MAX691
The MAX691 is a microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit designed to monitor the power supply and ensure reliable operation of microprocessor systems. It provides several functions including power-on reset, watchdog timer, battery backup switching, and low-battery detection. The MAX691 ensures that the microprocessor is reset whenever the supply voltage drops below a preset threshold, and it maintains the reset state until the supply voltage stabilizes. Additionally, it includes a watchdog timer to reset the system if it becomes unresponsive and a manual reset input.
