General Description
The MAX6854–MAX6869 ultra-low-current (170nA, typ)
microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits combine voltage monitoring, watchdog timer, and manual reset input
functions in a 5-pin SOT23 package. These devices
assert a reset signal whenever the monitored voltage
drops below the factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage,
manual reset is asserted, or the watchdog timer expires.
The reset output remains asserted for a minimum timeout
period after VCCrises above the reset threshold and
manual reset is deasserted. Factory-trimmed reset
threshold voltages are offered from +1.575V to +4.625V
in approximately 100mV increments (see Threshold
Suffix Guide). Each device is offered with six minimum
reset timeout options, ranging from 10ms to 1200ms.
The MAX6854–MAX6869 are offered in a variety of configurations (see Selector Guide). The MAX6854–
MAX6856 and MAX6861–MAX6869 provide a manual
reset input, MR. The MAX6864–MAX6869 offer a watchdog timer that monitors activity at the WDI input for code
execution errors. The MAX6864–MAX6869 offer watchdog timeout options of 3.3s or 209s (typ). The
MAX6861–MAX6863 feature a pin-selectable reset delay
period of 10ms or 150ms (min). Push-pull active-low,
push-pull active-high, and open-drain active-low reset
outputs are available.

NAME FUNCTION
1—RESET
Active-Low Open-Drain or Push-Pull Reset Output. RESET transitions from high to
low when V
CC
drops below the selected reset threshold or MR is pulled low.
RESET remains low for the reset timeout period after V
CC
exceeds the device
reset threshold and MR deasserts. Push-pull RESET outputs are referenced to
V
CC
. Open-drain RESET outputs require an external pullup resistor.
2, 4 2, 4 GND Ground. Connect all GND inputs to the same potential.
33MR
Active-Low Manual Reset Input. Drive MR low to initiate a reset. The reset output
remains asserted while MR is held low and for the reset timeout period after MR
transitions high. Leave MR unconnected or connect to V
CC
if unused. MR is
internally pulled up to V
CC
through 10kΩ.
55V
CC
Supply Voltage. Input for VCC reset monitor. For noisy systems, bypass VCC with
a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
—1RESET
Active-High Push-Pull Reset Output. RESET transitions from low to high when
V
CC
drops below the selected reset threshold or MR is pulled low. RESET
remains high for the reset timeout period after V
CC
exceeds the device reset
threshold and MR deasserts. RESET is referenced to V
CC
