19-0366; Rev 6; 3/10 3.0V/3.3V Adjustable Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits The MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 microprocessor (P) supervisory circuits monitor and control the activities of +3.0V/+3.3V Ps by providing backup-battery switchover, among other features such as low-line indication, P reset, write protection for CMOS RAM, and a watchdog (see the Selector Guide below). The backup-battery voltage can exceed VCC, permitting the use of 3.6V lithium batteries in systems using 3.0V to 3.3V for VCC. The MAX793/MAX795 offer a choice of reset threshold voltage range (denoted by suffix letter): 3.00V to 3.15V (T), 2.85V to 3.00V (S), and 2.55V to 2.70V (R). The MAX794's reset threshold is set externally with a resistor divider. The MAX793/MAX794 are available in 16-pin DIP and narrow SO packages, and the MAX795 comes in 8-pin DIP and SO packages. ____________________________Features MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 o Precision Supply-Voltage Monitor: Fixed Reset Trip Voltage (MAX793/MAX795) Adjustable Reset Trip Voltage (MAX794) o Guaranteed Reset Assertion to VCC = 1V o Backup-Battery Power Switching--Battery Voltage Can Exceed VCC o On-Board Gating of Chip-Enable Signals--7ns Max Propagation Delay MAX793/MAX794 Only o Battery Freshness Seal o Battery OK Output (MAX793) o Uncommitted Voltage Monitor for Power-Fail or Low-Battery Warning o Independent Watchdog Timer (1.6s timeout) o Manual Reset Input Ordering Information _____________________Selector Guide FEATURE Active-Low Reset MAX793 MAX794 MAX795 Active-High Reset MAX793_CPE 0C to +70C 16 Plastic DIP MAX793_CSE 0C to +70C 16 Narrow SO Programmable Reset Threshold Low-Line Early Warning Output Backup-Battery Switchover External Switch Driver Power-Fail Comparator Battery OK Output Watchdog Input Battery Freshness Seal Manual Reset Input Chip-Enable Gating Pin-Package 16-DIP/SO 16-DIP/SO 8-DIP/SO PART* PINPACKAGE Ordering Information continued at end of data sheet. *The MAX793/MAX795 offer a choice of reset threshold voltage.

The state of RESET is tested at VCC = VCC min. Note 2: Tested at VBATT = 3.6V, VCC = 3.5V and 0V. The battery current rises to 10A over a narrow transition window around VCC = 1.9V. Note 3: Leakage current into the battery is tested under the worst-case conditions at VCC = 5.5V, VBATT = 1.8V and VCC = 1.5V, VBATT = 1.0V. Note 4: Guaranteed by design. Note 5: When VSW > VCC > VBATT, OUT remains connected to VCC until VCC drops below VBATT. The VCC-to-VBATT comparator has a small 15mV typical hysteresis to prevent oscillation. For VCC < 1.75V (typical), OUT switches to BATT regardless of VBATT. Note 6: When VBATT > VCC > VSW, OUT remains connected to VCC until VCC drops below the battery switch threshold (VSW). Note 7: OUT switches from BATT to VCC when VCC rises above the reset threshold, if VBATT > VRST. In this case, switchover back to VCC occurs at the exact