General Description
The MAX6457–MAX6460 high supply voltage, low-power
voltage monitors operate over a 4V to 28V supply voltage
range. Each device includes a precision bandgap refer-
ence, one or two low-offset voltage comparators, internal
threshold hysteresis, power-good or reset timeout
options, and one or two high-voltage open-drain outputs.
Two external resistors (three for window detection) set the
trip threshold voltages.
The MAX6457 is a single voltage monitor for undervoltage
or overvoltage detection. A logic-based clear input either
latches the output for overvoltage applications or allows
the device to operate in transparent mode. The MAX6458
includes two comparators (one overvoltage and one
undervoltage) for window detection and a single output to
indicate if the monitored input is within an adjustable volt-
age window. The MAX6459 includes dual overvoltage/
undervoltage comparators with two independent com-
parator outputs. Use the MAX6459 as a window com-
parator with separate undervoltage and overvoltage
outputs or as two independent, single voltage monitors.
The MAX6460 includes a single comparator and an inter-
nal reference, and can also accept an external reference.
The inverting and noninverting inputs of the comparator
are externally accessible to support positive or negative
voltage monitors and to configure the device for active-
high or active-low output logic.
The MAX6457/MAX6458 offer fixed timing options as a
voltage detector with a 50µs typical delay or as a reset cir-
cuit with a 90ms minimum reset timeout delay. The moni-
tored input must be above the adjusted trip threshold (or
within the adjusted voltage window for the MAX6458) for
the selected timeout period before the output changes
state. The MAX6459/MAX6460 offer only a fixed 50µs
timeout period. Internal threshold hysteresis options (0.5%,
5%, and 8.3% for the MAX6457/MAX6458/MAX6459, and
0.5% for the MAX6460) reduce output chatter in noise-
sensitive applications. Each device is available in a small
SOT23 package and specified over the extended temper-
ature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Detailed Description
Each of the MAX6457–MAX6460 high-voltage (4V to
28V), low-power voltage monitors include a precision
bandgap reference, one or two low-offset-voltage com-
parators, internal threshold hysteresis, internal timeout
period, and one or two high-voltage open-drain outputs.
Programming the Trip Voltage (VTRIP)
Two external resistors set the trip voltage, VTRIP (Figure 5).
VTRIP is the point at which the applied voltage (typically
VCC) toggles OUT. The MAX6457/MAX6458/MAX6459/
MAX6460’s high input impedance allows large-value
resistors without compromising trip-voltage accuracy.
To minimize current consumption, select a value for R2
between 10kand 1M, then calculate R1 as follows:
where VTRIP = desired trip voltage (in volts), VTH =
threshold trip voltage (VTH+ for overvoltage detection
or VTH- for undervoltage detection).
Use the MAX6460 voltage reference (REF) to set the
trip threshold by connecting IN+ or IN- through a volt-
age divider (within the inputs common-mode voltage
range) to REF. Do not connect REF directly to IN+ or
IN- since this violates the input common-mode voltage
range. Small leakage currents into the comparators
inputs allows use of large value resistors to prevent
loading the reference and affecting its accuracy. Figure
5b shows an active-high power-good output. Use the
following equation to determine the resistor values
when connecting REF to IN-:
where VREF = reference output voltage (2.25V, typ),
VREFD = divided reference, VTRIP = desired trip thresh-
old in (in volts).
For an active-low power-good output, connect the
resistor divider R1 and R2 to the inverting input and the
reference-divider network to the noninverting input.
Alternatively, connect an external reference less than
1.4V to either input.

Figure 6. Input and Output Waveforms (Noninverting Input Varied)
Hysteresis
Hysteresis adds noise immunity to the voltage monitors
and prevents oscillation due to repeated triggering
when VIN is near the threshold trip voltage. The hystere-
sis in a comparator creates two trip points: one for the
rising input voltage (VTH+) and one for the falling input
voltage (VTH-). These thresholds are shown in Figure 6.
The internal hysteresis options of the MAX6457/
MAX6458/MAX6459 are designed to eliminate the need
for adding an external hysteresis circuit.
Timeout Period
The timeout period (tTP) for the MAX6457 is the time
from when the input (IN+) crosses the rising input
threshold (VTH+) to when the output goes high (see
Figures 6 and 7). For the MAX6458, the monitored volt-
age must be in the “window” before the timeout starts.
The MAX6459 and MAX6460 do not offer the extended
timeout option (150ms). The extended timeout period is
suitable for overvoltage protection applications requir-
ing transient immunity to avoid false output assertion
due to noise spikes.
Latched-Output Operation
The MAX6457 features a digital latch input (CLEAR) to
latch any overvoltage event. If the voltage on IN+ (VIN+)
is below the internal threshold (VTH-), or if VCC is below
4V, OUT remains low regardless of the state of CLEAR.
Drive CLEAR high to latch OUT high when VIN+ exceeds
VTH+. When CLEAR is high, OUT does not deassert if
VIN+ drops back below VIN-. Toggle CLEAR to deassert
OUT. Drive CLEAR low to make the latch transparent
(Figure 7). CLEAR must be low when powering up the
MAX6457. To initiate self-clear at power-up, add a 100k
pullup resistor from CLEAR to VCC and a 1µF capacitor
from CLEAR to GND to hold CLEAR low. Connect
CLEAR to GND when not used. See Figure 9.

