3-Pin, Low-Power
µP Reset Circuits
General Description
The MAX6800/MAX6801/MAX6802 microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits monitor the power supplies in 2.85V
to 5.0V µP and digital systems. They increase circuit
reliability and reduce cost by eliminating external com-
ponents and adjustments.
These devices perform a single function—they assert a
reset signal whenever the V
CC
supply voltage declines
below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for a preset
timeout period after V
CC
has risen above the reset
threshold. The only difference among the three devices
is their output. The MAX6801 (push/pull) and MAX6802
(open-drain) have an active-low
RESET
output, while the
MAX6800 (push/pull) has an active-high RESET output.
The MAX6800/MAX6801 are guaranteed to be in the cor-
rect state for V
CC
down to 0.7V. The MAX6802 is guaran-
teed to be in the correct state for V
CC
down to 1.0V.
The reset comparator in these ICs is designed to ignore
fast transients on V
CC
. Reset thresholds are factory-
trimmable between 2.63V and 4.80V, in approximately
100mV increments. These devices are available with a
1ms (min), 20ms (min), or 100ms (min) reset pulse
width. Ideal for space-critical applications, the
MAX6800/MAX6801/MAX6802 come packaged in a 3-
pin SOT23. For a lower threshold voltage version, see
the MAX6332/MAX6333/MAX6334.

Applications Information
Interfacing to µPs with Bidirectional
Reset Pins
Since the
RESET
output on the MAX6802 is open-drain,
this device interfaces easily with µPs that have bidirec-
tional reset pins, such as the Motorola 68HC11.
Connecting the µP supervisor’s
RESET
output directly
to the microcontroller’s (µC’s)
RESET
pin with a single
pullup resistor allows either device to assert reset
(Figure 1).
Negative-Going V
CC
Transients
In addition to issuing a reset to the µP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, these devices are
relatively immune to short-duration, negative-going V
CC
transients (glitches). The
Typical Operating Characteristics
show the Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset
Comparator Overdrive graph. The graph shows the maxi-
mum pulse width that a negative-going V
CC
transient may
typically have without issuing a reset signal. As the ampli-
tude of the transient increases, the maximum allowable
pulse width decreases.

µP Reset Circuits
Ensuring a Valid Reset Output
Down to V
CC
= 0
When V
CC
falls below 1V and approaches the minimum
operating voltage of 0.7V, push/pull-structured reset
sinking (or sourcing) capabilities decrease drastically.
High-impedance CMOS-logic inputs connected to the
RESET
pin can drift to indeterminate voltages. This
does not present a problem in most cases, since most
µPs and circuitry do not operate when V
CC
drops
below 1V. For the MAX6801 application, where
RESET
must be valid down to 0, adding a pulldown resistor
between
RESET
and GND removes stray leakage cur-
rents, holding
RESET
low (Figure 2a). The pulldown
resistor value is not critical; 100kΩ is large enough not
to load
RESET
and small enough to pull it low. For the
MAX6800 application, where RESET must be valid to
V
CC
= 0, a 100kΩ pullup resistor between RESET and
V
CC
will hold RESET high when V
CC
falls below 0.7V
(Figure 2b).
Since the MAX6802 has an open-drain, active-low out-
put, it typically uses a pullup resistor. With this device,
RESET
will most likely not maintain an active condition,
but will drift to a non-active level due to the pullup
resistor and the reduced sinking capability of the open-
drain device. Therefore, this device is not recommend-
ed for applications where the
RESET
pin is required to
be valid down to V
CC
= 0.
