+5V Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
The MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits simplify power-supply monitoring,
battery control, and chip-enable gating in µP systems
by reducing the number of components required.
These devices are designed for use in +5V-powered
systems. Low supply current (11µA typical) and small
package size make these devices ideal for portable
applications. The MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 are specifically designed to ignore fast transients on VCC. Other
supervisory functions include active-low reset, backupbattery switchover, watchdog input, battery freshness
seal, and chip-enable gating. The Selector Guide below
lists the specific functions available from each device.
These devices offer two pretrimmed reset threshold voltages for ±5% or ±10% power supplies: 4.65V for the L
versions and 4.40V for the M versions. The MAX817/
MAX818/MAX819 are available in space-saving µMAX
packages, as well as 8-pin DIP/SO.

Either VCC or VBATT can go to 0V if the other is greater than 2.0V.
“-” = battery-charging current, “+” = battery-discharging current.
WDI is internally serviced within the watchdog timeout period if WDI is left unconnected.
WDI input is designed to be driven by a three-stated output device. To float WDI, the “high-impedance mode” of the output
device must have a maximum leakage current of 10µA and a maximum output capacitance of 200pF. The output device
must also be able to source and sink at least 200µA when active.
Note 6: The chip-enable resistance is tested with VCC = +4.75V for the MAX818L and VCC = +4.5V for the MAX818M.
V C E IN = V C E OUT = VCC/2.
Note 7: The chip-enable propagation delay is measured from the 50% point at CE IN to the 50% point at CE OUT.

Power-Fail Comparator Input. When VPFI is below VPFT or when VCC is below
VBATT, PFO goes low; otherwise, PFO remains high (see Power-Fail Comparator
section). Connect to ground if unused.
Chip-Enable Input. The input to the chip-enable gating circuit. Connect to
ground if unused.
PFO
Power-Fail Comparator Output. When PFI is less than VPFT or when VCC is
below VBATT, PFO goes low; otherwise PFO remains high. PFO is also used to
enable the battery freshness seal (see Battery Freshness Seal and Power-Fail
Comparator sections).
CE OUT
Chip-Enable Output. CE OUT goes low only if CE IN is low while reset is not
asserted. If CE IN is low when reset is asserted, CE OUT will remain low for
15µs or until CE IN goes high, whichever occurs first. CE OUT is pulled up to
OUT in battery-backup mode. CE OUT is also used to enable the battery
freshness seal (see Battery Freshness Seal section).
WDI
Watchdog Input. If WDI remains either high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout period, the internal watchdog timer runs out and a reset is triggered. If WDI is left unconnected or is connected to a high-impedance
three-state buffer, the watchdog feature is disabled. The internal watchdog
timer clears whenever reset is asserted, WDI is three-stated, or WDI sees a rising or falling edge. The WDI input is designed to be driven by a three-statedoutput device with a maximum high-impedance leakage current of 10µA and a
maximum output capacitance of 200pF. The output device must also be capable of sinking and sourcing 200µA when active.
MR
Manual Reset Input. A logic low on MR asserts reset. Reset remains asserted
for as long as MR is held low and for 200ms after MR returns high. The activelow input has an internal 63kΩ pull-up resistor. It can be driven from a TTL- or
CMOS-logic line or shorted to ground with a switch. Leave open, or connect to
VCC if unused.

RESET
Active-Low Reset Output. Pulses low for 200ms when triggered and remains
low whenever VCC is below the reset threshold or when MR is a logic low. It

