Speed-Switching Clock Generator
with Power Fail
General Description
The MAX7391 replaces ceramic resonators, crystals,
and supervisory functions for microcontrollers in 3.3V
and 5V applications.
The MAX7391 provides a clock source, reset, and
power-fail functions. The programmable power-fail func-
tion provides early warning of power failure and is con-
figurable to detect either an external voltage or the V
CC
supply to the device.
The clock output can be switched between normal and
half-speed operation. This functionality allows the micro-
controller to operate at reduced power and may be
used to extend the time available to perform house-
keeping tasks, such as writing data to flash during a
power failure. Connecting the power-fail output to the
SPEED input reduces clock speed automatically during
power-fail events.
The MAX7391 clock output is factory programmed to a
frequency in the 1MHz to 16MHz range. Four standard
frequencies are available. Other frequencies are avail-
able upon request. The maximum operating supply cur-
rent is 5.5mA (typ) with a clock frequency of 12MHz.
Unlike typical crystal and ceramic resonator oscillator
circuits, the MAX7391 is resistant to EMI and vibration,
and operates reliably at high temperatures. The high-
output drive current and absence of high-impedance
nodes make the oscillator invulnerable to dirty or humid
operating conditions.
The MAX7391 is available in an 8-pin µMAX
®
package.
The MAX7391 standard operating temperature range is
from -40°C to +125°C.

Note:
“s” is a placeholder for the reset output type. Insert the
symbol found in Table 2 in the place of “s.” “r” is a placeholder
for the power-on reset (POR) voltage. Insert the symbol found in
Table 1 in the place of “r.” “ff” is a placeholder for the nominal
output frequency. Insert the symbol found in Table 3 in the
place of “ff.” For example, MAX7391CMTP describes a device
with 4.38V reset level, open-collector
RST
output, and a clock
output frequency of 8MHz.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
