CAT705, CAT706 and CAT813 pin-for-pin compatible with MAX705, MAX706, MAX813L
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--January 31, 2008--Catalyst Semiconductor,
Inc. (NASDAQ:CATS) 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.
