3 Pin, Low-Power, µP Reset Circuits
Description
• The MAX6333 and 6332 are system super visor
circuits designed to monitor VCC in digital systems
and provide a reset signal to the host processor
when necessar y. No exter nal components are
required.
• When the processor power supply voltage drops
below the reset threshold, the reset output is driven
active, in less than 40µs (TD1). Reset is main-
tained active for a time per iod (TD2), after the Vcc
rises above the threshold voltage.
• To prevent jitter, the reset threshold voltage has a
built-in hysteresis of 0.4% of VTH.
• The MAX6333 has an active-low reset output,
while the MAX6332 has an active-high reset
output. Both devices have push/pull output drives.
• The reset signal is guaranteed valid, down to
Vcc = 1.0V.
• Low supply current of 3µA makes these devices
well suited for batter y powered applications.They
are designed to reject fast transients from causing
false resets.
• Both devices are available in a space-saving
SOT-23 package.
Features
• Tight reset voltage tolerances ± 1.8%
• Low supply current: <3µA
• Precision monitoring of 1.8V and 2.5V
powersupply voltages
• Other threshold voltage options available from
1.5V to 2.5V in approximately 100mV increments
• Three reset active time-out period options:
typical 1.5mS, 30mS, 150mS
• Reset output guaranteed down to 1.0V
• Vcc transient immunity
• No exter nal components
