MAX6746–MAX6753
μP Reset Circuits with Capacitor-Adjustable
Reset/Watchdog Timeout Delay
General Description
Benefits and Features
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.
●● 3.7μA Supply Current Reduces System Power
Consumption
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 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).

Detailed Description
The MAX6746–MAX6753 assert a reset signal whenever
the VCC supply voltage or RESET IN falls below its reset
threshold. The reset output remains asserted for the reset
timeout period after VCC and RESET IN rise above its
respective reset threshold. A watchdog timer triggers a
reset pulse whenever a watchdog fault occurs.
The reset and watchdog delays are adjustable with
external capacitors. The MAX6746–MAX6751 contain a
watchdog select input that extends the watchdog timeout
period to 128x.
The MAX6752 and MAX6753 have a sophisticated watchdog
timer that detects when the processor is running outside
an expected window of operation. The watchdog signals a
fault when the input pulses arrive too early (faster that the
selected tWD1 timeout period) or too late (slower than the
selected tWD2 timeout period) (see Figure 1).
RESET is guaranteed to be in the correct logic
state for VCC greater than 1V. For applications
requiring valid reset logic when VCC is less than 1V,
see the Ensuring a Valid RESET Down to VCC = 0V
(Push-Pull RESET) section.
RESET IN Threshold
The MAX6748–MAX6751 monitor the voltage on RESET
IN using an adjustable reset threshold (VRESET IN) set
with an external resistor voltage-divider (Figure 2). Use
the following formula to calculate the externally monitored
voltage (VMON_TH):
VMON_TH = VRESET IN x (R1 + R2)/R2
VMON_TH
R1
Reset Output
The reset output is typically connected to the reset input
of a μP. A μP’s reset input starts or restarts the μP in a
known state. The MAX6746–MAX6753 μP supervisory
circuits provide the reset logic to prevent code-execution
errors during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions
(see the Typical Operating Circuit). RESET changes from
high to low whenever the monitored voltage, RESET
IN and/or VCC drop below the reset threshold voltages.
Once VRESET IN and/or VCC exceeds its respective reset
threshold voltage(s), RESET remains low for the reset
timeout period, then goes high.

Dual-Voltage Monitoring (MAX6750/MAX6751)
The MAX6750 and MAX6751 contain both factory-trimmed
threshold voltages and an adjustable reset threshold input,
allowing the monitoring of two voltages, VCC and VMON_
TH (see Figure 2). RESET is asserted when either of the
voltages fall below its respective threshold voltages.
Manual Reset (MAX6746/MAX6747)
Figure 3. Adding an External Manual-Reset Function to the
MAX6748–MAX6751
where VMON_TH is the desired reset threshold voltage
and VTH is the reset input threshold (1.235V). Resistors
R1 and R2 can have very high values to minimize
current consumption due to low leakage currents. Set R2
to some conveniently high value (500kΩ, for example)
and calculate R1 based on the desired reset threshold
voltage, using the following formula:
R1 = R2 x (VMON_TH/VRESET IN - 1) (Ω)
The MAX6748 and MAX6749 do not monitor VCC
supply voltage; therefore, VCC must be greater than
1.5V to guarantee RESET IN threshold accuracy and
Many μP-based products require manual-reset capability
to allow an operator or external logic circuitry to initiate a
reset. The manual-reset input (MR) can connect directly
to a switch without an external pullup resistor or debouncing
network. MR is internally pulled up to VCC and, therefore,
can be left unconnected if unused.
MR is designed to reject fast, falling transients (typically
100ns pulses) and must be held low for a minimum of
1μs to assert the reset output. A 0.1μF capacitor from MR
to ground provides additional noise immunity. After MR
transitions from low to high, reset remains asserted for the
duration of the reset timeout period.
A manual-reset option can easily be implemented with
the MAX6748–MAX6751 by connecting a normally open
momentary switch in parallel with R2 (Figure 3). When
the switch is closed, the voltage on RESET IN goes to
zero, initiating a reset. Similar to the MAX6746/MAX6747
manual reset, reset remains asserted while the voltage at
RESET IN is zero and for the reset timeout period after
the switch is opened.

Watchdog Timer
MAX6746–MAX6751
The watchdog’s circuit monitors the μP’s activity. It the μP
does not toggle the watchdog input (WDI) within tWD (userselected), RESET asserts for the reset timeout period. The
internal watchdog timer is cleared by any event that asserts
RESET, by a falling transition at WDI (which can detect
pulses as short as 300ns), or by a transition at WDS. The
watchdog timer remains cleared while reset is asserted; as
soon as reset is released, the timer starts counting.
The MAX6746–MAX6751 feature two modes of watchdog operation: normal mode and extended mode. In
normal mode (Figure 4a), the watchdog timeout period
is determined by the value of the capacitor connected
between SWT and ground. In extended mode (Figure
4b), the watchdog timeout period is multiplied by 128. For
example, in extended mode, a 0.1μF capacitor gives a
watchdog timeout period of 65s (see the Extended-Mode
Watchdog Timeout Period vs. CSWT graph in the Typical
Operating Circuit). To disable the watchdog timer function,
connect SWT to ground.
MAX6752/MAX6753
The MAX6752 and MAX6753 have a windowed watchdog
timer that asserts RESET for the adjusted reset timeout
period when the watchdog recognizes a fast watchdog fault
(tWDI < tWD1), or a slow watchdog fault (period > tWD2).
The reset timeout period is adjusted independently of the
watchdog timeout period.
The slow watchdog period (tWD2) is calculated as follows:
tWD2 = 0.65 x 109 x CSWT
with tWD2 in seconds and CSWT in Farads.
The fast watchdog period (tWD1) is selectable as a ratio
from the slow watchdog fault period (tWD2). Select the
fast watchdog period by pin strapping SET0 and SET1,
where high is VCC and low is GND. Table 1 illustrates

