced write protection prevents data corruption during brownouts, power-up transients, or momentary dips - a feature confirmed in the MAX695EWE+ datasheet and distinct from simpler reset-only supervision.
What is the battery voltage range supported by the MAX695EWE+?
The MAX695EWE+ 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), alkaline AA/AAA packs, and rechargeable Li-ion/Li-poly cells in series configurations. Operation outside this range may cause improper switchover behavior or damage; the 2.0V lower limit ensures reliable CMOS RAM retention even as the battery discharges.
Can the MAX695EWE+ be used with a 3.3V microprocessor system?
No, the MAX695EWE+ is not designed for direct use with 3.3V systems. Its reset threshold is fixed at 4.65V, and it requires a minimum VCC of 4.75V to operate correctly. For 3.3V µP supervision, Maxim offers the MAX6326/MAX6328 series with 3.08V thresholds. Using MAX695EWE+ on a 3.3V rail would result in continuous reset assertion and failure to enable VOUT or other functions.
