_______________General Description
These microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits reduce
the complexity and number of components required for
power-supply monitoring and battery-control functions
in µP systems. They significantly improve system relia-
bility and accuracy compared to separate ICs or
discrete components.
These devices are designed for use in systems powered
by 3.0V or 3.3V supplies. See the selector guide in the
back of this data sheet for similar devices designed for
5V systems. The suffixes denote different reset threshold
voltages: 3.075V (T), 2.925V (S), and 2.625V (R) (see the
Reset Threshold section in the Detailed Description). All
these parts are available in 8-pin DIP and SO packages.
Functions offered in this series are as follows:

Note 2: Tested at VBATT = 3.6V, VCC = 3.5V and 0V. The battery current will rise to 10µA over a narrow transition window around
VCC = 1.9V.
Note 3: Leakage current into the battery is tested under the worst-case conditions at VCC = 5.5V, VBATT = 1.8V and at VCC = 1.5V,
VBATT= 1.0V.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design.
Note 5: When VSW > VCC > VBATT, VOUT remains connected to VCC until VCC drops below VBATT. The VCC-to-VBATT comparator
has a small 25mV typical hysteresis to prevent oscillation. For VCC < 1.75V (typ), VOUT switches to VBATT regardless of the
voltage on VBATT.
Note 6: When VBATT > VCC > VSW, VOUT remains connected to VCC until VCC drops below the battery switch threshold (VSW).
Note 7: VOUT switches from VBATT to VCC when VCC rises above the reset threshold, independent of VBATT. Switchover back to
VCC occurs at the exact voltage that causes
R
E
S
E
T
to go high (on the MAX804_/805_, RESET goes low); however
switchover occurs 200ms prior to reset.
Note 8: The reset threshold tolerance is wider for VCC rising than for VCC falling to accommodate the 10mV typical hysteresis, which
prevents internal oscillation.
Note 9: The leakage current into or out of the RESET pin is tested with RESET asserted (RESET output high impedance).

_______________Detailed Description
Reset Output
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a
known state. These µP supervisory circuits assert reset to
prevent code execution errors during power-up, power-
down, brownout conditions, or a watchdog timeout.
R
E
S
E
T
is guaranteed to be a logic low for 0V < VCC <
VRST, provided that VBATT is greater than 1V. Without
a backup battery,
R
E
S
E
T
is guaranteed valid for VCC
> 1V. Once VCC exceeds the reset threshold, an
internal timer keeps
R
E
S
E
T
low for the reset timeout
period; after this interval,
R
E
S
E
T
goes high (Figure 2).
If a brownout condition occurs (VCC dips below the
reset threshold),
R
E
S
E
T
goes low. Each time
R
E
S
E
T
is asserted, it stays low for the reset timeout period.
Any time VCC goes below the reset threshold, the
internal timer restarts.
The watchdog timer can also initiate a reset. See the
Watchdog Input section.
The MAX804_/MAX805_ active-high RESET output is
open drain, and the inverse of the MAX690_/MAX704_/
MAX802_/MAX806_

output.
Reset Threshold
The MAX690T/MAX704T/MAX805T are intended for
3.3V systems with a ±5% power-supply tolerance and a
10% system tolerance. Except for watchdog faults,
reset will not assert as long as the power supply
remains above 3.15V (3.3V - 5%). Reset is guaranteed
to assert before the power supply falls below 3.0V.
The MAX690S/MAX704S/MAX805S are designed for
3.3V ±10% power supplies. Except for watchdog
faults, they are guaranteed not to assert reset as long
as the supply remains above 3.0V (3.3V - 10%). Reset
is guaranteed to assert before the power supply falls
below 2.85V (VCC - 14%).
The MAX690R/MAX704R/MAX805R are optimized for
monitoring 3.0V ±10% power supplies. Reset will not
occur until VCC falls below 2.7V (3.0V - 10%), but is
guaranteed to occur before the supply falls below
2.59V (3.0V - 14%).
The MAX802R/S/T, MAX804R/S/T, and MAX806R/S/T
are respectively similar to the MAX690R/S/T,
MAX805R/S/T, and MAX704R/S/T, but with tightened
reset and power-fail threshold tolerances.

