Nanopower µP Supervisory Circuits with
Optional Manual Reset, Watchdog Timer
The MAX6854–MAX6869 ultra-low-current (170nA, typ)
microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits combine voltage monitoring, watchdog timer, and manual reset input
functions in a 5-pin SOT23 package. These devices
assert a reset signal whenever the monitored voltage
drops below the factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage,
manual reset is asserted, or the watchdog timer expires.
The reset output remains asserted for a minimum timeout
period after VCC rises above the reset threshold and
manual reset is deasserted. Factory-trimmed reset
threshold voltages are offered from +1.575V to +4.625V
in approximately 100mV increments (see Threshold
Suffix Guide). Each device is offered with six minimum
reset timeout options, ranging from 10ms to 1200ms.
The MAX6854–MAX6869 are offered in a variety of configurations (see Selector Guide). The MAX6854–
MAX6856 and MAX6861–MAX6869 provide a manual
reset input, MR. The MAX6864–MAX6869 offer a watchdog timer that monitors activity at the WDI input for code
execution errors. The MAX6864–MAX6869 offer watchdog timeout options of 3.3s or 209s (typ). The
MAX6861–MAX6863 feature a pin-selectable reset delay
period of 10ms or 150ms (min). Push-pull active-low,
push-pull active-high, and open-drain active-low reset
outputs are available.

Detailed Description
RESET/RESET Output
A µP’s reset input starts the µP in a known state. The
MAX6854–MAX6869 µP supervisory circuits assert a
reset to prevent code-execution errors during powerup, power-down, and brownout conditions. The
MAX6854–MAX6869 reset output is guaranteed to be
valid for VCC down to 1.1V.
Whenever VCC 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 output asserted for the specified
reset timeout period, then after this interval the reset
output deasserts (see Figure 2).
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. The MAX6854/
MAX6855/MAX6856/MAX6861–MAX6869 feature an
MR input. A logic low on MR asserts a reset. Reset
remains asserted while MR is low and for the timeout
period, tRP, after MR returns high. The devices provide
an internal 10kΩ pullup from MR to VCC. Leave MR
unconnected or connect to VCC if unused. 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 implement a manual reset
function; external debounce circuitry is not required. If
MR is driven by 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
The MAX6864–MAX6869’s watchdog timer circuitry
monitors 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 (tWDI), reset asserts
for the reset timeout period (tRP). The internal timer is
cleared when reset asserts, when manual reset is
asserted, or by a rising or falling edge on WDI. The
watchdog input detects pulses as short as 150ns.
While reset is asserted the watchdog timer does not
count. As soon as reset deasserts, the watchdog timer
resumes counting (Figure 3).
Applications Information
Selecting the Reset Timeout Period
The reset timeout period for the MAX6854–
MAX6860/MAX6864–MAX6869 is fixed (see Table 4).
The MAX6861/MAX6862/MAX6863 feature a reset timeout select input, CT. Connect CT according to Table 1
to select between the available 10ms and 150ms (min)
reset timeout periods. The timeout period can be
changed while a reset timeout period is in progress,
but will not update until the reset timeout period has
expired.

MAX6854–MAX6869
Nanopower µP Supervisory Circuits with
Optional Manual Reset, Watchdog Timer
Transient Immunity
In addition to issuing a reset to the µP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, the MAX6854–
MAX6869 are relatively immune to short-duration supply
transients, or glitches. The Maximum Transient Duration
vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive graph in the Typical
Operating Characteristics shows this relationship.
The area below the curve of the graph is the region in
which these devices typically do not generate a reset
pulse. This graph was generated using a falling pulse
applied to VCC, starting 100mV above the actual reset
threshold, VTH, and ending below this threshold (resetthreshold overdrive). As the magnitude of the transient
increases, the maximum allowable pulse width
decreases. Typically, a 100mV VCC transient duration
of 40µs or less does not cause a reset.
Interfacing to Other Voltages for Logic
Compatibility
The open-drain RESET output can be used to interface
to a µP with other logic levels. As shown in Figure 4, the
open-drain output can be connected to voltages from 0
to 5.5V.
Generally, the pullup resistor connected to RESET connects to the supply voltage that is being monitored at
the IC’s VCC input. However, some systems use the
open-drain output to level-shift from the monitored sup-
1.8V
ply to reset circuitry powered by another supply voltage.
Keep in mind that as the supervisor’s VCC decreases,
so does the IC’s ability to sink current at RESET.
Ensuring a Valid RESET Down to VCC = 0V
(Push-Pull RESET)
When VCC falls below 1.1V, RESET’s current-sinking
capability declines drastically. The high-impedance
CMOS logic inputs connected to RESET can drift to
undetermined voltages. This presents no problems in
most applications, since most µPs and other circuitry
do not operate with VCC below 1.1V.
In those applications where RESET must be valid down
to 0, add a pulldown resistor between RESET and GND
for the MAX6854/MAX6857/MAX6858/MAX6861/
MAX6864/MAX6867 push-pull outputs. The resistor sinks
any stray leakage currents, holding RESET low (Figure
5). Choose a pulldown resistor that accommodates leakages, such that RESET is not significantly loaded and is
capable of pulling to GND. The external pulldown cannot
be used with the open-drain reset outputs.
Watchdog Software Considerations
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 6 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.
