Product details
Overview
MAX795TESA+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin SO microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for +3.0V/+3.3V systems, providing precision reset assertion (3.00V–3.15V threshold), backup-battery switchover (VBATT > VCC supported), and chip-enable gating with ≤7ns propagation delay. It monitors critical power conditions in battery-backed CMOS RAM systems and asserts reset down to VCC = 1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX795TESA+T datasheet, MAX795TESA+T pinout, MAX795TESA+T application, or MAX795TESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset assertion at low VCC, battery-switching hysteresis, CE gating timing integrity, and compatibility with lithium backup batteries up to 3.6V.
Technical Context
The MAX795TESA+T implements a fixed-threshold reset comparator with 10mV typical hysteresis to prevent oscillation during VCC transitions, and integrates a bidirectional p-channel MOSFET switch for seamless VCC-to-battery switchover when VCC falls below VSW (2.55V–2.68V). Its CE IN-to-CE OUT transmission gate operates with <7ns propagation delay and maintains high-impedance isolation during reset assertion.
Unlike the MAX794, it lacks adjustable reset threshold and watchdog functionality; unlike the MAX793, it omits BATT OK output and battery freshness seal. Its 8-pin SO package supports compact placement in space-constrained portable controllers requiring stable supply monitoring and RAM write protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.00V–3.15V (VCC falling); ensures reliable reset before 3.3V system brownout exceeds 10% tolerance |
| Battery Switch Threshold | 2.55V–2.68V (VCC falling); enables automatic switchover to 3.6V lithium battery before VCC drops below RAM retention voltage |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140–280ms; guarantees minimum reset pulse width for full µP initialization across temperature |
| CE IN-to-CE OUT Delay | ≤7ns max; preserves timing integrity of chip-enable signals during undervoltage events |
| VCC Supply Current | 24–35µA (VCC = 3.3V); minimizes quiescent load on primary supply in always-on monitoring mode |

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; includes BATT OK output, battery freshness seal, and independent watchdog timer | Required where battery status reporting or watchdog fault detection is needed alongside reset supervision | Select MAX793TESA+ only if BATT OK monitoring or 1.6s watchdog timeout adds value; otherwise MAX795TESA+T offers smaller footprint and lower cost |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part; 3.3V fixed reset threshold (3.08V), 200ms timeout, no battery switchover or CE gating | Suitable for basic reset-only applications without backup power management or RAM protection | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR when battery backup and CE control are unnecessary; MAX795TESA+T is required for integrated switchover and gating |
Compared with MAX793TESA+, MAX795TESA+T reduces pin count and cost by omitting watchdog and BATT OK functions while retaining identical reset accuracy and battery switchover capability; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it uniquely integrates battery switching and CE gating-critical for RAM-backed portable systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage range for MAX795TESA+T?
The MAX795TESA+T has a fixed reset threshold range of 3.00V to 3.15V for VCC falling, specified over temperature and process variation. This range aligns with 3.3V ±5% supply tolerance and ensures reset assertion before system brownout exceeds 10%. The threshold is factory-trimmed and does not require external components.
Does MAX795TESA+T support backup-battery switchover with VBATT > VCC?
Yes, MAX795TESA+T supports backup-battery switchover with VBATT up to 3.6V exceeding VCC. When VCC falls below the battery switch threshold (2.55V–2.68V), OUT automatically connects to BATT. The internal p-channel MOSFET switch ensures seamless transition without external circuitry, preserving CMOS RAM data during main power loss.
What is the function of the BATT ON pin on MAX795TESA+T?
The BATT ON pin on MAX795TESA+T is an active-high open-drain output that signals when OUT is sourced from the backup battery. It drives high during battery-backup mode to enable external PMOS/PMOS drivers for higher-current loads (>75mA), allowing the MAX795TESA+T to manage both logic-level signaling and power-path control in one device.
Can MAX795TESA+T be used without a backup battery?
Yes, MAX795TESA+T can be used without a backup battery. Connect BATT to VCC and leave PFO unconnected or tie to VCC. In this configuration, the device operates as a standard 3.3V supervisory circuit with reset, manual reset, power-fail warning, and CE gating-retaining full functionality except battery switchover and BATT ON signaling.
What is the maximum capacitive load supported on the CE OUT pin of MAX795TESA+T?
The CE OUT pin of MAX795TESA+T is characterized with a 50pF load capacitance during propagation delay testing. For guaranteed ≤7ns delay, minimize capacitive loading-ideally keep total CE OUT node capacitance below 30pF. Higher loads increase delay and may compromise timing margins in high-speed µP interfaces; use series termination or buffer drivers if >50pF is unavoidable.
