The MAX6746–MAX6753 low-power microprocessor (μP) supervisory circuits monitor single/dual system supply voltages from 1.575V to 5V and provide maximum adjustability for reset and watchdog functions. These devices assert a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage or RESET IN falls below its reset threshold or when manual reset is pulled low. The reset output remains asserted for the reset timeout period after VCC and RESET IN rise above the reset threshold. The reset function features immunity to power-supply transients.
The MAX6746–MAX6753 have ±2% factory-trimmed reset threshold voltages in approximately 100mV increments from 1.575V to 5.0V and/or adjustable reset threshold voltages using external resistors.
The reset and watchdog delays are adjustable with external capacitors. The MAX6746–MAX6751 contain a watchdog select input that extends the watchdog timeout period by 128x. The MAX6752/MAX6753 contain a window watchdog timer that looks for activity outside an expected window of operation.
The MAX6746–MAX6753 are available with a push-pull or open-drain active-low RESET output. The MAX6746–MAX6753 are available in an 8-pin SOT23 package and are fully specified over the automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C).
