Maxim MAX709 Power‑Supply Monitor Datasheet
The MAX709 provides system reset during power‑up, power‑down, and brown‑out conditions. When the supply voltage (Voc) falls below a selectable reset threshold, the RESET output goes low and holds the processor in reset for at least 140 ms after Voc rises above the threshold. The device operates down to 1 V and is immune to short negative‑going transients, making it suitable for low‑component‑count processor systems.
The monitor is offered in 8‑pin DIP, uMAX and SO packages and supports a wide temperature range (‑40 °C to +85 °C). Electrical specifications include ultra‑low supply currents (35 pA to 65 pA) and selectable reset thresholds (2.55 V to 4.65 V). Typical application circuits add a bypass capacitor on the supply pin and optional pull‑down resistors to ensure a valid RESET output at low voltages.
