The MAX690 family of supervisory circuits reduces the
complexity and number of components required for
power supply monitoring and battery control functions in
microprocessor systems. These include µP reset and
backup-battery switchover, watchdog timer, CMOS RAM
write protection, and power-failure warning. The MAX690
family significantly improves system reliability and accuracy compared to that obtainable with separate ICs or
discrete components.
The MAX690, MAX692, and MAX694 are supplied in
8-pin packages and provide four functions:
● A reset output during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions.
● Battery backup switching for CMOS RAM, CMOS
microprocessor or other low power logic.
● A Reset pulse if the optional watchdog timer has not
been toggled within a specified time.
● A 1.3V threshold detector for power fail warning, low
battery detection, or to monitor a power supply other
than +5V.
The MAX691, MAX693, and MAX695 are supplied in 16-pin
packages and perform all MAX690, MAX692, MAX694
functions, plus:
● Write protection of CMOS RAM or EEPROM.
● Adjustable reset and watchdog timeout periods.
● Separate outputs for indicating a watchdog timeout,
backup-battery switchover, and low VCC.

maximum when VCC is between 0V and V
Reset Output
A voltage detector monitors VCC and generates a RESET
output to hold the microprocessor’s Reset line low when
VCC is below 4.65V (4.4V for MAX693). An internal
monostable holds RESET low for 50ms* after VCC rises
above 4.65V (4.4V for MAX693). This prevents repeated
toggling of RESET even if the 5V power drops out and
recovers with each power line cycle.
The crystal oscillator normally used to generate the clock
for microprocessors takes several milliseconds to start.
Since most microprocessors need several clock cycles
to reset, RESET must be held low until the microprocessor clock oscillator has started. The MAX690 family

power-up RESET pulse lasts 50ms* to allow for this
oscillator start-up time. The manual reset switch and
the 0.1µF capacitor connected to the reset bus can be
omitted if manual reset is not needed. An inverted, active
high, RESET output is also supplied.
Power-Fail Detector
The MAX691/93/95 issues a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI)
to the microprocessor when a power failure occurs. The
+5V power line is monitored via two external resistors
connected to the power-fail input (PFI). When the voltage at PFI falls below 1.3V, the power-fail output (PFO)
drives the processor’s NMI input low. If a power-fail
threshold of 4.8V is chosen, the microprocessor will
have the time when VCC fails from 4.8V to 4.65V to save
data into RAM. An earlier power-fail warning can be
generated if the unregulated DC input of the 5V regulator
is available for monitoring.
RAM Write Protection
The MAX691/MAX693/MAX695 CE OUT line drives the
Chip Select inputs of the CMOS RAM. CE OUT follows
CE IN as long as VCC is above the 4.65V (4.4V for
MAX693) reset threshold. If VCC falls below the reset
threshold, CE OUT goes high, independent of the logic
level at CE IN. This prevents the microprocessor from
writing erroneous data into RAM during power-up, powerdown, brownouts, and momentary power interruptions.
The LOW LINE output goes low when VCC falls below
4.65V (4.4V for MAX693).

MAX690–MAX695Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
Watchdog Timer
The microprocessor drives the WATCHDOG INPUT
(WDI) with an I/O line. When OSC IN and OSC SEL are
unconnected, the microprocessor must toggle the WDI
pin once every 1.6s to verify proper software execution. If
a hardware or software failure occurs such that WDI not
toggled the MAX691/MAX693 will issue a 50ms* RESET
pulse after 1.6s. This typically restarts the microprocessor’s power-up routine. A new RESET pulse is issued
every 1.6s until the WDI is again strobed.
The WATCHDOG OUTPUT (WDO) goes low if the
watchdog timer is not serviced within its timeout period.
Once WDO goes low it remains low until a transition
occurs at WDI. The watchdog timer feature can be disabled by leaving WDI unconnected. OSC IN and OSC
SEL also allow other watchdog timing options, as shown
in Table 1 and Figure 8.
MAX690, MAX692, and MAX694
The 8 pin MAX690, MAX692, and MAX694 have most
of the features of the MAX691, MAX693, and MAX695.
Figure 2 shows the MAX690/MAX692/MAX694 in a typical
*200ms for MAX695
application. Operation is much the same as with the
MAX691/MAX693/MAX695 (Figure 1), but in this case, the
power- fail input (PFI) monitors the unregulated input to the
7805 regulator. The MAX690/MAX694 RESET output goes
low when VCC falls below 4.65V. The RESET output of the
MAX692 goes low when VCC drops below 4.4V.
The current consumption of the battery-backed-up power
bus must be less than 50mA. The MAX690/MAX692/
MAX694 does not have a BATT ON output to drive an
external transistor. The MAX690/MAX692/MAX694 also
does not include chip enable gating circuitry that is available on the MAX690/MAX692/MAX694. In many systems
though, CE gating is not needed since a low input to
the microprocessor RESET line prevents the processor
from writing to RAM during power-up and power-down
transients.
The MAX690/MAX692/MAX694 watchdog timer has a
fixed 1.6s timeout period. If WDI remains either low or
high for more than 1.6s, a RESET pulse is sent to the
microprocessor. The watchdog timer is disabled if WDI is
left unconnected.

