MAX708SESA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended layout and placement for the MAX708SESA?
  The MAX708SESA is a sensitive device and requires careful layout and placement to ensure proper operation. It is recommended to follow the layout guidelines provided in the datasheet, including keeping the device away from noise sources, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing trace lengths and widths.
• How do I handle the reset pin (RST) during power-up and power-down?
  The RST pin should be tied to a pull-up resistor and a capacitor to ensure a clean reset signal during power-up and power-down. The recommended values are a 1kΩ pull-up resistor and a 10nF capacitor.
• What is the maximum clock frequency that the MAX708SESA can handle?
  The MAX708SESA can handle clock frequencies up to 125MHz, but it is recommended to operate at a frequency of 100MHz or less to ensure reliable operation and minimize power consumption.
• How do I configure the watchdog timer (WDT) for optimal performance?
  The WDT should be configured to match the system's requirements. The recommended configuration is to set the WDT timeout period to 1.5 seconds, and to enable the WDT during normal operation to detect system faults.
• What is the recommended power-up sequence for the MAX708SESA?
  The recommended power-up sequence is to apply power to the VCC pin first, followed by the VBAT pin. This ensures that the device powers up correctly and minimizes the risk of latch-up or other power-up related issues.
