MAXIM MAX6715, MAX6729 Technical data

General Description

The MAX6715–MAX6729 are ultra-low-voltage microproces­sor (µP) supervisory circuits designed to monitor two or three
system power-supply voltages. These devices assert a sys­tem reset if any monitored supply falls below its factory­trimmed or adjustable threshold and maintain reset for a
minimum timeout period after all supplies rise above their
thresholds. The integrated dual/triple supervisory circuits sig­nificantly improve system reliability and reduce size com­pared to separate ICs or discrete components.

These devices monitor primary supply voltages (VCC1) from

1.8V to 5.0V and secondary supply voltages (VCC2) from

0.9V to 3.3V with factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage
options (see Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide). An
externally adjustable RSTIN input option allows customers to
monitor a third supply voltage down to 0.62V. These devices
are guaranteed to be in the correct reset output logic state
when either VCC1 or VCC2 remains greater than 0.8V.

A variety of push-pull or open-drain reset outputs along with
watchdog input, manual reset input, and power-fail input/out­put features are available (see Selector Guide). Select reset
timeout periods from 1.1ms to 1120ms (min) (see Reset
Timeout Period Suffix Guide). The MAX6715–MAX6729 are
available in small 5, 6, and 8-pin SOT23 packages and oper­ate over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description

Supply Voltages

The MAX6715–MAX6729 microprocessor (µP) supervi­sory circuits maintain system integrity by alerting the µP
to fault conditions. These ICs are optimized for systems
that monitor two or three supply voltages. The output­reset state is guaranteed to remain valid while either
VCC1 or VCC2 is above 0.8V.

Threshold Levels

Input voltage threshold level combinations are indicat­ed by a two-letter code in the Reset Voltage Threshold

Suffix Guide (Table 1). Contact factory for availability of
other voltage threshold combinations.

Reset Outputs

The MAX6715–MAX6729 provides an active-low reset
output (RST) and the MAX6725/MAX6726 provides
both an active-high (RST) and an active-low reset out­put (RST). RST, RST, RST1, and RST2 are asserted
when the voltage at either VCC1 or VCC2 falls below the
voltage threshold level, RSTIN drops below threshold,
or MR is pulled low. Once reset is asserted it stays low
for the reset timeout period (see Table 2). If VCC1,
V

CC

2, or RSTIN goes below the reset threshold before

the reset timeout period is completed, the internal timer

restarts. The MAX6715/MAX6717/MAX6719/MAX6721/
MAX6723/MAX6725/MAX6727/MAX6728 contain open­drain reset outputs, while the MAX6716/MAX6718/
MAX6720/MAX6722/MAX6724/MAX6726/MAX6729
contain push-pull reset outputs. The MAX6727 provides
two separate open-drain RST outputs driven by the
same internal logic.

Manual Reset Input

Many microprocessor-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. Reset remains
asserted while MR is low and for the reset timeout peri­od (tRP) after MR returns high. This input has an internal
50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1 and can be left uncon­nected if not used. MR 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 if the device is used in a noisy environ­ment, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND to
provide additional noise immunity.

Adjustable Input Voltage

The MAX6719/MAX6720 and MAX6723–MAX6727 provide
an additional input to monitor a third system voltage. The
threshold voltage at RSTIN is typically 626mV. Connect a
resistor-divider network to the circuit as shown in Figure 1
to establish an externally controlled threshold voltage,
V

EXT_TH

.

V

EXT_TH

= 626mV((R1 + R2)/R2)

Low leakage current at RSTIN allows the use of large­valued resistors resulting in reduced power consump­tion of the system.

Watchdog Input

The watchdog monitors µP activity through the watch­dog input (WDI). To use the watchdog function, con­nect WDI to a bus line or µP I/O line. When WDI
remains high or low for longer than the watchdog time­out period, the reset output asserts. Leave WDI floating
to disable the watchdog function.

The MAX6721–MAX6729 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
(V

CC

power-up/brownout, manual reset, or watchdog
reset), there is a long initial watchdog period of 35s
minimum. 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 normal watchdog timeout period (1.12s min)
begins after the first transition on WDI before the con­clusion of the long initial watchdog period (Figure 2).
During the normal operating mode, the supervisor will
issue a reset pulse for the reset timeout period if the µP
does not update the WDI with a valid transition (high-to­low or low-to-high) within the standard timeout period
(1.12s min).

