Product details
Overview
MAX795RCSA+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for 3.0V systems, providing fixed reset threshold (2.55V–2.70V), backup-battery switchover with VBATT > VCC support, chip-enable gating (7ns max propagation delay), and guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V. It safeguards CMOS RAM in portable controllers during brownout and power-fail events.
For engineers reviewing the MAX795RCSA+ datasheet, MAX795RCSA+ pinout, MAX795RCSA+ application, or MAX795RCSA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its R-suffix reset threshold range, 8-pin SO package compatibility, battery-switching hysteresis (15mV typical), and absence of watchdog or battery-OK features-distinguishing it from MAX793/MAX794 variants.
Technical Context
The MAX795RCSA+ implements a precision voltage comparator with fixed 2.55V–2.70V reset threshold (VCC falling), battery switchover triggered at VSW = 2.52V (falling) / 2.69V (rising), and on-resistance <160Ω (VCC-to-OUT) across –40°C to +85°C. Its CE IN-to-CE OUT transmission gate operates with 7ns max propagation delay and 46Ω series resistance in enabled mode.
Unlike MAX793/MAX794, MAX795RCSA+ omits manual reset input (MR), watchdog timer, battery-OK output, and low-line warning-reducing pin count to 8 while retaining core supply monitoring, backup switchover, and CE gating for space-constrained 3.0V embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Range | 2.55V to 2.70V (VCC falling); ensures reliable reset before 3.0V supply drops below 2.55V |
| Battery Switch Threshold | 2.52V (VCC falling), 2.69V (VCC rising); enables seamless VCC-to-BATT switchover with 15mV hysteresis |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC = 2.72V to 5.5V, VBATT = –0.3V to +6.0V; supports 3.0V systems with 3.6V lithium backup |
| CE Propagation Delay | ≤7ns (50% point, 50Ω driver, 50pF load); prevents RAM corruption during undervoltage transitions |
| VCC Supply Current | 24µA (typ) at VCC = 3.3V, TA = +25°C; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C; qualified for commercial-grade embedded controller environments |
| Package | 8-pin SO (small outline); 4.9mm × 6.0mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX795RCSA+ uses an 8-pin SO (small outline) package with exposed pad, optimized for thermal performance and board space efficiency in portable equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Supply output for CMOS RAM | Switches between VCC and BATT; connects to VCC when VCC > VRST or > VBATT, else to BATT |
| 2 VCC | Main supply input | Primary system power rail (2.72V–5.5V); powers internal logic and drives CE OUT pullup |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog/digital functions; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Monitors external voltage; pulls PFO low when PFI < 1.212V or VCC < VSW |
| 5 BATT ON | External bypass switch driver | Open-drain output indicating BATT active; drives PMOS/NPN base/gate for >75mA loads |
| 6 PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Active-low flag signaling power failure or enabling battery freshness seal when pulled low |
| 7 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Controls CE gating; high-impedance during reset to prevent spurious RAM writes |
| 8 CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Passes CE IN signal only when reset inactive; 46Ω series resistance in enabled mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed reset threshold | 2.55V–2.70V range (R-suffix) guarantees deterministic reset timing for 3.0V ±10% supplies |
| Battery switchover | VBATT can exceed VCC (e.g., 3.6V Li battery with 3.0V VCC); eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry |
| CE signal gating | 7ns max propagation delay and automatic disable during reset prevent RAM corruption on undervoltage |
| Low quiescent current | 24µA typical VCC supply current extends battery life in always-on backup applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX795SCSA+ | Reset threshold 2.85V–3.00V (S-suffix); higher trip point suitable for 3.3V ±10% systems | Used where tighter VCC tolerance requires earlier reset assertion before 2.85V | Select MAX795SCSA+ for 3.3V designs needing margin above 3.0V nominal; MAX795RCSA+ remains optimal for 3.0V ±10% systems |
| MAX795TCSA+ | Reset threshold 3.00V–3.15V (T-suffix); matches 3.3V ±5% supply tolerance | Deployed in high-reliability 3.3V systems where reset must trigger no later than 3.00V | Choose MAX795TCSA+ when VCC regulation is tighter; MAX795RCSA+ offers best fit for cost-sensitive 3.0V battery applications |
Compared with MAX795SCSA+ and MAX795TCSA+, the MAX795RCSA+ provides the lowest reset threshold (2.55V–2.70V), making it uniquely suited for 3.0V systems with wide input tolerance and extended battery discharge curves-while sharing identical 8-pin SO package, CE gating, and battery switchover architecture.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage range for MAX795RCSA+?
The MAX795RCSA+ has a fixed reset threshold range of 2.55V to 2.70V (VCC falling), corresponding to the 'R' suffix per Maxim's selector guide. This range is guaranteed across temperature (0°C to +70°C) and ensures reset assertion before VCC drops below 2.55V, making it ideal for 3.0V ±10% systems. The MAX795RCSA+ does not support adjustable thresholds like the MAX794.
Does MAX795RCSA+ include a watchdog timer or manual reset input?
No, the MAX795RCSA+ excludes both watchdog timer and manual reset (MR) functionality-differentiating it from MAX793/MAX794 variants. Its 8-pin SO package accommodates only core supervisory functions: fixed reset, battery switchover, CE gating, and power-fail detection. Engineers requiring watchdog capability must select MAX793 or MAX794 instead.
How does MAX795RCSA+ handle backup-battery switchover when VBATT exceeds VCC?
The MAX795RCSA+ supports VBATT > VCC (e.g., 3.6V lithium battery with 3.0V VCC) via internal p-channel MOSFET switching. When VCC falls below the battery switch threshold (2.52V falling / 2.69V rising), OUT disconnects from VCC and connects to BATT. The 15mV typical hysteresis prevents oscillation, and switchover occurs seamlessly without external components.
What is the purpose of the BATT ON pin on MAX795RCSA+?
The BATT ON pin on MAX795RCSA+ is an open-drain output that goes high when OUT switches to BATT, signaling active battery backup. It drives the gate/base of external PMOS/NPN transistors to handle load currents exceeding 75mA-extending the device's current capability beyond its internal 75mA limit while maintaining precise switchover control.
Can MAX795RCSA+ be used in place of MAX793 or MAX794 in existing designs?
MAX795RCSA+ is not a drop-in replacement for MAX793/MAX794 due to missing pins (MR, WDI, WDO, BATT OK, LOWLINE) and omitted features (watchdog, manual reset, battery status). While it shares the same 8-pin SO package and core switchover/CE functions, redesign is required to remove unused signals and verify reset timing alignment with the 2.55V–2.70V threshold.
