General Description
The MAX6365–MAX6368 supervisory circuits simplify
power-supply monitoring, battery-backup control func-
tions, and memory write protection in microprocessor
(µP) systems. The circuits significantly improve the size,
accuracy, and reliability of modern systems with an ultra-
small integrated solution.
These devices perform four basic system functions:
1) Provide a µP reset output during VCC supply power-
up, power-down, and brownout conditions.
2) Internally control VCC to backup-battery switching to
maintain data or low-power operation for CMOS
RAM, CMOS µPs, real-time clocks, and other digital
logic when the main supply fails.
3) Provide memory write protection through internal
chip-enable gating during supply or processor faults.
4) Include one of the following options: a manual reset
input (MAX6365), a watchdog timer function
(MAX6366), a battery-on output (MAX6367), or an
auxiliary user-adjustable reset input (MAX6368).
The MAX6365–MAX6368 operate from VCC supply volt-
ages as low as 1.2V. The factory preset reset threshold
voltages range from 2.32V to 4.63V (see the
Ordering
Information
). In addition, each part is offered in three
reset output versions: push-pull active low, open-drain
active low, or open-drain active high (see the
Selector
Guide
). The MAX6365–MAX6368 are available in minia-
ture 8-pin SOT23 packages.

1
RESET
Active-Low Reset Output. RESET asserts low continuously when V
C C is below the reset threshold
(VTH), the manual reset input is low, or RESET IN is low. It asserts low in pulses when the internal
watchdog times out. RESET remains asserted low for the reset timeout period (tRP) after V
C C
rises above the reset threshold, after the manual reset input goes from low to high, after RESET
IN goes high, or after the watchdog triggers a reset event. The MAX636_L is an active-low push-
pull output, while the MAX636_P is an active-low open-drain output.
2CE IN
Chip-Enable Input. The input to chip-enable gating circuitry. Connect to GND or OUT if not used.
3 GND Ground
MR
MAX6365 Manual-Reset Input. Maintaining logic low on MR asserts a reset. Reset output
remains asserted as long as MR is low and for the reset timeout period (tRP) after MR transitions
from low to high. Leave unconnected, or connect to VCC if not used. MR has an internal 20kΩ
pullup to VCC.
WDI
MAX6366 Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout
period (t
W D ), the internal watchdog timer runs out and a reset pulse is triggered for the reset
timeout period (tRP). The internal watchdog clears whenever reset asserts or whenever WDI sees
a rising or falling edge (Figure 2).
BATT ON MAX6367 Battery-On Output. BATT ON goes high when in battery-backup mode.
4
RESET IN MAX6368 Reset Input. When RESET IN falls below 1.235V, reset asserts. Reset output remains
asserted as long as RESET IN is low and for at least tRP after RESET IN goes high.
5V
CC
Supply Voltage, 1.2V to 5.5V. Reset asserts when V
C C drops below the reset threshold voltage
(VTH). Reset remains asserted until V
C C rises above VTH and for at least tRP after V
C C rises
above VTH.
6 OUT Output. OUT sources from V
C C when not in reset and from the greater of VCC or BATT when V
C C
is below the reset threshold.
7 BATT
Backup-Battery Input. When V
C C falls below the reset threshold, OUT switches to BATT if VBATT
is 20mV greater than V
C C . When V
C C rises 20mV above VBATT, OUT switches to V
C C . The 40mV
hysteresis prevents repeated switching if VCC falls slowly.
8CE OUT
Chip-Enable Output. CE OUT goes low only when CE IN is low and reset is not asserted. If CE
IN is low when reset is asserted, CE OUT will stay low for 12µs (typ) or until CE IN goes high,
whichever occurs first.

