MAX811/MAX812
4-Pin μP Voltage Monitors
with Manual Reset Input
General Description
The MAX811/MAX812 are low-power microprocessor
(μP) supervisory circuits used to monitor power supplies
in μP and digital systems. They provide excellent circuit
reliability and low cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used with 5Vpowered or
3V-powered circuits. The MAX811/MAX812 also provide
a debounced manual reset input.
These devices perform a single function: They assert a
reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage falls below
a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for at least 140ms
after VCC has risen above the reset threshold. The only
difference between the two devices is that the MAX811
has an active-low RESET output (which is guaranteed
to be in the correct state for VCC down to 1V), while the
MAX812 has an active-high RESET output. The reset
comparator is designed to ignore fast transients on VCC.
Reset thresholds are available for operation with a variety
of supply voltages.
Low supply current makes the MAX811/MAX812 ideal for
use in portable equipment. The devices come in a 4-pin
SOT143 package.

Detailed Description
Reset Output
A microprocessor’s (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, powerdown, or brownout conditions.
RESET is guaranteed to be a logic low for VCC > 1V.
Once VCC exceeds the reset threshold, an internal timer
keeps RESET low for the reset timeout period; after this
interval, RESET goes high.
If a brownout condition occurs (VCC dips below the reset
threshold), RESET goes low. Any time VCC goes below
the reset threshold, the internal timer resets to zero, and
RESET goes low. The internal timer starts after VCC
returns above the reset threshold, and RESET remains
low for the reset timeout period.
The manual reset input (MR) can also initiate a reset. See
the Manual Reset Input section.
The MAX812 has an active-high RESET output that is the
inverse of the MAX811’s RESET output.
www.maximintegrated.com
Manual Reset Input
Many μP-based products require manual reset capability, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external
logic circuitry to initiate a reset. A logic low on MR asserts
reset. Reset remains asserted while MR is low, and for
the Reset Active Timeout Period (tRP) after MR returns
high. This input has an internal 20kΩ pull-up resistor, so
it can be left open if it is not used. MR can be driven with
TTL or CMOS-logic levels, or with open-drain/collector
outputs. Connect a normally open momentary switch from
MR to GND to create a manual-reset function; external
debounce circuitry is not required. If MR is driven from
long cables or if the device is used in a noisy environment,
connecting a 0.1μF capacitor from MR to ground provides
additional noise immunity.
Reset Threshold Accuracy
The MAX811/MAX812 are ideal for systems using a 5V
±5% or 3V ±5% power supply with ICs specified for 5V
±10% or 3V ±10%, respectively. They are designed to
meet worst-case specifications over temperature. The
reset is guaranteed to assert after the power supply
falls out of regulation, but before power drops below the
minimum specified operating voltage range for the system
ICs. The thresholds are pre-trimmed and exhibit tight distribution, reducing the range over which an undesirable
reset may occur.

Applications Information
Ensuring a Valid RESET Output
Down to VCC = 0V
Negative-Going VCC Transients
In addition to issuing a reset to the μP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, the MAX811/
MAX812 are relatively immune to short duration negativegoing VCC transients (glitches).
Figure 1 shows typical transient durations vs. reset comparator overdrive, for which the MAX811/MAX812 do
not generate a reset pulse. This graph was generated
using a negative-going pulse applied to VCC, starting
above the actual reset threshold and ending below it by
the magnitude indicated (reset comparator overdrive).
The graph indicates the typical maximum pulse width a
negative-going VCC transient may have without causing
a reset pulse to be issued. As the magnitude of the transient increases (goes farther below the reset threshold),
the maximum allowable pulse width decreases. Typically,
a VCC transient that goes 125mV below the reset threshold and lasts 40μs or less (MAX81_L/M) or 20μs or less
(MAX81_T/S/R) will not cause a reset pulse to be issued.
A 0.1μF capacitor mounted as close as possible to VCC
provides additional transient immunity.
www.maximintegrated.com
When VCC falls below 1V, the MAX811 RESET output
no longer sinks current—it becomes an open circuit.
Therefore, high-impedance CMOS-logic inputs connected
to the RESET output can drift to undetermined voltages.
This presents no problem in most applications, since most
μP and other circuitry is inoperative with VCC below 1V.
However, in applications where the RESET output must
be valid down to 0V, adding a pulldown resistor to the
RESET pin will cause any stray leakage currents to flow
to ground, holding RESET low (Figure 2). R1’s value is
not critical; 100kΩ is large enough not to load RESET and
small enough to pull RESET to ground.
A 100kΩ pull-up resistor to VCC is also recommended
for the MAX812 if RESET is required to remain valid for
VCC < 1V.

Interfacing to μPs with
Bidirectional Reset Pins
μPs with bidirectional reset pins (such as the Motorola
68HC11 series) can contend with the MAX811/MAX812
reset outputs. If, for example, the MAX811 RESET output
is asserted high and the μP wants to pull it low, indeterminate logic levels may result. To correct such cases,
connect a 4.7kΩ resistor between the MAX811 RESET (or
MAX812 RESET) output and the μP reset I/O (Figure 3).
Buffer the reset output to other system components.
