General Description
The MAX6453–MAX6456 are low-power, dual-voltage
µP supervisors featuring separate VCC reset and manu-
al reset outputs. The dual outputs support both soft-
system reset (interrupt) and hard-system reset (reboot)
functions. The reset output asserts when any of the
monitored voltages falls below its specified threshold
and remains asserted for the reset timeout (140ms min)
after all voltages exceed their respective reset thresh-
olds. All devices are offered with nine factory-fixed
reset thresholds for monitoring primary system voltages
(VCC) from 1.8V to 5V and an adjustable reset input for
monitoring a secondary system voltage down to 0.63V.
Each device has a manual reset input, a VCC reset out-
put, and a manual reset output. The MAX6453/
MAX6454 manual reset output asserts when the manual
reset input is low. It remains asserted for the manual
reset timeout period (140ms min) after the manual reset
input transitions high. The MAX6453/MAX6354 manual
reset input controls only the manual reset output and
does not affect the VCC reset output.
The manual reset input of the MAX6455/MAX6456 con-
trols both the manual reset and VCC reset outputs. When
the manual reset input is low for less than 3.3s (typ), only
the manual reset output asserts and remains asserted for
the manual reset timeout period (140ms min) after the
manual reset input transitions high. If the manual reset
input is low for at least 3.3s (typ), the reset output also
asserts and remains asserted for the reset timeout peri-
od (140ms min) after the manual reset input transitions
high. This enhanced feature allows the implementation of
a soft/hard-system reset combination.
The MAX6453/MAX6455 have active-low push-pull
reset and manual reset outputs, and the MAX6454/
MAX6456 have active-low open-drain reset and manual
reset outputs. All devices are available in small SOT23-
6 packages and are fully specified over the extended
temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).

Detailed Description
Reset Output
The reset output is typically connected to the reset
input of a microprocessor (µP). A µP’s reset input starts
or restarts the µP in a known state. The MAX6453–
MAX6456 µP supervisory circuits provide the reset
logic to prevent code-execution errors during power-
up, power-down and brownout conditions (see the
Typical Operating Circuit).
RESET changes from high to low whenever the moni-
tored voltage (RSTIN or VCC) drops below the reset
threshold voltages. When VRSTIN and VCC exceed their
respective reset threshold voltages, RESET remains low
for the reset timeout period, and then goes high. RESET
changes from high to low after MR input is held low for
the 3.36s (typ) setup period and deasserts 140ms (min)
after MR deasserts.
RESET is guaranteed to be in the proper output logic
state for VCC inputs ≥1V. For applications requiring valid
reset logic when VCC is less than 1V, see the Ensuring a
Valid
RESET
Output Down to VCC = 0V section.
Manual Reset
The MAX6453/MAX6454 contain a manual reset output
(MROUT) that asserts low immediately after driving MR
low and remains low for the reset timeout period after
MR goes high (Figure 1). The pushbutton manual reset
has no effect on the RESET output. MROUT output can
be used to drive an NMI (nonmaskable interrupt) on the
processor to save valuable data.
The MAX6455/MAX6456’s MROUT is asserted immedi-
ately upon driving MR low. Driving MR low for longer
than the 3.36s (typ) setup period asserts RESET. When
MR is deasserted, MROUT and RESET remain asserted
low for the reset timeout period after MR goes high
(Figure 2).
Adjustable Input Voltage (RSTIN)
The MAX6453–MAX6456 monitor the voltage on RSTIN
using an adjustable reset threshold set with an external
resistor voltage divider (Figure 3). Use the following for-
mula to calculate the externally monitored voltage
(VMON-TH):
VMON-TH = VTH-RSTIN ✕(R1 +R2) / R2
where VMON_TH is the desired reset threshold voltage
and VTH-RSTIN is the reset input threshold (0.63V).
Resistors R1 and R2 can have very high values to mini-
mize current consumption due to low leakage currents.
Set R2 to some conveniently high value (250kΩ, for
example) and calculate R1 based on the desired reset
threshold voltage, using the following formula:
R1 = R2 ✕(VMON_TH / VTH - 1)Ω

Applications Information
Interrupt Before Reset
To minimize data loss and speed system recovery/test,
many applications interrupt the processor or reset only
portions of the system before a processor hard reset is
asserted. The extended setup time of the MAX6455/
MAX6456 MR input allows the same pushbutton (Figure
4) to control both the interrupt and hard reset functions.
If the pushbutton is closed for less than 3.36s (typ), the
processor is only interrupted (MROUT). If the system
still does not respond properly, the pushbutton can be
closed for the full extended setup period (3.36s typ) to
hard reset the processor (RESET). If desired, connect a
LED to the RESET output to turn off (or on) to signify
when the pushbutton is closed long enough for a hard
reset (the same LED can be used as the front panel
power-on display).
Interfacing to Other Voltages
for Logic Compatibility
The open-drain RESET output can be used to interface
to a µP with other logic levels. As shown in Figure 5, the
open-drain output can be connected to voltages from 0
to 6V.
Generally, the pullup resistor connected to the RESET
connects to the supply voltage being monitored at the
IC’s VCC pin. However, some systems might use the
open-drain output to level-shift from the monitored sup-
ply to reset circuitry powered by some other supply
(Figure 5). Keep in mind that as the supervisor’s VCC
decreases toward 1V, so does the IC’s ability to sink
current at RESET (RESET is pulled high as VCC decays
toward 0). The voltage where this occurs depends on
the pullup resistor value and the voltage to which it is
connected.
Ensuring a Valid
RESET
Down to VCC = 0V
(Push-Pull
RESET
)
When VCC falls below 1V, RESET current-sinking capa-
bilities decline drastically. The high-impedance CMOS-
logic inputs connected to RESET can drift to
undetermined voltages. This presents no problem in
most applications, because most µPs and other circuit-
ry do not operate with VCC below 1V.
In applications where RESET must be valid down to 0V,
add a pulldown resistor between RESET and GND for
the push/pull outputs. The resistor sinks any stray leak-
age currents, holding RESET low (Figure 6). The value
of the pulldown resistor is not critical; 100kΩis large
enough not to load RESET and small enough to pull
RESET to ground. The external pulldown cannot be
used with the open-drain reset outputs.
Transient Immunity
In addition to issuing a reset to the µP during power-up,
power-down and brownout conditions, these supervisors
are relatively immune to short duration falling transients
(glitches). The graph Maximum Transient Duration vs.
Reset Threshold Overdrive in the Typical Operating
Characteristics section shows this relationship.
The area below the curves of the graph is the region in
which these devices typically do not generate a reset
pulse. This graph was generated using a negative
going pulse applied to VCC, starting above the actual
reset threshold (VTH) and ending below it by the magni-
tude indicated (reset-threshold overdrive). As the mag-
nitude of the transient increases (VCC goes further
below the reset threshold), the maximum allowable
pulse width decreases. Typically, a VCC transient that
goes 100mV below the reset threshold and lasts 20µs
or less does not cause a reset pulse to be issued.
