MAX6753KA29+T - Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.

General Description

The MAX6746–MAX6753 low-power microprocessor

(µP) supervisory circuits monitor single/dual system

supply voltages from 1.575V to 5V and provide maxi-

mum adjustability for reset and watchdog functions.

These devices assert a reset signal whenever the VCC

supply voltage or RESET IN falls below its reset thresh-

old or when manual reset is pulled low. The reset output

remains asserted for the reset timeout period after VCC

and RESET IN rise above the reset threshold. The reset

function features immunity to power-supply transients.

The MAX6746–MAX6753 have ±2% factory-trimmed

reset threshold voltages in approximately 100mV incre-

ments from 1.575V to 5.0V and/or adjustable reset

threshold voltages using external resistors.

The reset and watchdog delays are adjustable with

external capacitors. The MAX6746–MAX6751 contain a

watchdog select input that extends the watchdog time-

out period by 128x. The MAX6752/MAX6753 contain a

window watchdog timer that looks for activity outside an

expected window of operation.

The MAX6746–MAX6753 are available with a push-pull

or open-drain active-low RESET output. The MAX6746–

MAX6753 are available in an 8-pin SOT23 package and

are fully specified over the automotive temperature

range (-40°C to +125°C).

Watchdog Timeout Input.

MAX6746–MAX6751: Connect a capacitor between SWT and ground to

set the basic watchdog timeout period (tWD). Determine the period by

the formula tWD = 5.06 x 106 x CSWT with tWD in seconds and CSWT in

Farads. Extend the basic watchdog timeout period by using the WDS

input. Connect SWT to ground to disable the watchdog timer function.

MAX6752/MAX6753: Connect a capacitor between SWT and ground to

set the slow watchdog timeout period (tWD2). Determine the slow

watchdog period by the formula: tWD2 = 0.65 x 109 x CSWT with tWD2 in

Watchdog Select Input. WDS selects the watchdog mode. Connect

WDS to ground to select normal mode and the watchdog timeout

period. Connect WDS to VCC to select extended mode, multiplying the

6 6 6 WDI

Watchdog Input.

MAX6746–MAX6751: A falling transition must occur on WDI within the

selected watchdog timeout period or a reset pulse occurs. The

watchdog timer clears when a transition occurs on WDI or whenever

RESET is asserted. Connect SWT to ground to disable the watchdog

timer function.

MAX6752/MAX6753: WDI falling transitions within periods shorter than

tWD1 or longer than tWD2 force RESET to assert low for the reset timeout

period. The watchdog timer begins to count after RESET is deasserted.

The watchdog timer clears when a valid transition occurs on WDI or

whenever RESET is asserted. Connect SET0 high and SET1 low to

disable the watchdog timer function. See the Watchdog Timer section.

777RESET

Push/Pull or Open-Drain Reset Output. RESET asserts whenever VCC or

RESET IN drops below the selected reset threshold voltage (VTH or

VRESET IN, respectively) or manual reset is pulled low. RESET remains

low for the reset timeout period after all reset conditions are deasserted,

and then goes high. The watchdog timer triggers a reset pulse (tRP)

whenever a watchdog fault occurs.

888V

CC Supply Voltage. VCC is the power-supply input and the input for fixed

threshold VCC monitor.

Detailed Description

The MAX6746–MAX6753 assert a reset signal whenever

the VCC supply voltage or RESET IN falls below its reset

threshold. The reset output remains asserted for the

reset timeout period after VCC and RESET IN rise above

its respective reset threshold. A watchdog timer triggers

a reset pulse whenever a watchdog fault occurs.

The reset and watchdog delays are adjustable with

external capacitors. The MAX6746–MAX6751 contain a

watchdog select input that extends the watchdog time-

out period to 128x.

The MAX6752 and MAX6753 have a sophisticated

watchdog timer that detects when the processor is run-

ning outside an expected window of operation. The

watchdog signals a fault when the input pulses arrive too

early (faster that the selected tWD1 timeout period) or too

late (slower than the selected tWD2 timeout period) (see

Figure 1).

Reset Output

The reset output is typically connected to the reset input

of a µP. A µP’s reset input starts or restarts the µP in a

known state. The MAX6746–MAX6753 µP supervisory

circuits provide the reset logic to prevent code-execu-

tion errors during power-up, power-down, and

brownout conditions (see the

Typical Operating Circuit

RESET changes from high to low whenever the moni-

tored voltage, RESET IN and/or VCC drop below the

reset threshold voltages. Once VRESET IN and/or VCC

exceeds its respective reset threshold voltage(s),

RESET remains low for the reset timeout period, then

goes high.

