6-Pin µP Reset Circuit with
Power-Fail Comparator
General Description
The MAX6342–MAX6345 family of microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits monitors power supplies in digital sys-
tems. These devices significantly improve system reliabili-
ty and accuracy compared to separate ICs or discrete
components.
The MAX6342–MAX6345 provide factory-trimmed V
CC
reset threshold voltages from 2.33V to 4.63V and operate
with supply voltages between +1V and +5.5V. A +1.25V
threshold detector allows for a power-fail warning, for
low-battery detection, or for monitoring another power
supply. The MAX6342 contains an
MR
input and an
active-low push-pull reset. The MAX6343 and MAX6344
are identical to the MAX6342 except they provide an
active-low, open-drain reset and an active-high, push-
pull reset, respectively. The MAX6345 provides a second
reset output in place of the
MR
input to give it an active-
high push-pull reset and an active-low push-pull reset.
All of the devices are packaged in a miniature 6-pin
SOT23.

_______________Detailed Description
Reset Output
A µP’s reset input starts the µP in a known state. These
µP supervisory circuits assert reset to prevent code-
execution errors during power-up, power-down, or
brownout conditions.
RESET
and RESET are guaranteed to be asserted at a
valid logic level for V
CC
> +1V (see the
Electrical Char-
acteristics
table). Once RESET asserts, it remains
asserted for at least 100ms (t
RP
) after V
CC
rises above
its threshold value or after
MR
returns high (Figures 1
and 2).
Open-Drain
RESET
Output
The MAX6343 has an active-low, open-drain reset out-
put. This output sinks current when
RESET
is asserted.
Connect a pull-up resistor from
RESET
to any positive
supply voltage up to +5.5V (Figure 3). Select a resistor
value large enough to register a logic low (see the
Elec-
trical Characteristics
table), and small enough to regis-
ter a logic high while supplying all input current and
leakage paths connected to the
RESET
line. A 10kΩ
pull-up is sufficient in most applications.
Manual Reset
The MAX6342/MAX6343/MAX6344s’ manual-reset input
(MR) allows reset to be triggered by a pushbutton
switch. The switch is effectively debounced by the 1µs
min reset pulse width.
MR
is CMOS-logic compatible.