voltage that causes reset to be asserted, however, switchover occurs 200ms prior to reset. If VBATT < VRST, OUT switches from BATT to VCC when VCC exceeds VBATT. Note 8: The reset threshold tolerance is wider for VCC rising than for VCC falling to accommodate the 10mV typical hysteresis, which prevents internal oscillation. Note 9: The leakage current into or out of the RESET pin is tested with RESET not asserted (RESET output high impedance). Note 10: PFO is normally an output, but is used as an input when activating the battery freshness seal. 4 _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3.0V/3.3V/Adjustable Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits 2.2 VCC = 3.0V 2.0 VCC = 3.3V 1.8 1.6 VCC = 5V 1.4 140 VBATT = 3.0V 120 VBATT = 3.6V 100 80 60 1.2 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 MAX793/4, VCC = 3.3V MAX795, VCC = 3.3V 30 20 VBATT = VCC = VOUT 0 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 100 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 100 TEMPERATURE (C) TEMPERATURE (C) BATTERY SUPPLY CURRENT vs. TEMPERATURE (BATTERY-BACKUP MODE) RESET TIMEOUT PERIOD vs. TEMPERATURE RESET COMPARATOR PROPAGATION DELAY vs. TEMPERATURE (VCC FALLING) 0.04 0.02 200 150 100 50 -20 0 20 40 60 80 100 15 10 0 0 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 -40 100 -20 0 20 40 60 80 TEMPERATURE (C) TEMPERATURE (C) TEMPERATURE (C) MAX793 LOWLINE-TO-RESET THRESHOLD vs. TEMPERATURE MAX793/MAX794 LOWLINE COMPARATOR PROPAGATION DELAY vs. TEMPERATURE MAX793/MAX794 PFI THRESHOLD vs. TEMPERATURE PROPAGATION DELAY (s) 80 40mV OVERDRIVE 70 60 50 40 30 20 8 100 1.250 VCC RISING MAX793 TOC9 10 1.245 PFI THRESHOLD (V) VCC FALLING 90 MAX793 TOC8 100 MAX793 TOC7 -40 20 5 VCC RISING FROM OV TO VRST MAX 0 MAX793 TOC6 25 PROPAGATION DELAY (s) RESET TIMEOUT PERIOD (ms) 0.06 30 MAX793 TOC5 250 MAX793 TOC4 VCC = 0V VBATT = 3.6V 0.08 SUPPLY CURRENT (A) 40 TEMPERATURE (C) 0.10 LOWLINE-TO-RESET THRESHOLD (mV) MAX795, VCC = 5V 50 10 40 100 MAX793/4, VCC = 5V 60 IOUT = 250A VCC = 0V VBATT = 5V 1.0 70 VCC SUPPLY CURRENT (A) 2.4 VCC SUPPLY CURRENT vs. TEMPERATURE (NORMAL OPERATING MODE) MAX793 TOC2 VCC-TO-OUT ON-RESISTANCE () 2.6 160 BATT-TO-OUT ON-RESISTANCE () IOUT = 30mA 2.8 MAX793 TOC1 3.0 BATT-TO-OUT ON-RESISTANCE vs. TEMPERATURE MAX793 TOC3 VCC-TO-OUT ON-RESISTANCE vs. TEMPERATURE 6 4 VCC FALLING 1.240 1.235 2 10 0 1.230 0 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 TEMPERATURE (C) 80 100 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 TEMPERATURE (C) 80 100 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 100 TEMPERATURE (C) _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5 MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 __________________________________________Typical Operating Characteristics (TA = +25C, unless otherwise noted.) ____________________________Typical Operating Characteristics (continued) (TA = +25C, unless otherwise noted.)

