Product details
Overview
MAX795SCSA+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin SO microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for +3.0V/+3.3V systems, providing precision reset assertion (2.85V–3.00V threshold), backup-battery switchover (VBATT > VCC supported), and chip-enable gating with ≤7ns propagation delay. It monitors critical power conditions in battery-backed embedded controllers and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX795SCSA+T datasheet, MAX795SCSA+T pinout, MAX795SCSA+T application, or MAX795SCSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed reset threshold range (S-suffix = 2.85V–3.00V), battery-switching behavior, CE gating timing, and direct alternative part comparisons - all validated against Maxim's official documentation.
Technical Context
The MAX795SCSA+T implements a fixed-threshold reset comparator with 10mV typical hysteresis to prevent oscillation during VCC transitions, guaranteeing reset assertion down to VCC = 1V. Its internal p-channel MOSFET switch enables seamless switchover from VCC to VBATT when VCC falls below the battery switch threshold (VSW = 2.69V typ at 25°C).
It integrates a low-propagation-delay CE gating path (7ns max) that disables during reset to protect CMOS RAM, and supports manual reset via MR input with 70µA internal pullup and 200ms timeout. Unlike MAX793/MAX794, it omits watchdog, BATT OK, and LOWLINE outputs - confirming its role as a streamlined, cost-optimized supervisory IC for space-constrained 3V/3.3V applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Range | S-suffix = 2.85V to 3.00V (VCC falling); ensures reliable reset before 3.3V supply drops below system tolerance limit |
| Battery Switch Threshold (VSW) | 2.69V (typ) - defines precise VCC-to-BATT switchover point, enabling use of 3.6V lithium cells in 3.3V systems |
| CE IN-to-CE OUT Propagation Delay | ≤7ns - preserves timing integrity for high-speed µP address/data bus gating during undervoltage events |
| Reset Timeout Period (tRP) | 200ms - guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization after power-up or brownout recovery |
| VCC Supply Current | 35µA (typ at +25°C, VCC = 3.3V) - enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on battery backup mode |
| Operating Temperature Range | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded controller and portable equipment environments |
| Package | 8-pin SO (Small Outline) - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated PCB assembly and space-constrained designs |
Pinout & Package
MAX795SCSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, measuring 4.9mm × 6.0mm × 1.75mm (JEDEC MS-012AC), with gull-wing leads and standard 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Supply Output | Switched output connected to VCC or BATT; powers CMOS RAM during normal/battery-backup modes |
| 2 (VCC) | Main Supply Input | +3.0V/+3.3V primary power rail; reset monitoring and internal logic powered from this pin |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for VCC, BATT, and all digital outputs; required for accurate voltage threshold sensing |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Comparator Input | Monitors external voltage (e.g., +5V rail); asserts PFO low when input falls below 1.24V threshold |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Comparator Output | Open-drain active-low flag signaling power-fail condition or enabling battery freshness seal |
| 6 (MR) | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with 70µA internal pullup; initiates 200ms reset pulse on logic-low assertion |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain output requiring external pullup; guarantees logic-low state for 200ms after VCC rise or MR release |
| 8 (BATT) | Backup-Battery Input | Accepts up to +6.0V (e.g., 3.6V Li-cell); automatically接管 OUT when VCC drops below VSW |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision Fixed Reset Threshold | 2.85V–3.00V range (S-suffix) with ±15mV tolerance - eliminates external resistor divider while meeting 3.3V ±10% supply monitoring requirements |
| Backup-Battery Switchover | VBATT > VCC supported (up to 3.6V) - enables long-term data retention in portable systems without overvoltage risk to VCC rail |
| Chip-Enable Gating | ≤7ns CE IN-to-CE OUT propagation delay - prevents spurious writes to CMOS RAM during power transients without adding timing margin |
| Guaranteed Reset Assertion to VCC = 1V | Valid reset signal maintained even during deep brownout - ensures µP remains held in reset until stable supply resumes |
| Low Quiescent Current | 35µA typical VCC supply current - extends battery life in always-on backup configurations |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX793SCSA+ | 16-pin SO package; includes LOWLINE, BATT OK, and watchdog outputs not present in MAX795SCSA+T | Required where early power-fail warning (NMI) or battery health monitoring is needed alongside reset | Select MAX793SCSA+ only if additional supervision features justify larger footprint and higher BOM cost |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | TI device with 1.8V fixed reset threshold, 360ms timeout, and no battery switchover or CE gating | Applicable only for pure reset supervision in 1.8V systems; lacks backup power management capability | Not functionally comparable - avoid for battery-backed 3.3V applications requiring VCC/BATT switchover |
Compared with MAX793SCSA+, MAX795SCSA+T offers identical reset accuracy and battery switching but in a smaller 8-pin SO package with reduced feature set - ideal for cost- and space-sensitive designs where LOWLINE, BATT OK, and watchdog functions are unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage range for MAX795SCSA+T?
The MAX795SCSA+T has an S-suffix designation, specifying a fixed reset threshold range of 2.85V to 3.00V (VCC falling). This is factory-trimmed and does not require external components. The threshold exhibits ±15mV tolerance over temperature and supply variations, ensuring robust operation in 3.3V ±10% systems. MAX795SCSA+T maintains guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, independent of battery presence.
Does MAX795SCSA+T support backup-battery switchover, and what is the maximum VBATT voltage?
Yes, MAX795SCSA+T supports automatic backup-battery switchover via its internal p-channel MOSFET. When VCC falls below the battery switch threshold (VSW = 2.69V typ), OUT disconnects from VCC and connects to BATT. VBATT may exceed VCC - the absolute maximum rating is +6.0V, enabling safe use of standard 3.6V lithium coin cells. The switch exhibits low on-resistance (<160Ω at +25°C) to minimize voltage drop under load.
What is the function of the CE IN and CE OUT pins on MAX795SCSA+T?
CE IN and CE OUT implement a transmission-gate-based chip-enable signal gate. During normal operation (RESET inactive), CE IN passes directly to CE OUT with ≤7ns propagation delay. When RESET is asserted, the gate disables, forcing CE OUT high-impedance to prevent spurious writes to CMOS RAM. If CE IN is low at reset assertion, CE OUT remains low for ~10µs to complete the current memory cycle - a critical timing feature confirmed in the MAX795SCSA+T datasheet.
Is the MAX795SCSA+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 family?
No, MAX795SCSA+T is not pin-compatible with MAX793 or MAX794. It uses an 8-pin SO package with dedicated pins for OUT, VCC, GND, PFI, PFO, MR, RESET, and BATT. In contrast, MAX793/MAX794 use 16-pin packages and include additional pins for WDI, WDO, LOWLINE, BATT OK, and RESET IN - functions omitted in MAX795SCSA+T. Pin mapping and functionality differ fundamentally; PCB layout must be designed specifically for the 8-pin MAX795 footprint.
What are the key differences between MAX795SCSA+T and MAX795TCSA+T?
The suffix letter denotes the reset threshold range: 'S' in MAX795SCSA+T specifies 2.85V–3.00V, while 'T' in MAX795TCSA+T specifies 3.00V–3.15V. Both share identical 8-pin SO packaging, CE gating, battery switchover, and operating temperature (0°C to +70°C). The 'C' in both part numbers indicates commercial temperature grade, and '+' denotes lead-free RoHS-compliant packaging. Electrical performance, timing, and pinout are otherwise identical - selection depends solely on required reset voltage alignment with the host system's supply tolerance.
