_______________General Description
The MAX801/MAX808 microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits monitor and control the activities of +5V µPs by
providing backup-battery switchover, low-line indication, and µP reset. Additional features include a watchdog for the MAX801 and CMOS RAM write protection
for the MAX808.
The MAX801/MAX808 offer a choice of reset-threshold
voltage (denoted by suffix letter): 4.675V (L), 4.575V
(N), and 4.425V (M). These devices are available in
8-pin DIP and SO packages.

Note 1: Either VCC or VBATT can go to 0V if the other is greater than 2V.
Note 2: The supply current drawn by the MAX80_ from the battery (excluding IOUT) typically goes to 15µA when (VBATT - 0.1V) <
VCC < VBATT. In most applications, this is a brief period as VCC falls through this region (see Typical Operating
Characteristics).
Note 3: “+” = battery-discharging current, “-” = battery-charging current.
Note 4: WDI is internally connected to a voltage divider between VCC and GND. If unconnected, WDI is typically driven to 1.8V,
disabling the watchdog function.
Note 5: The chip-enable resistance is tested with V CE IN = VCC / 2 and I CE IN = 1mA.
Note 6: The chip-enable propagation delay is measured from the 50% point at CE IN to the 50% point at CE OUT.
Note 7: If CE IN goes high, CE OUT goes high immediately and stays high until reset is deasserted and CE IN is low.

LOWLINE
Low-Line Comparator Output. This CMOS-logic output goes low when VCC falls to 52mV
above the reset threshold. Use LOWLINE to generate an NMI, initiating an orderly shutdown routine when VCC is falling. LOWLINE swings between VCC and GND.
Active-Low Reset Output. RESET is triggered and stays low when VCC is below the reset
threshold (or during a watchdog timeout for the MAX801). It remains low 200ms after
VCC rises above the reset threshold (or 200ms after the watchdog timeout occurs).
RESET has a strong pull-down but a relatively weak pull-up, and can be wire-OR connected to logic gates. Valid for VCC ≥ 1V. RESET swings between VCC and GND.

BATT
Backup-Battery Input. When VCC falls below the reset threshold and VBATT, OUT switches from VCC to BATT. VBATT may exceed VCC. The battery can be removed while the
MAX801/MAX808 is powered up, provided BATT is bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor to
GND. If no battery is used, connect BATT to ground and VCC to OUT.

OUT
Output Supply Voltage to CMOS RAM. When VCC exceeds the reset threshold or VBATT,
OUT connects to VCC. When VCC falls below the reset threshold and VBATT, OUT connects to BATT. Bypass OUT with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
Active-High Reset Output. RESET is the inverse of RESET. It is a CMOS output that
sources and sinks current. RESET swings between VCC and GND.
Chip-Enable Output. Output to the chip-enable gating circuit. CE OUT is pulled up to
the higher of VCC or VBATT when the chip-enable gate is disabled.
Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low longer than the watchdog timeout period
(typically 1.6sec), RESET will be asserted for 200ms. Leave unconnected to disable the

_______________Detailed Description
The RESET output is active low, and is implemented with
a strong pull-down/relatively weak pull-up structure. It is
guaranteed to be a logic low for 0V < VCC < VRST, provided VBATT is greater than 2V. Without a backup battery, RESET is guaranteed valid for VCC ≥ 1V.
The RESET output is the inverse of the RESET output; it
both sources and sinks current and cannot be wire-OR
connected.
The MAX801/MAX808 microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits provide power-supply monitoring and backupbattery switchover in µP systems. The MAX801 also
provides program-execution watchdog functions
(Figure 1). Use of BiCMOS technology results in an
improved, 1.5% reset-threshold precision while keeping
supply currents typically at 68µA (48µA for the
MAX808). The MAX801/MAX808 are intended for battery-powered applications that require high resetthreshold precision, allowing a wide power-supply
operating range while preventing the system from operating below its specified voltage range.
RESET and RESET Outputs
The MAX801/MAX808’s RESET output ensures that the
µP powers up in a known state, and prevents codeexecution errors during power-down and brownout
conditions. It does this by resetting the µP, terminating
program execution when V CC dips below the reset
threshold. Each time RESET is asserted, it stays low for
at least the 200ms reset timeout period (set by an internal timer) to ensure the µP has adequate time to return
to an initial state. The internal timer restarts any time
VCC goes below the reset threshold (VRST) before the
reset timeout period is completed. The watchdog timer
on the MAX801 can also initiate a reset (see the
MAX801 Watchdog Timer section).