Detailed Description
The
Typical Operating Circuit
shows a typical connec-
tion for the MAX6365–MAX6368. OUT powers the static
random-access memory (SRAM). If VCC is greater than
the reset threshold (VTH), or if VCC is lower than VTH
but higher than VBATT, VCC is connected to OUT. If
VCC is lower than VTH and VCC is less than VBATT,
BATT is connected to OUT. OUT supplies up to 150mA
from VCC. In battery-backup mode, an internal MOSFET
connects the backup battery to OUT. The on-resistance
of the MOSFET is a function of backup-battery voltage
and is shown in the BATT-to-OUT On-Resistance vs.
Temperature graph in the
Typical Operating Char-
acteristics
.
Chip-Enable Signal Gating
The MAX6365–MAX6368 provide internal gating of CE
signals to prevent erroneous data from being written to
CMOS RAM in the event of a power failure. During nor-
mal operation, the CE gate is enabled and passes all
CE transitions. When reset asserts, this path becomes
disabled, preventing erroneous data from corrupting
the CMOS RAM. All of these devices use a series trans-
mission gate from CE IN to CE OUT. The 2ns propaga-
tion delay from CE IN to CE OUT allows the devices to
be used with most µPs and high-speed DSPs.
During normal operation, CE IN is connected to CE
OUT through a low on-resistance transmission gate.
This is valid when reset is not asserted. If CE IN is high
when reset is asserted, CE OUT remains high regard-
less of any subsequent transitions on CE IN during the
reset event.
If CE IN is low when reset is asserted, CE OUT is held
low for 12µs to allow completion of the read/write oper-
ation (Figure 1). After the 12µs delay expires, the CE
Functional Diagram

OUT goes high and stays high regardless of any sub-
sequent transitions on CE IN during the reset event.
When CE OUT is disconnected from CE IN, CE OUT is
actively pulled up to OUT.
The propagation delay through the chip-enable circuit-
ry depends on both the source impedance of the drive
to CE IN and the capacitive loading at CE OUT. The
chip-enable propagation delay is production tested
from the 50% point of CE IN to the 50% point of CE
OUT, using a 50Ωdriver and 50pF load capacitance.
Minimize the capacitive load at CE OUT to minimize
propagation delay, and use a low-output-impedance
driver.
Backup-Battery Switchover
In a brownout or power failure, it may be necessary to
preserve the contents of the RAM. With a backup bat-
tery installed at BATT, the MAX6365–MAX6368 auto-
matically switch the RAM to backup power when VCC
falls. The MAX6367 has a BATT ON output that goes
high in battery-backup mode. These devices require
two conditions before switching to battery-backup
mode:
1) VCC must be below the reset threshold.
2) VCC must be below VBATT.
Table 1 lists the status of the inputs and outputs in bat-
tery-backup mode. The devices do not power up if the
only voltage source is on BATT. OUT only powers up
from VCC at startup.
Manual Reset Input (MAX6365 Only)
Many µP-based products require manual reset capabili-
ty, allowing the user or external logic circuitry to initiate a
reset. For the MAX6365, a logic low on MR asserts reset.
Reset remains asserted while MR is low and for a mini-
mum of 150ms (tRP) after it returns high. MR has an inter-
nal 20kΩpullup resistor to VCC. This input can be driven
with TTL/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; exter-
nal debounce circuitry is not required. If MR is driven
from long cables or the device is used in a noisy environ-
ment, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND to pro-
vide additional noise immunity.