RESET is guaranteed to be in the correct logic state for

VCC greater than 1V. For applications requiring valid

reset logic when VCC is less than 1V, see the section

Ensuring a Valid RESET Output Down to V

= 0V.

RESET IN Threshold

The MAX6748–MAX6751 monitor the voltage on RESET IN

using an adjustable reset threshold (VRESET IN) set with

an external resistor voltage-divider (Figure 2). Use the

following formula to calculate the externally monitored

voltage (VMON_TH):

VMON_TH = VRESET IN x (R1 + R2) / R2

where VMON_TH is the desired reset threshold voltage

and VTH is the reset input threshold (1.235V). Resistors

R1 and R2 can have very high values to minimize cur-

rent consumption due to low leakage currents. Set R2

to some conveniently high value (500kΩ, for example)

and calculate R1 based on the desired reset threshold

voltage, using the following formula:

R1 = R2 x (VMON_TH/VRESET IN - 1) (Ω)

The MAX6748 and MAX6749 do not monitor VCC sup-

ply voltage, therefore, VCC must be greater than 1.5V to

guarantee RESET IN threshold accuracy and timing

performance. The MAX6748 and MAX6749 can be con-

figured to monitor VCC voltage by connecting VCC to

VMON_TH.

Dual-Voltage Monitoring

(MAX6750/MAX6751)

The MAX6750 and MAX6751 contain both factory-

trimmed threshold voltages and an adjustable reset

threshold input, allowing the monitoring of two voltages,

VCC and VMON_TH (see Figure 2). RESET is asserted

when either of the voltages falls below it respective

threshold voltages.

Manual Reset (MAX6746/MAX6747)

Many µP-based products require manual reset capabil-

ity, to allow an operator or external logic circuitry to initi-

ate a reset. The manual reset input (MR) can connect

directly to a switch without an external pullup resistor or

debouncing network. MR is internally pulled up to VCC

and, therefore, can be left unconnected if unused.

MR is designed to reject fast, falling transients (typically

100ns pulses) and it must be held low for a minimum of

1µs to assert the reset output. A 0.1µF capacitor from

MR to ground provides additional noise immunity. After

MR transitions from low to high, reset remains asserted

for the duration of the reset timeout period.

A manual reset option can easily be implemented

with the MAX6748–MAX6751 by connecting a normally

open momentary switch in parallel with R2 (Figure 3).

When the switch is closed, the voltage on RESET IN

goes to zero, initiating a reset. Similar to the MAX6746/

MAX6747 manual reset, reset remains asserted while

the voltage at RESET IN is zero and for the reset time-

out period after the switch is opened.

Watchdog Timer

MAX6746–MAX6751

The watchdog’s circuit monitors the µP’s activity. It the

µP does not toggle the watchdog input (WDI) within

tWD (user-selected), RESET asserts for the reset time-

out period. The internal watchdog timer is cleared by

any event that asserts RESET, by a falling transition at

WDI (which can detect pulses as short as 300ns) or by

a transition at WDS. The watchdog timer remains

cleared while reset is asserted; as soon as reset is

released, the timer starts counting.

The MAX6746–MAX6751 feature two modes of watch-

dog operation: normal mode and extended mode. In nor-

mal mode (Figure 4a), the watchdog timeout period is

determined by the value of the capacitor connected

between SWT and ground. In extended mode (Figure

4b), the watchdog timeout period is multiplied by 128.

For example, in extended mode, a 0.1µF capacitor gives

a watchdog timeout period of 65s (see the Extended-

Mode Watchdog Timeout Period vs. CSWT graph in the

Typical Operating Characteristics

). To disable the watch-

dog timer function, connect SWT to ground.

MAX6752/MAX6753

The MAX6752 and MAX6753 have a windowed watch-

dog timer that asserts RESET for the adjusted reset

timeout period when the watchdog recognizes a fast

watchdog fault (tWDI < tWD1), or a slow watchdog fault

(period > tWD2). The reset timeout period is adjusted

independently of the watchdog timeout period.

The slow watchdog period, tWD2 is calculated as follows:

tWD2 = 0.65 x 109 x CSWT

with tWD2 in seconds and CSWT in Farads.

The fast watchdog period, tWD1, is selectable as a ratio

from the slow watchdog fault period (tWD2). Select the

fast watchdog period by pinstrapping SET0 and SET1,

where HIGH is VCC and LOW is GND. Table 1 illus-

trates the SET0 and SET1 configuration for the 8, 16,

and 64 window ratio ( tWD2/tWD1).

For example, if CSWT is 1500pF, and SET0 and SET1 are

low, then tWD2 is 975ms (typ) and tWD1 is 122ms (typ).

