General Description
The MAX6887/MAX6888 multivoltage supply supervi-
sors provide several voltage-detector inputs, one watch-
dog input, and three outputs. Each voltage-detector
input offers a factory-set undervoltage and overvoltage
threshold. Manual reset and margin disable inputs offer
additional flexibility.
The MAX6887 offers six voltage-detector inputs, while
the MAX6888 offers four inputs. Output RESET asserts
when any input voltage drops below its respective
undervoltage threshold or manual reset MR is asserted.
Output OV asserts when any input voltage exceeds its
respective overvoltage threshold. Monitor standard
supply voltages listed in the
Selector Guide
.
The MAX6887/MAX6888 offer a watchdog timer with an
initial and normal timeout periods of 102.4s and 1.6s,
respectively. Watchdog output WDO asserts when the
watchdog timer expires. Connect WDO to manual reset
input MR to generate resets when the watchdog timer
expires. RESET, OV, and WDO are active-low, open-
drain outputs.
The MAX6887/MAX6888 are available in a 5mm x 5mm
x 0.8mm, 16-pin thin QFN package and operate over
the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX6887/MAX6888 provide several supply-detector
inputs, one watchdog input, and three outputs for power-
supply monitoring applications. The MAX6887 offers six
voltage-detector inputs, while the MAX6888 offers four.
Each voltage-detector input offers both an undervoltage
and overvoltage threshold.
The undervoltage and overvoltage thresholds are facto-
ry-set for monitoring standard supply voltages (see the
Selector Guide
). Inputs in the
Selector Guide
that con-
tain “Adj” allow an external voltage-divider to be con-
nected to set a user-defined threshold.
RESET goes low when any input voltage drops below
its undervoltage threshold or when MR is brought low.
RESET stays low for 200ms after all assertion-causing
conditions have been cleared. OV goes low when an
input voltage rises above its overvoltage threshold. OV
typically stays low for 25µs (typ) after all inputs fall
back under their overvoltage thresholds.
The MAX6887/MAX6888 offer a watchdog timer with
initial and normal timeout periods of 102.4s and 1.6s,
respectively. WDO goes low when the watchdog timer
expires and deasserts when WDI transitions from low-
to-high or high-to-low.
Powering the MAX6887/MAX6888
The MAX6887/MAX6888 derive power from the voltage-
detector inputs IN1–IN4 or through an externally sup-
plied VCC. A virtual diode-ORing scheme selects the
positive input that supplies power to the device (see
the
Functional Diagram
). The highest input voltage on
IN1–IN4 supplies power to the device. One of IN1–IN4
must be at least 2.7V to ensure proper operation.
Internal hysteresis ensures that the supply input that
initially powered the device continues to power the
device when multiple input voltages are within 50mV of
each other.
VCC powers the analog circuitry and is the bypass con-
nection for the MAX6887/MAX6888 internal supply.
Bypass VCC to GND with a 1µF ceramic capacitor
installed as close to the device as possible. The inter-
nal supply voltage, measured at VCC, equals the maxi-
mum of IN1–IN4. If VCC is externally supplied, VCC
must be at least 200mV higher than any voltage
applied to IN1–IN4 and VCC must be brought up first.
VCC always powers the device when all IN_ are factory
set as “Adj.” Do not use the internally generated VCC to
provide power to external circuitry.
The MAX6887/MAX6888 generate a supply voltage at
BP for the internal logic circuitry. Bypass BP to GND with
a 1µF ceramic capacitor installed as close to the device
as possible. The nominal BP output voltage is +2.55V.
Do not use BP to provide power to external circuitry.
Inputs
The MAX6887 offers six voltage-detector inputs, while
the MAX6888 offers four voltage-detector inputs. Each
voltage-detector input offers an undervoltage and over-
voltage threshold set at the factory to monitor standard
supply voltages (see the
Selector Guide
). The 5% and
10% tolerances are based on maximum and minimum
threshold values. Actual thresholds for the
MAX6887/MAX6888 are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
Inputs in the
Selector Guide
listing “Adj” allow an exter-
nal voltage-divider to be connected to set a user-
defined threshold.
Adjustable Threshold Inputs
Inputs listed in the
Selector Guide
containing “Adj” for
inputs allow external resistor voltage-dividers to be
connected at the voltage-detector inputs. These inputs
monitor any voltage supply higher than 0.6V (see
Figure 1). Use the following equation to set a voltage-

