SOT23 Power-Supply Sequencers
General Description
The MAX6819/MAX6820 are power-supply sequencers
for dual-voltage microprocessors (µPs) and multivoltage
systems. These devices monitor a primary supply voltage
and enable/disable an external n-channel MOSFET
switch for a secondary supply voltage. The MAX6819/
MAX6820 control local component voltage sequencing
when system power-on/power-off characteristics cannot
be guaranteed (supplies come from a multivoltage sys-
tem bus, silver box, or must be sequenced in different
modes for components on the same board). These small
power-supply sequencers improve system reliability.
The MAX6819/MAX6820 include an internal voltage ref-
erence/comparator with externally adjustable thresh-
olds to monitor the primary power supply. When the
primary supply is below the desired threshold, an exter-
nal secondary supply MOSFET switch is disabled.
When the primary supply exceeds the threshold, an
internal charge pump is activated and the external
MOSFET switch is enabled to connect the secondary
supply to the load. The charge pump fully enhances the
n-channel MOSFET switch to provide a very low R
DS-
ON
voltage drop. The devices can be connected to
support various supply sequencing priorities such as
V
I/O
before V
CORE
or V
CORE
before V
I/O
.
The MAX6819 features a logic-driven EN input to
enable/disable the external MOSFET drive and includes
an internally fixed 200ms enable timeout period
(V
PRIMARY GOOD
to V
SECONDARY ENABLE
). The
MAX6820 allows the enable timeout period to be
adjusted with a single external capacitor. Both devices
are specified over the automotive temperature range
(-40°C to +125°C) and are available in space-saving
6-pin SOT23 packages.

Detailed Description
Many dual-supply processors or multivoltage boards
require one power supply to rise to the proper operat-
ing voltage before another supply is applied. Improper
sequencing can lead to chip latchup, incorrect device
initiation, or long-term reliability degradation. If the vari-
ous supply voltages are not locally generated (coming
from a main system bus, an externally purchased silver
box, or a nonsequenced power management chip),
power-on and power-off sequencing can be difficult to
control or predict. Supply loading can affect turn-
on/turn-off times from board to board.
The MAX6819/MAX6820 provide proper local voltage
sequencing in multisupply systems. The sequencers use
an external n-channel MOSFET to switch the secondary
supply to the load only when the primary supply is above
a desired operating voltage threshold. The n-channel
MOSFET operates in a default off mode when the primary
supply is below the desired threshold or if neither supply
exceeds the sequencer’s UVLO level.
When the primary supply voltage is above the set
threshold, the external MOSFET is driven on. An inter-
nal charge pump fully enhances the external MOSFET
by providing a gate-to-source voltage (V
GS
) of +5.5V
(typ). The charge pump fully enhances the MOSFET to
yield a low drain-to-source impedance (R
DS(ON)
) for
reduced switch voltage drop. The MOSFET is never dri-

ven on unless the sequencer can provide a minimum
V
GS
enhancement, ensuring that the switch MOSFET
never operates in its higher impedance linear range.
Either supply may act as the primary source, regard-
less of the voltage level, provided that V
CC1
or V
CC2
is
greater than 2.125V (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
