High-Accuracy μP Reset Circuit
Detailed Description
Reset Output
A microprocessor’s (μP’s) reset input starts the μP in
a known state. The MAX6394 asserts a reset signal to
prevent code-execution errors during power-up, power-
down, or brownout conditions.
RESET
is guaranteed to be
a logic-low for V
CC
> 1V (see the
Electrical Characteristics
table). Once V
CC
exceeds the reset threshold, the internal
timer keeps
RESET
asserted for the reset timeout period
(t
RP
); after this interval
RESET
goes high. If a brownout
condition occurs (monitored voltage dips below its pro-
grammed reset threshold),
RESET
goes low. Any time
V
CC
dips below the reset threshold, the internal timer
resets to zero and
RESET
goes low. The internal timer
starts when V
CC
returns above the reset threshold, and
RESET
remains low for the reset timeout period.
The MAX6394’s
RESET
output structure is a simple open-
drain n-channel MOSFET switch. Connect a pullup resis-
tor to any supply in the 0 to +6V range. Select a resistor
value large enough to register a logic-low when
RESET
is asserted (see the
Electrical Characteristics
table), and
small enough to register a logic-high while supplying all
input current and leakage paths connected to the
RESET
line. A 10kΩ pullup is sufficient in most applications.
Often, the pullup connected to the MAX6394’s
RESET
output connects to the supply voltage monitored at the
IC’s VCC pin. However, some systems may use the open-
drain output to level-shift from the monitored supply to
reset circuitry powered by some other supply (Figure 1).
This is one useful feature of an open-drain output. Keep in
mind that as the MAX6394’s V
CC
decreases below 1V, so
does the IC’s ability to sink current at
RESET.
Finally, with
any pullup,
RESET
is pulled high as V
CC
decays toward
0V. The voltage where this occurs depends on the pullup
resistor value and the voltage to which it connects (see the
Electrical Characteristics
table).

switch from
MR
to GND to create a manual reset function;
external debounce circuitry is not required. If
MR

from long cables or if the device is used in a noisy environ-
ment, connecting a 0.1μF capacitor from
MR
to ground
provides additional noise immunity.
Applications Information
Negative-Going V
CC
Transients
In addition to issuing a reset to the μP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, these devices
are relatively immune to short-duration negative-going
transients (glitches). The
Typical Operating Characteristics
show the Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold
Overdrive, for which reset pulses are not generated. The
graph was produced using negative-going pulses, starting
at VRST max and ending below the programmed reset
threshold by the magnitude indicated (reset threshold
overdrive). The graph shows the maximum pulse width
that a negative-going V
CC
transient may typically have
without causing a reset pulse to be issued. As the transient
amplitude increases (i.e., goes farther below the reset
threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width decreases.
A 0.1μF bypass capacitor mounted close to VCC provides
additional transient immunity.
Manual-Reset Input
Many μP-based products require manual-reset capability,
allowing the operator, a test technician, or external logic
circuitry to initiate a reset. A logic-low on
MR
asserts reset.
RESET
remains asserted while
MR
is low, and for the
reset active timeout period after
MR
returns high.
MR
has an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor, so it can be left
open if not used. Connect a normally open momentary
