Low-Voltage SOT23 µP Supervisors with
Manual Reset and Watchdog Timer
General Description
The MAX6821–MAX6825 are low-voltage microprocessor
(µP) 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–MAX6825 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 the
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

this series of parts.

MR

Active-High Push-Pull Reset Output. RESET changes from low to
high when the V
CC
input drops below the selected reset threshold,
MR
is pulled low, or the watchdog triggers a reset. RESET remains
high for the reset timeout period after V

exceeds the device
reset threshold,

Ground
Active-Low Manual Reset Input. Internal 50kΩ pullup to V

low to force a reset. Reset remains active as long as
MR

and for the reset timeout period after
MR
goes high. Leave
unconnected or connect to V
CC

Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low for longer than the
watchdog timeout period, the internal watchdog timer runs out and
a reset is triggered for the reset timeout period. The internal
watchdog timer clears whenever reset is asserted, the manual
reset is asserted, or WDI sees a rising or falling edge. If WDI is
left unconnected or is connected to a three-stated buffer output,
the watchdog feature is disabled.

Detailed Description
RESET
/RESET Output
A µP’s reset input starts the µP in a known state. The
MAX6821–MAX6825 µP supervisory circuits assert a
reset to prevent code-execution errors during power-
up, power-down, and brownout conditions. Whenever
V
CC
falls below the reset threshold, the reset output
asserts low for
RESET
and high for RESET. Once V
CC
exceeds the reset threshold, an internal timer keeps the
reset output asserted for the specified reset timeout
period (t
RP
); after this interval, reset output returns to its
original state (see Figure 2).
returns high.
MR
has an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor,
so it can be left open if not used. This input can be dri-
ven with CMOS logic levels or with open-drain/collector
outputs. Connect a normally open momentary switch
from
MR
to GND to create a manual reset function;
external debounce circuitry is not required. If
MR
is dri-
ven from long cables or the device is used in a noisy
environment, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from
MR
to
GND to provide additional noise immunity.
Watchdog Input
In the MAX6821–MAX6824, the watchdog circuit moni-
tors the µP’s activity. If the µP does not toggle (low to
high or high to low) the watchdog input (WDI) within the
watchdog timeout period (1.6s nominal), reset asserts
for the reset timoeout period. The internal 1.6s timer
can be cleared by either a reset pulse or by toggling
WDI. The WDI can detect pulses as short as 50ns.
While reset is asserted, the timer remains cleared and
does not count. As soon as reset is released, the timer
starts counting (see Figure 3).
5
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. On the MAX6821/
MAX6822/MAX6823/MAX6825, a logic low on
MR
asserts a reset. Reset remains asserted while
MR
is
low, and for the timeout period (140ms min) after it