Power-Fail Comparator

PFI is the noninverting input to a comparator. If PFI is
less than V

PFI

(626.5mV), PFO goes low. Common uses

for the power-fail comparator include monitoring prereg­ulated input of the power supply (such as a battery) or

providing an early power-fail warning so software can
conduct an orderly system shutdown. It can also be
used to monitor supplies other than VCC1 or VCC2 by
setting the power-fail threshold with a resistor-divider, as
shown in Figure 3. PFI is the input to the power-fail com­parator. The typical comparator delay is 2µs from PFI to
PFO. Connect PFI to ground of VCC1 if unused.

Ensuring a Valid Reset Output

Down to V

CC

= 0

The MAX6715–MAX6729 are guaranteed to operate
properly down to VCC= 0.8V. In applications that
require valid reset levels down to VCC= 0 use a pull­down resistor at RST to ground. The resistor value used
is not critical, but it must be large enough not to load
the reset output when VCCis above the reset threshold.
For most applications, 100kΩ is adequate. This config­uration does not work for the open-drain outputs of the
MAX6715/MAX6717/MAX6719/MAX6721/MAX6723/
MAX6725/MAX6727/MAX6728. For push-pull, active­high RST output connect the external resistor as a
pullup from RST to V

CC

Applications Information

Interfacing to µPs with Bidirectional

Reset Pins

Most microprocessors with bidirectional reset pins can
interface directly to open-drain RST output options.
Systems simultaneously requiring a push-pull RST out-
put and a bidirectional reset interface can be in logic
contention. To prevent contention, connect a 4.7kΩ
resistor between RST and the µP’s reset I/O port as
shown in Figure 4.

Adding Hysteresis to the Power-Fail

Comparator

The power-fail comparator has a typical input hysteresis
of 3mV. This is sufficient for most applications where a
power-supply line is being monitored through an external
voltage-divider (see the Power-Fail Comparator section).
If additional noise margin is desired, connect a resistor
between PFO and PFI as shown in Figure 5. Select the
values of R1, R2, and R3 so PFI sees V

PFI

(626mV) when

V

EXT

falls to its power-fail trip point (V

FAIL

) and when VIN

rises to its power-good trip point (V

GOOD

). The hysteresis

window extends between the specified V

FAIL

and V

GOOD

thresholds. R3 adds the additional hysteresis by sinking
current from the R1/R2 divider network when PFO is logic
low and sourcing current into the network when PFO is
logic high. R3 is typically an order of magnitude greater
than R1 or R2.

The current through R2 should be at least 2.5µA to
ensure that the 25nA (max) PFI input current does not
significantly shift the trip points. Therefore, R2 <
V

PFI

/2.5µA < 248kΩ for most applications. R3 will provide

additional hysteresis for PFO push-pull (VOH= VCC1) or
open-drain (VOH= V

PULLUP

) applications.

Monitoring an Additional Power Supply

These µP 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 µP
or cause reset to assert (Figure 3).

Monitoring a Negative Voltage

The power-fail comparator can be used to monitor a
negative supply voltage using the circuit shown in
Figure 3. When the negative supply is valid, PFO is low.
When the negative supply voltage drops, PFO goes
high. The circuit’s accuracy is affected by the PFI
threshold tolerance, VCC, R1, and R2.

Negative-Going VCCTransients

The MAX6715–MAX6729 supervisors are relatively
immune to short-duration negative-going VCCtransients
(glitches). It is usually undesirable to reset the µP when
VCCexperiences only small glitches. The Typical
Operating Characteristics show Maximum Transient
Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive, for which reset
pulses are not generated. The graph was produced
using negative-going VCCpulses, starting above V

TH

and ending below the reset threshold by the magnitude
indicated (reset threshold overdrive). The graph shows
the maximum pulse width that a negative-going V

CC

transient may 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. A 0.1µF
bypass capacitor mounted close to the V

CC

pin pro-

vides 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 to closely monitor software execution.
This technique avoids a “stuck” loop where the watch­dog timer continues to be reset within the loop, keeping
the watchdog from timing out. Figure 6 shows an exam­ple 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 I/O is
continually set low and the watchdog timer is allowed to
time out, causing a reset or interrupt to be issued.