1 VOUT
Supply Output for CMOS RAM. When VCC is above the reset threshold, VOUT is
connected to VCC through a p-channel MOSFET switch. When VCC falls below VSW and
VBATT, VBATT connects to VOUT. Connect to VCC if no battery is used.

Active-Low Reset Output. Pulses low for 200ms when triggered, and stays low whenever
VCC is below the reset threshold or when
M
R
is a logic low. It remains low for 200ms after
either VCC rises above the reset threshold, the watchdog triggers a reset, or
M
R
goes
from low to high.
M
R
Manual Reset Input. A logic low on
M
R
asserts reset. Reset remains asserted as long as
M
R
is low and for 200ms after
M
R
returns high. This active-low input has an internal
70µA pullup current. It can be driven from a TTL or CMOS logic line, or shorted to ground
with a switch. Leave open if unused.
6WDI
Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low for 1.6s, the internal watchdog timer runs out
and reset is triggered. The internal watchdog timer clears while reset is asserted or when
WDI sees a rising or falling edge. The watchdog function cannot be disabled.

8 VBATT
Backup-Battery Input. When VCC falls below VSW and VBATT, VOUT switches from VCC to
VBATT. When VCC rises above the reset threshold, VOUT reconnects to VCC. VBATT may
exceed VCC. Connect to VCC if no battery is used.

Watchdog Input
(MAX690_/802_/804_/805_)
The watchdog circuit monitors the µP’s activity. If the µP
does not toggle the watchdog input (WDI) within 1.6sec,
a reset pulse is triggered. The internal 1.6sec timer is
cleared by either a reset pulse or by a transition (low-to-
high or high-to-low) at WDI. If WDI is tied high or low, a
R
E
S
E
T
pulse is triggered every 1.8sec (tWD plus tRS).
As long as reset is asserted, the timer remains cleared
and does not count. As soon as reset is deasserted,
the timer starts counting. Unlike the 5V MAX690 family,
the watchdog function cannot be disabled.
Power-Fail Comparator
The PFI input is compared to an internal reference. If
PFI is less than VPFT,
P
F
O
goes low. The power-fail
comparator is intended for use as an undervoltage
detector to signal a failing power supply. However, the
comparator does not need to be dedicated to this
function because it is completely separate from the rest
of the circuitry.
The power-fail comparator turns off and
P
F
O
goes low
when VCC falls below VSW on power-down. The power-
fail comparator turns on as VCC crosses VSW on
power-up. If the comparator is not used, connect PFI to
ground and leave
P
F
O
unconnected.
P
F
O
may be
connected to
M
R
on the MAX704_/MAX806_ so that a
low voltage on PFI will generate a reset (Figure 5b).

