MAXIM MAX6727A

19-0536; Rev 3; 9/08
Dual/Triple, Ultra-Low-Voltage, SOT23 µP
Supervisory Circuits
The MAX6715A–MAX6729A/MAX6797A are ultra-low-voltage microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits designed to
monitor two or three system power-supply voltages. These
devices assert a system reset if any monitored supply falls
below its factory-trimmed or adjustable threshold and maintain reset for a minimum timeout period after all supplies rise
above their thresholds. The integrated dual/triple supervisory
circuits significantly improve system reliability and reduce
size compared to separate ICs or discrete components.
These devices monitor primary supply voltages (VCC1)
from 1.8V to 5.0V and secondary supply voltages (VCC2)
from 0.9V to 3.3V with factory-trimmed reset threshold
voltage options (see the Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix
Guide). An externally adjustable RSTIN input option
allows customers to monitor a third supply voltage down
to 0.62V. These devices are guaranteed to be in the correct reset output logic state when either VCC1 or VCC2
remains greater than 0.8V.
A variety of push-pull or open-drain reset outputs along
with watchdog input, manual-reset input, and power-fail
input/output features are available (see the Selector
Guide ). Select reset timeout periods from 1.1ms to
1120ms (min) (see the Reset Timeout Period Suffix
Guide). The MAX6715A–MAX6729A/MAX6797A are available in small 5-, 6-, and 8-pin SOT23 packages and operate over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

T = Tape and reel.
Note: The first “_ _” are placeholders for the threshold voltage
levels of the devices. Desired threshold levels are set by the part
number suffix found in the Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide.
The “_” after the D is a placeholder for the reset timeout delay
time. Desired delay time is set using the timeout period suffix
found in the Reset Timeout Period Suffix Guide. For example, the
MAX6716AUTLTD3-T is a dual-voltage supervisor V TH 1 =
4.625V, VTH2 = 3.075V, and 210ms (typ) timeout period.

and the reset output
asserts for the reset
timeout period. The
internal watchdog timer
clears whenever a reset is
asserted or WDI sees a
rising or falling edge. The
watchdog has a long
startup period (35s min)
after each reset event and
a short watchdog timeout
period (1.12s min) after
the first valid WDI
transition. Leave WDI
unconnected to disable
the watchdog timer. The
WDI unconnected-state
detector uses a small
200nA current source.
Therefore, do not connect
WDI to anything that will
source more than 50nA.
RSTIN
Undervoltage Reset
Comparator Input. Highimpedance input for
adjustable reset monitor.
The reset output is
asserted when RSTIN falls
below the 0.626V internal
reference voltage. Set the
monitored voltage reset
threshold with an external
resistor-divider network.
Connect RSTIN to VCC1
or VCC2 if not used.

Supervisory Circuits
Detailed Description
Supply Voltages
The MAX6715A–MAX6729A/MAX6797A µP supervisory
circuits maintain system integrity by alerting the µP to
fault conditions. These ICs are optimized for systems
that monitor two or three supply voltages. The outputreset state is guaranteed to remain valid while either
VCC1 or VCC2 is above 0.8V.
Adjustable Input Voltage
The MAX6719A/MAX6720A and MAX6723A–MAX6727A
provide an additional input to monitor a third system voltage. The threshold voltage at RSTIN is typically 626mV.
Connect a resistor-divider network to the circuit as shown
in Figure 1 to establish an externally controlled threshold
voltage, VEXT_TH.
VEXT_TH = 626mV((R1 + R2)/R2)
Threshold Levels
Input-voltage threshold level combinations are indicated by a two-letter code in the Reset Voltage Threshold
Suffix Guide (Table 1). Contact factory for availability of
other voltage threshold combinations.
Reset Outputs
The MAX6715A–MAX6729A/MAX6797A provide an
active-low reset output (RST) and the MAX6725A/
MAX6726A also provide an active-high (RST) output.
RST, RST, RST1, and RST2 are asserted when the voltage at either V CC1 or V CC2 falls below the voltage
threshold level, RSTIN drops below threshold, or MR is
pulled low. Once reset is asserted, it stays low for the
reset timeout period (see Table 2). If VCC1, VCC2, or
RSTIN goes below the reset threshold before the reset
timeout period is completed, the internal timer restarts.
The MAX6715A/MAX6717A/MAX6719A/MAX6721A/
MAX6723A/MAX6725A/MAX6727A/MAX6728A contain
open-drain reset outputs, while the MAX6716A/
MAX6718A/MAX6720A/MAX6722A/MAX6724A/
MAX6726A/MAX6729A/MAX6797A contain push-pull
reset outputs. The MAX6727A provides two separate
open-drain RST outputs driven by the same internal logic.
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 the reset output. Reset remains asserted while
MR is low for the reset timeout period (tRP) after MR
returns high. This input has an internal 50kΩ pullup
resistor to VCC1 and can be left unconnected if not
used. MR 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 manualreset function; external debounce circuitry is not
required. If MR is driven from long cables or if the
device is used in a noisy environment, connect a 0.1µF
capacitor from MR to GND to provide additional noise
immunity.
Low-leakage current at RSTIN allows the use of largevalued resistors resulting in reduced power consumption of the system.
Watchdog Input
The watchdog monitors µP activity through the watchdog input (WDI). To use the watchdog function, connect WDI to a bus line or µP I/O line. When WDI
remains high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout period, the reset output asserts.
The MAX6721A–MAX6729A/MAX6797A include a dualmode watchdog timer to monitor µP activity. The flexible timeout architecture provides a long period initial
watchdog mode, allowing complicated systems to
complete lengthy boots, and a short period normal
watchdog mode, allowing the supervisor to provide
quick alerts when processor activity fails. After each
reset event (VCC power-up/brownout, manual reset, or
watchdog reset), there is a long initial watchdog period
of 35s minimum. The long watchdog period mode provides an extended time for the system to power-up and
fully initialize all µP and system components before
assuming responsibility for routine watchdog updates.