+5V Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
General Timing Characteristics
Designed for 5V systems, the MAX817/MAX818/
MAX819 provide a number of microprocessor (µP)
supervisory functions (see the Selector Guide on the
first page). Figure 2 shows the typical timing relationships of the various outputs during power-up and
power-down with typical VCC rise and fall times.
RESET Output
A µP’s reset input starts the µP in a known state. The
MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 µP supervisory circuits
assert a reset to prevent code-execution errors during
power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions.
RESET is guaranteed to be a logic low for 0V < VCC <
VRST if VBATT is greater than 1V. Without a backup battery (V BATT = GND) RESET is guaranteed valid for
VCC ≥ 1V. Once VCC exceeds the reset threshold an
internal timer keeps RESET low for the reset timeout
period, t RP . After this interval RESET returns high
(Figure 2).
If a brownout condition occurs (VCC drops below the
reset threshold), RESET goes low. Each time RESET is
asserted it stays low for at least the reset timeout period. Any time VCC goes below the reset threshold the
internal timer clears. The reset timer starts when VCC
returns above the reset threshold. RESET both sources
and sinks current.
Manual Reset Input (MAX819)
Many µP-based products require manual reset capability, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external
logic circuitry to initiate a reset. On the MAX819, a logic
low on MR asserts reset. Reset remains asserted while
MR is low, and for tRP (200ms) after it returns high.
During the reset timeout period (tRP ), MR’s state is
ignored if the battery freshness seal is enabled. MR has
an internal 63kΩ pull-up resistor, so it can be left open
if not used. This input can be driven with TTL/CMOSlogic 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 the device is used in a noisy environment, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND to
provide additional noise immunity.
Note that MR must be high or open to enable the battery freshness seal. Once the battery freshness seal is
enabled its operation is unaffected by MR.
Battery Freshness Seal
The MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 battery freshness seal
disconnects the backup battery from internal circuitry
and OUT until it is needed. This allows an OEM to
ensure that the backup battery connected to BATT will
be fresh when the final product is put to use. To enable
the freshness seal on the MAX817 and MAX819:
1) Connect a battery to BATT.
2) Ground PFO.
3) Bring V CC above the reset threshold and hold it
there until reset is deasserted following the reset
timeout period.
4) Bring VCC down again (Figure 3).
Use the same procedure for the MAX818, but ground
CE OUT instead of PFO. Once the battery freshness
seal is enabled (disconnecting the backup battery from
internal circuitry and anything connected to OUT), it
remains enabled until VCC is brought above VRST.

+5V Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
On the MAX819, MR must be high or open to enable
the battery freshness seal. Once the battery freshness
seal is enabled its operation is unaffected by MR.
Watchdog Input (MAX817/MAX818)
In the MAX817/MAX818, the watchdog circuit monitors
the µP’s activity. If the µP does not toggle the watchdog
input (WDI) within tWD (1.6sec), reset asserts. The internal 1.6sec timer is cleared by either a reset pulse or by
toggling WDI, which can detect pulses as short as
50ns. The timer remains cleared and does not count for
as long as reset is asserted. As soon as reset is
released, the timer starts counting (Figure 4).
To disable the watchdog function, leave WDI unconnected or three-state the driver connected to WDI. The
watchdog input is internally driven low during the first
7/8 of the watchdog timeout period, then momentarily
pulses high, resetting the watchdog counter. When
WDI is left open-circuited, this internal driver clears the
1.6sec timer every 1.4sec. When WDI is three-stated or
left unconnected, the maximum allowable leakage current is 10µA and the maximum allowable load capacitance is 200pF.

Chip-Enable Gating (MAX818)
Internal gating of the chip-enable (CE) signal prevents
erroneous data from corrupting CMOS RAM in the
event of an undervoltage condition. The MAX818 uses
a series transmission gate from CE IN to CE OUT
(Figure 5). During normal operation (reset not asserted), the CE transmission gate is enabled and passes
all CE transitions. When reset is asserted, this path
becomes disabled, preventing erroneous data from
corrupting the CMOS RAM. The short CE propagation
delay from CE IN to CE OUT enables the MAX818 to be
used with most µPs. If CE IN is low when reset asserts,
CE OUT remains low for typically 15µs to permit the
current write cycle to complete.

The CE transmission gate is disabled and CE IN is high
impedance (disabled mode) while reset is asserted.
During a power-down sequence when VCC passes the
reset threshold, the CE transmission gate disables and
CE IN immediately becomes high impedance if the voltage at CE IN is high. If CE IN is low when reset asserts,
the CE transmission gate will disable 15µs after reset
asserts (Figure 6). This permits the current write cycle
to complete during power-down.

Chip-Enable Output (MAX818)
When the CE transmission gate is enabled, the impedance of CE OUT is equivalent to a 40Ω resistor in series
with the source driving CE IN. In the disabled mode,
the transmission gate is off and an active pull-up connects CE OUT to OUT (Figure 5). This pull-up turns off
when the transmission gate is enabled.

