Maxim MAX690A/MAX692A/MAX802L/MAX802M/MAX805L Datasheet
The MAX690A, MAX692A, MAX802L, MAX802M and MAX805L are microprocessor supervisory circuits that provide reset, battery‑backup switching, watchdog timer and power‑fail detection functions. They are offered in 8‑pin DIP and SO packages and are pin‑compatible with earlier Maxim parts.
Key features include precise voltage monitoring (4.65 V or 4.40 V thresholds), a 200 ms reset pulse, a 1.6 s watchdog timeout, and ultra‑low quiescent current in battery‑backup mode. The document provides electrical characteristics, typical operating circuits, pin descriptions, and guidance for using backup power sources such as SuperCaps.