Low-Line Comparator
The low-line comparator monitors VCC with a threshold
voltage typically 52mV above the reset threshold, with
13mV of hysteresis. Use LOWLINE to provide a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) to the µP when power begins
to fall, initiating an orderly software shutdown routine. In
most battery-operated portable systems, reserve energy in the battery provides ample time to complete the
shutdown routine once the low-line warning is encountered and before reset asserts. If the system must contend with a more rapid VCC fall time (such as when the
main battery is disconnected, when a DC-DC converter
shuts down, or when a high-side switch is opened during normal operation), use capacitance on the VCC line
to provide time to execute the shutdown routine (Figure
3). First calculate the worst-case time required for the
system to perform its shutdown routine. Then, with
worst-case shutdown time, worst-case load current,
and minimum low-line to reset threshold (VLR(min)),

Battery-Backup Mode
Battery-backup mode preserves the contents of RAM in
the event of a brownout or power failure. With a backup
battery installed at BATT, the MAX801/MAX808 automatically switches RAM to backup power when VCC falls.
Two conditions are required for switchover to batterybackup mode: 1) VCC must be below the reset threshold;
2) VCC must be below VBATT. Table 1 lists the status of
inputs and outputs during battery-backup mode.
BATT is designed to conduct up to 20mA to OUT during battery backup. The PMOS switch on-resistance is
approximately 12Ω. Figure 4 shows the two series pass
elements (between the BATT input and OUT) that
facilitate UL recognition. VBATT can exceed VCC during
normal operation without causing a reset.

MAX801 Watchdog Timer
The watchdog monitors the µP’s activity. If the µP does
not toggle the watchdog input (WDI) within 1.6sec,
reset asserts for the reset timeout period. The internal
1.6sec timer is cleared when reset asserts or when a
transition (low-to-high or high-to-low) occurs at WDI
while reset is not asserted. The timer remains cleared
and does not count as long as reset is asserted. It
starts counting as soon as reset is released (Figure 5).
Supply current is typically reduced by 10µA when WDI
is at a valid logic level. To disable the watchdog function, leave WDI unconnected. An internal voltage
divider sets WDI to about mid-supply, disabling the
watchdog timer/counter.

MAX808 Chip-Enable Gating
The MAX808 provides internal gating of chip-enable
(CE) signals to prevent erroneous data from corrupting
CMOS RAM in the event of a power failure. During normal operation, the CE gate is enabled and passes all
CE transitions. When reset is asserted, this path
becomes disabled, preventing erroneous data from
corrupting the CMOS RAM. The MAX808 uses a series
transmission gate from the chip-enable input (CE IN) to
the chip-enable output (CE OUT) (Figure 1). The 8ns
max chip-enable propagation from CE IN to CE OUT
enables the MAX808 to be used with most µPs.
The MAX808 also features write-cycle-completion circuitry. If VCC falls below the reset threshold while the
µP is writing to RAM, the MAX808 holds the CE gate
enabled for 18µs to allow the µP to complete the write
instruction. If the write cycle has not completed by the
end of the 18µs period, the CE transmission gate turns
off and CE OUT goes high. If the µP completes the
write instruction during the 18µs period, the CE gate
turns off (high impedance) and CE OUT goes high as
soon as the µP pulls CE IN high. CE OUT remains high,
even if CE IN falls low for any reason (Figure 6).
Chip-Enable Input
CE IN is high impedance (disabled mode) while reset is
asserted. During a power-down sequence when VCC
passes the reset threshold, the CE transmission gate
disables. CE IN becomes high impedance 18µs after
reset asserts, provided CE IN is still low. If the µP completes the write instruction during the 18µs period, the
CE gate turns off. CE IN becomes high impedance as
soon as the µP pulls CE IN high. CE IN remains high
impedance even if the signal at CE IN falls low (Figure
6). During a power-up sequence, CE IN remains high
impedance (regardless of CE IN activity) until reset is
deasserted following the reset timeout period.

