General Description

The MAX6826–MAX6831 are ultra-low-voltage micropro-

cessor (µP) supervisory circuits designed to monitor two

power supplies and have manual reset and watchdog

input functions. These devices assert a system reset

if any of the monitored supplies fall below the prepro-

grammed thresholds, and maintain reset for a minimum

timeout period after the supplies rise above the threshold.

Microprocessor supervisors significantly improve system

reliability and accuracy compared to separate ICs or

discrete components. These devices monitor primary

voltages from +1.8V to +5.0V and secondary voltages

from +0.9V to +2.5V. These devices are guaranteed to be

in the correct state for VCC down to +1.0V.

A variety of preprogrammed reset threshold voltages

are available (see the Threshold Suffix Guide). The

devices include manual reset and watchdog inputs.

The MAX6829/MAX6830/MAX6831 provide a factory-

trimmed threshold to monitor a 2nd voltage down to

+0.9V. The MAX6826/MAX6829 have a push-pull

RESET, the MAX6827/MAX6830 have a push-pull

RESET and the MAX6828/MAX6831 have an open-drain

RESET. The MAX6826/MAX6827/MAX6828 have an

auxiliary monitor that allows user adjustable input to

monitor voltages down to +0.6V. see Selector Guide for

functions available.

Pin Description (continued)

Detailed Description

RESET/RESET Output

A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the

µP in a known state. The MAX6826–MAX6831 µP

supervisory circuits assert a reset to prevent code-

execution errors during power-up, power-down, and

brownout conditions. Whenever a monitored voltage falls

below the reset threshold, the reset output asserts low for

RESET and high for RESET. Once all monitored voltages

exceed their reset thresholds, an internal timer keeps

the reset output asserted for the specified reset timeout

period (tRP); after this interval, reset output returns to its

original state (Figure 3).

Manual-Reset Input

Many µP-based products require manual-reset

capability, allowing the operator, a test technician, or

external logic circuitry to initiate a reset. A logic low on

MR asserts a reset. Reset remains asserted while MR is

low, and for the timeout period (140ms min) after it

returns high. MR has an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor,

so it can be left open if not used. This input can be dri-

ven with CMOS logic levels or with open-drain/collector

outputs. Connect a normally open momentary switch

from MR to GND to create a manual-reset function;

external debounce circuitry is not required. If MR is dri-

ven from long cables or the device is used in a noisy

environment, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to

GND to provide additional noise immunity.

Watchdog Input

The watchdog circuit monitors the µP’s activity. If the

µP does not toggle (low to high or high to low) the

watchdog input (WDI) within the watchdog timeout

period (1.6s nominal), reset asserts for the reset timeout

period. The internal 1.6s timer can be cleared by either

a reset pulse or by toggling WDI. The WDI can detect

pulses as short as 50ns. While reset is asserted, the

timer remains cleared and does not count. As soon as

reset is released, the timer starts counting (Figure 4).

Disable the watchdog function by leaving WDI uncon-

nected or by three-stating the driver connected to WDI.

The watchdog input is internally driven low during the

first 7/8 of the watchdog timeout period and high for the

last 1/8 of the watchdog timeout period. When WDI is left

unconnected, this internal driver clears the 1.6s timer

every 1.4s. When WDI is three-stated or unconnected,

the maximum allowable leakage current is 10µA and the

maximum allowable load capacitance is 200pF.

Adjustable Reset Thresholds

The MAX6826/MAX6827/MAX6828 provide a user

adjustable input to monitor a second voltage. The

threshold voltage at RSTIN is typically 0.63V. To moni-

tor a voltage higher than 0.63V, connect a resistor-

divider to the circuit as shown in Figure 5. The

threshold at VMONITOR is:

MONITOR_TRIP

R1 R2

V 0.63V R2







Note that RSTIN is powered by VCC, and its voltage must

therefore remain lower than VCC.

Applications Information

Watchdog Input Current

The WDI inputs are internally driven through a buffer and

series resistor from the watchdog timer (Figure 1). When

WDI is left unconnected, the watchdog timer is serviced

within the watchdog timeout period by a low-high-low

pulse from the counter chain. For minimum watchdog

input current (minimum overall power consumption),

leave WDI low for the majority of the watch-dog timeout

period, pulsing it low-high-low once within the first 7/8 of

the watchdog timeout period to reset the watchdog timer.

If WDI is externally driven high for the majority of the

timeout period, up to 160µA can flow into WDI.

Interfacing to µPs with Bidirectional

Reset Pins

Since the RESET output on the MAX6828/MAX6831

is open drain, these devices interface easily with µPs

that have bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola

68HC11. Connecting the µP supervisor’s RESET output

directly to the microcontroller’s RESET pin with a single

pullup resistor allows the device to assert a reset

(Figure 6).

MAX6826-MAX6831 Dual Ultra-Low-Voltage SOT23 µP Supervisors with

Manual Reset and Watchdog Timer

Negative-Going VCC Transients

These supervisors are relatively immune to short-

duration, negative-going VCC transients (glitches),

which usually do not require the entire system to shut

down. Resets are issued to the µP during power-up,

power-down, and brownout conditions. The Typical

Operating Characteristics show a graph of the Maximum

VCC Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive,

for which reset pulses are not generated. The graph

was produced using negative-going VCC pulses, start-

ing at the standard monitored voltage and ending below

the reset threshold by the magnitude indicated (reset

threshold overdrive). The graph shows the maximum

pulse width that a negative-going VCC transient can

typically have without triggering a reset pulse. As the

amplitude of the transient increases (i.e., goes farther

below the reset threshold), the maximum allowable pulse

width decreases. Typically, a VCC transient that goes

100mV below the reset threshold and lasts for 20µs or

less will not trigger a reset pulse.

Ensuring a Valid RESET Output Down to

VCC = 0

The MAX6826–MAX6831 are guaranteed to operate

properly down to VCC = 1V. In applications that require

valid reset levels down to VCC = 0, a pulldown resistor to

active-low outputs (push/pull only, Figure 7) and a pullup

resistor to active-high outputs (push/pull only) will ensure

that the reset line is valid while the reset output can no

longer sink or source current. This scheme does not work

with the open-drain outputs of the MAX6828/MAX6831.

The resistor value used is not critical, but it must be small

enough not to load the reset output when VCC is above

the reset threshold. For falling slew rates greater than

1V/s, a 100kW is adequate.

Watchdog Software Considerations

One way to help the watchdog timer monitor software

execution more closely is to set and reset the watchdog

input at different points in the program, rather than pulsing

the watchdog input high-low-high or low-high-low. This

technique avoids a stuck loop, in which the watchdog

timer would continue to be reset inside the loop, keeping

the watchdog from timing out.

Figure 8 shows an example of a flow diagram where the

I/O driving the watchdog input is set high at the begin-

ning of the program, set low at the beginning of every

subroutine or loop, then set high again when the pro-

gram returns to the beginning. If the program should

hang in any subroutine, the problem would quickly be

corrected, since the I/O is continually set low and the

watchdog timer is allowed to time out, causing a reset

or interrupt to be issued. As described in the Watchdog

Input Current section, this scheme results in higher time

average WDI input current than does leaving WDI low

for the majority of the timeout period and periodically

pulsing it low-high-low.
