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 activelow, push-pull reset output. The MAX6413/MAX6416/
MAX6419 have an active-high, push-pull reset output and
the MAX6414/MAX6417/MAX6420 have an active-low,
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.

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 factory-trimmed
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.
known state. The MAX6412–MAX6420 μP supervisory
circuits provide the reset logic to prevent code-execution
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.
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.
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 Output
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 in a

MAX6412–MAX6420
Low-Power, Single/Dual-Voltage μP Reset Circuits
with Capacitor-Adjustable Reset Timeout Delay
Use the following formula to calculate the externally monitored voltage (VMON_TH):
VCC
VMON_TH = VRST x (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
RESET IN
R2
R1 = R2 x (VMON_TH/VRST - 1) (Ω)
GND
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.

The MAX6418/MAX6419/MAX6420 contain both factorytrimmed threshold voltages and an adjustable reset
threshold input, allowing the monitoring of two voltages,
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:
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
(