Power-Fail Comparator
PFI is the noninverting input to a comparator. If PFI is
less than VPFI (626.5mV), PFO goes low. Common uses
for the power-fail comparator include monitoring preregulated input of the power supply (such as a battery) or
providing an early power-fail warning so software can
conduct an orderly system shutdown. It can also be
used to monitor supplies other than VCC1 or VCC2 by
setting the power-fail threshold with a resistor-divider, as
shown in Figure 3. PFI is the input to the power-fail comparator. The typical comparator delay is 2µs from PFI to
PFO. Connect PFI to ground of VCC1 if unused.
Ensuring a Valid Reset Output
Down to VCC = 0V
The MAX6715A–MAX6729A/MAX6797A are guaranteed
to operate properly down to VCC = 0.8V. In applications
that require valid reset levels down to VCC = 0V, use a
pulldown resistor at RST to ground. The resistor value
used is not critical, but it must be large enough not to
load the reset output when VCC is above the reset threshold. For most applications, 100kΩ is adequate. This configuration does not work for the open-drain outputs of the
MAX6715A/MAX6717A/MAX6719A/MAX6721A/
MAX6723A/MAX6725A/MAX6727A/MAX6728A. For pushpull, active-high RST output connect the external resistor
as a pullup from RST to VCC1.

The normal watchdog timeout period (1.12s min)
begins after the first transition on WDI before the conclusion of the long initial watchdog period (Figure 2).
During the normal operating mode, the supervisor will
issue a reset pulse for the reset timeout period if the µP
does not update the WDI with a valid transition (high-tolow or low-to-high) within the standard timeout period
(1.12s min).
Leave WDI unconnected to disable the watchdog timer.
The WDI unconnected-state detector uses a small
(200nA typ) current source. Therefore, do not connect
WDI to anything that will source more than 50nA.

Applications Information
Interfacing to µPs with Bidirectional
Reset Pins
Most µPs with bidirectional reset pins can interface
directly to open-drain RST output options. Systems
simultaneously requiring a push-pull RST output and a
bidirectional reset interface can be in logic contention.
To prevent contention, connect a 4.7kΩ resistor
between RST and the µP’s reset I/O port as shown in
Figure 4.
Adding Hysteresis to the Power-Fail
Comparator
The power-fail comparator has a typical input hysteresis
of 3mV. This is sufficient for most applications where a
power-supply line is being monitored through an external
voltage-divider (see the Power-Fail Comparator section).
If additional noise margin is desired, connect a resistor
between PFO and PFI as shown in Figure 5. Select the
values of R1, R2, and R3 so PFI sees VPFI (626mV) when
VEXT falls to its power-fail trip point (VFAIL) and when VIN
rises to its power-good trip point (VGOOD). The hysteresis
window extends between the specified VFAIL and VGOOD
thresholds. R3 adds the additional hysteresis by sinking
current from the R1/R2 divider network when PFO is
logic-low and sourcing current into the network when PFO
is logic-high. R3 is typically an order of magnitude greater
than R1 or R2.
The current through R2 should be at least 2.5µA to ensure
that the 100nA (max) PFI input current does not significantly shift the trip points. Therefore, R2 < VPFI/10µA <
62kΩ for most applications. R3 will provide additional hysteresis for PFO push-pull (VOH = VCC1) or open-drain
(VOH = VPULLUP) applications.
Monitoring an Additional Power Supply
These µP supervisors can monitor either positive or
negative supplies using a resistor voltage-divider to
PFI. PFO can be used to generate an interrupt to the µP
or cause reset to assert (Figure 3).
Monitoring a Negative Voltage
The power-fail comparator can be used to monitor a
negative supply voltage using the circuit shown in
Figure 3. When the negative supply is valid, PFO is low.
When the negative supply voltage drops, PFO goes
high. The circuit’s accuracy is affected by the PFI
threshold tolerance, VCC, R1, and R2.
Negative-Going VCC Transients
The MAX6715A–MAX6729A/MAX6797A 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 Maximum
Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive, for
which reset pulses are not generated. The graph was
produced using negative-going VCC pulses, starting
above VTH and ending below the reset threshold by the

Watchdog Software Considerations
Setting and resetting the watchdog input at different
points in the program, rather than “pulsing” the watchdog input high-low-high or low-high-low, helps the
watchdog timer to closely monitor software execution.
This technique avoids a “stuck” loop where the watchdog timer continues to be reset within the loop, keeping
the watchdog from timing out. Figure 6 shows an example 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 I/O is
continually set low and the watchdog timer is allowed to
time out, causing a reset or interrupt to be issued.
MAX6715A–MAX6729A/MAX6797A
magnitude indicated (reset threshold overdrive). The
graph shows the maximum pulse width that a negativegoing 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. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor mounted close to
the VCC pin provides additional transient immunity.
