MAX6821/MAX6825
Low-Voltage SOT23 µP Supervisors
with Manual Reset and Watchdog Timer
Features
General Description
The MAX6821–MAX6825 are low-voltage microproces-
sor (µP) supervisory circuits that combine voltage mon-
itoring, watchdog timer, and manual reset input func-
tions in a 5-pin SOT23 package. Microprocessor super-
visory circuits significantly improve system reliability and
accuracy compared to separate ICs or discrete compo-
nents. These devices assert a reset signal whenever the
monitored voltage drops below its preset threshold, keep-
ing it asserted for a minimum timeout period after V
CC
rises
above the threshold. In addition, a watchdog timer monitors
against code execution errors. A debounced manual reset
is also available. The MAX6821–MAX6825 monitor voltag-
es from +1.8V to +5.0V. These outputs are guaranteed to
be in the correct state for V
CC
down to +1.0V.
Nine preprogrammed reset threshold voltages are
available (see the
Threshold Suffix Guide).
The
MAX6821, MAX6822, and MAX6823 all have a manual
reset input and a watchdog timer. The MAX6821 has
push-pull RESET, the MAX6822 has open-drain
RESET,
and the MAX6823 has push-pull
RESET.
The MAX6824
has a watchdog timer and both push-pull
RESET
and
push-pull RESET. The MAX6825 has a manual reset
input and both push-pull
RESET
and push-pull RESET.

Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low for longer than the
watchdog timeout period, the internal watchdog timer runs out
and a reset is triggered for the reset timeout period. The internal
watchdog timer clears whenever reset is asserted, the manual

unconnected or is connected to a three-stated buffer output, the
watchdog feature is disabled.

Detailed Description
RESET/RESET
Output
A µP’s reset input starts the µP in a known state. The
MAX6821–MAX6825 µP supervisory circuits assert a
reset to prevent code-execution errors during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions. Whenever V
CC
falls below the reset threshold, the reset output asserts
low for
RESET
and high for RESET. Once V
CC
exceeds
the reset threshold, an internal timer keeps the reset out-
put asserted for the specified reset timeout period (t
RP
);
after this interval, reset output returns to its original state
(see Figure 2).
returns high.
MR
has an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor,
so it can be left open if not used. This input can be dri-
ven with CMOS logic levels or with open-drain/collector
outputs. Connect a normally open momentary switch
from
MR
to GND to create a manual reset function;
external debounce circuitry is not required. If
MR
is dri-
ven from long cables or the device is used in a noisy
environment, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from
MR
to
GND to provide additional noise immunity.
Watchdog Input
Manual Reset Input
Many µP-based products require manual reset capabili-
ty, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external
logic circuitry to initiate a reset. On the MAX6821/
MAX6822/MAX6823/MAX6825, a logic low on
MR
asserts a reset. Reset remains asserted while
MR
is
low, and for the timeout period (140ms min) after it
In the MAX6821–MAX6824, the watchdog circuit moni-
tors the µP’s activity. If the µP does not toggle (low to
high or high to low) the watchdog input (WDI) within the
watchdog timeout period (1.6s nominal), reset asserts
for the reset timoeout period. The internal 1.6s timer
can be cleared by either a reset pulse or by toggling
WDI. The WDI can detect pulses as short as 50ns.
While reset is asserted, the timer remains cleared and
does not count. As soon as reset is released, the timer
starts counting (see Figure 3).
