General Description
The MAX6730–MAX6735 single-/dual-/triple-voltage
microprocessor (µP) supervisors feature a watchdog
timer and manual reset capability. The MAX6730–
MAX6735 offer factory-set reset thresholds for monitor-
ing voltages from +0.9V to +5V and an adjustable reset
input for monitoring voltages down to +0.63V. The com-
bination of these features significantly improves system
reliability and accuracy when compared to separate
ICs or discrete components.
The active-low reset output asserts and remains asserted
for the reset timeout period after all the monitored volt-
ages exceed their respective thresholds. Multiple factory-
set reset threshold combinations reduce the number of
external components required. The MAX6730/MAX6731
monitor a single fixed voltage, the MAX6732/MAX6733
monitor two fixed voltages, and the MAX6734/MAX6735
monitor two fixed voltages and one adjustable voltage. All
devices are offered with six minimum reset timeout peri-
ods ranging from 1.1ms to 1120ms.
The MAX6730–MAX6735 feature a watchdog timer with
an independent watchdog output. The watchdog timer
prevents system lockup during code execution errors.
A watchdog startup delay of 54s after reset asserts
allows system initialization during power-up. The watch-
dog operates in normal mode with a 1.68s delay after
initialization. The MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734 provide
an active-low, open-drain watchdog output. The
MAX6731/MAX6733/MAX6735 provide an active-low,
push-pull watchdog output.
Other features include a manual reset input (MAX6730/
MAX6731/MAX6734/MAX6735) and push-pull reset out-
put (MAX6731/MAX6733/MAX6735) or open-drain reset
output (MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734). The MAX6730–
MAX6733 are offered in a tiny SOT23-6 package. The
MAX6734/MAX6735 are offered in a space-saving
SOT23-8 package. All devices are fully specified over
the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Ordering Information
*
Insert the threshold level suffixes for VCC1 and VCC2 (Table 1)
after “UT” or “KA.” For the MAX6730/MAX6731, insert only the
VCC1 threshold suffix after the “UT.” Insert the reset timeout
delay (Table 2) after “D” to complete the part number. For exam-
ple, the MAX6732UTLTD3-T provides a VCC1 threshold of
+4.625V, a VCC2 threshold of +3.075V, and a 210ms reset time-
out period. Sample stock is generally held on standard versions
only (see the Standard Versions table). Standard versions have
an order increment requirement of 2500 pieces. Nonstandard
versions have an order increment requirement of 10,000 pieces.

NAME FUNCTION
111RST
Active-Low Reset Output. The MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734 provide an open-drain
output. The MAX6731/MAX6733/MAX6735 provide a push-pull output. RST asserts
low when any of the following conditions occur: VCC1 or VCC2 drops below its
preset threshold, RSTIN drops below its reset threshold, or MR is driven low. Open-
drain versions require an external pullup resistor.
2 2 2 GND Ground
334WDO
Active-Low Watchdog Output. The MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734 provide an open-
drain WDO output. The MAX6731/MAX6733/MAX6735 provide a push-pull WDO
output. WDO asserts low when no low-to-high or high-to-low transition occurs on
WDI within the watchdog timeout period (tWD) or if an undervoltage lockout
condition exists for VCC1, VCC2, or RSTIN. WDO deasserts without a timeout period
when VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN exceed their reset thresholds, or when the manual
reset input is asserted. Open-drain versions require an external pullup resistor.
4—5MR
Active-Low Manual Reset Input. Drive MR low to force a reset. RST remains
asserted as long as MR is low and for the reset timeout period after MR releases
high. MR has a 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1; leave MR open or connect to VCC1 if
unused.
5 5 3 WDI
Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout
period, the internal watchdog timer expires and the watchdog output asserts low.
The internal watchdog timer clears whenever RST asserts or a rising or falling edge
on WDI is detected. The watchdog has an initial watchdog timeout period (35s min)
after each reset event and a short timeout period (1.12s min) after the first valid
WDI transition. Leaving WDI unconnected does not disable the watchdog timer
function.
668V
CC1Primary Supply-Voltage Input. VCC1 provides power to the device when it is greater
than VCC2. VCC1 is the input to the primary reset threshold monitor.
—4 6V
CC2Secondary Supply-Voltage Input. VCC2 provides power to the device when it is
greater than VCC1. VCC2 is the input to the secondary reset threshold monitor.
7 RSTIN
Undervoltage Reset Comparator Input. RSTIN provides a high-impedance
comparator input for the adjustable reset monitor. RST asserts low if the voltage at
RSTIN drops below the 626mV internal reference voltage. Connect a resistive
voltage-divider to RSTIN to monitor voltages higher than 626mV. Connect RSTIN to
VCC1 or VCC2 if unused.

Detailed Description
Supply Voltages
The MAX6730–MAX6735 microprocessor (µP) supervi-
sors maintain system integrity by alerting the µP to fault
conditions. The MAX6730–MAX6735 monitor one to
three supply voltages in µP-based systems and assert
an active-low reset output when any monitored supply
voltage drops below its preset threshold. The output
state remains valid for VCC1 or VCC2 greater than +0.8V.
Threshold Levels
The two-letter code in the Reset Voltage Threshold
Suffix Guide (Table 1) indicates the threshold level
combinations for VCC1 and VCC2.
Reset Output
The MAX6730–MAX6735 feature an active-low reset out-
put (RST). RST asserts when the voltage at either VCC1 or
VCC2 falls below the voltage threshold level, VRSTIN
drops below its threshold, or MR is driven low (Figure 1).
RST remains low for the reset timeout period (Table 2)
after VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN increase above their
respective thresholds and after MR releases high.
Whenever VCC1, VCC2, or RSTIN go below the reset
threshold before the end of the reset timeout period, the
internal timer restarts. The MAX6730/MAX6732/ MAX6734
provide an open-drain RST output, and the MAX6731/
MAX6733/MAX6735 provide a push-pull RST output.

