Product details
Overview
MAX795TESA+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin SO microprocessor supervisory circuit for +3.0V/+3.3V systems, providing precision reset assertion (3.00V–3.15V threshold), backup-battery switchover (VBATT > VCC supported), on-board chip-enable gating (7ns max propagation delay), and guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V. It is used in battery-backed embedded controllers to maintain CMOS RAM integrity during brownouts.
For engineers reviewing the MAX795TESA+ datasheet, MAX795TESA+ pinout, MAX795TESA+ application, or MAX795TESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.0V–3.15V reset threshold, battery-switching capability with VBATT up to 3.6V, low 46µA typical VCC supply current, and integrated CE signal gating for RAM write protection.
Technical Context
The MAX795TESA+ implements a precision voltage comparator with 10mV typical hysteresis to prevent oscillation during VCC transitions, and asserts active-low RESET for ≥200ms after VCC rises above the 3.00V–3.15V threshold. Its internal p-channel MOSFET switch enables seamless switchover from VCC to BATT when VCC falls below the 2.55V–2.70V battery switch threshold (VSW), with <15mV hysteresis.
Unlike the MAX793/MAX794, the MAX795 lacks watchdog timer, LOWLINE comparator, BATT OK output, and manual reset input - confirming its role as a streamlined, cost-optimized supervisory IC focused solely on reset generation and battery-backed power routing for space-constrained 8-pin applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.00V–3.15V (VCC falling); ensures reliable reset before 3.3V system drops below 3.0V under ±5% tolerance |
| Battery Switch Threshold | 2.55V–2.70V (VCC falling); triggers switchover to backup battery before RAM corruption occurs |
| VCC Supply Current | 46µA typical (VCC = 3.3V); enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on battery backup mode |
| Output Drive Capability | 200mA sink/source on RESET; supports direct interface to most µP reset inputs without external buffer |
| Operating Voltage Range | VCC = 2.72V–5.5V; compatible with 3.0V/3.3V systems and legacy 5V logic interfaces |
| Package | 8-pin SO (SOIC); 150mil width, JEDEC MS-012AC, footprint-compatible with industry-standard 8-pin SO placements |
| Temperature Range | 0°C to +70°C; qualified for commercial-grade embedded controller applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX795TESA+ uses an 8-pin SO (SOIC) package with 150mil body width and standard 1.27mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pin numbering follows counterclockwise convention from pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Supply output for CMOS RAM | Switched between VCC and BATT via internal p-MOSFET; connects to RAM VDD to maintain data during main supply loss |
| 2 VCC | Main supply input | Primary 3.0V/3.3V system rail; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog comparators, digital logic, and output drivers |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Monitors external voltage (e.g., 5V rail); pulls PFO low when input falls below 1.212V–1.287V threshold |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Open-drain active-low flag signaling early power failure; used to trigger NMI or initiate graceful shutdown |
| 6 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Accepts µP CE signal; gated internally during reset to prevent spurious RAM writes |
| 7 CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Pass-through of CE IN during normal operation; held low for 10µs after reset assertion to complete write cycle |
| 8 BATT | Backup-battery input | Accepts 3.6V lithium cell; voltage may exceed VCC; isolated from circuit until VCC drops below VSW |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed reset trip voltage | 3.00V–3.15V range ensures compatibility with 3.3V ±5% systems without external resistor network |
| Battery voltage > VCC support | Enables use of standard 3.6V lithium coin cells in 3.0V/3.3V systems without level-shifting or diode drop penalties |
| Guaranteed reset to VCC = 1V | Ensures µP remains held in reset even during deep brownout, preventing undefined execution states |
| On-board CE gating with 7ns delay | Prevents corrupted RAM writes during undervoltage by blocking CE signals within 7ns of reset assertion |
| Low 46µA VCC supply current | Minimizes standby power draw in battery-backed systems, extending shelf life and operational runtime |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX793TESA+ | 16-pin SO package; includes manual reset (MR), watchdog (WDI/WDO), LOWLINE comparator, and BATT OK output | Supports complex supervision with fault logging and early warning; requires larger PCB area and additional external components | Select when watchdog monitoring, manual reset, or battery health indication is required beyond basic reset and switchover |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-channel 3.3V supervisor; no battery switchover, no PFI/PFO, no CE gating; 2% reset threshold accuracy vs. MAX795's ±2.5% | Suitable only for simple reset-only applications; cannot replace MAX795 in battery-backed RAM systems | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-battery-backed 3.3V systems where CE gating and power-fail warning are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX793TESA+, MAX795TESA+ trades watchdog, manual reset, and battery status features for smaller size and lower cost - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-switchover–focused designs. Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, MAX795TESA+ provides essential battery management and CE protection missing in basic supervisors.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage range for MAX795TESA+?
The MAX795TESA+ has a fixed reset threshold range of 3.00V to 3.15V (VCC falling). This is specified for systems operating at 3.3V ±5%, ensuring reset is asserted before the supply drops below 3.0V while avoiding false triggers during nominal operation. The threshold is factory-trimmed and does not require external resistors - a key differentiator from the adjustable MAX794.
Does MAX795TESA+ support backup-battery switchover with VBATT > VCC?
Yes, MAX795TESA+ fully supports backup-battery switchover with VBATT exceeding VCC - up to 3.6V - enabling direct use of standard lithium coin cells in 3.0V/3.3V systems. When VCC falls below the 2.55V–2.70V battery switch threshold (VSW), the internal p-channel MOSFET automatically connects BATT to OUT, maintaining power to CMOS RAM without diode voltage drop or external FETs.
What is the function of the CE IN and CE OUT pins on MAX795TESA+?
The CE IN and CE OUT pins implement on-board chip-enable signal gating: CE IN accepts the µP's chip-enable signal, and CE OUT delivers a conditioned version to external memory. During reset assertion, CE OUT is disabled for 10µs to complete any ongoing RAM write, then held inactive - preventing corrupted writes during undervoltage. Propagation delay is ≤7ns, supporting high-speed µPs without timing penalty.
Can MAX795TESA+ be used without a backup battery?
Yes, MAX795TESA+ operates correctly without a backup battery. Connect BATT to VCC (or leave floating if unused per datasheet guidance), and the internal switch routes OUT directly from VCC. All supervision functions - including reset generation, PFI/PFO monitoring, and CE gating - remain fully functional. The device draws only 46µA typical supply current, making it suitable for non-battery applications where low quiescent power is valued.
What is the maximum load current supported on the OUT pin of MAX795TESA+?
The OUT pin of MAX795TESA+ supports up to 200mA continuous output current when sourced from VCC, and up to 250µA when sourced from BATT (with typical on-resistance of 12Ω at 25°C). This allows direct powering of small CMOS RAM devices or low-power real-time clocks. For loads exceeding 250µA in battery-backup mode, an external PMOS transistor driven by BATT ON (not present on MAX795) is required - confirming MAX795's design focus on moderate-current, space-optimized applications.