the SET0 and SET1 configuration for the 8, 16, and 64
window ratio ( tWD2/tWD1).
For example, if CSWT is 1500pF, and SET0 and SET1 are
low, then tWD2 is 975ms (typ) and tWD1 is 122ms (typ).
RESET asserts if the watchdog input has two falling edges
too close to each other (faster than tWD1) (Figure 5a) or
falling edges that are too far apart (slower than tWD2)
(Figure 5b). Normal watchdog operation is displayed in
Figure 5c. The internal watchdog timer is cleared when
a WDI falling edge is detected within the valid watchdog
window or when RESET is deasserted. All WDI inputs are
ignored while RESET is asserted.
The watchdog timer begins to count after RESET is
deasserted. The watchdog timer clears and begins to
count after a valid WDI falling logic input. WDI falling
transitions within periods shorter than tWD1 or longer than
tWD2 force RESET to assert low for the reset timeout
period. WDI falling transitions within the tWD1 and tWD2
window do not assert RESET. WDI transitions between
tWD1(min) and tWD1(max) or tWD2(min) and tWD2(max)
are not guaranteed to assert or deassert RESET. To
guarantee that the window watchdog does not assert
RESET, strobe WDI between tWD1(max) and tWD2(min).
The watchdog timer is cleared when RESET is asserted
or after a falling transition on WDI, or after a state
change on SET0 or SET1. Disable the watchdog timer by
connecting SET0 high and SET1 low.

Applications Information
Selecting Reset/Watchdog Timeout Capacitor
The reset timeout period is adjustable to accommodate a
variety of μP applications. Adjust the reset timeout period
(tRP) by connecting a capacitor (CSRT) between SRT and
ground. Calculate the reset timeout capacitor as follows:
CSRT = tRP/(4.94 x 106)
with tRP in seconds and CSRT in Farads.
The watchdog timeout period is adjustable to
accommodate a variety of μP applications. With this
feature, the watchdog timeout can be optimized for software execution. The programmer can determine how
often the watchdog timer should be serviced. Adjust
the watchdog timeout period (tWD) by connecting a
specific value capacitor (CSWT) between SWT and GND.
For normal mode operation, calculate the watchdog
timeout capacitor as follows:
CSWT = tWD/(4.94 x 106)
www.maximintegrated.com
Figure 6. Interfacing to Other Voltage Levels
with tWD in seconds and CSWT in Farads.
For the MAX6752 and MAX6753 windowed watchdog
function, calculate the slow watchdog period, tWD2 as
follows:
tWD2 = 0.65 x 109 x CSWT
CSRT and CSWT must be a low-leakage (< 10nA) type
capacitor. Ceramic capacitors are recommended.
Transient Immunity
In addition to issuing a reset to the μP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, these supervisors
are relatively immune to short-duration supply transients
(glitches). The Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset
Threshold Overdrive graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics shows this relationship.
The area below the curves of the graph is the region in
which these devices typically do not generate a reset
pulse. This graph was generated using a falling pulse
applied to VCC, starting above the actual reset threshold
(VTH) and ending below it by the magnitude indicated
(reset threshold overdrive). As the magnitude of the transient
increases (farther below the reset threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width decreases. Typically, a VCC
transient that goes 100mV below the reset threshold and
lasts 50μs or less does not cause a reset pulse to be
issued. For applications where the power supply to VCC
has high transient rates, dV/dt > 5V/50µS, an RC filter
on VCC is required. See Figure 8. Application Circuit for
High-Input Voltage Transient Applications.

Interfacing to Other Voltages for
Logic Compatibility
Ensuring a Valid RESET Down to VCC = 0V
(Push-Pull RESET)
Generally, the pullup resistor connected to RESET
connects to the supply voltage that is being monitored at
the IC’s VCC pin. However, some systems can use the
open-drain output to level-shift from the monitored supply
to reset circuitry powered by some other supply. Keep
in mind that as the supervisor’s VCC decreases towards
1V, so does the IC’s ability to sink current at RESET.
Also, with any pullup resistor, RESET is pulled high as
VCC decays toward zero. The voltage where this occurs
depends on the pullup resistor value and the voltage to
which it is connected.
In those applications where RESET must be valid down to
0V, add a pulldown resistor between RESET and GND for
the MAX6746/MAX6748/MAX6750/MAX6752 push/pull
outputs. The resistor sinks any stray leakage currents,
holding RESET low (Figure 7). The value of the pulldown
resistor is not critical; 100kΩ is large enough not to load
RESET and small enough to pull RESET to ground. The
external pulldown cannot be used with the open-drain
reset outputs.
The open-drain RESET output can be used to interface
to a μP with other logic levels. As shown in Figure 6, the
open-drain output can be connected to voltages from 0
to 6V.
When VCC falls below 1V, RESET current sinking capabilities
decline drastically. The high-impedance CMOS logic
inputs connected to RESET can drift to undetermined
voltages. This presents no problems in most applications,
since most μPs and other circuitry do not operate with
VCC below 1V.