Power-Fail Comparator
(MAX817/MAX819)
The MAX817/MAX819 PFI input is compared to an internal reference. If PFI is less than the power-fail threshold
(VPFT), PFO goes low. The power-fail comparator is
intended for use as an undervoltage detector to signal a
failing power supply (Figure 8). However, the comparator
does not need to be dedicated to this function because it
is completely separate from the rest of the circuitry.
The power-fail comparator turns off and PFO goes low
when VCC falls below VBATT. During the reset timeout
period (tRP), PFO is forced high, regardless of the state
of VPFI (see Battery Freshness Seal section). If the comparator is unused, connect PFI to ground and leave PFO
unconnected. PFO can be connected to MR on the
MAX819 so that a low voltage on PFI will generate a
reset (Figure 9). In this configuration, when the monitored
voltage causes PFI to fall below VPFT, PFO pulls MR low,
causing a reset to be asserted. Reset remains asserted
as long as PFO holds MR low, and for tRP (200ms) after
PFO pulls MR high when the monitored supply is above
the programmed threshold. When PFO is connected to
MR, it is not possible to enable the battery freshness
seal. Enabling the battery freshness seal requires MR to
be high or open. Once the battery freshness seal is
enabled, it is no longer affected by PFO’s connection to
MR.

Any time a reset is generated, the CE transmission gate
remains disabled and CE IN remains high impedance
(regardless of CE IN activity) for the reset timeout period. When the CE transmission gate is enabled, the
impedance of CE IN appears as a 40Ω resistor in series
with the load at CE OUT. The propagation delay
through the CE transmission gate depends on VCC, the
source impedance of the drive connected to CE IN,
and the loading on CE OUT (see Typical Operating
Characteristics). The CE propagation delay is production tested from the 50% point on CE IN to the 50%
point on CE OUT using a 50Ω driver and a 50pF load
capacitance (Figure 7). For minimum propagation
delay, minimize the capacitive load at CE OUT and use
a low-output-impedance driver.

Backup-Battery Switchover
In a brownout or power failure, it may be necessary to
preserve the contents of RAM. With a backup battery
installed at BATT, the MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 automatically switch RAM to backup power when VCC falls.
These devices require two conditions before switching
to battery-backup mode: 1) VCC must be below the
reset threshold, and 2) V CC must be below V BATT .
Table 1 lists the status of the inputs and outputs in battery-backup mode.
As long as VCC exceeds the reset threshold, OUT connects to VCC through a 5Ω PMOS power switch. Once
V CC falls below the reset threshold, V CC or V BATT
(whichever is higher) switches to OUT. When VCC falls
below VRST and VBATT, BATT switches to OUT through
an 80Ω switch.
When VCC exceeds the reset threshold, it is connected to
the substrate, regardless of the voltage applied to BATT
(Figure 10). During this time, the diode (D1) between
BATT and the substrate will conduct current from BATT
to VCC if VBATT is 0.6V greater than VCC. When BATT
connects to OUT, backup mode is activated and the
internal circuitry is powered from the battery (Table 1).
When VCC is just below VBATT, the current draw from
BATT is typically 6µA. When VCC drops to more than 1V
below VBATT, the internal switchover comparator shuts
off and the supply current falls to less than 1µA.
__________Applications Information
The MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 are protected for typical
short-circuit conditions of 10sec or less. Shorting OUT
to ground for longer than 10sec destroys the device.
Decouple VCC, OUT, and BATT to ground by placing
0.1µF capacitors as close to the device as possible.

