General Description
The MAX6701–MAX6708 microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits reduce the complexity and components required
to monitor power-supply functions in µP systems. These
devices significantly improve system reliability and accu-
racy compared to separate ICs or discrete components.
The MAX6701−MAX6708 family provides four func-
tions: a reset output during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions; an independent watchdog output
that goes low if the watchdog input has not been toggled
within 1.6s; a 0.62V threshold detector for power-fail
warning; and an active-low manual reset input.
The MAX6701–MAX6708 family offers several pinout
options to accommodate a variety of multivoltage micro-
processor supervision applications.
The MAX6701(A)/MAX6702(A)/MAX6703(A) monitor
three supply voltages (one fixed threshold and two
adjustable) to drive a single reset output and include a
manual reset input and a watchdog timer with an inde-
pendent output. The MAX6704 monitors a single-supply
voltage to drive complementary reset outputs and
includes an independent adjustable power-fail-in/power-
fail-out comparator, a manual reset input, and a reset-
based watchdog timer. The MAX6705(A)/MAX6706(A)/
MAX6707(A) monitor a single-supply voltage to drive
a single reset output and include an independent
adjustable power-fail-in/power-fail-out comparator, a
manual reset input, and a watchdog timer with an inde-
pendent output. The MAX6708 is the same as the
MAX6704 but without the watchdog timer function.
See the Detailed Description for differences between
non-A and A versions.

affected). The internal watchdog timer clears whenever
a VCC/RST_IN1/RST_IN2 reset is asserted, the manual
reset is asserted, or WDI sees a rising or falling edge.
The watchdog timer remains cleared until the reset output
is deasserted. On the MAX6704, RESET pulse asserts

overflow. The watchdog timer cannot be disabled.

MAX6708, and MAX6701(A)/MAX6702(A)/MAX6703(A),
respectively.
Reset Output
A microprocessors (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a
known state. The MAX6701–MAX6708 assert reset
during power-up and prevent code execution errors
during power-down or brownout conditions.
On power-up, once VCC reaches 1V, RESET is a
guaranteed logic-low of 0.4V or less. As VCC rises,
RESET stays low. After VCC, RST_IN1, or RST_IN2 rise
above the reset threshold, an internal timer holds RESET
low for about 200ms. RESET pulses low whenever
VCC dips below the reset threshold, including brownout
conditions. If a brownout occurs in the middle of a
previously initiated reset pulse, the pulse continues for
at least another 140ms. On power-down, once VCC
falls below the reset threshold, RESET stays low and is
guaranteed to be 0.4V or less, until VCC drops below 1V.
The MAX6702(A)/MAX6704/MAX6706(A)/MAX6708
active-high RESET output is the complement of the
RESET output, and is guaranteed to be valid with VCC
down to 1V.