Figure 8. Undervoltage Lockout Typical Application Circuit
MAX6457–MAX6460
Applications Information
Undervoltage Lockout
Figure 8 shows the typical application circuit for detecting
an undervoltage event of a 5-cell Li+ battery stack.
Connect OUT of the MAX6457/MAX6458/MAX6460
(OUTA of the MAX6459) to the shutdown input of the DC-
DC converter to cut off power to the load in case of an
undervoltage event. Select R1 and R2 to set the trip volt-
age (see the
Programming the Trip Voltage (V
TRIP
)
sec-
tion). When the voltage of the battery stack decreases so
that VIN+ drops below VTH- of the MAX6457–MAX6460,
then OUT (OUTA) goes low and disables the power sup-
ply to the load. When the battery charger restores the volt-
age of the 5-cell stack so that VIN+ > VTH+, OUT (OUTA)
goes high and the power supply resumes driving the load.
Overvoltage Shutdown
The MAX6457–MAX6460 are ideal for overvoltage shut-
down applications. Figure 9 shows a typical circuit for
this application using a pass P-channel MOSFET. The
MAX6457–MAX6460 are powered directly from the sys-
tem voltage supply. Select R1 and R2 to set the trip volt-
age (see the
Programming the Trip Voltage (V
TRIP
)
section). When the supply voltage remains below the
selected threshold, a low logic level on OUT (OUTB for
MAX6459) turns on the p-channel MOSFET. In the case
of an overvoltage event, OUT (OUTB) asserts high, turns
off the MOSFET, and shuts down the power to the load.
Figure 10 shows a similar application using a fuse and
a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR). An overvoltage
event turns on the SCR and shorts the supply to
ground. The surge of current through the short circuit
blows the fuse and terminates the current to the load.
Select R3 so that the gate of the SCR is properly biased
when OUT (OUTB) goes high impedance.
Window Detection
The MAX6458/MAX6459 include undervoltage and
overvoltage comparators for window detection (Figures
2 and 3). The circuit in Figure 11 shows the typical con-
figuration for this application. For the MAX6458, OUT
asserts high when VCC is within the selected “window.”
When VCC falls below the lower limit of the window
(VTRIPLOW) or exceeds the upper limit (VTRIPHIGH),
OUT asserts low.
The MAX6459 features two independent open-drain
outputs: OUTA (for undervoltage events) and OUTB (for
overvoltage events). When VCC is within the selected
window, OUTA and OUTB assert high. When VCC falls
below VTRIPLOW, OUTA asserts low while OUTB

remains high. When VCC exceeds VTRIPHIGH, OUTB
asserts low while OUTA remains high. VTRIPLOW and
VTRIPHIGH are given by the following equations:
where RTOTAL = R1 + R2 + R3.
Use the following steps to determine the values for R1,
R2, and R3.
1) Choose a value for RTOTAL, the sum of R1, R2, and
R3. Because the MAX6458/MAX6459 have very
high input impedance, RTOTAL can be up to 5M.
2) Calculate R3 based on RTOTAL and the desired
upper trip point:
3) Calculate R2 based on RTOTAL, R3, and the desired
lower trip point:
4) Calculate R1 based on RTOTAL, R3, and R2:
R1 = RTOTAL - R2 - R3
Example Calculations for Window
Detection
The following is an example for calculating R1, R2, and
R3 of Figure 11 for window detection. Select the upper
and lower trip points (VTRIPHIGH and VTRIPLOW).
VCC = 21V
VTRIPHIGH = 23.1V
VTRIPLOW = 18.9V
For 5% hysteresis, VTH+ = 1.228 and VTH- = 1.167.
1) Choose RTOTAL = 4.2M= R1 + R2 + R3
2) Calculate R3
3) Calculate R2

Monitoring Voltages Other than VCC
The MAX6457–MAX6460 can monitor voltages other than
VCC (Figure 12). Calculate VTRIP as shown in the
Programming the Trip Voltage (V
TRIP
)
section. The moni-
tored voltage (VMON) is independent of VCC. VIN+ must
be within the specified operating range: 0 to VCC.
Interfacing to Voltages Other than VCC
The open-drain outputs of the MAX6457–MAX6460
allow the output voltage to be selected independent of
VCC. For systems requiring an output voltage other than
VCC, connect the pullup resistor between OUT, OUTA, or
OUTB and any desired voltage up to 28V (see Figure 13).
Monitoring Negative Voltages
Figure 14 shows the typical application circuit for moni-
toring negative voltages (VNEG) using the MAX6460.
Select a value for R1 between 25kand 1M. Use the
following equation to select R2:
where VREF = 2.25V and VNEG < 0. VIN+ must always
be within the specified operating range: 0 to VCC.
