Superior Upgrade for MAX699
The LTC699 provides power supply monitoring for
microprocessor-based systems. The features include mi-
croprocessor reset and watchdog timing. Precise internal
voltage reference and comparator circuit monitor the
power supply line. When an out-of-tolerance condition
occurs, the RESET output is forced to active low. In
addition, the RESET output is guaranteed to remain logic
low even with V
CC
as low as 1V.
An internal watchdog timer is also available, which forces
the RESET output to active low when the watchdog input
is not toggled prior to the time-out period of 1.6 seconds.
The LTC699 is offered in DIP and surface mount packages.

RESET:
Open drain output for
µP
reset control. When V
CC
falls below the reset voltage threshold (4.65V typically),
RESET goes active low. After V
CC
returns to 5V, the reset
pulse generator forces RESET to remain active low for a
minimum of 140ms . When the watchdog timer is enabled
but not serviced prior to the time-out period, the reset
pulse generator also forces RESET to active low for a mini-
mum of 140ms for every time-out period (see Figure 2).
WDI:
Watchdog Input, WDI, is a three level input. Driving
WDI either high or low for longer than the watchdog time-
out period forces RESET low. Floating WDI disables the
Watchdog Timer. The timer resets itself with each transition
of the Watchdog Input (see Figure 2).

Microprocessor Reset
The LTC699 uses a bandgap voltage reference and a
precision voltage comparator C1 to monitor the 5V supply
input V
CC
(see BLOCK DIAGRAM). When V
CC
falls below
the reset voltage threshold, the RESET output is forced to
active low state. The reset voltage threshold accounts for
a 5% variation on V
CC
, so the RESET output becomes
active low when V
CC
falls below 4.65V typical. On power-
up, the RESET signal is held active low for a minimum of
140ms after reset voltage threshold is reached to allow the
power supply and microprocessor to stabilize. On power-

down, the RESET signal remains active low even with V
CC
as low as 1V. This capability helps hold the microproces-
sor in stable shutdown condition. Figure 1 shows the
timing diagram of the RESET signal.
The precision voltage comparator, C1, typically has 40mV
of hysteresis which ensures that glitches at V
CC
pin do not
activate the RESET output. Response time is typically
10µs. To help prevent mistriggering due to transient loads,
V
CC
pin should be bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor with the
leads trimmed as short as possible.

Watchdog Timer
The LTC699 provides a watchdog timer function to moni-
tor the activity of the microprocessor. If the microproces-
sor does not toggle the Watchdog Input (WDI) within the
time-out period, RESET is forced to active low for a
minimum of 140ms. The watchdog time-out period is
fixed at a 1.0 second minimum on the LTC699, which is
adequate time for most systems to service the watchdog
timer immediately after a reset. Figure 2 shows the timing
diagram of watchdog time-out period and reset active
time. The watchdog time-out period is restarted as soon

as RESET is inactive. When either a high-to-low or low-to-
high transition occurs at the WDI pin prior to time-out, the
watchdog time is reset and begins to time out again. To
ensure the watchdog time does not time out, either a high-
to-low or low-to-high transition on the WDI pin must
occur at or less than the minimum time-out period. If the
input to the WDI pin remains either high or low, reset
pulses will be issued every 1.6 seconds typically. The
watchdog time can be deactivated by floating the WDI pin.
The timer is also disabled when V
CC
falls below the reset
voltage threshold.
