Low-Voltage SOT23 碌P Supervisors with
Manual Reset and Watchdog Timer
General Description
The MAX6821鈥揗AX6825 are low-voltage microprocessor
(碌P) supervisory circuits that combine voltage monitor-
ing, watchdog timer, and manual reset input functions in
a 5-pin SOT23 package. Microprocessor supervisory cir-
cuits significantly improve system reliability and accura-
cy compared to separate ICs or discrete components.
These devices assert a reset signal whenever the moni-
tored voltage drops below its preset threshold, keeping it
asserted for a minimum timeout period after V
CC
rises
above the threshold. In addition, a watchdog timer moni-
tors against code execution errors. A debounced manual
reset is also available. The MAX6821鈥揗AX6825 monitor
voltages from +1.8V to +5.0V. These outputs are guaran-
teed to be in the correct state for V
CC
down to +1.0V.
Nine preprogrammed reset threshold voltages are
available (see
Threshold Suffix Guide).
The MAX6821,
MAX6822, and MAX6823 all have a manual reset input
and a watchdog timer. The MAX6821 has push-pull
RESET, the MAX6822 has open-drain
RESET,
and the
MAX6823 has push-pull
RESET.
The MAX6824 has a
watchdog timer and both push-pull
RESET
and push-
pull RESET. The MAX6825 has a manual reset input
and both push-pull
RESET
and push-pull RESET. The
Selector Guide
explains the functions offered in this
series of parts.
