The MAX16072/MAX16073/MAX16074 ultra-small, ultralow-power, microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits
feature a precision band-gap reference, comparator,
and internally trimmed resistors that set the threshold
voltage. Designed to monitor the system supply voltage
and assert an output during power-up, power-down,
and brownout conditions, these devices provide excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external
components and adjustments when monitoring nominal
system voltage from 1.8V to 3.6V.
The MAX16072 has a push-pull, active-low reset output,
the MAX16073 has a push-pull, active-high reset output,
and the MAX16074 has an open-drain active-low reset
output. The devices are designed to ignore fast transients on VCC. The devices also include a manual reset
input (MR).
The MAX16072/MAX16073/MAX16074 are available in a
1mm x 1mm, space-saving, 4-bump, chip-scale package (UCSPTM).

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Active-Low Push-Pull Reset Output. RESET changes from high to

low when VCC drops below the detector threshold (VTH) or MR is
pulled low. RESET remains low for the reset timeout period after VCC
exceeds VTH and MR is high. When MR is low, RESET is low.
Active-High Push-Pull Reset Output. RESET changes from low to
high when VCC drops below the detector threshold (VTH) or MR is
pulled low. RESET remains high for the reset timeout period after VCC
exceeds VTH and MR is high. When MR is low, RESET is high.
Active-Low Open-Drain Reset Output. RESET changes from highimpedance to active-low when VCC drops below the detector threshold (VTH) or MR is pulled low. RESET remains low for the reset timeout
period after VCC exceeds the reset threshold and MR is high. When
MR is low, RESET is low.
Supply Voltage and Input for the Reset Threshold Monitor
Active-Low Manual-Reset Input. Drive low to force a reset. Reset
remains active as long as MR is low and for the reset timeout period (if
applicable) after MR is driven high. MR has an internal pullup resistor
connected to V
and may be left unconnected if not used.

Detailed Description
The MAX16072/MAX16073/MAX16074 ultra-small, ultralow-power, µP supervisory circuits feature a precision
band-gap reference, comparator, and internally trimmed
resistors that set specified trip threshold voltages.
Designed to monitor the system supply voltage and an
output during power-up, power-down, and brownout
conditions, these devices provide excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating external components
MAX16072/MAX16073/MAX16074
and adjustments when monitoring nominal system voltage from 1.8V to 3.6V.
The MAX16072 has a push-pull active-low reset output,
the MAX16073 has a push-pull active-high reset output,
and the MAX16074 has an open-drain active-low reset

MR
output. The devices are designed to ignore fast transients on VCC. The devices also include a manual reset
input (MR). When MR is low, reset is asserted. When MR
is high and VCC is above the detector threshold (VTH),
reset is not asserted.
Supply and Monitored Input (VCC)
The MAX16072/MAX16073/MAX16074 operate with a
VCC supply voltage from 1.2V to 2.75V. VCC has a rising
threshold of VTH + V
When VCC rises above VTH + V
RESET goes high (RESET goes low) after the reset timeout period (tRP). See Figure 1.
When VCC falls below VTH, RESET goes low (RESET
goes high) after a fixed delay (tRD).
Many FP-based products require manual-reset capability, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external
logic circuit to initiate a reset. A logic-low on MR asserts
reset. Reset remains asserted while MR is low, and for
the reset active timeout period (tRP) or delay (tON) after
MR returns high. This input has an internal 50kI pullup
resistor, so it can be left unconnected if it is not used.
MR can be driven with TTL or CMOS logic levels, or
with open-drain/collector outputs. For manual operation,
connect a normally open momentary switch from MR to
GND; external debouncing circuitry is not required. If MR
is driven from long cables or if the device is used in a
noisy environment, connect a 0.1FF capacitor from MR to
ground to provide additional noise immunity.
Applications Information
Interfacing to µP with
Bidirectional Reset Pins
Since RESET on the MAX16074 is open-drain, this
device interfaces easily with FPs that have bidirectional
reset pins. Connecting the FP supervisor’s RESET output
directly to the FP’s RESET pin with a single pullup resistor allows either device to assert reset (Figure 2).
Negative-Going VCC Transients
The MAX16072/MAX16073/MAX16074 family of devices is relatively immune to short-duration, negativegoing VCC transients (glitches). The Typical Operating Characteristics show the Maximum Transient Duration
vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive graph, for which reset
pulses are not generated. The graph shows the maximum pulse width that a negative-going VCC transient
may typically have when issuing a reset signal. As the
amplitude of the transient increases, the maximum allowable pulse width decreases.
