MAX8213ACSE+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX8213ACSE+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the purpose of the delay capacitor (CD) on the MAX8213ACSE+?
  The delay capacitor (CD) sets the time delay between the voltage supervisor's detection of an undervoltage condition and the assertion of the reset output. A larger capacitor value increases the delay time.
• How do I choose the correct reset threshold voltage for my application?
  The reset threshold voltage should be set to a value slightly higher than the minimum operating voltage of the microcontroller or processor in your system. This ensures that the voltage supervisor resets the system before it malfunctions due to low voltage.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage on the input pin (VIN) of the MAX8213ACSE+?
  The maximum allowed voltage on the input pin (VIN) of the MAX8213ACSE+ is 6V. Exceeding this voltage may damage the device.
• Can I use the MAX8213ACSE+ with a battery-powered system?
  Yes, the MAX8213ACSE+ is suitable for battery-powered systems. Its low quiescent current (typically 10µA) and low voltage operation (down to 1.8V) make it a good choice for battery-powered applications.
• How do I ensure that the MAX8213ACSE+ is reset correctly during power-up?
  To ensure correct reset during power-up, the voltage supervisor's input pin (VIN) should be connected to a power source that is stable and within the operating range of the device. Additionally, the reset output (RST) should be connected to the reset input of the microcontroller or processor.
