Product details
Overview
MAX795RESA+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin SO microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for 3.0V systems, providing fixed reset threshold (2.55V–2.70V), backup-battery switchover with VBATT > VCC support, on-board CE signal gating (7ns max propagation delay), and guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V. It safeguards CMOS RAM in battery-backed embedded controllers during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the MAX795RESA+ datasheet, MAX795RESA+ pinout, MAX795RESA+ application, or MAX795RESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its R-suffix reset threshold range (2.55V–2.70V), 8-pin SO package compatibility, battery-switching behavior at VSW = 2.52V (VCC falling), and absence of watchdog timer - distinguishing it from MAX793/MAX794 variants.
Technical Context
The MAX795RESA+ implements a precision voltage-monitoring comparator with 10mV typical hysteresis to prevent oscillation during VCC transitions near the reset threshold. Its internal p-channel MOSFET switch enables seamless switchover from VCC to BATT when VCC falls below VSW = 2.52V (VCC falling) or 2.69V (VCC rising), with 15mV hysteresis between switch thresholds.
It integrates chip-enable gating logic that disables CE IN-to-CE OUT path during reset assertion, preserving RAM integrity; CE OUT is pulled up to OUT and exhibits ≤7ns propagation delay in normal mode. Unlike MAX793/MAX794, it omits watchdog, BATT OK, LOWLINE, and manual reset functions - confirmed by pin count reduction and functional selector guide.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Range | 2.55V to 2.70V (R-suffix); ensures reliable reset before 3.0V supply drops below 2.55V under worst-case tolerance. |
| Battery Switch Threshold (VCC falling) | 2.52V; triggers automatic switchover to backup battery before reset assertion begins. |
| VCC Supply Current | 24µA to 35µA (TA = −40°C to +85°C); ultra-low quiescent current preserves battery life in portable equipment. |
| CE IN-to-CE OUT Propagation Delay | ≤7ns; enables use with high-speed µPs without compromising memory write timing. |
| Operating Voltage Range (VCC) | 2.72V to 5.5V; supports 3.0V nominal systems with ±10% tolerance and 5V auxiliary rails. |
| Package | 8-pin SO (Small Outline); 150mil width, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles. |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C (E-grade); qualified for industrial and automotive-adjacent embedded applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX795RESA+ uses an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with 150mil body width and standard 0.050" lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked with a dot or beveled edge; pins are numbered counter-clockwise from pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Supply output for CMOS RAM | Switches between VCC and BATT via internal p-MOSFET; connects to VCC when VCC > VRST or > VBATT, else to BATT. |
| 2 VCC | Main supply input | Primary power rail; monitored for reset generation and used as reference for all outputs except BATT-related signals. |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for VCC, BATT, and all I/O; must be low-impedance to ensure accurate voltage monitoring. |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Accepts external voltage divider for early warning; unused must be tied to VCC to disable comparator function. |
| 5 BATT ON | External bypass switch driver output | Open-drain logic-high when OUT is connected to BATT; drives gate/base of external PMOS/PNP for >75mA load capability. |
| 6 PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Active-low open-drain output; goes low when PFI < VPFT (1.212V) or VCC < VSW, used for battery freshness seal enable. |
| 7 RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain, asserted low for ≥200ms after VCC rises above VRST; requires external pullup to VCC (4.7kΩ–1MΩ). |
| 8 BATT | Backup-battery input | Accepts 3.6V lithium cells; VBATT may exceed VCC; internally disconnected until VCC exceeds VSW during power-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision reset threshold | Fixed 2.55V–2.70V range (R-suffix) with 10mV hysteresis ensures stable reset release without chatter during brownout recovery. |
| Backup-battery switchover | VBATT > VCC supported (e.g., 3.6V Li battery with 3.0V system); automatic transition at VSW = 2.52V (VCC falling) prevents RAM data loss. |
| Chip-enable gating | 7ns max CE IN-to-CE OUT propagation delay preserves µP–RAM timing integrity during undervoltage events. |
| Guaranteed reset down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion even during deep brownout, critical for fail-safe operation in industrial controllers. |
| Low-power operation | 24–35µA VCC supply current over full temperature range extends battery life in portable and remote equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX795TESA+ | Reset threshold 3.00V–3.15V (T-suffix); higher trip point suits 3.3V ±5% systems. | Used where main supply is 3.3V with tight regulation; not suitable for 3.0V nominal rails with ±10% tolerance. | Select MAX795TESA+ only if system VCC nominal is 3.3V and minimum operating voltage remains ≥3.00V. |
| MAX795SESA+ | Reset threshold 2.85V–3.00V (S-suffix); intermediate trip point for 3.3V ±10% supplies. | Applicable in mixed-voltage systems where 3.0V and 3.3V rails coexist and reset coordination is required. | Choose MAX795SESA+ when VCC may dip to 2.85V during transients but must remain above 2.85V for valid operation. |
Compared with MAX795RESA+, the T- and S-suffix variants shift the reset threshold upward by 300mV and 150mV respectively, altering brownout response timing and requiring revalidation of system-level undervoltage margins - making R-suffix optimal for strict 3.0V ±10% designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage range for MAX795RESA+?
The MAX795RESA+ has a fixed reset threshold range of 2.55V to 2.70V (R-suffix), specified for VCC falling. This range ensures reset assertion before a 3.0V ±10% supply drops below 2.55V, and release after VCC rises above 2.70V. The hysteresis is 10mV typical, preventing oscillation near the trip point. These values are production-tested and guaranteed across −40°C to +85°C.
Does MAX795RESA+ include a watchdog timer?
No, MAX795RESA+ does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the MAX793/MAX794 variants, the MAX795 family omits WDI, WDO, and associated timing circuitry - confirmed by its 8-pin SO package (vs. 16-pin for MAX793/MAX794) and explicit exclusion in the Selector Guide. This simplifies design for applications requiring only voltage monitoring and battery switchover.
How does the battery switchover work on MAX795RESA+?
MAX795RESA+ uses an internal p-channel MOSFET to switch the OUT pin between VCC and BATT. When VCC falls below VSW = 2.52V (VCC falling), OUT disconnects from VCC and connects to BATT within microseconds. Switchover back to VCC occurs when VCC rises above 2.69V (VCC rising), with 15mV hysteresis to prevent chattering. VBATT may exceed VCC (e.g., 3.6V Li battery with 3.0V system).
What is the purpose of the BATT ON pin on MAX795RESA+?
The BATT ON pin on MAX795RESA+ is an open-drain output that goes high when OUT is connected to BATT. It is designed to drive the gate/base of an external PMOS or PNP transistor, enabling higher current (>75mA) battery backup paths beyond the internal switch's capability. During normal operation (OUT connected to VCC), BATT ON remains low, providing clear status indication for external power-path control logic.
Can MAX795RESA+ be used with a 3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX795RESA+ supports VCC from 2.72V to 5.5V, so it operates with 3.3V supplies. However, its R-suffix reset threshold (2.55V–2.70V) is optimized for 3.0V ±10% systems - using it with 3.3V may result in premature reset assertion during normal operation. For 3.3V systems, MAX795TESA+ (3.00V–3.15V) or MAX795SESA+ (2.85V–3.00V) are more appropriate alternatives.