Using a SuperCap™ as a
Backup Power Source
SuperCaps are capacitors with extremely high capacitance values (on the order of 0.47F) for their size. Since
BATT has the same operating voltage range as VCC, and
the battery switchover threshold voltages are typically
±30mV centered at VBATT , a SuperCap and simple
charging circuit can be used as a backup power source.
Figure 11 shows a SuperCap used as a backup source.
If VCC is above the reset threshold and VBATT is 0.5V
above VCC, current flows to OUT and VCC from BATT
until the voltage at BATT is less than 0.5V above VCC.
For example, if a SuperCap is connected to BATT
through a diode to VCC, and VCC quickly changes from
5.4V to 4.9V, the capacitor discharges through OUT
and VCC until VBATT reaches 5.1V typical. Leakage current through the SuperCap charging diode and the
internal power diode eventually discharges the
SuperCap to VCC. Also, if VCC and VBATT start from
0.1V above the reset threshold and power is lost at
VCC, the SuperCap on BATT discharges through VCC
until VBATT reaches the reset threshold. Battery-backup
mode is then initiated and the current through V CC
goes to zero.
Operation Without a
Backup Power Source
The MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 were designed for battery-backed applications. If a backup battery is not
used, connect V CC to OUT, and connect BATT to
ground.
Replacing the Backup Battery
The backup power source can be removed while VCC
remains valid, without danger of triggering a reset
pulse, if BATT is decoupled with a 0.1µF capacitor to
ground. As long as VCC stays above the reset threshold, battery-backup mode cannot be entered.
Adding Hysteresis to the Power-Fail
Comparator (MAX817/MAX819)
The power-fail comparator has a typical input hysteresis of 4mV. This is sufficient for most applications where
a power-supply line is being monitored through an
external voltage divider (see Monitoring an Additional
Supply).
For additional noise margin, connect a resistor between
PFO and PFI, as shown in Figure 12. Select the ratio of

Watchdog Input Current
The MAX817/MAX818 WDI inputs are internally driven
through a buffer and series resistor from the watchdog
counter (Figure 1). When WDI is left unconnected, the
watchdog timer is serviced within the watchdog timeout
period by a low-high-low pulse from the counter chain.
For minimum watchdog input current (minimum overall
power consumption), leave WDI low for the majority of the
watchdog timeout period, pulsing it low-high-low once
within 7/8 of the watchdog timeout period to reset the
watchdog timer. If instead WDI is externally driven high for
the majority of the timeout period, up to 150µA can flow
into WDI.

It will typically be an order of magnitude greater than R1
or R2. The current through R1 and R2 should be at least
1µA to ensure that the 25nA (max) PFI input leakage
current does not shift the trip point. R3 should be larger
than 200kΩ to prevent it from loading down the PFO pin.

Interfacing to µPs with
Bidirectional Reset Pins
µPs with bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola
68HC11 series, can contend with the MAX817/MAX818/
MAX819 RESET output. If, for example, the RESET output is driven high and the µP wants to pull it low, indeterminate logic levels may result. To correct this,
connect a 4.7kΩ resistor between the RESET output
and the µP reset I/O, as in Figure 14. Buffer the RESET
output to other system components.

Negative-Going VCC Transients
These supervisors are relatively immune to short-duration, negative-going VCC transients (glitches) while
issuing a reset to the µP during power-up, power-down,
and brownout conditions. Therefore, resetting the µP
when VCC experiences only small glitches is usually not
desirable.
The Typical Operating Characteristics show a graph of
Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold
Overdrive for which reset pulses are not generated. The
graph was produced using negative-going VCC pulses,
starting at 3.3V and ending below the reset threshold by
the magnitude indicated (reset threshold overdrive). The
graph shows the maximum pulse width that a negativegoing VCC transient can typically have without triggering
a reset pulse. As the amplitude of the transient increases
(i.e., goes farther below the reset threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width decreases. Typically, a VCC
transient that goes 100mV below the reset threshold and
lasts for 135µs will not trigger a reset pulse.
A 0.1µF bypass capacitor mounted close to the VCC
pin provides additional transient immunity.

+5V Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
To help the watchdog timer monitor software execution
more closely, set and reset the watchdog input at different
points in the program, rather than “pulsing” the watchdog
input high-low-high or low-high-low. This technique avoids
a “stuck” loop, in which the watchdog timer would continue to be reset within the loop, keeping the watchdog from
timing out. Figure 15 shows an example of a flow diagram
where the I/O driving the watchdog input is set high at the
beginning of the program, set low at the beginning of
every subroutine or loop, then set high again when the
program returns to the beginning. If the program should
“hang” in any subroutine, the problem would quickly be
corrected, since the I/O is continually set low and the
watchdog timer is allowed to time out, triggering a reset or
an interrupt. As described in the Watchdog Input Current
section, this scheme results in higher average WDI input
current than does the method of leaving WDI low for the
majority of the timeout period and periodically pulsing it
low-high-low.
