Microprocessor and Nonvolatile
Memory Supervisory Circuits
General Description
The MAX792/MAX820 microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits provide the most functions for power-supply
and watchdog monitoring in systems without battery
backup. Built-in features include the following:
• µP reset: Assertion of RESET and
RESET
outputs during
power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions.
RESET
is guaranteed valid for V
CC
down to 1V.
• Manual-reset input.
• Two-stage power-fail warning: A separate low-line
comparator compares V
CC
to a preset threshold
120mV above the reset threshold; the low-line and
reset thresholds can be programmed externally.
• Watchdog fault output: Assertion of
WDO
if the watchdog
input is not toggled within a preset timeout
period.
• Pulsed watchdog output: Advance warning of
impending
WDO
assertion from watchdog timeout that
causes hardware shutdown.
• Write protection of CMOS RAM, EEPROM, or other
memory devices.
The MAX792 and MAX820 are identical, except the
MAX820 guarantees higher low-line and reset threshold
accuracy (±2%).

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
The minimum operating voltage is 2.75V; however, the MAX792R and MAX820R are guaranteed to operate down to their
preset reset thresholds.
Note 2:
Pulling RESET IN/INT below 60mV selects internal threshold mode and connects the internal voltage divider to the reset
and low-line comparators. External programming mode allows an external resistor divider to set the low-line and reset
thresholds (see Figure 4).
Note 3:
The Chip-Enable Propagation delay is measured from the 50% point at
CE
IN to the 50% point at
CE
OUT.
