Product details
Overview
MAX795SESA+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin SO microprocessor supervisory circuit for +3.0V/+3.3V systems, providing precision reset assertion (2.85V–3.00V threshold), backup-battery switchover (VBATT > VCC supported), chip-enable gating with ≤7ns propagation delay, and guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V. It is used in portable controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring during brownout or battery-backup transitions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX795SESA+T datasheet, MAX795SESA+T pinout, MAX795SESA+T application, or MAX795SESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed S-suffix reset threshold (2.85V–3.00V), battery-switching capability with VSW = 2.41V (VCC falling), CE IN-to-CE OUT propagation delay ≤7ns, and operation over 0°C to +70°C in narrow SO package.
Technical Context
The MAX795SESA+T 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 between VCC and VBATT when VCC falls below VSW (2.41V typ, VCC falling) or rises above VRST (2.85V min).
It integrates a low-latency CE signal gating path with <7ns propagation delay and supports manual reset via MR input with 70µA internal pullup and 200ms timeout. Unlike the MAX793/MAX794, it omits watchdog timer, BATT OK output, and PFI comparator - 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 | 2.85V to 3.00V (S-suffix); ensures reset assertion before 3.3V supply drops below system-safe margin |
| Battery Switch Threshold (VCC falling) | 2.41V typical; triggers switchover to backup battery before VCC reaches reset level |
| CE IN-to-CE OUT Propagation Delay | ≤7ns max; preserves timing integrity of memory access signals during undervoltage events |
| Operating Temperature Range | 0°C to +70°C; suitable for commercial-grade embedded controllers and portable equipment |
| VCC Supply Current | 46µA typical (VCC = 3.3V); enables low-quiescent-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms minimum; guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power recovery |
| Package | 8-pin narrow SO; 3.9mm × 4.9mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX795SESA+T is housed in an 8-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package with 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+T suffix).
| 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 | +3.0V/+3.3V primary power rail; monitored for reset generation and CE gating control |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; required for accurate voltage monitoring |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Comparator Input | Unused in MAX795; must be tied to VCC per datasheet to disable comparator function |
| 5 BATT ON | Battery-Switch Status Output | Active-high logic signal indicating current source is BATT; drives external PMOS gate for >75mA loads |
| 6 CE IN | Chip-Enable Input | Accepts system CE signal; gated internally during reset to prevent RAM corruption |
| 7 CE OUT | Chip-Enable Output | Pass-through or disabled CE signal; ≤7ns delay ensures synchronous memory interface timing |
| 8 MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with 70µA internal pullup; initiates 200ms reset pulse on logic-low assertion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed Reset Threshold (S-suffix) | 2.85V–3.00V range optimized for 3.3V ±10% supplies; eliminates external resistor divider complexity |
| Backup-Battery Switchover | Supports VBATT up to 6.0V exceeding VCC; enables use of standard 3.6V lithium coin cells without level-shifting |
| Chip-Enable Gating | Sub-7ns CE IN-to-CE OUT propagation ensures compatibility with fast microprocessors and avoids memory write errors |
| Guaranteed Reset to VCC = 1V | Ensures robust reset assertion during deep brownout or slow power-down sequences where VCC decays below 2V |
| Low Quiescent Current | 46µA typical supply current at 3.3V enables multi-year 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX793SESA+ | 16-pin SO; includes watchdog timer, PFI comparator, BATT OK output, and LOWLINE warning - not present in MAX795SESA+T | Suitable for systems requiring early power-fail warning (LOWLINE) and autonomous watchdog reset; adds 8 pins and higher BOM cost | Select MAX793SESA+ only if watchdog or dual-voltage monitoring is required; otherwise MAX795SESA+T offers smaller footprint and lower cost |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3V fixed reset threshold (3.08V), 350ms timeout, no battery switchover or CE gating; SOT-23-6 package | Applicable where only basic reset supervision is needed; lacks backup power management and memory protection features | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for ultra-compact, low-cost reset-only applications; avoid when battery backup or CE gating is mandatory |
Compared with MAX793SESA+, MAX795SESA+T reduces pin count and feature set to optimize size and cost for dedicated battery-switchover applications; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers integrated power-path control and memory interface protection unavailable in basic reset ICs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage range for MAX795SESA+T?
The MAX795SESA+T has an S-suffix reset threshold of 2.85V to 3.00V (VCC falling), with typical trip point at 2.925V. This range is factory-trimmed and guaranteed across 0°C to +70°C. The threshold is fixed and does not require external resistors - unlike the adjustable MAX794 - making MAX795SESA+T ideal for deterministic 3.3V ±10% supply monitoring.
Does MAX795SESA+T support backup battery voltage higher than VCC?
Yes, MAX795SESA+T explicitly supports VBATT > VCC, up to +6.0V absolute maximum. Its internal p-channel MOSFET switch allows direct connection of 3.6V lithium batteries to the BATT pin while VCC operates at 3.0V or 3.3V. The battery switchover occurs at VSW = 2.41V (typ, VCC falling), ensuring uninterrupted RAM power before reset assertion.
What is the function of the BATT ON pin on MAX795SESA+T?
The BATT ON pin on MAX795SESA+T is an active-high logic output that goes high when the internal switch connects OUT to the BATT supply (i.e., during battery-backup mode). It is designed to drive the gate of an external PMOS transistor, enabling >75mA backup current delivery beyond the IC's internal switch capability - a critical feature for powering larger RAM arrays or real-time clocks.
Can MAX795SESA+T be used without a backup battery?
Yes, MAX795SESA+T operates fully without a backup battery. Per the datasheet, connecting VCC, OUT, and BATT together disables battery switchover functionality while retaining all other features - including reset generation, CE gating, and MR input. In this configuration, OUT remains tied to VCC, and BATT ON stays low, simplifying design for non-battery applications.
What is the maximum capacitive load supported on CE OUT of MAX795SESA+T?
The CE OUT pin of MAX795SESA+T is characterized with a 50pF load capacitance during propagation delay testing. While not explicitly rated for higher loads, design guidelines recommend keeping total CE OUT load ≤50pF to maintain ≤7ns propagation delay and avoid timing violations in high-speed microprocessor interfaces. For heavier loads, buffer amplification is advised.