When VCC rises above the reset threshold or above VBATT, OUT is connected to VCC through an internal p-channel MOSFET switch. When VCC falls below VSW and VBATT, BATT connects to OUT. VCC Main Supply Input BATT OK (MAX793) Battery Status Output. High in normal operating mode when VBATT exceeds VBOK, otherwise low. VBATT is checked continuously. Disabled and logic low while VCC is below VSW. RESET IN (MAX794) Reset Input. Connect to an external resistor-divider to select the reset threshold. The reset threshold can be programmed anywhere in the VSW to 5.5V range. -- 4 -- PFI Power-Fail Comparator Input. When PFI is less than VPFT or when VCC falls below VSW, PFO goes low; otherwise, PFO remains high (see Power-Fail Comparator section). Connect to VCC if unused. 5 3 BATT ON Logic Output/External Bypass Switch-Driver Output. High when OUT switches to BATT. Low when OUT switches to VCC. Connect the base/gate of PNP/PMOS transistor to BATT ON for IOUT requirements exceeding 75mA. 6 4 GND Ground 7 -- PFO Power-Fail Comparator Output. When PFI is less than VPFT or when VCC falls below VSW, PFO goes low; otherwise, PFO remains high. PFO is also used to enable the battery freshness seal (see Battery Freshness Seal and Power-Fail Comparator sections). Manual Reset Input. A logic low on MR asserts reset. Reset remains asserted as long as MR is low and for 200ms after MR returns high. The active-low input has an internal 70A pullup current. It can be driven from a TTL- or CMOS-logic line or shorted to ground with a switch. Leave open if unused. 8 -- MR 9 -- WDO 10 -- WDI 11 5 CE IN 12 6 CE OUT 13 -- RESET 14 -- LOWLINE 15 7 RESET 16 8 BATT Watchdog Output. WDO goes low if WDI remains either high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout period. WDO returns high on the next transition of WDI. WDO is a logic high for VSW < VCC < VRST, and low when VCC is below VSW. Watchdog Input. If WDI remains either high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout period, the internal watchdog timer runs out and WDO goes low. WDO returns high on the next transition of WDI. Connect WDO to MR to generate a reset due to a watchdog fault. Chip-Enable Input. The input to the chip-enable gating circuit. Connect to GND if unused. Chip-Enable Output. CE OUT goes low only when CE IN is low and reset is not asserted. If CE IN is low when reset is asserted, CE OUT remains low for 10s or until CE IN goes high, whichever occurs first. CE OUT is pulled up to OUT. Active-High Reset Output. Sources and sinks current. RESET is the inverse of RESET. Early Power-Fail Warning Output. Low when VCC falls to VLR. This output can be used to generate an NMI to provide early warning of imminent power failure. Open-Drain, Active-Low Reset Output. Pulses low for 200ms when triggered, and stays low whenever VCC is below the reset threshold or when MR is a logic low. It remains low for 200ms after either VCC rises above the reset threshold, the watchdog triggers a reset (WDO connected to MR), or MR goes low to high. Backup-Battery Input. When VCC falls below VSW and VBATT, OUT switches from VCC to BATT. When VCC rises above the reset threshold or above VBATT, OUT reconnects to VCC. VBATT can exceed VCC. Connect VCC, OUT, and BATT together if no battery is used. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 ______________________________________________________________Pin Description MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 3.0V/3.3V Adjustable Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits out period (tRP), the state of MR is ignored if PFO is externally forced low to facilitate enabling the battery freshness seal. MR has an internal 70A pullup current, so it can be left open if it is not used. This input can be driven with TTL- or 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 driven from long cables or the device is used in a noisy environment, connect a 0.1F capacitor from MR to ground to provide additional noise immunity. _______________Detailed Description General Timing Characteristics The MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 are designed for 3.3V and 3V systems, and provide a number of supervisory functions (see the Selector Guide on the front page). Figures 1 and 2 show the typical timing relationships of the various outputs during power-up and power-down with typical VCC rise and fall times. Manual Reset Input (MAX793/MAX794) Many microprocessor-based products require manualreset capability, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external logic circuitry to initiate a reset. On the MAX793/MAX794, a logic low on MR asserts reset. Reset remains asserted while MR is low, and for tRP (200ms) after it returns high. During the first half of the reset timeVRST Reset Outputs A microprocessor's (P's) reset input starts the P in a known state.

Timing Diagram, VCC Rising 8 _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3.0V/3.3V Adjustable Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits VLL If a brownout condition occurs (VCC dips below the reset threshold), RESET goes low. Each time RESET is asserted, it stays low for the reset timeout period. Any time VCC goes below the reset threshold, the internal timer restarts. The watchdog output (WDO) can also be used to initiate a reset. See the Watchdog Output section. The RESET output is the inverse of the RESET output, and it can both source and sink current.

