What the MAX700CSA+ does on the board
The MAX700CSA+ is a single-channel voltage supervisor from Maxim Integrated that monitors a system supply rail and holds the processor in reset until the supply is stable. It provides both active-high and active-low push-pull reset outputs, so you can drive either polarity of reset input without an external inverter. The reset timeout is a minimum of 200 ms, which gives the power rail time to settle after it crosses the threshold.