Watchdog Input (MAX6366 Only)
The watchdog monitors µP activity through the watch-
dog input (WDI). If the µP becomes inactive, reset
asserts. To use the watchdog function, connect WDI to
a bus line or µP I/O line. A change of state (high to low,
low to high, or a minimum 100ns pulse) resets the
watchdog timer. If WDI remains high or low for longer
than the watchdog timeout period (tWD), the internal
watchdog timer runs out and a reset pulse is triggered
for the reset timeout period (tRP). The internal watchdog
timer clears whenever reset asserts or whenever WDI
sees a rising or falling edge. If WDI remains in either a
high or low state, a reset pulse asserts periodically after
every tWD (Figure 2).
BATT ON Indicator (MAX6367 Only)
BATT ON is a push-pull output that drives high when in
battery-backup mode. BATT ON typically sinks 3.2mA
at 0.1V saturation voltage. In battery-backup mode, this
terminal sources approximately 10µA from OUT. Use
BATT ON to indicate battery-switchover status or to
supply base drive to an external pass transistor for
higher current applications (Figure 3).
RESET IN Comparator (MAX6368 Only)
RESET IN is compared to an internal 1.235V reference.
If the voltage at RESET IN is less than 1.235V, reset
asserts. Use the RESET IN comparator as an undervolt-
age detector to signal a failing power supply or as a
secondary power-supply reset monitor.
To program the reset threshold (VRTH) of the secondary
power supply, use the following (see
Typical Operating
Circuit
):
VRTH = VREF (R1 / R2 + 1)
where VREF = 1.235V. To simplify the resistor selection,
choose a value for R2 and calculate R1:
R1 = R2 [(VRTH / VREF) - 1]
Since the input current at RESET IN is 25nA (max),
large values (up to 1MΩ) can be used for R2 with no
significant loss in accuracy. For example, in the
Typical
Operating Circuit
, the MAX6368 monitors two supply
voltages. To monitor the secondary 5V logic or analog
supply with a 4.60V nominal programmed reset thresh-
old, choose R2 = 100kΩ, and calculate R1 = 273kΩ.
Reset Output
A µP’s reset input starts the µP in a known state. The
MAX6365–MAX6368 µP supervisory circuits assert a
reset to prevent code-execution errors during power-
up, power-down, and brownout conditions. RESET is
guaranteed to be a logic low or logic high, depending
on the device chosen (see the
Ordering Information
).
RESET or RESET asserts when VCC is below the reset
threshold and for at least 150ms (tRP) after VCC rises
above the reset threshold. RESET or RESET also
asserts when MR is low (MAX6365) and when RESET IN
is less than 1.235V (MAX6368). The MAX6366 watch-
dog function will cause RESET (or RESET) to assert in
pulses following a watchdog timeout (Figure 2).
Applications Information
Operation Without
a Backup Power Source
The MAX6365–MAX6368 provide battery-backup func-
tions. If a backup power source is not used, connect
BATT to GND and OUT to VCC.

Watchdog Software Considerations
One way to help the watchdog timer monitor the soft-
ware execution more closely is to set and reset the
watchdog at different points in the program rather than
pulsing the watchdog input periodically. Figure 4
shows a flow diagram in which the I/O driving the
watchdog is set low in the beginning of the program,
set high at the beginning of every subroutine or loop,
and set low again when the program returns to the
beginning. If the program should hang in any subrou-
tine, the problem would be quickly corrected.
Replacing the Backup Battery
When VCC is above VTH, the backup power source can
be removed without danger of triggering a reset pulse.
The device does not enter battery-backup mode when
VCC stays above the reset threshold voltage.
Negative-Going VCC Transients
These supervisors are relatively immune to short-dura-
tion, negative-going VCC transients. Resetting the µP
when VCC experiences only small glitches is usually not
desirable.
The
Typical Operating Characteristics
section has a
Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold
Overdrive graph for which reset is not asserted. The
graph was produced using negative-going VCC pulses,
starting at VCC and ending below the reset threshold by
the magnitude indicated (reset threshold overdrive).
The graph shows the maximum pulse width that a neg-
ative-going VCC transient can typically have without
triggering a reset pulse. As the amplitude of the tran-
sient increases (i.e., goes further below the reset
threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width
decreases. Typically, a VCC transient that goes 100mV
below the reset threshold and lasts for 30µs will not trig-
ger a reset pulse.
A 0.1µF bypass capacitor mounted close to the VCC
pin provides additional transient immunity.