Timing Diagram, VCC Falling _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 brownout conditions. RESET is guaranteed to be a logic low for 0V < V CC < V RST , provided V BATT is greater than 1V. Without a backup battery (VBATT = VCC = VOUT), RESET is guaranteed valid for VCC 1V. Once V CC exceeds the reset threshold, an internal timer keeps RESET low for the reset timeout period (tRP); after this interval, RESET becomes high impedance (Figure 2). RESET is an open-drain output, and requires a pullup resistor to V CC (Figure 3). Use a 4.7k to 1M pullup resistor that provides sufficient current to assure the proper logic levels to the P.

MAX794 Standard Application Circuit Reset Threshold The MAX793T/MAX795T are intended for 3.3V systems with a 5% power-supply tolerance and a 10% systems tolerance. Except when MR is asserted, reset does not assert as long as the power supply remains above 3.15V (3.3V - 5%). Reset is guaranteed to assert before the power supply falls below 3.0V (3.3V - 10%). The MAX793S/MAX795S are designed for 3.3V 10% power supplies. Except when MR is asserted, they are guaranteed not to assert reset as long as the supply remains above 3.0V (3.0V is just above 3.3V - 10%). Reset is guaranteed to assert before the power supply falls below 2.85V (3.3V - 14%). The MAX793R/MAX795R are optimized to monitor 3.0V 10% power supplies. Reset does not occur until VCC falls below 2.7V (3.0V - 10%), but is guaranteed to occur before the supply falls below 2.55V (3.0V - 15%). Program the MAX794's reset threshold with an external voltage divider to RESET IN. The reset-threshold tolerance is a combination of the RESET IN tolerance and the tolerance of the resistors used to make the external voltage divider. Calculate the reset threshold as follows: VRST = VRST IN (R1 / R2 + 1) 10 PFO (EXTERNALLY HELD AT 0V) PFO STATE LATCHED, FRESHNESS SEAL ENABLED. RESET PULLED UP TO VCC 4.7k PFO RESET A0-A15 I/O WDI WDO VRST Figure 4. Battery Freshness Seal Enable Timing Using the standard application circuit (Figure 3), the reset threshold can be programmed anywhere in the range of VSW (the battery switch threshold) to 5.5V. Reset is asserted when VCC falls below VSW. Battery Freshness Seal The MAX793/MAX794's battery freshness seal disconnects the backup battery from internal circuitry until it is needed. This allows an OEM to ensure that the backup battery connected to BATT is fresh when the final product is put to use. To enable the freshness seal, connect a battery to BATT, ground PFO, bring VCC above the reset threshold, and hold it there until reset is deasserted following the reset timeout period, then bring VCC back down again (Figure 4). Once the battery freshness seal is enabled (disconnecting the backup battery from the internal circuitry and anything connected to OUT), it remains enabled until VCC is brought above VRST. Note that connecting PFO to MR does not interfere with battery freshness seal operation. BATT OK Output (MAX793) BATT OK indicates the status of the backup battery. When reset is not asserted, the MAX793 checks the battery voltage continuously. If VBATT is below VBOK (2.0V min), BATT OK goes low; otherwise, it remains pulled up to VCC. BATT OK also goes low when VCC goes below VSW. Watchdog Input (MAX793/MAX794) In the MAX793/MAX794, the watchdog circuit monitors the P's activity. If the P does not toggle the watchdog input (WDI) within 1.6s, WDO goes low. The internal 1.6s timer is cleared and WDO returns high either when ______________________________________________________________________________________ 3.0V/3.3V Adjustable Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits 4.7k MAX793/MAX794 VCC WDO RESET MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 VCC VRST tRP RESET TO P MR WDO VCC tWD 10s WDO WDI RESET WDO CONNECTED TO P INTERRUPT RESET PULLED UP TO VCC Figure 5. Watchdog Timing Relationship a reset occurs or when a transition (low-to-high or highto-low) takes place at WDI. As long as reset is asserted, the timer remains cleared and does not count. As soon as reset is released or WDI changes state, the timer starts counting (Figure 5). WDI can detect pulses as short as 100ns. Unlike the 5V MAX690 family, the watchdog function cannot be disabled. Watchdog Output (MAX793/MAX794) In the