Detailed Description
Applications Information
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a
known state. The MAX803/MAX809/MAX810 assert
reset to prevent code-execution errors during power-
up, power-down, or brownout conditions. They assert a

In addition to issuing a reset to the µP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, the MAX803/
MAX809/MAX810 are relatively immune to short-duration