Backup-Battery Switchover
In the event of a brownout or power failure, it may be
necessary to preserve the contents of RAM. With a
backup battery installed at VBATT, the devices auto-
matically switch RAM to backup power when VCC
falls.
This family of µP supervisors (designed for 3.3V and 3V
systems) doesn’t always connect VBATT to VOUT when
VBATT is greater than VCC. VBATT connects to VOUT
(through a 140Ωswitch) when VCC is below VSW and
VBATT is greater than VCC, or when VCC falls below
1.75V (typ) regardless of the VBATT voltage. This is
done to allow the backup battery (e.g., a 3.6V lithium
cell) to have a higher voltage than VCC.
Switchover at VSW (2.40V) ensures that battery-backup
mode is entered before VOUT gets too close to the 2.0V
minimum required to reliably retain data in CMOS RAM.
Switchover at higher VCC voltages would decrease
backup-battery life. When VCC recovers, switchover is
deferred until VCC rises above the reset threshold
(VRST) to ensure a stable supply. VOUT is connected to
VCC through a 3ΩPMOS power switch.
Manual Reset
A logic low on
M
R
asserts reset. Reset remains asserted
while
M
R
is low, and for tWP (200ms) after
M
R
returns
high. This input has an internal 70µA pull-up current, so
it can be left open if it is not used.
M
R
can be driven with
TTL or CMOS logic levels, or with open-drain/collector
outputs. Connect a normally open momentary switch
from
M
R
to GND to create a manual-reset function;
external debounce circuitry is not required.
__________Applications Information
These µP supervisory circuits are not short-circuit
protected. Shorting VOUT to ground—excluding power-
up transients such as charging a decoupling
capacitor—destroys the device. Decouple both VCC
and VBATT pins to ground by placing 0.1µF capacitors
as close to the device as possible.
Using a SuperCap
as a Backup Power Source
SuperCaps™ are capacitors with extremely high
capacitance values (e.g., order of 0.47F) for their size.
Figure 3 shows two ways to use a SuperCap as a
backup power source. The SuperCap may be
connected through a diode to the 3V input (Figure 3a)
or, if a 5V supply is also available, the SuperCap may
be charged up to the 5V supply (Figure 3b) allowing a
longer backup period. Since VBATT can exceed VCC
while VCC is above the reset threshold, there are no
special precautions when using these µP supervisors
with a SuperCap.
Operation without a Backup
Power Source
These µP supervisors were designed for battery-
backed applications. If a backup battery is not used,
connect both VBATT and VOUT to VCC, or use a
different µP supervisor such as the MAX706T/S/R or
MAX708T/S/R.
Replacing the Backup Battery
The backup power source can be removed while VCC
remains valid, if VBATT is decoupled with a 0.1µF
capacitor to ground, without danger of triggering
RESET/
R
E
S
E
T
. As long as VCC stays above VSW,
battery-backup mode cannot be entered.
Adding Hysteresis
to the Power-Fail Comparator
The power-fail comparator has a typical input
hysteresis of 10mV. This is sufficient for most applica-
tions where a power-supply line is being monitored
through an external voltage divider (see the Monitoring
an Additional Power Supply section).
If additional noise margin is desired, connect a resistor
between
P
F
O
and PFI as shown in Figure 4a. Select
the ratio of R1 and R2 such that PFI sees 1.237V (VPFT)
when VIN falls to its trip point (VTRIP). R3 adds the
hysteresis and will typically be more than 10 times the
value of R1 or R2. The hysteresis window extends both
above (VH) and below (VL) the original trip point (VTRIP).

Table 1. Input and Output Status in

Connecting an ordinary signal diode in series with R3,
as shown in Figure 4b, causes the lower trip point (VL)
to coincide with the trip point without hysteresis (VTRIP),
so the entire hysteresis window occurs above VTRIP.
This method provides additional noise margin without
compromising the accuracy of the power-fail threshold
when the monitored voltage is falling. It is useful for
accurately detecting when a voltage falls past a
threshold.
The current through R1 and R2 should be at least 1µA to
ensure that the 25nA (max over extended temperature
range) PFI input current does not shift the trip point. R3
should be larger than 10kΩso it does not load down the
P
F
O
pin. Capacitor C1 adds additional noise rejection.
Monitoring an Additional Power Supply
These µP supervisors can monitor either positive or
negative supplies using a resistor voltage divider to
PFI.
P
F
O
can be used to generate an interrupt to the
µP (Figure 5). Connecting
P
F
O
to
M
R
on the MAX704
and MAX806 causes reset to assert when the
monitored supply goes out of tolerance. Reset remains
asserted as long as
P
F
O
holds
M
R
low, and for 200ms
after
P
F
O
goes high.
Interfacing to µPs
with Bidirectional Reset Pins
µPs with bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola
68HC11 series, can contend with the MAX690_/
MAX704_/MAX802_/MAX806_
R
E
S
E
T
output. If, for
example, the
R
E
S
E
T
output is driven high and the µP
wants to pull it low, indeterminate logic levels may
result. To correct this, connect a 4.7kΩresistor
between the
R
E
S
E
T
output and the µP reset I/O, as in
Figure 6. Buffer the
R
E
S
E

output to other system
components.
Negative-Going VCC Transients
While issuing resets to the µP during power-up, power-
down, and brownout conditions, these supervisors are
relatively immune to short-duration negative-going VCC
transients (glitches). It is usually undesirable to reset
the µP when VCC experiences only small glitches.
Figure 7 shows maximum transient duration vs. reset-
comparator overdrive, for which reset pulses are not
generated. The graph was produced using negative-
going VCC pulses, starting at 3.3V and ending below
the reset threshold by the magnitude indicated (reset
comparator overdrive). The graph shows the maximum
pulse width a negative-going VCC transient may
typically have without causing a reset pulse to be
issued. 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 40µs or less will not cause a
reset pulse to be issued.
A 100nF bypass capacitor mounted close to the VCC
pin provides additional transient immunity.