MAX793/MAX794, WDO remains high (WDO is pulled up to VCC) if there is a transition or pulse at WDI during the watchdog timeout period. WDO goes low if no transition occurs at WDI during the watchdog timeout period. The watchdog function is disabled and WDO is a logic high when reset is asserted if VCC is above VSW. WDO is a logic low when VCC is below VSW. If a system reset is desired on every watchdog fault, simply diode-OR connect WDO to MR (Figure 6). When a watchdog fault occurs in this mode, WDO goes low, pulling MR low, which causes a reset pulse to be issued. Ten microseconds after reset is asserted, the watchdog timer clears and WDO returns high. This delay results in a 10s pulse at WDO, allowing external circuitry to capture a watchdog fault indication. A continuous high or low on WDI causes 200ms reset pulses to be issued every 1.6s. tRP tWP tRP WDI Figure 6. Generating a Reset on Each Watchdog Fault Chip-Enable Signal Gating Internal gating of chip-enable (CE) signals prevents erroneous data from corrupting CMOS RAM in the event of an undervoltage condition. The MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 use a series transmission gate from CE IN to CE OUT During normal operation (reset not asserted), the CE transmission gate is enabled and passes all CE transitions. When reset is asserted, this path becomes disabled, preventing erroneous data from corrupting the CMOS RAM. The short CE propagation delay from CE IN to CE OUT enables these P supervisors to be used with most Ps. If CE IN is low when reset asserts, CE OUT remains low for typically 10s to permit completion of the current write cycle. Chip-Enable Input The CE transmission gate is disabled and CE IN is high impedance (disabled mode) while reset is asserted. During a power-down sequence when VCC passes the reset threshold, the CE transmission gate disables and CE IN immediately becomes high impedance if the voltage at CE IN is high. If CE IN is low when reset asserts, the CE transmission gate disables at the moment CE IN goes high, or 10s after reset asserts, whichever occurs first (Figure 8). This permits the current write cycle to complete during power-down. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 3.0V/3.3V Adjustable Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits MAX793 MAX794 MAX795 The propagation delay through the CE transmission gate depends on VCC, the source impedance of the drive connected to CE IN, and the loading on CE OUT. The CE propagation delay is production tested from the 50% point on CE IN to the 50% point on CE OUT using a 50 driver and 50pF of load capacitance (Figure 9). For minimum propagation delay, minimize the capacitive load at CE OUT and use a low-output-impedance driver. OUT CHIP-ENABLE OUTPUT CONTROL P RESET GENERATOR P CE IN CE OUT N Chip-Enable Output When the CE transmission gate is enabled, the impedance of CE OUT is equivalent to a 46 resistor in series with the source driving CE IN. In the disabled mode, the transmission gate is off and an active pullup connects CE OUT to OUT (Figure 8). This pullup turns off when the transmission gate is enabled. Early Power-Fail Warning (MAX793/MAX794) Figure 7. Chip-Enable Transmission Gate The CE transmission gate remains disabled and CE IN remains high impedance (regardless of CE IN activity) for the first half of the reset timeout period (tRP / 2), any time a reset is generated. While disabled, CE IN is high impedance. When the CE transmission gate is enabled, the impedance of CE IN appears as a 46 resistor in series with the load at CE OUT. VRST Critical systems often require an early warning indicating that power is failing. This warning provides time for the P to store vital data and take care of any additional "housekeeping" functions, before the power supply gets too far out of tolerance for the P to operate reliably. The MAX793/MAX794 offer two methods of achieving this early warning. If access to the unregulated supply is feasible, the power-fail comparator input (PFI) can be connected to the unregulated supply through a voltage divider, with the power-fail comparator output (PFO) providing the NMI to the P (Figure VRST VRST VRST VCC VSW VSW CE OUT VBATT 10s tRP/2 VBATT VCC tRP RESET (PULLED TO VCC) CE IN VBATT = 3.6V RESET PULLED UP TO VCC Figure 8.

