3.0V/3.3V Adjustable Microprocessor
Supervisory Circuits
General Description
The MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits monitor and control the activities of
+3.0V/+3.3V µPs by providing backup-battery switchover,
among other features such as low-line indication, µP
reset, write protection for CMOS RAM, and a watchdog
(see the
Selector Guide
below). The backup-battery volt-
age can exceed V
CC
, permitting the use of 3.6V lithium
batteries in systems using 3.0V to 3.3V for V
CC
.
The MAX793/MAX795 offer a choice of reset threshold
voltage range (denoted by suffix letter): 3.00V to 3.15V
(T), 2.85V to 3.00V (S), and 2.55V to 2.70V (R). The
MAX794’s reset threshold is set externally with a resistor
divider. The MAX793/MAX794 are available in 16-pin
DIP and narrow SO packages, and the MAX795 comes
in 8-pin DIP and SO packages.

*The
MAX793/MAX795 offer a choice of reset threshold voltage.
Select the letter corresponding to the desired reset threshold
voltage range (T = 3.00V to 3.15V, S = 2.85V to 3.00V, R =
2.55V to 2.70V) and insert it into the blank to complete the part
number. The MAX794’s reset threshold is adjustable.
Devices are available in both leaded and lead-free packaging.
Specify lead free by adding the + symbol at the end of the part
number when ordering.

min.
Note 2:
Tested at V
BATT
= 3.6V, V
CC
= 3.5V and 0V. The battery current rises to 10µA over a narrow transition window around V
CC
= 1.9V.
Note 3:
Leakage current into the battery is tested under the worst-case conditions at V
CC
= 5.5V, V
BATT
= 1.8V and V
CC
= 1.5V,
V
BATT
= 1.0V.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by design.
Note 5:
When V
SW
> V
CC
> V
BATT
, OUT remains connected to V
CC
until V
CC
drops below V
BATT
. The V
CC
-to-V
BATT
comparator
has a small 15mV typical hysteresis to prevent oscillation. For V
CC
< 1.75V (typical), OUT switches to BATT regardless of
V
BATT
.
Note 6:
When V
BATT
> V
CC
> V
SW
, OUT remains connected to V
CC
until V
CC
drops below the battery switch threshold (V
SW
).
Note 7:
OUT switches from BATT to V
CC
when V
CC
rises above the reset threshold, if V
BATT
> V
RST
. In this case, switchover back
to V
CC
occurs at the exact voltage that causes reset to be asserted, however, switchover occurs 200ms prior to reset. If
V
BATT
< V
RST
, OUT switches from BATT to V
CC
when V
CC
exceeds V
BATT
.
Note 8:
The reset threshold tolerance is wider for V
CC
rising than for V
CC
falling to accommodate the 10mV typical hysteresis,
which prevents internal oscillation.
Note 9:
The leakage current into or out of the RESET pin is tested with RESET not asserted (RESET output high impedance).
Note 10:
PFO
is normally an output, but is used as an input when activating the battery freshness seal.
