The MAX690A/MAX692A/MAX802L/MAX802M/MAX805L
reduce the complexity and number of components
required for power-supply monitoring and battery-control
functions in microprocessor (µP) systems. They significantly improve system reliability and accuracy compared
to separate ICs or discrete components.
These parts provide four functions:
1) A reset output during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions.
2) Battery-backup switching for CMOS RAM, CMOS
µP, or other low-power logic.
3) A reset pulse if the optional watchdog timer has not
been toggled within 1.6sec.
4) A 1.25V threshold detector for power-fail warning or
low-battery detection, or to monitor a power supply
other than +5V.
The parts differ in their reset-voltage threshold levels
and reset outputs. The MAX690A/MAX802L/MAX805L
generate a reset pulse when the supply voltage drops
below 4.65V, and the MAX692A/MAX802M generate a
reset below 4.40V. The MAX802L/MAX802M guarantee power-fail accuracies to ±2%. The MAX805L is the
same as the MAX690A except that RESET is provided
instead of RESET.
All parts are available in 8-pin DIP and SO packages.
The MAX690A/MAX802L are pin compatible with the
MAX690 and MAX694. The MAX692A/MAX802M are
pin compatible with the MAX692.

_______________Detailed Description
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a
known state. When the µP is in an unknown state, it should
be held in reset. The MAX690A/MAX692A/MAX802L/
MAX802M assert reset during power-up and prevent code
execution errors during power-down or brownout conditions.
On power-up, once VCCreaches 1V, RESET is guaran-

teed to be a logic low. As VCCrises, RESET remains
low. When VCCexceeds the reset threshold, an internal
timer keeps RESET low for a time equal to the reset
pulse width; after this interval, RESET goes high (Figure
2). If a brownout condition occurs (if VCCdips below
the reset threshold), RESET is triggered. Each time
RESET is triggered, it stays low for the reset pulse width
interval. Any time VCCgoes below the reset threshold,
the internal timer restarts the pulse. If a brownout condition interrupts a previously initiated reset pulse, the

Using a SuperCap™ as a Backup
Power Source
SuperCaps are capacitors with extremely high capacitance values, on the order of 0.1F. Figure 4 shows a
SuperCap used as a backup power source. Do not allow
the SuperCap’s voltage to exceed the maximum reset
threshold by more than 0.6V. In Figure 4’s circuit, the
SuperCap rapidly charges to within a diode drop of VCC.
However, after a long time, the diode leakage current will
pull the SuperCap voltage up to VCC. When using a
SuperCap with the MAX690A/MAX802L/MAX805L, V
may not exceed 4.75V + 0.6V = 5.35V.
Lithium batteries work very well as backup batteries due to
very low self-discharge rates and high energy density.
Single lithium batteries with open-circuit voltages of 3.0V to
3.6V are ideal. Any battery with an open-circuit voltage
less than the minimum reset threshold plus 0.3V can be
CC
Table 2. Allowable Backup-Battery Voltages
Use the SuperCap circuit of Figure 5 with a MAX692A
or MAX802M and a ±10% supply. This circuit
ensures that the SuperCap only charges to VCC-
0.5V. At the maximum VCCof 5.5V, the SuperCap
MAX690A/MAX692A/MAX802L/MAX802M/MAX805L
charges up to 5.0V, only 0.5V above the maximum
reset threshold—well within the requisite 0.6V.

However, batteries with open-circuit voltages that are
greater cannot be used for backup, as current is sourced
into the substrate through the diode (D1 in Figure 3) when

Adding Hysteresis to the
Power-Fail Comparator
Hysteresis adds a noise margin to the power-fail comparator and prevents repeated triggering of PFO when
VINis close to its trip point. Figure 6 shows how to add
hysteresis to the power-fail comparator. Select the
ratio of R1and R2such that PFI sees 1.25V when V
falls to its trip point (V
will typically be an order of magnitude greater than R
). R3adds the hysteresis. It

or R2(about 10 times either R1or R2). The current
through R1and R2should be at least 1µA to ensure
that the 25nA (max) PFI input current does not shift the
trip point. R3should be larger than 10kΩ so it does not
load down the PFO pin. Capacitor C1 adds additional
noise rejection.
Monitoring a Negative Voltage
The power-fail comparator can be used to monitor a
negative supply rail using the circuit of Figure 7. When
the negative rail is good (a negative voltage of large
magnitude), PFO is low. When the negative rail is
degraded (a negative voltage of lesser magnitude),
PFO goes high. This circuit’s accuracy is affected by
the PFI threshold tolerance, the VCCline, and the resistors.
Interfacing to µPs with
Bidirectional Reset Pins
µPs with bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola
68HC11 series, can contend with the
MAX690A/MAX692A/MAX802L/MAX802M RESET out-
put. If, for example, the RESET output is driven high
and the µP wants to pull it low, indeterminate logic levels may result. To correct this, connect a 4.7kΩ resistor between the RESET output and the µP reset I/O, as
in Figure 8. Buffer the RESET output to other system