Figure 9. CE Propagation Delay Test Circuit 10). If there is no easy access to the unregulated supply, the LOWLINE output can be used to generate an NMI to the P (see LOWLINE Output section). LOWLINE Output (MAX793/MAX794) The low-line comparator monitors VCC with a threshold voltage typically 45mV above the reset threshold (10mV of hysteresis) for the MAX793, and 15mV above RESET IN (4mV of hysteresis) for the MAX794. For normal operation (VCC above the reset threshold), LOWLINE is pulled to VCC. Use LOWLINE to provide an NMI to the P when power begins to fall. UNREGULATED SUPPLY First, calculate the worst-case time required for the system to perform its shutdown routine. Then, with the worstcase shutdown time, the worst-case load current, and the minimum low-line to reset threshold (VLR min), calculate the amount of capacitance required to allow the shutdown routine to complete before reset is asserted: CHOLD > ILOAD x tSHDN / VLR where I LOAD is the current being drained from the capacitor, VLR is the low-line to reset threshold difference (VLL - VRST), and tSHDN is the time required for the system to complete an orderly shutdown routine. Power-Fail Comparator (MAX793/MAX794) The MAX793/MAX794's PFI input is compared to an internal reference. If PFI is less than the power-fail threshold (VPFT), PFO goes low. The power-fail comparator is intended for use as an undervoltage detector to signal a failing power supply (Figure 12). However, the comparator does not need to be dedicated to this function because it is completely separate from the rest of the circuitry. 3.0V OR 3.3V REGULATOR 3.0V OR 3.3V REGULATOR VCC VCC MAX793 MAX794 R1 TO P NMI MAX793 MAX794 PFO PFI LOWLINE CHOLD TO P NMI CHOLD > ILOAD x tSHDN VLR R2 GND GND Figure 10.

Using LOWLINE to Provide Power-Fail Warning to the P ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 In most battery-operated portable systems, reserve energy in the battery provides ample time to complete the shutdown routine once the low-line warning is encountered and before reset asserts. If the system must also contend with a more rapid VCC fall time, such as when the main battery is disconnected or a highside switch is opened during normal operation, use capacitance on the VCC line to provide time to execute the shutdown routine (Figure 11).

Using the Power-Fail Comparator to Monitor an Additional Power Supply: (a) VIN Is Negative, (b) VIN Is Positive The power-fail comparator turns off and PFO goes low when VCC falls below VSW on power-down. During the first half of the reset timeout period (tRP), PFO is forced high, irrespective of VPFI. At the beginning of the second half of tRP, the power-fail comparator is enabled and PFO follows PFI. If the comparator is unused, connect PFI to VCC and leave PFO unconnected. PFO can be connected to MR so that a low voltage on PFI generates a reset (Figure 12b). In this configuration, when the monitored voltage causes PFI to fall below VPFT, PFO pulls MR low, causing a reset to be asserted. Reset remains asserted as long as PFO holds MR low, and for 200ms after PFO pulls MR high when the monitored supply is above the programmed threshold. Backup-Battery Switchover VBATT is greater than VCC, or when VCC falls below 1.75V (typ) regardless of the BATT voltage. Switchover at VSW ensures that battery-backup mode is entered before VOUT gets too close to the 2.0V minimum required to reliably retain data in most CMOS RAM, (switchover at higher V CC voltages would decrease backup-battery life). When V CC recovers, switchover is deferred either until VCC crosses VBATT if V BATT is below VRST, or when VCC rises above the reset threshold (V RST) if V BATT is above V RST. This power-up switchover technique prevents V CC from charging the backup battery through