The battery switchover circuit compares VCC to the V
input, and connects V
occurs when VCC is 50mV greater than V
and VCC is 70mV more than V
Figure 4). The switchover comparator has 20mV of hysteresis to prevent repeated, rapid switching if VCC falls very
slowly or remains nearly equal to the battery voltage.
When VCC is higher than V

tor. V
has 50mA output current capability. Use an
OUT
external PNP pass transistor in parallel with internal transistor if the output current requirement at V
50mA or if a lower VCC-V
desired. The BATT ON output (MAX691/MAX693/MAX695
only) can directly drive the base of the external transistor.
It should be noted that the MAX690–MAX695 need only
supply the average current drawn by the CMOS RAM if
there is adequate filtering. Many RAM data sheets specify
a 75mA maximum supply current, but this peak current
spike lasts only 100ns. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor at V
supplies the high instantaneous current, while V
only supply the average load current, which is much less.
A capacitance of 0.1µF or greater must be connected to
the V
terminal to ensure stability.

600nA typical, 1µA maximum.
The MAX690/MAX691/MAX694/MAX695 operate with
battery voltages from 2.0V to 4.25V while MAX692/
MAX693 operate with battery voltages from 2.0V to
4.0V. High value capacitors can also be used for shortterm memory backup. External circuitry is required to
ensure that the capacitor voltage does not rise above
the reset threshold, and that the charging resistor does
not discharge the capacitor when in backup mode. The
MAX691A and the MAX791 provide solutions requiring
fewer external components.
A small charging current of typically 10nA (0.1µA max)
flows out of the V
amount of current that is drawn from V
terminal. This current varies with the
BATT
but its polarity
OUT
is such that the backup battery is always slightly charged,
and is never discharged while VCC is in its operating voltage range. This extends the shelf life of the backup battery
by compensating for its self-discharge current. Also note
that this current poses no problem when lithium batteries
are used for backup since the maximum charging current
(0.1µA) is safe for even the smallest lithium cells.

Reset Output
RESET is an active-low output which goes low whenever VCC falls below 4.5V (MAX690/MAX691/MAX694/
MAX695) or 4.25V (MAX692/MAX693). It will remain low
until VCC rises above 4.75V (MAX690/691/694/695) or 4.5V
(MAX692/MAX693) for milliseconds*. See Figures 5 and 6.
The guaranteed minimum and maximum thresholds of
MAX690/MAX691/MAX694/MAX695 are 4.5V and 4.75V,
while the guaranteed thresholds of the MAX692/MAX693
are 4.25V and 4.5V. The MAX690/MAX691/MAX694/
MAX695 is compatible with 5V supplies with a +10%, -5%
tolerance while the MAX692/MAX693 is compatible with
5V ±10% supplies. The reset threshold comparator has
approximately 50mV of hysteresis, with a nominal threshold of 4.65V in the MAX690/MAX691/MAX694/MAX695,
and 4.4V in the MAX692/MAX693.
The response time of the reset voltage comparator is
about 100µs. VCC should be bypassed to ensure that
glitches do not activate the RESET output.
RESET also goes low if the watchdog timer is enabled
and WDI remains either high or low longer than the watchdog timeout period. RESET has an internal 3µA pullup,
and can either connect to and open collector Reset bus
or directly drive a CMOS gate without and external pullup
resistor.

CE Gating and RAM Write Protection
The MAX691/MAX693/MAX695 use two pins to control
the Chip Enable or Write inputs of CMOS RAMs. When
VCC is +5V, CE OUT is a buffered replica of CE IN, with
a 50ns propagation delay. If VCC input falls below 4.65V
(4.5V min, 4.75V max) an internal gate forces CE OUT
high, independent of CE IN. The MAX693 CE OUT goes
high whenever VCC is below 4.4V (4.25V min, 4.5V max).
The CE output of both devices is also forced high when
VCC is less than V
CE OUT typically drives the CE, CS, or Write input of
battery backed up CMOS RAM. This ensures the integrity of the data in memory by preventing write operations
when VCC is at and invalid level. Similar protection of
EEPROMs can be achieved by using the CE OUT to
drive the Store or Write inputs of an EEPROM, EAROM,
or NOVRAM.
If the 50ns typical propagation delay of CE OUT is too
long, connect CE IN to GND and use the resulting CE
OUT to control a high speed external logic gate. A second
alternative is to AND the LOW LINE output with the CE or WR signal. An external logic gate and the RESET output
of the MAX690/MAX692/MAX694 can also be used for
CMOS RAM write protection.

