General Description
The MAX6800/MAX6801/MAX6802 microprocessor (μP)
supervisory circuits monitor the power supplies in 2.85V to
5.0V μP and digital systems. They increase circuit reliability
and reduce cost by eliminating external components and
adjustments.
These devices perform a single function—they assert a
reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage declines
below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for a preset
timeout period after VCC has risen above the reset
threshold. The only difference among the three devices
is their output. The MAX6801 (push/pull) and MAX6802
(open-drain) have an active-low RESET output, while the
MAX6800 (push/pull) has an active-high RESET output.
The devices are guaranteed to be in the correct state for
VCC down to 0.7V. The MAX6802 is guaranteed to be in
the correct state for VCC down to 1.0V.
The reset comparator in these ICs is designed to ignore
fast transients on VCC. Reset thresholds are factory-
trimmable between 2.63V and 4.80V, in approximately
100mV increments. These devices are available with
a 1ms (min), 20ms (min), or 100ms (min) reset pulse
width. Ideal for space-critical applications, the MAX6800/
MAX6801/MAX6802 come packaged in a 3-pin SOT23.
For a lower threshold voltage version, see the MAX6332/
MAX6333/MAX6334.

Applications Information
Interfacing to μPs with Bidirectional
Reset Pins
Since the RESET output on the MAX6802 is open-
drain, this device interfaces easily with μPs that have
bidirectional 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 pullup
resistor allows either device to assert reset (Figure 1).
Negative-Going VCC Transients
In addition to issuing a reset to the μP during
power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions, these
devices are relatively immune to short-duration, negative-
going VCC transients (glitches). The Typical Operating
Characteristics show the Maximum Transient Duration
vs. Reset Comparator Overdrive graph. The graph shows
the maximum pulse width that a negative-going VCC
transient may typically have without issuing a reset signal.
As the amplitude of the transient increases, the maximum
allowable pulse width decreases.
Ensuring a Valid Reset Output Down to
VCC = 0V
When VCC 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 when VCC drops below 1V. For
the MAX6801 application, where RESET must be valid
down to 0V, adding a pulldown resistor between RESET
and GND removes stray leakage currents, holding RESET
low (Figure 2a). The pulldown resistor value is not critical;
100kΩ is large enough not to load RESET and small
enough to pull it low. For the MAX6800 application, where
RESET must be valid to VCC = 0V, a 100kΩ pullup resistor
between RESET and VCC will hold RESET high when
VCC falls below 0.7V (Figure 2b).
Since the MAX6802 has an open-drain, active-low output,
it typically uses a pullup resistor. With this device, RESET
will most likely not maintain an active condition, but will
drift to a non-active level due to the pullup resistor and
the reduced sinking capability of the open-drain device.
Therefore, this device is not recommended for applications
where the RESET pin is required to be valid down to VCC = 0V.
