MAX823/MAX824/MAX825
_______________General Description
The MAX823/MAX824/MAX825* microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits combine reset output, watchdog,
and manual-reset input functions in a 5-pin SOT23-5
package. They significantly improve system reliability
and accuracy compared to separate ICs or discrete
components. The MAX823/MAX824/MAX825 are
specifically designed to ignore fast transients on VCC.
Five preprogrammed reset threshold voltages are
available, designated by the following package
suffixes: L = 4.63V, M = 4.38V, T = 3.08V, S = 2.93V,
and R = 2.63V. All three devices have an active-low
reset output, which is guaranteed to be in the correct
state for VCC down to 1V. The MAX824/MAX825 also
have an active-high reset output. The following Selector
Guide explains the functions offered in this series of
parts.

Over-temperature limits are guaranteed by design and not production tested.
The RESET short-circuit current is the maximum pull-up current when RESET is driven low by a µP bidirectional reset pin.
WDI is internally serviced within the watchdog period if WDI is left unconnected.
The WDI input current is specified as the average input current when the WDI input is driven high or low. The WDI input is
designed to drive a three-stated-output device with a 10µA maximum leakage current and a maximum capacitive load of
200pF. This output device must be able to source and sink at least 200µA when active.

low whenever VCC is below the reset threshold or when MR is a logic low. It
remains low for 200ms after one of the following occurs: VCC rises above the
reset threshold, the watchdog triggers a reset, or MR goes low to high.

WDI
Watchdog Input. If WDI remains either high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout period, the internal watchdog timer runs out and a reset is triggered. The internal watchdog timer clears whenever reset is asserted, or
whenever WDI sees a rising or falling edge. If WDI is left unconnected or is
connected to a three-stated buffer output, the watchdog feature is disabled.

MAX823/MAX824/MAX825
5-Pin Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
_______________Detailed Description
RESET Output
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a
known state. The MAX823/MAX824/MAX825 µP supervisory circuits assert a reset to prevent code-execution
errors during power-up, power-down, and brownout
conditions. RESET is guaranteed to be a logic low for
VCC down to 1V. Once VCC exceeds the reset threshold, an internal timer keeps RESET low for the specified
reset timeout period (tRP); after this interval, RESET
returns high (Figure 2).
If a brownout condition occurs (VCC dips below the
reset threshold), RESET goes low. Each time RESET is
asserted it stays low for the reset timeout period. Any
time VCC goes below the reset threshold the internal
timer restarts. RESET both sources and sinks current.
RESET on the MAX824/MAX825 is the inverse of
RESET.
Watchdog Input (MAX823/MAX824)
In the MAX823/MAX824, the watchdog circuit monitors
the µP’s activity. If the µP does not toggle the watchdog
input (WDI) within tWD (1.6sec), reset asserts. The internal 1.6sec timer is cleared by either a reset pulse or by
toggling WDI, which detects 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 (Figure 3).
Disable the watchdog function by leaving WDI unconnected or by three-stating the driver connected to WDI.
The watchdog input is internally driven low during the
first 7/8 of the watchdog timeout period and high for the
last 1/8 of the watchdog timeout period. When WDI is
left unconnected, this internal driver clears the 1.6sec
timer every 1.4sec. When WDI is three-stated or unconnected, the maximum allowable leakage current is
10µA and the maximum allowable load capacitance is
200pF.
Manual-Reset Input (MAX823/MAX825)
__________Applications Information
Many µP-based products require manual-reset capability, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external
logic circuitry to initiate a reset. On the MAX823/
MAX825, a logic low on MR asserts reset. Reset remains
asserted while MR is low, and for tRP (200ms nominal)
after it returns high. MR has an internal 52kΩ pull-up
resistor, so it can be left open if not used. This input can
be driven 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
driven 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.
The MAX823/MAX824 WDI inputs are internally driven
through a buffer and series resistor from the watchdog
counter (Figure 1). When WDI is left unconnected, the
watchdog timer is serviced within the watchdog timeout
period by a low-high-low pulse from the counter chain.
For minimum watchdog input current (minimum overall
power consumption), leave WDI low for the majority of
the watchdog timeout period, pulsing it low-high-low
once within the first 7/8 of the watchdog timeout period
to reset the watchdog timer. If WDI is externally driven
high for the majority of the timeout period, up to 160µA
can flow into WDI.

5-Pin Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
The RESET output maximum pull-up current is 800µA
for L/M versions (400µA for T/S/R versions). This allows
µPs with bidirectional resets, such as the 68HC11, to
force RESET low when the MAX823/MAX824/MAX825
are pulling RESET high (Figure 4).
Negative-Going VCC Transients
These supervisors are relatively immune to shortduration, negative-going VCC transients (glitches), which
usually do not require the entire system to shut down.
Resets are issued to the µP during power-up, powerdown, and brownout conditions.
The Typical Operating Characteristics show a graph of
the MAX823L’s Maximum VCC 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
threshold overdrive). The graph shows the maximum
pulse width that a negative-going VCC transient can
typically have without triggering a reset pulse. 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 100mV below the reset threshold and lasts for
15µs or less will not trigger a reset pulse.
An optional 0.1µF bypass capacitor mounted close to
VCC provides additional transient immunity.
Watchdog Software Considerations
(MAX823/MAX824)
One way to help the watchdog timer monitor software
execution more closely is to 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, in which the
watchdog timer would continue to be reset inside the
loop, keeping the watchdog from timing out.
Figure 5 shows an example of a flow diagram where the
I/O driving the watchdog input is set high at the beginning of the program, set low at the beginning of every
subroutine or loop, then set high again when the program returns to the beginning. If the program should
hang in any subroutine, the problem would quickly be
corrected, since the I/O is continually set low and the
watchdog timer is allowed to time out, causing a reset
or interrupt to be issued. As described in the Watchdog
Input Current section, this scheme results in higher time
average WDI input current than does leaving WDI low
for the majority of the timeout period and periodically
pulsing it low-high-low.
