4-Pin µP Voltage Monitors with Pin-Selectable
Power-On Reset Timeout Delay
General Description
The MAX821/MAX822 microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits monitor power supplies in µP and digital sys-
tems. They provide excellent circuit reliability and low
cost by eliminating external components and adjust-
ments when used with 5V-powered or 3V-powered cir-
cuits. The MAX821/MAX822 also provide a power-on
reset timeout delay that is pin selectable to 1ms (max),
20ms (min), or 100ms (min).
These devices perform a single function: they assert a
reset signal whenever the V
CC
supply voltage falls
below a preset threshold, and they keep reset asserted
for the pin-selected reset timeout delay after V
CC
has
risen above the reset threshold. The only difference
between the two devices is that the MAX821 has an
active-low
RESET
output (which is guaranteed to be in
the correct state for V
CC
down to 1V), while the
MAX822 has an active-high RESET output. The reset
comparator is designed to ignore fast transients on
V
CC
. Reset thresholds suitable for operation with a vari-
ety of supply voltages are available.
Low supply current makes the MAX821/MAX822 ideal
for use in portable equipment. These devices come in a
4-pin SOT143 package.

4-Pin µP Voltage Monitors with Pin-Selectable
Power-On Reset Timeout Delay
_______________Detailed Description
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a
known state. These
µP
supervisory circuits assert reset
to prevent code-execution errors during power-up,
power-down, or brownout conditions. They also provide
a reset timeout delay that is pin programmable to 1ms
(max), 20ms (min), or 100ms (min). This feature allows
flexibility in designing bar-code scanners, hand-held
devices, and other applications that require quick or
nonstandard power-up times.
The MAX821’s
RESET
output is guaranteed to be a
logic low for V
CC
> 1V. Once V
CC
exceeds the reset
threshold, an internal timer keeps
RESET
low for the
reset timeout period, as determined by the Set Reset
Timeout (SRT) input. See the
Setting the Reset Timeout
Delay
section.
If a brownout condition occurs (V
CC
dips below the
reset threshold),
RESET
goes low. Any time V
CC
goes
below the reset threshold, the internal timer resets to
zero, and
RESET
goes low. The internal timer begins
counting after V
CC
returns above the reset threshold,
and
RESET
remains low for the reset timeout period.
The MAX822 has an active-high RESET output that is
the inverse of the MAX821’s
RESET
output.

Figure 1. Maximum Transient Duration Without Causing a
Reset Pulse vs. Comparator Overdrive
__________Applications Information
Negative-Going V
CC
Transients
While designed to issue a reset to the microprocessor
(µP) during power-up, power-down, and brownout con-
ditions, the MAX821/MAX822 are relatively immune to
short-duration, negative-going V
CC
transients (glitches).
Figure 1 shows the maximum transient duration vs. reset
comparator overdrive for which the MAX821/MAX822
typically do not generate a reset pulse. This graph was
generated using a negative-going pulse applied to V
CC
,
starting above the actual reset threshold and ending
below it by the magnitude indicated (reset comparator
overdrive). The graph indicates the typical maximum
pulse width a negative-going V
CC
transient may have
without causing a reset pulse to be issued. As the mag-
nitude of the transient increases (goes farther below the
reset threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width
decreases. Typically, for the MAX821/MAX822, a V
CC
transient that goes 100mV below the reset threshold and
lasts 12µs or less will not cause a reset pulse to be
issued. A 0.1µF capacitor mounted as close as possible
to V
CC
can provide additional transient immunity, if
desired.
Setting the Reset Timeout Delay
Use the three-level Set Reset Timeout (SRT) input to set
the reset timeout delay. Connect SRT to GND for a 1ms
(max) delay; connect it to V
CC
for a 20ms (min) delay;
or leave it unconnected for a 100ms (min) delay.
If you choose to drive the SRT pin with an external sig-
nal, make sure the signal source can charge/discharge
the capacitance on SRT quickly enough (<500µs) to
avert an unintended reset timeout delay.
To ensure proper operation when selecting the 100ms
timeout (SRT = unconnected), minimize capacitive
loading on the SRT pin (< 200pF). Excessive capacitive
loading can select an unintended faster timeout mode.
Reset Threshold Accuracy
The MAX821/MAX822 are designed to meet their worst-
case specifications over their entire operating tempera-
ture range. Choose a reset threshold guaranteed to
assert at a voltage below the power supply’s regulation
range and above the minimum specified operating volt-
age range for the system’s ICs.
