General Description
The MAX6467/MAX6468 microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits monitor single power-supply voltages from +1.8V
to +5.0V and assert a reset if the supply voltage drops
below its preset threshold. An edge-triggered, one-shot
manual reset function ensures that the µP enters the reset
mode for a fixed timeout period only, even in the event
of a continuously asserted manual reset. The MAX6467/
MAX6468 significantly improve system reliability compared
to traditional manual reset supervisory circuits.
A variety of factory-trimmed threshold options accommodate
different supply voltages and tolerances, eliminating
external components. The factory-set thresholds range
from +1.575V to +4.625V to monitor +5.0V, +3.3V, +3.0V,
+2.5V, and +1.8V supplies with various tolerances. Reset
timeout periods of 150ms (min) and 1200ms (min) are
available to accommodate different µP platforms.
A single, active-low RESET output asserts when VCC
drops below its threshold or if the edge-triggered MR
asserts low. RESET remains low for the reset time-
out period after VCC rises above its threshold and for
a fixed, one-shot timeout period after a manual reset
input falling edge. RESET remains valid as long as VCC
remains above +1V. Open-drain (MAX6467) and push-
pull (MAX6468) output options provide additional flexibility
in the system design.
The MAX6467/MAX6468 are offered in the space-saving
4-pin SOT143 package and the ultra-small 4-pin SC70
package and are specified over the automotive (-40°C to
+125°C) temperature range.

Electrical Characteristics
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
(VCC = +5V, MAX6468US29D3 device, TA = +25°C, unless otherwise noted.)
Note 1: Specifications over temperature are guaranteed by design. Production testing at TA = +25°C only.
Note 2: The MR input ignores falling edges that occur within the MR rising debounce period (tDEB) after MR first rises from low to
high (after a valid MR reset assertion). This prevents invalid reset assertion due to switch bounce.

Reset Output. RESET is an active-low open-drain (MAX6467) or push-pull (MAX6468) output. RESET
asserts low when VCC drops below the selected threshold and remains low for the VCC reset timeout period
after VCC rises above the threshold. The RESET one-shot asserts low for a xed MR reset timeout period on
the falling edge of the manual reset input. The open-drain output requires an external pullup resistor
3MR Manual Reset Input. Drive MR low to initiate a reset output. MR controls an edge-triggered one-shot that
asserts RESET low for a xed MR timeout period when MR is driven low. Internal timing circuitry ignores
switch close and open bounce to ensure proper one-shot reset timing
4 VCC
Power-Supply Input. VCC provides power to the device and is also a monitored voltage. When VCC drops
below the selected threshold, RESET asserts low and remains low for the reset timeout period after VCC
rises above the threshold. For better noise immunity, bypass VCC to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor

Detailed Description
Reset Output
The MAX6467 provides an active-low open-drain
RESET output. The MAX6468 provides an active-low
push-pull RESET output. RESET asserts low if VCC
drops below the selected threshold or if a falling edge
occurs on MR. RESET remains low for the VCC reset
timeout period after VCC increases above the threshold
voltage or is one-shot pulsed low for the MR timeout
period after a falling edge on MR.
Manual Reset Input
Many µP-based products require manual reset capability,
allowing the operator, a test technician, or external logic
circuitry to initiate a reset. A falling edge on MR asserts
RESET low. RESET is one-shot pulsed low for the MR
timeout period after a falling edge on MR. An internal
1.5kΩ pullup resistor to VCC allows MR to be left uncon-
nected if not used. MR can be driven with TTL or CMOS-
logic levels, or with open-drain/collector outputs. Connect
a normally open momentary pushbutton switch from
MR to GND to realize a manual reset function. External
debounce circuitry is not required, as the MAX6467/
MAX6468 respond to the first falling edge on MR and
ignore subsequent falling edges within the reset timeout
period and during the MR debounce period (see Figure
1). After MR goes high for 150ms (tDEB), the manual reset
one-shot is ready to trigger a reset on the next MR falling
edge. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND when
using long cables to provide additional noise immunity
(Figure 2).

Applications Information
Falling VCC Transients
In addition to issuing a reset to the µP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, the MAX6467/
MAX6468 are relatively immune to short-duration fall-
ing VCC transients (glitches). The Typical Operating
Characteristics section shows the Maximum Transient
Duration vs. VCC Overdrive for which the MAX6467/
MAX6468 do not generate a reset pulse. This graph was
generated using a falling pulse applied to VCC starting
above the actual reset threshold and ending below the
threshold by the magnitude indicated (VCC Overdrive).
The graph indicates the typical maximum pulse width a
falling VCC transient can have without initiating a reset
pulse. As the magnitude of the transient increases (goes
farther below the reset threshold), the maximum allowable
pulse width decreases. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor from
VCC to GND provides additional transient immunity.
Ensuring a Valid RESET Output Down
to VCC = 0V
The MAX6467/MAX6468 guarantee proper operation
down to VCC = +1V. In applications that require valid
reset levels down to VCC = 0V, a pulldown resistor to
active-low outputs (MAX6468 only, Figure 3) ensures
that RESET remains valid while the RESET output can
no longer sink current. This scheme does not work with
the open-drain outputs of the MAX6467. Ensure that the
resistor value used does not overload the RESET output
when VCC is above the reset threshold. For most applica-
tions, use 100kΩ to 1MΩ.
