Santa Clara, Calif. — Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc. has expanded its supervisor product line with the addition of three new devices. The CAT705, CAT706 and CAT813 voltage supervisors monitor the power supply (Vcc) status of a microprocessor, microcontroller, ASIC or other system processor.

The CAT706 offers a threshold voltage of 4.40 V, while the CAT705 and CAT813 devices provide a threshold voltage of 4.65 V. 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.

All three devices are available in 8-lead SOIC and 8-lead MSOP packages. They are also pin-for-pin compatible with MAX705, MAX706 and MAX813L ICs.

Pricing: $0.54 each in quantities of 10,000.
Availability: 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 six to eight weeks ARO.
Product information: CAT705, CAT706 and CAT813
