General Description
The MAX6730A–MAX6735A single-/dual-/triple-voltage
microprocessor (µP) supervisors feature a watchdog
timer and manual reset capability. The MAX6730A–
MAX6735A offer factory-set reset thresholds for moni-
toring voltages from +0.9V to +5V and an adjustable
reset input for monitoring voltages down to +0.63V. The
combination of these features significantly improves
system reliability and accuracy when compared to sep-
arate ICs or discrete components.
The active-low reset output asserts and remains asserted
for the reset timeout period after all the monitored volt-
ages exceed their respective thresholds. Multiple factory-
set reset threshold combinations reduce the number of
external components required. The MAX6730A/
MAX6731A monitor a single fixed voltage, the MAX6732A/
MAX6733A monitor two fixed voltages, and the
MAX6734A/MAX6735A monitor two fixed voltages and one
adjustable voltage. All devices are offered with six mini-
mum reset timeout periods ranging from 1.1ms to 1120ms.
The MAX6730A–MAX6735A feature a watchdog timer
with an independent watchdog output. The watchdog
timer prevents system lockup during code execution
errors. A watchdog startup delay of 54s after reset
asserts allows system initialization during power-up.
The watchdog operates in normal mode with a 1.68s
delay after initialization. The MAX6730A/MAX6732A/
MAX6734A provide an active-low, open-drain watch-
dog output. The MAX6731A/MAX6733A/MAX6735A
provide an active-low, push-pull watchdog output.
Other features include a manual reset input (MAX6730A/
MAX6731A/MAX6734A/MAX6735A) and push-pull reset
output (MAX6731A/MAX6733A/MAX6735A) or open-
drain reset output (MAX6730A/MAX6732A/MAX6734A).
The MAX6730A–MAX6733A are offered in a tiny 6-pin
SOT23 package. The MAX6734A/MAX6735A are offered
in an 8-pin, space-saving SOT23 package. All devices
are fully specified over the extended -40°C to +125°C
temperature range.

NAME

RST
Active-Low Reset Output. The MAX6730A/MAX6732A/MAX6734A provide an
open-drain output. The MAX6731A/MAX6733A/MAX6735A provide a push-pull
output. RST asserts low when any of the following conditions occur: VCC1 or
VCC2 drops below its preset threshold, RSTIN drops below its reset threshold,
or MR is driven low. Open-drain versions require an external pullup resistor.
222
GND
Ground
334
WDO
Active-Low Watchdog Output. The MAX6730A/MAX6732A/MAX6734A provide
an open-drain WDO output. The MAX6731A/MAX6733A/MAX6735A provide a
push-pull WDO output. WDO asserts low when no low-to-high or high-to-low
transition occurs on WDI within the watchdog timeout period (tWD) or if an
undervoltage-lockout condition exists for VCC1, VCC2, or RSTIN. WDO
deasserts without a timeout period when VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN exceed their
reset thresholds, or when the manual reset input is deasserted. Open-drain
versions require an external pullup resistor.
4—5MR
Active-Low Manual Reset Input. Drive MR low to force a reset. RST remains
asserted as long as MR is low and for the reset timeout period after MR releases
high. MR has a 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1; leave MR open or connect to
VCC1 if unused.
553
WDI
Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low for longer than the watchdog
timeout period, the internal watchdog timer expires and the watchdog output
asserts low. The internal watchdog timer clears whenever RST asserts or a
rising or falling edge on WDI is detected. The watchdog has an initial watchdog
timeout period (35s min) after each reset event and a short timeout period
(1.12s min) after the first valid WDI transition. Floating WDI does not disable the
watchdog timer function.
668
VCC1
Primary Supply-Voltage Input. VCC1 provides power to the device when it is
greater than VCC2. VCC1 is the input to the primary reset threshold monitor.
—4 6
VCC2
Secondary Supply-Voltage Input. VCC2 provides power to the device when it is
greater than VCC1. VCC2 is the input to the secondary reset threshold monitor.
—— 7
RSTIN
Undervoltage Reset Comparator Input. RSTIN provides a high-impedance
comparator input for the adjustable reset monitor. RST asserts low if the voltage
at RSTIN drops below the 626mV internal reference voltage. Connect a resistive
voltage-divider to RSTIN to monitor voltages higher than 626mV. Connect
RSTIN to VCC1 or VCC2 if unused.
MAX6730A–MAX6735A
Detailed Description
Supply Voltages
The MAX6730A–MAX6735A microprocessor (µP) super-
visors maintain system integrity by alerting the µP to fault
conditions. The MAX6730A–MAX6735A monitor one to
three supply voltages in µP-based systems and assert
an active-low reset output when any monitored supply
voltage drops below its preset threshold. The output
state remains valid for VCC1 or VCC2 greater than +0.8V.
Threshold Levels
The two-letter code in the Reset Voltage Threshold
Suffix Guide (Table 1) indicates the threshold level
combinations for VCC1 and VCC2.
Reset Output
The MAX6730A–MAX6735A feature an active-low reset
output (RST). RST asserts when the voltage at either
VCC1 or VCC2 falls below the voltage threshold level,
VRSTIN drops below its threshold, or MR is driven low
(Figure 1). RST remains low for the reset timeout period
(Table 2) after VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN increase above
their respective thresholds and after MR releases high.
Whenever VCC1, VCC2, or RSTIN go below the reset
threshold before the end of the reset timeout period, the
internal timer restarts. The MAX6730A/MAX6732A/
MAX6734A provide an open-drain RST output, and the
MAX6731A/MAX6733A/MAX6735A provide a push-pull
RST output.