OUT when using an external transistor driven by BATT ON. OUT connects to VCC through a 4 (max) PMOS power switch when VCC crosses the reset threshold (Figure 13). In the event of a brownout or power failure, it may be necessary to preserve the contents of RAM. With a backup battery installed at BATT, the devices automatically switch RAM to backup power when VCC falls. In order to allow the backup battery (e.g., a 3.6V lithium cell) to have a higher voltage than VCC, this family of P supervisors (designed for 3.3V and 3V systems) does not always connect BATT to OUT when V BATT is greater than VCC. BATT connects to OUT (through a 140 switch) either when VCC falls below VSW and BATT ON is high when OUT is connected to BATT. Although BATT ON can be used as a logic output to indicate the battery switchover status, it is most often used as a gate or base drive for an external pass transistor for high-current applications (see Driving an External Switch with BATT ON in the Applications Information section). When V CC exceeds V RST on power-up, BATT ON sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V. In batterybackup mode, this terminal sources 100A from BATT. 14 BATT ON (MAX793/MAX794) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 3.0V/3.3V Adjustable Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits VRST VCC VSW 3.6V 3.6V 3.3V VOUT VBATT = 3.6V Figure 13.

No current-limiting resistor is required, but a resistor connecting the base of the PNP to BATT ON can be used to limit the current drawn from VCC, prolonging battery life in portable equipment. If you are using a PMOS transistor, however, it must be connected backwards from the traditional method. Connect the gate to BATT ON, the drain to VCC, and the source to OUT (Figure 14b). This method orients the body diode from V CC to OUT and prevents the backup battery from discharging through the FET when its gate is high. Two PMOS transistors in the Siliconix LITTLE FOOT(R) series are specified with VGS down to -2.7V. The Si9433DY has a maximum 100m drainsource on-resistance with 2.7V of gate drive and a 2A drain-source current. The Si9434DY specifies a 60m drain-source on-resistance with 2.7V of gate drive and a 5.1A drain-source current. Using a Super Cap as a Backup Power Source Super caps are capacitors with extremely high capacitance values (e.g., order of 0.47F) for their size. Figure 15 shows two ways to use a super cap as a backup power source. The super cap can be connected through a diode to the 3V input (Figure 15a); or, if a 5V supply is also available, the super cap can be charged up to the 5V supply (Figure 15b), allowing a longer backup period. Since VBATT can exceed VCC while VCC is above the reset threshold, there are no special precautions when using these P supervisors with a super cap. Operation without a Backup Power Source These P supervisors were designed for batterybacked applications. If a backup battery is not used, connect BATT, OUT, and VCC together, or use a different P supervisor. Pulled to BATT __________Applications Information These P supervisory circuits are not short-circuit protected. Shorting VOUT to ground, excluding power-up transients such as charging a decoupling capacitor, destroys the device. Decouple both V CC and BATT pins to ground by placing 0.1F ceramic capacitors as close to the device as possible. Replacing the Backup Battery The backup power source can be removed while VCC remains valid, without danger of triggering a reset pulse, provided that BATT is decoupled with a 0.1F capacitor to ground. As long as VCC stays above the reset threshold, battery-backup mode cannot be entered. Driving an External Switch with BATT ON BATT ON can be directly connected to the base of a PNP transistor or the gate of a PMOS transistor.

