MAX6412–MAX6420
Low-Power, Single/Dual-Voltage µP Reset Circuits
with Capacitor-Adjustable Reset Timeout Delay
General Description
The MAX6412–MAX6420 low-power microprocessor
supervisor circuits monitor system voltages from 1.6V to
5V. These devices are designed to assert a reset signal
whenever the VCC supply voltage or RESET IN falls below
its reset threshold or the manual reset input is asserted.
The reset output remains asserted for the reset timeout
period after VCC and RESET IN rise above the reset
threshold and the manual reset input is deasserted. The
reset timeout is externally set by a capacitor to provide
more flexibility.
The MAX6412/MAX6413/MAX6414 feature fixed thresholds
from 1.575V to 5V in approximately 100mV increments and
a manual reset input. The MAX6415/MAX6416/MAX6417
are offered with an adjustable reset input that can monitor
voltages down to 1.26V and the MAX6418/MAX6419/
MAX6420 are offered with one fixed input and one
adjustable input to monitor dual-voltage systems.
The MAX6412/MAX6415/MAX6418 have an active-low,
push-pull reset output. The MAX6413/MAX6416/
MAX6419 have an active-high, push-pull reset output
and the MAX6414/MAX6417/MAX6420 have an activelow, open-drain reset output. All of these devices are
offered in a SOT23-5 package and are fully specified
from -40°C to +125°C.

Supply Voltage and Input for Fixed-Threshold VCC Monitor
Detailed Description
The MAX6412–MAX6420 low-power microprocessor
(µP) supervisory circuits provide maximum adjustability
for supply-voltage monitoring and reset functionality. In
addition, the MAX6412–MAX6420 reset timeout period
is adjustable using an external capacitor.
The MAX6412/MAX6413/MAX6414 have factorytrimmed reset threshold voltages in approximately
100mV increments from 1.575V to 5.0V with a manual
reset input. The MAX6415/MAX6416/MAX6417 contain
a reset threshold that can be adjusted to any voltage
above 1.26V using external resistors. The MAX6418/
MAX6419/MAX6420 offer both a factory-trimmed reset
threshold and an adjustable reset threshold input for
dual-voltage monitoring.
A reset signal is asserted when VCC and/or RESET IN
falls below the preset values or when MR is asserted.
The reset remains asserted for an externally programmed interval after VCC and/or RESET IN has risen
above the reset threshold or MR is deasserted.
Reset Output
in a known state. The MAX6412–MAX6420 µP supervisory circuits provide the reset logic to prevent codeexecution errors during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions (see Typical Operating Circuit).
For the MAX6413, MAX6416, and MAX6419, RESET
changes from low to high whenever VCC or RESET IN
drops below the reset threshold voltages. Once RESET
IN and VCC exceed their respective reset threshold voltage(s), RESET remains high for the reset timeout period,
then goes low.
On power-up, once VCC reaches 1V, RESET is guaranteed to be a logic high. For applications requiring valid
reset logic when VCC is less than 1V, see the section
Ensuring a Valid RESET/RESET Output Down to VCC = 0V.
The active-low RESET output of the remaining supervisors is the inverse of the MAX6413, MAX6416, and
MAX6419 active-high RESET output and is guaranteed
valid for VCC ≥ 1V.
Reset Threshold
The MAX6415–MAX6420 monitor the voltage on RESET
IN with an external resistor voltage-divider (Figure 1).
The reset output is typically connected to the reset
input of a µP. A µP’s reset input starts or restarts the µP

Low-Power, Single/Dual-Voltage µP Reset Circuits

Use the following formula to calculate the externally
monitored voltage (VMON_TH):
VCC
VMON_TH = VRST (R1 + R2)/R2
where VMON_TH is the desired reset threshold voltage
and VRST is the reset input threshold (1.26V). 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 (1MΩ, for example)
and calculate R1 based on the desired monitored voltage, using the following formula:
R1 = R2 x (VMON_TH/VRST - 1) (Ω)

Manual Reset Input
(MAX6412/MAX6413/MAX6414)
Many µP-based products require manual reset capability, allowing the operator, a 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 timeout period after MR returns high.
The MR has an internal 20kΩ pullup resistor so it can
be left open if not used. Connect a normally open
momentary switch from MR to ground to create a manual reset function (external debounce circuitry is not
required for long reset timeout periods).
A manual reset option can easily be implemented with the
MAX6415–MAX6420 by connecting a normally open
momentary switch in parallel with R2 (Figure 2). When the
switch is closed, the voltage on RESET IN goes to zero,
initiating a reset. Similar to the MAX6412/MAX6413/
MAX6414 manual reset, reset remains asserted while the
switch is closed and for the reset timeout period after the
switch is opened.

VCC and VMON_TH (see Figure 4). Reset is asserted
when either of the voltages falls below its respective
threshold voltage.
Application Information
Selecting a Reset 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 - 275µs) / (2.71 106)
where tRP is in seconds and CSRT is in Farads
Maxim Integrated
The reset delay time is set by a current/capacitor-controlled ramp compared to an internal 0.65V reference.
An internal 240nA ramp current source charges the
external capacitor. The charge to the capacitor is
cleared when a reset condition is detected. Once the
reset condition is removed, the voltage on the capacitor
ramps according to the formula: dV/dt = I/C. The CSRT
capacitor must ramp to 0.65V to deassert the reset.
CSRT must be a low-leakage (