Manual Reset Input
Many µP-based products require manual reset capabil-
ity, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external
logic circuitry to initiate a reset. A logic-low on MR
asserts the reset output, clears the watchdog timer,
and deasserts the watchdog output. Reset remains
asserted while MR is low and for the reset timeout peri-
od (tRP) after MR returns high. An internal 50kΩpullup
resistor allows MR to be left open if unused. Drive MR
with CMOS-logic levels or with open-drain/collector out-
puts. Connect a normally open momentary switch from
MR to GND to create a manual reset function; external
debounce circuitry is not required. Connect a 0.1µF
capacitor from MR to GND to provide additional noise
immunity when driving MR over long cables or if the
device is used in a noisy environment.
Adjustable Input Voltage (RSTIN)
The MAX6734A/MAX6735A provide an additional high-
impedance comparator input with a 626mV threshold to
monitor a third supply voltage. To monitor a voltage
higher than 626mV, connect a resistive divider to the
circuit as shown in Figure 2 to establish an externally
controlled threshold voltage, VEXT_TH.

Figure 2. Monitoring a Third Voltage
MAX6730A–MAX6735A
The RSTIN comparator derives power from VCC1, and
the input voltage must remain less than or equal to
VCC1. Low leakage current at RSTIN allows the use of
large-valued resistors, resulting in reduced power con-
sumption of the system.
Watchdog
The watchdog feature monitors µP activity through
the watchdog input (WDI). A rising or falling edge on
WDI within the watchdog timeout period (tWD) indi-
cates normal µP operation. WDO asserts low if WDI
remains high or low for longer than the watchdog
timeout period. Floating WDI does not disable the
watchdog timer.
The MAX6730A–MAX6735A include a dual-mode
watchdog timer to monitor µP activity. The flexible time-
out architecture provides a long-period initial watchdog
mode, allowing complicated systems to complete
lengthy boots, and a short-period normal watchdog
mode, allowing the supervisor to provide quick alerts
when processor activity fails. After each reset event
(VCC power-up, brownout, or manual reset), there is a
long initial watchdog period of 35s (min). The long
watchdog period mode provides an extended time for
the system to power up and fully initialize all µP and
system components before assuming responsibility for
routine watchdog updates.
The usual watchdog timeout period (1.12s min) begins
after the initial watchdog timeout period (tWD-L) expires
or after the first transition on WDI (Figure 3). During nor-
mal operating mode, the supervisor asserts the WDO
output if the µP does not update the WDI with a valid
transition (high to low or low to high) within the standard
timeout period (tWD-S) (1.12s min).
Connect MR to WDO to force a system reset in the
event that no rising or falling edge is detected at WDI
within the watchdog timeout period. WDO asserts low
when no edge is detected by WDI, the RST output
asserts low, the watchdog counter immediately clears,
and WDO returns high. The watchdog counter restarts,
using the long watchdog period, when the reset timeout
period ends (Figure 4).
Ensuring a Valid Reset
Output Down to VCC = 0V
The MAX6730A–MAX6735A guarantee proper opera-
tion down to VCC = +0.8V. In applications that require
valid reset levels down to VCC = 0V, use a 100kΩpull-
down resistor from RST to GND. The resistor value
used is not critical, but it must be large enough not to
load the reset output when VCC is above the reset
threshold. For most applications, 100kΩis adequate.
Note that this configuration does not work for the open-
drain outputs of MAX6730A/MAX6732A/MAX6734A.

Applications Information
Interfacing to µPs with Bidirectional
Reset Pins
Microprocessors with bidirectional reset pins can inter-
face directly with the open-drain RST output options.
However, conditions might occur in which the push-pull
output versions experience logic contention with the
bidirectional reset pin of the µP. Connect a 10kΩresis-
tor between RST and the µP’s reset I/O port to prevent
logic contention (Figure 5).
Falling VCC Transients
The MAX6730A–MAX6735A µP supervisors are relative-
ly immune to short-duration falling VCC_ transients
(glitches). Small glitches on VCC_ are ignored by the
MAX6730A–MAX6735A, preventing undesirable reset
pulses to the µP. The Typical Operating Characteristics
show Maximum VCC_ Transient Duration vs. Reset

Figure 5. Interfacing to µPs with Bidirectional Reset I/O
MAX6730A–MAX6735A
Threshold Overdrive graph, for which reset pulses are
not generated. The graph was produced using falling
VCC_ pulses, starting above VTH and ending below the
reset threshold by the magnitude indicated (reset
threshold overdrive). The graph shows the maximum
pulse width that a falling VCC transient typically might
have without causing a reset pulse to be issued. As the
amplitude of the transient increases (i.e., goes further
below the reset threshold), the maximum allowable
pulse width decreases. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor
mounted close to VCC_ provides additional transient
immunity.
Watchdog Software Considerations
Setting and resetting the watchdog input at different
points in the program rather than “pulsing” the watch-
dog input high-low-high or low-high-low helps the
watchdog timer closely monitor software execution.
This technique avoids a “stuck” loop, in which the
watchdog timer continues to be reset within the loop,
preventing the watchdog from timing out. Figure 6
shows an example flow diagram in which the I/O dri-
ving the watchdog input is set high at the beginning of
the program, set low at the beginning of every subrou-
tine or loop, and then set high again when the program
returns to the beginning. If the program “hangs” in any
subroutine, the I/O continually asserts low (or high),
and the watchdog timer expires, issuing a reset or
interrupt.
