Working Principles

The MAX1232CWE+T is designed to monitor the power supply voltage of a digital system. It continuously compares the supply voltage with a precision reference and generates a reset signal when the voltage falls below a certain threshold. The watchdog timer feature ensures that the system is reset if it fails to periodically toggle the WDI input. The manual reset input allows external control over the reset function.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The MAX1232CWE+T is widely used in various applications, including but not limited to: - Microcontroller-based systems - Embedded systems - Industrial automation - Consumer electronics - Medical devices - Automotive electronics
