Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
General Description
The MAX696/MAX697 supervisory circuits reduce the
complexity and number of components required for
power-supply monitoring and battery-control functions
in microprocessor (µP) systems. These include µP reset
and backup-battery switchover, watchdog timer, CMOS
RAM write protection, and power-failure warning. The
MAX696/MAX697 significantly improve system reliability
and accuracy compared to that obtained with separate
ICs or discrete components.
The MAX696 and MAX697 are supplied in 16-pin pack-
ages and perform six functions:
1) A reset output during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions. The threshold for this “low-
line” reset is adjustable by an external voltage-
divider.
2) A reset pulse if the optional watchdog timer has not
been toggled within a specified time.
3) Individual outputs for low-line and watchdog fault
conditions.
4) The reset time may be left at its default value of
50ms, or may be varied with an external capacitor
or clock pulses.
5) A separate 1.3V threshold detector for power-fail
warning, low-battery detection, or to monitor a
power supply other than V
CC
.
The MAX696 also has battery-backup switching for
CMOS RAM, CMOS microprocessor, or other low-
power logic.
The MAX697 lacks battery-backup switching, but has
write-protection pins (CE IN and
CE
OUT) for CMOS
RAM or EPROM. In addition, it consumes less than 250
microamperes.

Note 1:
The input voltage limits on PFI and WDI may be exceeded providing the input current is limited to less than 10mA.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

NAME

OUT
V
CC

FUNCTION
Backup-Battery Input. Connect to ground if a backup battery is not used.
The higher of V
CC
or V
BATT
is internally switched to V
OUT
. Connect V
OUT
to V
CC
if
V
OUT
and V
BATT
are not used.
+5V Input
0V Ground Reference for All Signals
BATT ON goes High when V
OUT
is Internally Switched to the V
BATT
Input. It goes low
when V
OUT
is internally switched to V
CC
. The output typically sinks 7mA and can
directly drive the base of an external pnp transistor to increase the output current
above the 50mA rating of V
OUT
.
LOW LINE
goes Low when LL
IN
Falls Below 1.3V. It returns high as soon as LL
IN
rises above 1.3V. See Figure 5.
OSC IN Sets the Reset Delay Timing and Watchdog Timeout Period when OSC SEL
Floats or is Driven Low. The timing can also be adjusted by connecting an external
capacitor to this pin. See Figure 7. When OSC SEL is high, OSC IN selects between
fast and slow watchdog timeout periods
When OSC SEL is Unconnected or Driven High, the Internal Oscillator Sets the Reset
Time Delay and Watchdog Timeout Period. When OSC SEL is low, the external
oscillator input, OSC IN, is enabled. OSC SEL has a 3µA internal pullup. See Table 1.
PFI is the Noninverting Input to the Power-Fail Comparator. When PFI is less than
1.3V,
PFO
goes low. Connect PFI to GND or V
OUT
when not used. See Figure 1.
PFO
is the Output of the Power-Fail Comparator. It goes low when PFI is less than
1.3V. The comparator is turned off and
PFO
goes low when V
CC
is below V
BATT
.
The Watchdog Input, WDI, is a Three-Level Input. If WDI remains either high or low
for longer than the watchdog timeout period,
RESET
pulses low and
WDO
goes low.
The watchdog timer is disabled when WDI is left floating or is driven to mid-supply.
The timer resets with each transition at the watchdog timer input.
No Connection. Leave this pin open.
Low-Line Input. LL
IN
is the CMOS input to a comparator whose other input is a
precision 1.3V reference. The output is
LOW LINE
and is also connected to the reset
pulse generator. See Figure 2.
The Watchdog Output,
WDO,
goes Low if WDI Remains either High or Low for
Longer than the Watchdog Timeout Period.
WDO
is set high by the next transition at
WDI. If WDI is unconnected or at mid-supply,
WDO
remains high.
WDO
also goes
high when
LOW LINE
goes low.
RESET
goes Low whenever LL
IN
Falls Below 1.3V or V
CC
Falls Below the V
BATT
Input Voltage.
RESET
remains low for 50ms after LL
IN
goes above 1.3V.
RESET
also
goes low for 50ms if the watchdog timer is enabled but not serviced within its
timeout period. The
RESET
pulse width can be adjusted as shown in Table 1.
RESET is an Active-High Output. It is the inverse of
RESET.