Manual Reset Input
Many µP-based products require manual reset capabil-
ity, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external
logic circuitry to initiate a reset. A logic low on MR
asserts the reset output, clears the watchdog timer,
and deasserts the watchdog output. Reset remains
asserted while MR is low and for the reset timeout peri-
od (tRP) after MR returns high. An internal 50kΩpullup
resistor allows MR to be left open if unused. Drive MR
with TTL or CMOS-logic levels or with open-drain/col-
lector outputs. Connect a normally open momentary
switch from MR to GND to create a manual reset func-
tion; external debounce circuitry is not required.
Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND to provide
additional noise immunity when driving MR over long
cables or if the device is used in a noisy environment.
Adjustable Input Voltage (RSTIN)
The MAX6734/MAX6735 provide an additional high-
impedance comparator input with a 626mV threshold to
monitor a third supply voltage. To monitor a voltage
higher than 626mV, connect a resistive-divider to the
circuit as shown in Figure 2 to establish an externally
controlled threshold voltage, VEXT_TH.

The RSTIN comparator derives power from VCC1, and
the input voltage must remain less than or equal to
VCC1. Low leakage current at RSTIN allows the use of
large-valued resistors, resulting in reduced power con-
sumption of the system.
Watchdog
The watchdog feature monitors µP activity through
the watchdog input (WDI). A rising or falling edge on
WDI within the watchdog timeout period (tWD) indi-
cates normal µP operation. WDO asserts low if WDI
remains high or low for longer than the watchdog
timeout period. Leaving WDI unconnected does not
disable the watchdog timer.
The MAX6730–MAX6735 include a dual-mode watch-
dog timer to monitor µP activity. The flexible timeout
architecture provides a long-period initial watchdog
mode, allowing complicated systems to complete
lengthy boots, and a short-period normal watchdog
mode, allowing the supervisor to provide quick alerts
when processor activity fails. After each reset event
(VCC power-up, brownout, or manual reset), there is a
long initial watchdog period of 35s (min). The long
watchdog period mode provides an extended time for
the system to power up and fully initialize all µP and
system components before assuming responsibility for
routine watchdog updates.
The usual watchdog timeout period (1.12s min) begins
after the initial watchdog timeout period (tWD-L) expires
or after the first transition on WDI (Figure 3). During nor-
mal operating mode, the supervisor asserts the WDO
output if the µP does not update the WDI with a valid
transition (high to low or low to high) within the standard
timeout period (tWD-S) (1.12s min).
Connect MR to WDO to force a system reset in the
event that no rising or falling edge is detected at WDI
within the watchdog timeout period. WDO asserts low
when no edge is detected by WDI, the RST output
asserts low, the watchdog counter immediately clears,
and WDO returns high. The watchdog counter restarts,
using the long watchdog period, when the reset timeout
period ends (Figure 4).
Ensuring a Valid RESET
Output Down to VCC = 0V
The MAX6730–MAX6735 guarantee proper operation
down to VCC = +0.8V. In applications that require valid
reset levels down to VCC = 0V, use a 100kΩpulldown
resistor from RST to GND. The resistor value used is not
critical, but it must be large enough not to load the
reset output when VCC is above the reset threshold. For
most applications, 100kΩis adequate. Note that this
configuration does not work for the open-drain outputs
of MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734.

Applications Information
Interfacing to µPs with Bidirectional
Reset Pins
Microprocessors with bidirectional reset pins can inter-
face directly with the open-drain RST output options.
However, conditions might occur in which the push-pull
output versions experience logic contention with the
bidirectional reset pin of the µP. Connect a 10kΩresis-
tor between RST and the µP’s reset I/O port to prevent
logic contention (Figure 5).
Falling VCC Transients
The MAX6730–MAX6735 µP supervisors are relatively
immune to short-duration falling VCC_ transients (glitch-
es). Small glitches on VCC_ are ignored by the
MAX6730–MAX6735, preventing undesirable reset
pulses to the µP. The

Overdrive, for which reset pulses are not generated.
The graph was produced using falling VCC_ pulses,
starting above VTH and ending below the reset thresh-
old by the magnitude indicated (reset threshold over-
drive). The graph shows the maximum pulse width that
a falling VCC transient typically might have without
causing a reset pulse to be issued. As the amplitude of
the transient increases (i.e., goes further below the
reset threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width
decreases. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor mounted close to
VCC_ provides additional transient immunity.
Watchdog Software Considerations
Setting and resetting the watchdog input at different
points in the program rather than “pulsing” the watch-
dog input high-low-high or low-high-low helps the
watchdog timer closely monitor software execution.
This technique avoids a “stuck” loop, in which the
watchdog timer continues to be reset within the loop,
preventing the watchdog from timing out. Figure 6
shows an example flow diagram in which the I/O dri-
ving the watchdog input is set high at the beginning of
the program, set low at the beginning of every subrou-
tine or loop, and then set high again when the program
returns to the beginning. If the program “hangs” in any
subroutine, the I/O continually asserts low (or high),
and the watchdog timer expires, issuing a reset or
interrupt.