Using a Super Cap as a Backup Source Adding Hysteresis to the Power-Fail Comparator (MAX793/MAX794) The power-fail comparator has a typical input hysteresis of 10mV. This is sufficient for most applications where a power-supply line is being monitored through an external voltage divider (see the section Monitoring an Additional Power Supply). If additional noise margin is desired, connect a resistor between PFO and PFI as shown in Figure 16a. Select the ratio of R1 and R2 such that PFI sees VPFT when VIN falls to its trip point (VTRIP). R3 adds the additional hysteresis and should typically be more than 10 times the value of R1 or R2. The hysteresis window extends 16 both above (VH) and below (VL) the original trip point (VTRIP). Connecting an ordinary signal diode in series with R3, as shown in Figure 16b, causes the lower trip point (VL) to coincide with the trip point without hysteresis (VTRIP), so the entire hysteresis window occurs above VTRIP. This method provides additional noise margin without compromising the accuracy of the power-fail threshold when the monitored voltage is falling. It is useful for accurately detecting when a voltage falls past a threshold. The current through R1 and R2 should be at least 1A to ensure that the 25nA (max over temperature) PFI input current does not shift the trip point. R3 should be larger than 82k so it does not load down the PFO pin. Capacitor C1 is optional, and adds noise rejection. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 3.0V/3.3V Adjustable Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits MAX793/MAX794/MAX795 VIN VIN R1 VCC R1 MAX793 MAX794 PFI R2 VCC R2 R3 PFI MAX793 MAX794 PFO GND R3 C1* C1* PFO GND *OPTIONAL *OPTIONAL TO P TO P PFO PFO 0V VL 0V VTRIP = VPFT VH VTRIP (R1 R2+ R2) VL = R1 VPFT ( ( ) ) 1 R3 VCC R3 WHERE VPFT = 1.237V VPFH = 10mV (a) VTRIP 0V VTRIP = VPFT 1 1 + + R1 R2 1 1 1 + + - R1 R2 R3 VH = (VPFT + VPFH) (R1) 0V VIN (R1 +R2R2 ) VH = R1 (VPFT + VPFH) (b) VIN VH ( R11 + R21 + R31 ) - VD R3 WHERE VPFT = 1.237V VPFH = 10mV VD = DIODE FORWARD VOLTAGE DROP VL = VTRIP Figure 16. Adding Hysteresis to the Power-Fail Comparator: (a) Symmetrical Hysteresis, (b) Hysteresis Only on Rising VIN Monitoring an Additional Power Supply These P supervisors can monitor either positive or negative supplies using a resistor voltage divider to PFI. PFO can be used to generate an interrupt to the P or to cause reset to assert (Figure 12). Interfacing to Ps with Bidirectional Reset Pins Since the RESET output is open drain, the MAX793/ MAX794/MAX795 interface easily with Ps that have bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola 68HC11. Connecting the RESET output of the P supervisor directly to the RESET input of the microcontroller with a single pullup resistor allows either device to assert reset (Figure 17). Negative-Going VCC Transients These supervisors are relatively immune to short-duration negative-going VCC transients (glitches) while issuing resets to the P during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions. Therefore, resetting the P when VCC experiences only small glitches is usually not recommended. VCC VCC VCC RESET RESET RESET GENERATOR N P MAX793 MAX794 MAX795 GND GND Figure 17. Interfacing to Ps with Bidirectional Reset I/O ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 Figure 18 shows maximum transient duration vs. resetcomparator overdrive, for which reset pulses are not generated. The graph was produced using negativegoing VCC pulses, starting at 3.3V and ending below the reset threshold by the magnitude indicated (reset comparator overdrive). The graph shows the maximum pulse width a negative-going VCC transient can typically have without causing a reset pulse to be issued. As the amplitude of the transient increases (i.e., goes farther below the reset threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width decreases. Typically, a VCC transient that goes 40mV below the reset threshold and lasts for 10s or less does not cause a reset pulse to be issued. A 0.1F bypass capacitor mounted close to the VCC pin provides additional transient immunity.

This technique avoids a stuck loop, in which the watchdog timer would continue to be reset within the loop, keeping the watchdog from timing out. Figure 19 shows an example of a flow diagram where the I/O driving the watchdog input is set high at the beginning of the program, set low at the beginning of every subroutine or loop, then set high again when the program returns to the beginning. If the program should hang in any subroutine, the problem would quickly be corrected, since the I/O is continually set low and the watchdog timer is allowed to time out, causing a reset or interrupt to be issued.
