MAX6340/
MAX6421–MAX6426
Low-Power, SC70/SOT µP Reset Circuits with
Capacitor-Adjustable Reset Timeout Delay
General Description
The MAX6340/MAX6421–MAX6426 low-power microprocessor supervisor circuits monitor system voltages
from 1.6V to 5V. These devices perform a single function:
they assert a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage falls below its reset threshold. The reset output
remains asserted for the reset timeout period after VCC
rises above the reset threshold. The reset timeout is externally set by a capacitor to provide more flexibility.
The MAX6421/MAX6424 have an active-low, pushpull reset output. The MAX6422 has an active-high,
push-pull reset output and the MAX6340/MAX6423/
MAX6425/MAX6426 have an active-low, open-drain
reset output. The MAX6421/MAX6422/MAX6423 are
offered in 4-pin SC70 or SOT143 packages. The
MAX6340/MAX6424/MAX6425/MAX6426 are available
in 5-pin SOT23-5 packages.

and CSRT in farads.

Detailed Description
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 MAX6340/MAX6421–MAX6426 µP
supervisory circuits provide the reset logic to prevent
code-execution errors during power-up, power-down,
and brownout conditions (see Typical Operating
Characteristics).
RESET changes from high to low whenever VCC drops
below the threshold voltage. Once VCC exceeds the
threshold voltage, RESET remains low for the capacitoradjustable reset timeout period.
The MAX6422 active-high RESET output is the inverse
logic of the active-low RESET output. All device outputs
are guaranteed valid for VCC > 1V.
The MAX6340/MAX6423/MAX6425/MAX6426 are opendrain RESET outputs. Connect an external pullup resistor to any supply from 0 to 5.5V. Select a resistor value
large enough to register a logic low when RESET is
asserted and small enough to register a logic high
while supplying all input current and leakage paths
connected to the RESET line. A 10kΩ to 100kΩ pullup
is sufficient in most applications.

Low-Power, SC70/SOT µP Reset Circuits with
Capacitor-Adjustable Reset Timeout Delay
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) / (2.73 106)
where tRP is in seconds and CSRT is in farads.
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 (