detector input (IN1–IN6) to monitor a user-defined sup-
ply voltage:
where VMON is the desired voltage to be monitored.
Use the following procedure to design the proper volt-
age-divider and calculate thresholds:
1) Pick a value for R2. Use the equation above with
the desired supply voltage to be monitored and
solve for R1. Use high-value resistors R1 and R2 to
minimize current consumption due to low leakage
currents.
2) To find the actual undervoltage and overvoltage
thresholds, use the following equations:
VREFUV and VREFOV are the undervoltage and overvolt-
age thresholds listed in Tables 1 and 2 that allow
adjustable thresholds. Their values are based on toler-
ances of ±7.5% and ±12.5% from a 0.6V reference.
See the
Selector Guide
to find which thresholds in
Tables 1 and 2 are adjustable.
Manual Reset (MR)
Many µP-based products require manual reset capability
to allow an operator or external logic circuitry to initiate a
reset. The manual reset input (MR) can be connected
directly to a switch without an external pullup resistor or
debouncing network. MR is internally pulled up to BP.
Leave unconnected if not used. MR is internally pulled
up to BP through a 10µA current source. MR is designed
to reject fast, falling transients (typically 100ns pulses)
and MR must be held low for a minimum of 1µs to assert
RESET. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to ground to
provide additional noise immunity. After MR transitions
from low to high, RESET remains asserted for the dura-
tion of its time delay.

plies exceed the normal operating ranges. Drive

existing state while system-level testing occurs. Leave
MARGIN unconnected or connect to BP if unused. An
internal 10µA current source pulls MARGIN to BP.
MARGIN overrides MR if both are asserted at the
same time. The state of RESET, OV, and WDO does not
change while MARGIN = GND.

Outputs
The MAX6887/MAX6888 feature three active-low open-
drain outputs: RESET, OV, and WDO. After power-up or
overvoltage/undervoltage conditions, RESET and OV
remain in their active states until their timeout periods
expire and no undervoltage/overvoltage conditions are
present (see Figure 2).
OV asserts when any monitored input is above its over-
voltage threshold and remains asserted until all inputs
are below their thresholds and its respective 25µs time-
out period expires. Connect OV to MR to bring RESET
low during an overvoltage condition. OV requires a
pullup resistor (unless connected to MR).
RESET asserts when any monitored input is below its
undervoltage threshold or MR is asserted. RESET
remains asserted for 200ms after all assertion-causing
conditions have been cleared. Configure RESET to
assert when the watchdog timer expires by connecting
WDO to MR. RESET requires a pullup resistor.
WDO asserts when the watchdog timer expires. See
the
Configuring the Watchdog Timer
section for a com-
plete description. WDO requires a pullup resistor.
Configuring the Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer monitors microprocessor (µP) soft-
ware execution for a stalled condition and resets the µP
if it stalls. Connect the watchdog timer output WDO to
the reset input or a nonmaskable interrupt of the µP.
The watchdog timer features independent initial and
normal watchdog timeout periods of 102.4s and 1.6s,
respectively.

Figure 3. Watchdog, Reset, and Power-Up Timing Diagram
At power-up, WDO goes high after tD-PO (see Figure 3).
The initial watchdog timeout period (tWDI) applies imme-
diately after WDO is high. The initial watchdog timeout
period allows the µP to perform its initialization process.
A normal watchdog timeout period (tWD) applies when-
ever WDI transitions from high to low after the initial
watchdog timeout period occurs. WDI monitors the tog-
gling output of the µP, indicating normal processor
behavior. If WDI does not toggle during the normal
watchdog timeout period (tWD), indicating that the
processor has stopped operating or is stuck in an infinite
execution loop, WDO goes low. WDO stays low until the
next transition on WDI. An initial watchdog timeout peri-
od (tWDI) starts when WDO goes high.
If WDO is connected to MR, the WDO will assert for a
short duration (~5µs), long enough to assert the RESET
output. Asserting RESET clears the watchdog timer and
WDO goes high. The reset output will remain asserted
for its timeout period after a watchdog fault. The watch-
dog timer stays cleared as long as RESET is low.
Applications Information
Layout and Bypassing
For better noise immunity, bypass each of the voltage-
detector inputs to GND with 0.1µF capacitors installed
as close to the device as possible. Bypass VCC and BP
to GND with 1µF capacitors installed as close to the
device as possible. VCC (when not externally supplied)
and BP are internally generated voltages and should
not be used to supply power to external circuitry.
