µP Reset Circuits with Manual Reset
General Description
The MAX6335/MAX6336/MAX6337 microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits monitor the power supplies in 1.8V
to 3.3V µP and digital systems. They increase circuit reli-
ability and reduce cost by eliminating external compo-
nents and adjustments. They also feature a debounced
manual-reset input.
These devices perform a single function: they assert a
reset signal whenever the V
CC
supply voltage declines
below a preset threshold or whenever manual reset is
asserted. Reset remains asserted for a preset timeout
period after V
CC
has risen above the reset threshold or
after manual reset is deasserted. The only difference
among the three devices is their output. The MAX6336
(push/pull) and MAX6337 (open-drain) have an active-
low
RESET
output, while the MAX6335 (push/pull) has
an active-high RESET output. The MAX6335/MAX6336
are guaranteed to be in the correct state for V
CC
down
to 0.7V. The MAX6337 is guaranteed to be in the cor-
rect state for V
CC
down to 1.0V.
The reset comparator in these ICs is designed to ignore
fast transients on V
CC
. Reset thresholds are factory-
trimmable between 1.6V and 2.5V, in approximately
100mV increments. There are 15 standard versions
available (2500 piece minimum-order quantity); contact
the factory for availability of nonstandard versions
(10,000 piece minimum-order quantity). For space-criti-
cal applications, the MAX6335/MAX6336/MAX6337
come packaged in a 4-pin SOT143.

Applications Information
Manual-Reset Inputs
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 reset. Reset remains asserted while
MR
is low,
and for the reset active timeout period after
MR
returns
high.
MR
has an internal 20kΩ pull-up resistor, so it can
be left unconnected if not used. Connect a normally
open momentary switch from
MR
to GND to create a
manual-reset function; external debounce circuitry is
not required.
signal. As the amplitude of the transient increases, the
maximum allowable pulse width decreases.
Ensuring a Valid Reset Output
down to V
CC
= 0
When V
CC
falls below 1V and approaches the minimum
operating voltage of 0.7V, push/pull-structured reset
sinking (or sourcing) capabilities decrease drastically.
High-impedance CMOS-logic inputs connected to the
RESET
pin can drift to indeterminate voltages. This
does not present a problem in most cases, since most
µPs and circuitry do not operate at V
CC
below 1V. For
the MAX6336, where
RESET
must be valid down to 0,
adding a pull-down resistor between
RESET
and GND
removes stray leakage currents, holding
RESET
low
Interfacing to µPs with
Bidirectional Reset Pins
Since the
RESET
output on the MAX6337 is open-drain,
this device interfaces easily with µPs that have bidirec-
tional reset pins, such as the Motorola 68HC11.
Connecting the µP supervisor’s
RESET
output directly
to the microcontroller’s (µC’s)
RESET
pin with a single
pull-up resistor allows either device to assert reset
(Figure 1).

Figure 2. Ensuring Reset Valid down to V
CC
= 0
(Figure 2a). The pull-down resistor value is not critical;
100kΩ is large enough not to load
RESET,
and small
enough to pull it low. For the MAX6335, where RESET
must be valid to V
CC
= 0, a 100kΩ pull-up resistor
between RESET and V
CC
will hold RESET high when
V
CC
falls below 0.7V (Figure 2b).
Since the MAX6337 has an open-drain, active-low out-
put, it typically uses a pull-up resistor. With this device,
RESET will most likely not maintain an active condition,
but will drift to a non-active level due to the pull-up
resistor and the reduced sinking capability of the open-
drain device. Therefore, this device is not recommend-
ed for applications where the
RESET
pin is required to
be valid down to V
CC
= 0.
