Catalyst Semiconductor Adds Three New Industry-Standard Devices to Supervisor Product Line

CAT705, CAT706 and CAT813 pin-for-pin compatible with MAX705, MAX706, MAX813L

Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc. a supplier of analog, mixed-signal and non-volatile memory semiconductors, has again expanded its supervisor product line with the addition of three new devices. The new CAT705, CAT706 and CAT813 voltage supervisors give designers industry-standard performance for monitoring the power supply (Vcc) status of a microprocessor, microcontroller, ASIC or other system processor. The CAT706 has a threshold voltage of 4.40V and the CAT705 and CAT813 have a threshold voltage of 4.65V.

In addition to a manual reset and watchdog timer included on all three devices, the CAT813 offers an active-high reset function and the CAT705 and CAT706 offer an active-low reset function. The CAT705, CAT706 and CAT813 supervisors are available in 8-lead SOIC and 8-lead MSOP packages. All three devices are pin-for-pin compatible with MAX705, MAX706 and MAX813L ICs. ■

The CAT705, CAT706 and CAT813 supervisors are priced at $0.54 each in 10,000 piece quantities. Samples of the CAT706 and CAT813 are available now; samples of the CAT705 will be available soon. Projected lead-time for production quantities is currently 6 to 8 weeks ARO.
