Maxim MAX1232 Series Microprocessor Monitor & Supervisor
- Maxim MAX1232EPA+, The MAX1232 functions as a microprocessor monitor & supervisor but uses a fraction of the power of other similar devices. By monitoring functions such as power supply & software execution & providing a reset signal & manual reset input debouncing, the device helps to improve microprocessor systems circuit reliability. On conditions of power-up, power-down & low-voltage brownout a reset pulse of at least 250ms duration is output, & the supply tolerance is digitally selectable between 5% & 10%. The manual reset input also generates a ≥250ms reset signal. A digitally programmable watchdog timer provides a software execution monitoring function & can be programmed to reset on software timeout settings of 150, 600 or 1200ms. This microprocessor monitor is ideal for a range of applications such as computers, controllers, intelligent instruments, automotive systems & critical microprocessor power monitoring.
