Product details

The Maxim Integrated MAX818MEPA is a microprocessor (MPU) supervisor IC, a device that monitors a single supply voltage and asserts a reset output when the voltage falls below a factory-trimmed threshold, holding the reset state until the supply stabilises. These parts are common in embedded systems where a clean, glitch-free power-on reset and brown-out protection are required for the processor, FPGA, or ASIC. The part is marked as RoHS non-compliant, which means it contains lead (Pb) above the exemption thresholds. For designs that require RoHS compliance, a lead-free variant or an alternative supervisor should be selected. This is a sourcing constraint to flag at BOM review, particularly for EU-market or green-build projects.

The part is RoHS non-compliant, which may affect stock availability at some distributors.

Confirm the package form factor from the datasheet to ensure feeder compatibility.

Frequently asked questions

Is MAX818MEPA RoHS compliant?

No, the MAX818MEPA is marked as RoHS non-compliant. For RoHS-required designs, a lead-free alternative supervisor should be selected.

How does a microprocessor supervisor IC work?

A supervisor IC monitors the supply voltage of a microprocessor or digital IC. When the voltage drops below a preset threshold, it asserts a reset signal to hold the processor in reset until the supply stabilises. This prevents erratic behaviour during power-up, brown-out, or transient dips.
