Product details
Overview
MAX795RESA+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin SO microprocessor supervisory circuit for 3.0V systems, providing precision reset assertion at 2.55V–2.70V, backup-battery switchover (VBATT > VCC supported), and chip-enable signal gating with ≤7ns propagation delay. It monitors critical µP power rails in portable controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable brownout protection and RAM write protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX795RESA+T datasheet, MAX795RESA+T pinout, MAX795RESA+T application, or MAX795RESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 2.55V–2.70V reset threshold, guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, battery-switching capability with VBATT up to 6.0V, and integrated CE gating for CMOS RAM protection during undervoltage events.
Technical Context
The MAX795RESA+T implements a precision voltage comparator with 10mV typical hysteresis to prevent oscillation during VCC transitions near the reset threshold (2.55V–2.70V). Its internal p-channel MOSFET switch enables seamless switchover from VCC to backup battery when VCC falls below the battery switch threshold (2.52V typ.), with 15mV hysteresis to avoid chatter.
Unlike the MAX793/MAX794, the MAX795RESA+T omits watchdog timer, manual reset input (MR), battery OK output, and low-line warning - confirmed by pin count (8-pin vs. 16-pin) and feature selector guide. It retains only core functions: active-low reset, backup-battery switchover, CE IN/CE OUT gating, and PFO/PFI power-fail monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.55V–2.70V (VCC falling); ensures reset before 3.0V supply drops below 15% tolerance limit |
| Battery Switch Threshold | 2.52V (VCC falling); triggers switchover to backup battery before reset asserts |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC = 2.72V to 5.5V; supports 3.0V nominal systems with wide operating margin |
| CE Propagation Delay | ≤7ns max; preserves timing integrity for high-speed µP address/data bus gating |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms min; guarantees sufficient µP initialization time after power recovery |
| Backup-Battery Voltage | VBATT = −0.3V to +6.0V; permits use of 3.6V lithium cells even with 3.0V VCC |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C (E-grade); qualified for industrial embedded environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX795RESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 150 mil width, RoHS-compliant lead-free (+T suffix), with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Supply Output | Switched output connected to VCC or BATT; powers CMOS RAM during normal/battery modes |
| 2 VCC | Main Supply Input | Primary 3.0V system rail input; monitored for reset and battery switchover decisions |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog comparators, digital logic, and output drivers |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Monitors external voltage for early power-fail warning; drives PFO low when threshold crossed |
| 5 BATT ON | Battery Status Output | Active-high open-drain signal indicating OUT is sourced from BATT (not VCC) |
| 6 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain output asserting low on PFI under-voltage or VCC < VSW; used for NMI or freshness seal |
| 7 CE IN | Chip-Enable Input | Input to CE gating circuit; disables CE OUT during reset to prevent RAM corruption |
| 8 CE OUT | Chip-Enable Output | Gated CE signal passed to RAM; disabled during reset with ≤10µs hold time if CE IN was low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed Reset Threshold | 2.55V–2.70V range optimized for 3.0V ±10% supplies; eliminates external resistor divider complexity |
| Battery Switchover | VBATT may exceed VCC (up to 6.0V); enables use of 3.6V lithium coin cells without level-shifting |
| CE Signal Gating | 7ns max propagation delay and automatic disable during reset; prevents spurious writes to CMOS RAM |
| Guaranteed Reset to 1V | RESET remains asserted down to VCC = 1V (no battery) or VCC = 0V (with battery); ensures robust brownout coverage |
| Low Quiescent Current | 35µA typical VCC supply current at 3.3V; extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX795TESA+T | Reset threshold 3.00V–3.15V; higher trip point for 3.3V systems | Suitable for 3.3V ±5% supplies where tighter reset window is required | Select when system VCC nominal is 3.3V and brownout must occur above 3.0V |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage range for MAX795RESA+T?
The MAX795RESA+T has a fixed reset threshold range of 2.55V to 2.70V for VCC falling, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (VRST parameter). This range is factory-trimmed and does not require external resistors. The threshold exhibits 10mV typical hysteresis to prevent chatter during slow VCC transitions, and reset remains asserted down to VCC = 1V in non-battery mode. This makes MAX795RESA+T suitable for 3.0V ±10% systems where brownout must be detected before supply drops below 2.55V.
Does MAX795RESA+T support backup-battery switchover with VBATT higher than VCC?
Yes, MAX795RESA+T explicitly supports VBATT exceeding VCC, up to +6.0V absolute maximum, as confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings and General Description. The internal p-channel MOSFET switch automatically connects OUT to BATT when VCC falls below the battery switch threshold (2.52V typ.), and reconnects to VCC when VCC rises above the reset threshold (2.55V min). This allows direct use of 3.6V lithium batteries in 3.0V systems without external level-shifting circuitry-verified in Typical Operating Characteristics (TOC1–TOC2) and Pin Description.
What are the key differences between MAX795RESA+T and MAX793/MAX794 variants?
MAX795RESA+T is an 8-pin derivative omitting features present in 16-pin MAX793/MAX794: no watchdog timer (WDO/WDI), no manual reset input (MR), no battery OK output (BATT OK), and no low-line warning (LOWLINE). Its pinout excludes MR, WDI, WDO, LOWLINE, RESET IN, and BATT OK pins. Functionally, it retains only reset generation, battery switchover, CE gating, and PFO/PFI-confirmed by Selector Guide, Pin Configurations, and Applications section listing "Critical µP Power Monitoring" without watchdog or manual reset references.
How does the CE IN-to-CE OUT gating function in MAX795RESA+T during power-down?
In MAX795RESA+T, the CE transmission gate disables automatically when reset is asserted (e.g., during VCC fall below 2.55V). If CE IN is low at reset assertion, CE OUT remains low for ≤10µs to complete the current RAM write cycle before going high-impedance. Propagation delay is ≤7ns in enabled mode, tested with 50Ω driver and 50pF load. This behavior prevents spurious writes during undervoltage, and is validated in Detailed Description section "Chip-Enable Signal Gating" and Figure 8 timing diagram-specific to MAX795's 8-pin implementation.
Is MAX795RESA+T compatible with industrial temperature requirements?
Yes, MAX795RESA+T is rated for −40°C to +85°C operation (E-grade), as stated in Ordering Information and Absolute Maximum Ratings. Its electrical characteristics-including reset threshold, battery switch threshold, supply current, and propagation delay-are guaranteed across this full range, with supporting Typical Operating Characteristics plots (TOC3–TOC7) showing performance stability from −40°C to +100°C. This qualifies MAX795RESA+T for deployment in industrial PLCs, smart meters, and outdoor handheld equipment without derating.