MAX690–MAX695Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
1.3V Comparator and Power-Fail Warning
The power-fail input (PFI) is compared to an internal
1.3V reference. The power-fail output (PFO) goes low
when the voltage at PFI is less than 1.3V. Typically, PFI is
driven by an external voltage divider which senses either
the unregulated DC input to the system’s 5V regulator or
the regulated 5V output. The voltage divider ratio can be
chosen such that the voltage at PFI falls below 1.3V several milliseconds before the +5V supply falls below 4.75V.
PFO is normally used to interrupt the microprocessor so
that data can be stored in RAM before VCC falls below
4.75V and the RESET output goes low (4.5V for MAX692/
MAX693).
The power-fail detector can also monitor the backup battery to warn of a low battery condition. To conserve battery power, the power-fail detector comparator is turned
off and PFO is forced when VCC is lower than V
BATT
input voltage.
Watchdog Timer and Oscillator
The watchdog circuit monitors the activity of the microprocessor. If the microprocessor does not toggle the
Watchdog Input (WDI) within the selected timeout period,
a 50ms* RESET pulse is generated. Since many systems
cannot service the watchdog timer immediately after a
reset, the MAX691/MAX693/MAX695 has a longer timeout period after reset is issued. The normal timeout period
becomes effective following the first transition of WDI after
RESET has gone high. The watchdog timer is restarted
at the end of reset, whether the reset was caused by
lack of activity on WDI or by VCC falling below the reset
threshold. If WDI remains either high or low, reset pulses
will be issued every 1.6s. The watchdog monitor can be
deactivated by floating the watchdog input (WDI).
The watchdog output (WDO, MAX691/MAX693/MAX695
only) goes low if the watchdog timer times out and
remains low until set high by the next transition on the
watchdog input. WDO is also set high when VCC goes
below the reset threshold.
The watchdog timeout period is fixed at 1.6s and the
reset pulse width is fixed at 50ms* on the 8-pin MAX690/
MAX692/MAX694. The MAX691/MAX693/MAX695 allow
these times to be adjusted per Table 1.
Figures 8 shows
various oscillator configurations.
The internal oscillator is enabled when OSC SEL is
floating. In this mode, OSC IN selects between the
1.6s and 100ms watchdog timeout periods. In either
case, immediately after a reset the timeout period 1.6s.
This gives the microprocessors time to reintialize the
system. If OSC IN is low, then the 100ms watchdog
period becomes effective after the first transition of WDI.
The software should be written such that the I/O port
driving WDI is left in its power-up reset state until the initialization routines are completed and the microprocessor
is able to toggle WDI at the minimum watchdog timeout
period of 70ms.

Application Hints
Other Uses of the Power-Fail Detector
In Figure 9, the power-fail detector is used to initiate a
system reset when VCC falls to 4.85V. Since the threshold of the power-fail detector is not as accurate as the
onboard reset-voltage detector, a trimpot must be used
to adjust the voltage detection threshold. Both the PFO
and RESET outputs have high sink current capability and
only 10µA of source current drive. This allows the two
outputs to be connected directly to each other in a wired
OR fashion.
The overvoltage detector circuit in Figure 10 resets the
microprocessor whenever the nominal 5V VCC is above
5.5V. The battery monitor circuit (Figure 11) shows the
status of the memory backup battery. If desired, the CE
OUT can be used to apply a test load to the battery. Since
CE OUT is forced high during the battery backup mode,
the test load will not be applied to the battery while it is in
use even if the microprocessor is not powered.
Adding Hysteresis
to the Power Fail Comparator
Since the power fail comparator circuit is noninverting, hysteresis can be added by connecting a resistor
between the PFO output and the PFI input as shown in
Figure 12. When PFO is low, resistor R3 sinks current
from the summing junction at the PFI pin. When PFO is
high, the series combination of R3 and R4 source current
into the PFI summing junction.
Alternate Watchdog Input Drive Circuits
The Watchdog feature can be enabled and disabled
under program control by driving WDI with a three-state
buffer (Figure 13). The drawback to this circuit is that a
software fault may be erroneously three-state the buffer,
thereby preventing the MAX690 from detecting that the
microprocessor is no longer working. In most cases a better method is to extend the watchdog period rather than
disabling the watchdog. See Figure 14. When the control
input is high, the OSC SEL pin is low and the watchdog
timeout is set by the external capacitor. A 0.01µF capacitor sets a watchdog timeout delay of 100s. When the
control input is low the OSC SEL pin is high, selecting
the internal oscillator. The 100ms or the 1.6s period is
chosen, depending on which diode in Figure 14 is used.
