General Description
The MAX6854/MAX6855/MAX6856/MAX6858/MAX6860–
MAX6869 ultra-low-current (170nA, typ) microprocessor
(µP) supervisory circuits combine voltage monitoring,
watchdog timer, and manual reset input functions in a 5-
pin SOT23 package. These devices assert a reset signal
whenever the monitored voltage drops below the factory-
trimmed reset threshold voltage, manual reset is assert-
ed, or the watchdog timer expires. The reset output
remains asserted for a minimum timeout period after VCC
rises above the reset threshold and manual reset is
deasserted. Factory-trimmed reset threshold voltages
are offered from +1.575V to +4.625V in approximately
100mV increments (see Threshold Suffix Guide). Each
device is offered with six minimum reset timeout options,
ranging from 10ms to 1200ms.
The MAX6854/MAX6855/MAX6856/MAX6858/MAX6860–
MAX6869 are offered in a variety of configurations (see
the Selector Guide). The MAX6854/MAX6855/MAX6856/
MAX6861–MAX6869 provide a manual reset input, MR.
The MAX6864–MAX6869 offer a watchdog timer that
monitors activity at the WDI input to prevent code execu-
tion errors. The MAX6864–MAX6869 offer watchdog
timeout options of 3.3s or 209s (typ). The MAX6861/
MAX6862/MAX6863 feature a pin-selectable reset delay
period of 10ms or 150ms (min). Push-pull active-low,
push-pull active-high, and open-drain active-low reset
outputs are available. Applications

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
