+5V, Low-Power µP Supervisory Circuits
with Adjustable Reset/Watchdog
_______________General Description
The MAX6301–MAX6304* low-power microprocessor
(µP) supervisory circuits provide maximum adjustability
for reset and watchdog functions. The reset threshold
can be adjusted to any voltage above 1.22V, using
external resistors. In addition, the reset and watchdog
timeout periods are adjustable using external capaci-
tors. A watchdog select pin extends the watchdog time-
out period to 500x. The reset function features immunity
to power-supply transients.
These four devices differ only in the structure of their reset
outputs (see the
Selector Guide).
The MAX6301–MAX6304
are available in the space-saving 8-pin µMAX
®
package,
as well as 8-pin PDIP and SO packages.

CC
.
Note 2:
WDS = V
CC
, WDI unconnected.
Note 3:
Precision timing currents of 500nA are present at both the SRT and SWT pins. Timing capacitors connected to these nodes
must have low leakage consistent with these currents to prevent timing errors.
Note 4:
The sink/source is supplied through a resistor, and is proportional to V
CC
(Figure 8). At V
CC
= 2V, it is typically ±24µA.

NAME

FUNCTION
Reset Input. High-impedance input to the reset comparator. Connect this pin to the center point of an
external resistor voltage-divider network to set the reset threshold voltage. The reset threshold voltage is
calculated as follows: V
RST
= 1.22 x (R1 + R2)/R2 (see the
Typical Operating Circuit).
Ground
Set Reset-Timeout Input. Connect a capacitor between this input and ground to select the reset timeout
period (t
RP
). Determine the period as follows: t
RP
= 2.67 x C
SRT
, with C
SRT
in pF and t
RP
in µs (see the
Typical Operating Circuit).
Set Watchdog-Timeout Input. Connect a capacitor between this input and ground to select the basic
watchdog timeout period (t
WD
). Determine the period as follows: t
WD
= 2.67 x C
SWT
, with C
SWT
in pF and
t
WD
in µs. The watchdog function can be disabled by connecting this pin to ground.
Watchdog-Select Input. This input selects the watchdog mode. Connect to ground to select normal mode
and the basic watchdog timeout period. Connect to V
CC
to select extended mode, multiplying the basic
timeout period by a factor of 500. A change in the state of this pin resets the watchdog timer to zero.
Watchdog Input. A rising or falling transition must occur on this input within the selected watchdog timeout
period, or a reset pulse will occur. The capacitor value selected for SWT and the state of WDS determine
the watchdog timeout period. The watchdog timer clears and restarts when a transition occurs on WDI or
WDS. The watchdog timer is cleared when reset is asserted and restarted after reset deasserts. In the
extended watchdog mode (WDS = V
CC
), the watchdog function can be disabled by driving WDI with a
three-stated driver or by leaving WDI unconnected.