Standard- vs. A-Version Comparison
The MAX6701/MAX6702/MAX6703/MAX6705/MAX6706/
MAX6707s’ WDO latches low when one of the following
events occurs:
The watchdog timer times out (1.6s, typ).
VCC, RST_IN1, or RST_IN2 is below its reset
threshold.
MR is pulled low.
WDO only deasserts with a valid WDI transition.
The MAX6701(A)/MAX6702(A)/MAX6703(A)/MAX6705(A)/
MAX6706(A)/ MAX6707(A)s’ WDO asserts when either
VCC, RST_IN1, or RST_IN2 is below its reset thresh-
old. WDO deasserts without a timeout delay when the
undervoltage situation has expired. WDO is latched low
when the watchdog timer elapses without seeing a WDI
transition. WDO deasserts with a valid WDI transition
OR by pulling MR low.
See Figures 4 and 5 for standard-version timing. See
Figures 6 and 7 for A-version timing.
Watchdog Timer
The MAX6701MAX6707 watchdog circuit monitors the
µP’s activity. If the µP does not toggle the WDI within 1.6s,
WDO goes low. When RESET is asserted, the watchdog
timer stays cleared and does not count. As soon as reset
is released, the timer starts counting. WDO deasserts
after a valid transition is detected at WDI. Pulses as short
as 50ns can be detected.
Typically, WDO is connected to the NMI input of a µP.
When VCC, RST_IN1, or RST_IN2 drop below the reset
threshold, WDO goes low whether or not the watchdog
timer has timed out. Normally this would trigger an NMI,
but RESET goes low simultaneously, and thus overrides
the NMI.
The MAX6704 watchdog circuit does not have an inde-
pendent watchdog output (WDO). If the µP does not
toggle the watchdog input within 1.6s, the MAX6704
asserts a reset output pulse for the reset timeout period.
Manual Reset
The manual reset input (MR) allows reset to be
triggered by a pushbutton switch. The switch is
effectively debounced by the reset pulse width. MR is
CMOS logic compatible, so it can be driven by an external
logic line. MR can be used to force a watchdog timeout to
generate a reset pulse in the MAX6701(A)/MAX6702(A)/
MAX6703(A)/MAX6705(A)/MAX6706(A)/MAX6707(A) by
connecting WDO to MR.
Power-Fail Comparator
The uncommitted power-fail comparator can be used
for various purposes because its noninverting input and
output are externally available. The inverting input is
internally connected to a 0.62V reference. To build an
early warning circuit for power failure, connect the PFI
pin to a voltage-divider (see the Typical Operating
Circuit). Choose the voltage-divider ratio so that the
voltage at PFI falls below 0.62V just before the regulator
drops out. Use PFO to interrupt the µP so it can prepare
for an orderly power-down. The low-input current at this
pin allows for large resistor values in the divider.

Reset Input
The MAX6701(A)/MAX6702(A)/MAX6703(A) include two
adjustable reset inputs for monitoring up to a total of
three system voltages (including VCC). The thresholds
for the monitored RST_IN supplies are externally set
with resistor-divider networks (Figure 8). The reset
output is asserted if any of the monitored supplies (VCC,
RST_IN1, or RST_IN2) go below its specified threshold
and remains asserted for the reset timeout period after
all supplies are above their thresholds.
Applications Information
Ensuring a Valid RESET Output
Down to VCC = 0
When VCC falls below 1V, the MAX6701MAX6708
RESET output no longer sinks current; it becomes an
open circuit. High-impedance CMOS logic inputs can
drift to undetermined voltages if left undriven. If a pull-
down resistor is added to the RESET pin, as shown
in Figure 9, any stray charge or leakage currents are
drained to ground, holding RESET low. A resistor value
(R1) is not critical; 100kΩ is large enough not to load
RESET and small enough to pull RESET to ground.
This application works for push-pull output only (not for
open-drain resets).
Monitoring Other System Voltages
Other systems can be monitored by connecting a
voltage-divider to PFI and adjusting the ratio appropriately.
In noisy systems, a capacitor between PFI and GND
reduces the power-fail circuit’s sensitivity to high-
frequency noise on the line being monitored. Reset can
be asserted on other voltages in addition to the VCC
supply line. Connect PFO to MR to initiate a reset out-
put pulse when PFI drops below 0.62V. Figure 10
shows the MAX6704MAX6708 configured to assert a
reset output when the secondary supply falls below the
reset threshold.
Generating a Reset from Watchdog Overow
Connect WDO to MR to force a watchdog timeout to gen-
erate a reset pulse for only the reset timeout period on the
MAX6701(A)/MAX6702(A)/MAX6703(A)/MAX6705(A)/
MAX6706(A)/MAX6707(A). When the MAX6704 watch-
dog times out, reset outputs are automatically asserted
(no external connections required). For the MAX6701/
MAX6702/MAX6703/MAX6705/MAX6706/MAX6707 non-A
versions, do not connect WDO to MR; this creates a
locked condition.