In high-impedance mode, the leakage currents into this
input are ±1µA max over temperature. In low-impedance mode, the impedance of CE IN appears as a 75Ω
resistor in series with the load at CE OUT.
The propagation delay through the CE transmission
gate depends on both the source impedance of the
drive to CE IN and the capacitive loading on CE OUT
(see the Chip-Enable Propagation Delay vs. CE OUT
Load Capacitance graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics). The CE propagation delay is production tested from the 50% point on CE IN to the 50%
point on CE OUT using a 50Ω driver and 50pF of load
capacitance (Figure 7). For minimum propagation
delay, minimize the capacitive load at CE OUT and use
a low-output-impedance driver.

exceed VCC while VCC is above the reset threshold, no
special precautions are needed when using these µP
supervisors with a SuperCap.
__________Applications Information
The MAX801/MAX808 are not short-circuit protected.
Shorting OUT to ground, other than power-up transients
such as charging a decoupling capacitor, may destroy
the device. If long leads connect to the IC’s inputs,
ensure that these lines are free from ringing and other
conditions that would forward bias the IC’s protection
diodes. Bypass OUT, V CC , and BATT with 0.1µF
capacitors to GND.
The MAX801/MAX808 operate in two distinct modes:
1) Normal Operating Mode, with all circuitry powered
up. Typical supply current from VCC is 68µA (48µA
for the MAX808), while only leakage currents flow
from the battery.
2) Battery-Backup Mode, where VCC is below VBATT
and VRST. The supply current from the battery is typically less than 1µA.
Using SuperCaps™ or MaxCaps™
with the MAX801/MAX808
BATT has the same operating voltage range as VCC, and
the battery-switchover threshold voltage is typically
VBATT when VCC is decreasing or VBATT + 0.05V when
V CC is increasing. This hysteresis allows use of a
SuperCap (e.g., around 0.47F) and a simple charging
Backup-Battery Replacement
The backup battery can be disconnected while VCC is
above the reset threshold, provided BATT is bypassed
with a 0.1µF capacitor to ground. No precautions are
necessary to avoid spurious reset pulses.
Negative-Going VCC Transients
While issuing resets to the µP during power-up, powerdown, and brownout conditions, these supervisors are
relatively immune to short-duration, negative-going VCC
transients (glitches). It is usually undesirable to reset
the µP when VCC experiences only small glitches.
The Typical Operating Characteristics show a graph of
Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold
Overdrive, for which reset pulses are not generated.
The graph was produced using negative-going VCC
pulses, starting at 5V and ending below the reset
threshold by the magnitude indicated (reset comparator overdrive). The graph shows the maximum pulse
width that a negative-going VCC transient may typically
have without causing a reset pulse to be issued. As the
amplitude of the transient increases (i.e., goes farther
below the reset threshold), the maximum allowable
pulse width decreases. Typically, a VCC transient that
goes 40mV below the reset threshold and lasts for 3µs
or less will not cause a reset pulse to be issued. A
0.1µF bypass capacitor mounted close to the VCC pin
provides additional transient immunity.

Watchdog Software Considerations
To help the watchdog timer keep a closer watch on
software execution, you can set and reset the watchdog input at different points in the program, rather than
“pulsing” the watchdog input high-low-high or low-highlow. This technique avoids a “stuck” loop, where the
watchdog timer continues to be reset within the loop,
keeping the watchdog from timing out.
Figure 9 shows a sample flow diagram where the I/O
driving the watchdog input is set high at the beginning
of the program, low at the beginning of every subroutine or loop, then high again when the program returns
to the beginning. If the program should “hang” in any
subroutine, the I/O would be continually set low and the
watchdog timer would be allowed to time out, causing a
reset or interrupt to be issued.
Maximum VCC Fall Time
The VCC fall time is limited by the propagation delay of
the battery switchover comparator and should not
exceed 0.03V/µs. A standard rule for filter capacitance
on most regulators is around 100µF per Ampere of current. When the power supply is shut off or the main battery is disconnected, the associated initial VCC fall rate
is just the inverse, or 1A/100µF = 0.01V/µs.
