THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADM6305/ADM6306 are compact, low power supervisory
circuits capable of monitoring two voltage rails. If a monitored
voltage drops below its associated threshold, the active low reset
output asserts low.
The ADM6305 monitors two supplies via two adjustable
resistor-programmable undervoltage reset inputs. Both RST IN1
and RST IN2 have a reset threshold of either 0.4 V or 1.23 V
depending on the particular model; that is, the RST IN1 and
RST IN2 threshold of the ADM6305D3ARJZ-RL7 model is
1.23 V, while in the case of ADM6305D3ARJZ1-RL7 model, it is
0.4 V. The VCC input of the ADM6305 is not a monitored input.
The ADM6306 has one adjustable undervoltage reset input,
RST IN, which features a choice of reset threshold, 0.4 V or
1.23 V (see the Ordering Guide for more information). The
ADM6306 incorporates a variety of internally pretrimmed VCC
undervoltage threshold options for monitoring supply voltages
in increments between 2.5 V to 5 V. The ADM6306 also
includes a manual reset input.
INPUT CONFIGURATION
The threshold voltage at an adjustable input is either 0.4 V or
1.23 V. To monitor a voltage greater than the typical adjustable
threshold, VRSTH, connect a resistor divider network to the circuit as
depicted in Figure 14, where

Figure 14. Setting the Adjustable Monitor
The high input impedance (leakage of ±25 nA) of the adjustable
inputs minimizes the offset error caused by the leakage current
and external resistor divider. This allows the user to apply a divider
with large resistance to minimize the loss. The offset voltage
caused by the leakage current is calculated by R1 × ±25 nA.
The RST INx inputs are designed to ignore fast voltage transients
(see Figure 11 and Figure 12). Increase the noise immunity by
connecting a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor between RST INx and
ground. Note that adding capacitance to RST INx slows the
overall response time of the device.
There is no hysteresis associated with the 0.4 V adjustable
inputs; instead, a time-based glitch filter to prevent false
triggering is used. The glitch filter avoids the need to use a
portion of the operating supply range to provide hysteresis
on this input. The ADM6305/ADM6306 are powered via VCC.
Figure 9 shows the maximum transient duration vs. VCC reset
threshold overdrive, for which reset pulses are not generated.
Figure 9 depicts the maximum pulse width that a negative going
VCC transient may typically have without causing RESET to be
asserted. As the amplitude of the transient increases, the maximum
allowable pulse width decreases. The addition of a bypass capacitor
on VCC provides additional transient immunity.
RESET OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The ADM6305/ADM6306 are available in a choice of four reset
timeouts. After the monitored supplies rise above their associated
threshold level, the RESET signal remains low for the reset timeout
period before deasserting. Subsequently, if a monitored supply
falls below its associated threshold, the RESET output reasserts.
The open-drain RESET output of the ADM6305/ADM6306
remains valid as long as VCC exceeds 0.9 V.
The ADM6305 remains in UVLO when VCC is below 1.5 V. The
RESET output is controlled by RTS INx if VCC exceeds 2.5 V.
The open-drain RESET output allows the ADM6305 and
ADM6306 to interface easily with microprocessors and
devices with bidirectional reset pins. Connecting the supervi-
sory devices RESET output directly to the microcontrollers
RESET pin with a single pull-up resistor allows either device
to issue a system reset (see Figure 15).

MANUAL RESET
The ADM6306 features a manual reset input (MR) which, when
driven low, asserts the reset output. When MR transitions from
low to high, reset remains asserted for the duration of the reset
active timeout period before deasserting. The MR input has a
63.5 k internal pull-up resistor so that the input is always high
when unconnected. An external push-button switch can be
connected between MR and ground so that the user can
generate a reset. Debounce circuitry is integrated on-chip for
this purpose. Noise immunity is provided on the MR input,
and fast, negative going transients of up to 0.1 µs (typical) are
ignored. If required, a 0.1 F capacitor between MR and ground
provides additional noise immunity.