RESET asserts if the watchdog input has two falling

edges too close to each other (faster than tWD1) (Figure

5a) or falling edges that are too far apart (slower than

tWD2) (Figure 5b). Normal watchdog operation is dis-

played in (Figure 5c). The internal watchdog timer is

cleared when a WDI falling edge is detected within the

valid watchdog window or when RESET is deasserted.

All WDI inputs are ignored while RESET is asserted.

The watchdog timer begins to count after RESET is

deasserted. The watchdog timer clears and begins to

count after a valid WDI falling logic input. WDI falling

transitions within periods shorter than tWD1 or longer

than tWD2 force RESET to assert low for the reset time-

out period. WDI falling transitions within the tWD1 and

tWD2 window do not assert RESET. WDI transitions

between tWD1(min) and tWD1(max) or tWD2(min) and

tWD2(max) are not guaranteed to assert or deassert the

RESET. To guarantee that the window watchdog does

not assert the RESET, strobe WDI between tWD1(max)

and tWD2(min). The watchdog timer is cleared when

RESET is asserted or after a falling transition on WDI or

after a state change on SET0 or SET1. Disable the

watchdog timer by connecting SET0 high and SET1 low.

Applications Information

Selecting Reset/Watchdog

Timeout Capacitor

The reset timeout period is adjustable to accommodate

a variety of µP applications. Adjust the reset timeout

period (tRP) by connecting a capacitor (CSRT) between

SRT and ground. Calculate the reset timeout capacitor

as folllows:

CSRT = tRP / (5.06 x 106)

with tRP in seconds and CSRT in Farads.

The watchdog timeout period is adjustable to accom-

modate a variety of µP applications. With this feature,

the watchdog timeout can be optimized for software

execution. The programmer can determine how often

the watchdog timer should be serviced. Adjust the

watchdog timeout period (tWD) by connecting a specif-

ic value capacitor (CSWT) between SWT and GND. For

normal mode operation, calculate the watchdog time-

out capacitor as follows:

CSWT = tWD/(5.06 x 106)

with tRP in seconds and CSRT in Farads.

For the MAX6752 and MAX6753 windowed watchdog

function, calculate the slow watchdog period, tWD2 as

follows:

tWD2 = 0.65 x 109x CSWT

CSRT and CSWT must be a low-leakage (< 10nA) type

capacitor. Ceramic capacitors are recommended.

Transient Immunity

In addition to issuing a reset to the µP during power-up,

power-down, and brownout conditions, these supervi-

sors are relatively immune to short-duration supply tran-

sients (glitches). The Maximum Transient Duration vs.

Reset Threshold Overdrive graph in the

Typical

Operating Characteristics

shows this relationship.

The area below the curves of the graph is the region

in which these devices typically do not generate a reset

pulse. This graph was generated using a falling pulse

applied to VCC , starting above the actual reset threshold

(VTH) and ending below it by the magnitude indicated

(reset-threshold overdrive). As the magnitude of the tran-

sient increases (farther below the reset threshold), the

maximum allowable pulse width decreases. Typically, a

VCC transient that goes 100mV below the reset threshold

and lasts 50µs or less does not cause a reset pulse to be

issued.

Interfacing to Other Voltages for

Logic Compatibility

The open-drain RESET output can be used to interface

to a µP with other logic levels. As shown in Figure 6, the

open-drain output can be connected to voltages from 0

to 6V.

Generally, the pullup resistor connected to the RESET

connects to the supply voltage that is being monitored

at the IC’s VCC pin. However, some systems can use

the open-drain output to level-shift from the monitored

supply to reset circuitry powered by some other supply.

Keep in mind that as the supervisor’s VCC decreases

towards 1V, so does the IC’s ability to sink current at

RESET. Also, with any pullup resistor, RESET is pulled

high as VCC decays toward zero. The voltage where

this occurs depends on the pullup resistor value and

the voltage to which it is connected.

Ensuring a Valid

RESET

Down to VCC = 0V

(Push-Pull

RESET

)

When VCC falls below 1V, RESET current sinking capabil-

ities decline drastically. The high-impedance CMOS-

logic inputs connected to RESET can drift to undeter-

mined voltages. This presents no problems in most

applications, since most µPs and other circuitry do not

operate with VCC below 1V.

In those applications where RESET must be valid down

to 0V, add a pulldown resistor between RESET and

GND for the MAX6746/MAX6748/MAX6750/MAX6752

push/pull outputs. The resistor sinks any stray leakage

currents, holding RESET low (Figure 7). The value of the

pulldown resistor is not critical; 100kΩis large enough

not to load RESET and small enough to pull RESET to

ground. The external pulldown can not be used with

the open-drain reset outputs.
