General Description
The MAX6730–MAX6735 single/dual/triple-voltage micro-
processor (μP) supervisors feature a watchdog timer and
manual reset capability. The MAX6730–MAX6735 offer
factory-set reset thresholds for monitoring voltages from
+0.9V to +5V and an adjustable reset input for monitoring
voltages down to +0.63V. The combination of these features
significantly improves system reliability and accuracy when
compared to separate ICs or discrete components.
The active-low reset output asserts and remains asserted
for the reset timeout period after all the monitored voltages
exceed their respective thresholds. Multiple factory-set reset
threshold combinations reduce the number of external
components required. The MAX6730/MAX6731 monitor a
single fixed voltage, the MAX6732/MAX6733 monitor two
fixed voltages, and the MAX6734/MAX6735 monitor two
fixed voltages and one adjustable voltage. All devices are
offered with six minimum reset timeout periods ranging from
1.1ms to 1120ms.
The MAX6730–MAX6735 feature a watchdog timer with
an independent watchdog output. The watchdog timer
prevents system lockup during code execution errors. A
watchdog startup delay of 54s after reset asserts allows
system initialization during power-up. The watchdog operates
in normal mode with a 1.68s delay after initialization. The
MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734 provide an active-low,
open-drain watchdog output. The MAX6731/MAX6733/
MAX6735 provide an active-low, push-pull watchdog
output.
Other features include a manual reset input (MAX6730/
MAX6731/MAX6734/MAX6735) and push-pull reset output
(MAX6731/MAX6733/MAX6735) or open-drain reset
output (MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734). The MAX6730–
MAX6733 are offered in a tiny SOT23-6 package. The
MAX6734/MAX6735 are offered in a space-saving
SOT23-8 package. All devices are fully specified over the
extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Active-Low Reset Output. The MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734 provide an open-drain

low when any of the following conditions occur: VCC1 or VCC2 drops below its
preset threshold, RSTIN drops below its reset threshold, or MR is driven low. Open-
drain versions require an external pullup resistor.
222GND Ground
334WDO
Active-Low Watchdog Output. The MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734 provide an
open-drain WDO output. The MAX6731/MAX6733/MAX6735 provide a push-pull
WDO output. WDO asserts low when no low-to-high or high-to-low transition occurs
on WDI within the watchdog timeout period (tWD) or if an undervoltage lockout
condition exists for VCC1, VCC2, or RSTIN. WDO deasserts without a timeout period
when VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN exceed their reset thresholds, or when the manual
reset input is asserted. Open-drain versions require an external pullup resistor.
4 5 MR
Active-Low Manual Reset Input. Drive MR low to force a reset. RST remains
asserted as long as MR is low and for the reset timeout period after MR releases
high. MR has a 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1; leave MR open or connect to VCC1 if
unused.
5 5 3 WDI
Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout
period, the internal watchdog timer expires and the watchdog output asserts low.
The internal watchdog timer clears whenever RST asserts or a rising or falling edge
on WDI is detected. The watchdog has an initial watchdog timeout period (35s min)
after each reset event and a short timeout period (1.12s min) after the rst valid WDI
transition. Leaving WDI unconnected does not disable the watchdog timer function.
668VCC1Primary Supply-Voltage Input. VCC1 provides power to the device when it is greater
than VCC2. VCC1 is the input to the primary reset threshold monitor.
46 VCC2Secondary Supply-Voltage Input. VCC2 provides power to the device when it is
greater than VCC1. VCC2 is the input to the secondary reset threshold monitor.
7 RSTIN
Undervoltage Reset Comparator Input. RSTIN provides a high-impedance
comparator input for the adjustable reset monitor. RST asserts low if the voltage
at RSTIN drops below the 626mV internal reference voltage. Connect a resistive
voltage-divider to RSTIN to monitor voltages higher than 626mV. Connect RSTIN to
VCC1 or VCC2 if unused.

Pin Description
Detailed Description
Supply Voltages
The MAX6730–MAX6735 microprocessor (μP) supervisors
maintain system integrity by alerting the μP to fault conditions.
The MAX6730–MAX6735 monitor one to three supply
voltages in μP-based systems and assert an active-low
reset output when any monitored supply voltage drops
below its preset threshold. The output state remains valid
for VCC1 or VCC2 greater than +0.8V.
Threshold Levels
The two-letter code in the Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix
Guide (Table 1) indicates the threshold level combinations
for VCC1 and VCC2.
Reset Output
The MAX6730–MAX6735 feature an active-low reset out-
put (RST). RST asserts when the voltage at either VCC1
or VCC2 falls below the voltage threshold level, VRSTIN
drops below its threshold, or MR is driven low (Figure 1).
RST remains low for the reset timeout period (Table 2) after
VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN increase above their respective
thresholds and after MR releases high. Whenever VCC1,
VCC2, or RSTIN go below the reset threshold before the
end of the reset timeout period, the internal timer restarts.
The MAX6730/MAX6732/ MAX6734 provide an open-
drain RST output, and the MAX6731/MAX6733/MAX6735
provide a push-pull RST output.

