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.

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 capacitor-adjustable 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.

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:
Maxim Integrated │ 4
MAX6340/MAX6421–
MAX6426
Low-Power, SC70/SOT µP Reset Circuits
with Capacitor-Adjustable Reset Timeout Delay
CSRT = (tRP - 275µs) / (2.73 5 106)
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
(