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 logic low on MR asserts the
reset output, clears the watchdog timer, and deasserts
the watchdog output. Reset remains asserted while MR is
low and for the reset timeout period (tRP) after MR returns
high. An internal 50kΩ pullup resistor allows MR to be left
open if unused. Drive MR 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. Connect a 0.1μF capacitor from MR to GND to
provide additional noise immunity when driving MR over
long cables or if the device is used in a noisy environment.
Adjustable Input Voltage (RSTIN)
The MAX6734/MAX6735 provide an additional high-
impedance comparator input with a 626mV threshold to
monitor a third supply voltage. To monitor a voltage higher
than 626mV, connect a resistive-divider to the circuit as
shown in Figure 2 to establish an externally controlled
threshold voltage, VEXT_TH.

The RSTIN comparator derives power from VCC1, and
the input voltage must remain less than or equal to VCC1.
Low leakage current at RSTIN allows the use of large-
valued resistors, resulting in reduced power consumption
of the system.
Watchdog
The watchdog feature monitors μP activity through the
watchdog input (WDI). A rising or falling edge on WDI
within the watchdog timeout period (tWD) indicates normal
μP operation. WDO asserts low if WDI remains high or
low for longer than the watchdog timeout period. Leaving
WDI unconnected does not disable the watchdog timer.
The devices include a dual-mode watchdog timer to monitor
μP activity. The flexible timeout architecture provides a
long-period initial watchdog mode, allowing complicated
systems to complete lengthy boots, and a short-period
normal watchdog mode, allowing the supervisor to provide
quick alerts when processor activity fails. After each reset
event (VCC power-up, brownout, or manual reset), there
is a long initial watchdog period of 35s (min). The long
watchdog period mode provides an extended time for the
system to power up and fully initialize all μP and system
components before assuming responsibility for routine
watchdog updates.
The usual watchdog timeout period (1.12s min) begins
after the initial watchdog timeout period (tWD-L) expires or
after the first transition on WDI (Figure 3). During normal
operating mode, the supervisor asserts the WDO output
if the μP does not update the WDI with a valid transition
(high to low or low to high) within the standard timeout
period (tWD-S) (1.12s min).
Connect MR to WDO to force a system reset in the event
that no rising or falling edge is detected at WDI within
the watchdog timeout period. WDO asserts low when no
edge is detected by WDI, the RST output asserts low, the
watchdog counter immediately clears, and WDO returns
high. The watchdog counter restarts, using the long
watchdog period, when the reset timeout period ends
(Figure 4).
Ensuring a Valid RESET
Output Down to VCC = 0V
The MAX6730–MAX6735 guarantee proper operation
down to VCC = +0.8V. In applications that require valid
reset levels down to VCC = 0V, use a 100kΩ pulldown
resistor from RST to GND. The resistor value used is
not critical, but it must be large enough not to load the
reset output when VCC is above the reset threshold.
For most applications, 100kΩ is adequate. Note that this
configuration does not work for the open-drain outputs of
MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734.

Applications Information
Interfacing to μPs with Bidirectional
Reset Pins
Microprocessors with bidirectional reset pins can interface
directly with the open-drain RST output options. However,
conditions might occur in which the push-pull output ver-
sions experience logic contention with the bidirectional
reset pin of the μP. Connect a 10kΩ resistor between
RST and the μP’s reset I/O port to prevent logic conten-
tion (Figure 5).
Falling VCC Transients
The devices μP supervisors are relatively immune to
short-duration falling VCC_ transients (glitches). Small
glitches on VCC_ are ignored by the MAX6730–MAX6735,
preventing undesirable reset pulses to the μP. The Typical
Operating Characteristics show Maximum Transient
Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive, for which reset

pulses are not generated. The graph was produced using
falling VCC_ pulses, starting above VTH and ending below
the reset threshold by the magnitude indicated (reset
threshold overdrive). The graph shows the maximum
pulse width that a falling VCC transient typically might
have without causing a reset pulse to be issued. As the
amplitude of the transient increases (i.e., goes further
below the reset threshold), the maximum allowable pulse
width decreases. A 0.1μF bypass capacitor mounted
close to VCC_ provides additional transient immunity.
Watchdog Software Considerations
Setting and resetting the watchdog input at different
points in the program rather than “pulsing” the watchdog
input high-low-high or low-high-low helps the watchdog
timer closely monitor software execution. This technique
avoids a “stuck” loop, in which the watchdog timer continues
to be reset within the loop, preventing the watchdog from
timing out. Figure 6 shows an example flow diagram in
which 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, and then set high again when
the program returns to the beginning. If the program
“hangs” in any subroutine, the I/O continually asserts low
(or high), and the watchdog timer expires, issuing a reset
or interrupt.
