MAX8211/MAX8212
Microprocessor Voltage Monitors
with Programmable Voltage Detection
General Description
The Maxim’s MAX8211 and MAX8212 are CMOS micropower voltage detectors that warn microprocessors (μPs)
of power failures. Each contains a comparator, a 1.15V
bandgap reference, and an open-drain n-channel output
driver. Two external resistors are used in conjunction with
the internal reference to set the trip voltage to the desired
level. A hysteresis output is also included, allowing the user
to apply positive feedback for noise-free output switching.
The MAX8211 provides a 7mA current-limited output sink
whenever the voltage applied to the threshold pin is less
than the 1.15V internal reference. In the MAX8212, a
voltage greater than 1.15V at the threshold pin turns the
output stage on (no current limit).

Ordering Information
The CMOS MAX8211/MAX8212 are plug-in replacements
for the bipolar ICL8211/ICL8212 in applications where the
maximum supply voltage is less than 16.5V. They offer
several performance advantages, including reduced supply current, a more tightly controlled bandgap reference,
and more available current from the hysteresis output.

Note 1: The maximum output current of the MAX8211 is limited by design to 30mA under any operating condition. The output voltage may be sustained at any voltage up to +16.5V as long as the maximum power dissipation of the device is not exceeded.
Note 2: The maximum output current of the MAX8212 is not defined, and systems using the MAX8212 must therefore ensure that
the output current does not exceed 50mA and that the maximum power dissipation of the device is not exceeded.
Detailed Description
As shown in the block diagrams of Figures 1 and 2, the
MAX8211 and MAX8212 each contain a 1.15V reference, a comparator, an open-drain n-channel output
transistor, and an open-drain p-channel hysteresis
output. The MAX8211 output n-channel turns on when
the voltage applied to the THRESH pin is less than the
internal reference (1.15V). The sink current is limited to
7mA (typical), allowing direct drive of an LED without a
series resistor. The MAX8212 output turns on when the
voltage applied to THRESH is greater than the internal
reference. It is not current limited, and will typically sink
35mA.

less than in the bipolar parts. Higher-value resistors
can also be used in the networks that set up the trip
voltage, since the comparator input (THRESH pin) is a
low-leakage MOSFET transistor. This further reduces
system current drain. The tolerance of the internal reference has also been significantly improved, allowing
for more precise voltage detection without the use of
potentiometers.
Applications Information
The available current from the HYST output has been
increased from 21μA to 10mA, making the hysteresis
feature easier to use. The disparity between the HYST
output and the voltage required at THRESH to switch
the OUT pin has also been reduced in the MAX8211
from 8mV to 0.1mV to eliminate output “chatter” or
oscillation.
Most voltage detection circuits operate with supplies
of 15V or less; in these applications, the MAX8211/
MAX8212 will replace ICL8211/ICL8212s with the
performance advantages described above. However,
note that the CMOS parts have an absolute maximum
supply-voltage rating of 18V, and should never be used
in applications where this rating could be exceeded.
Exercise caution when replacing ICL8211/ICL8212s
in closed-loop applications such as programmable
zeners. Although neither the ICL8211/ICL8212 nor the
MAX8211/MAX8212 are internally compensated, the
CMOS parts have higher gain and may not be stable
for the external compensation-capacitor values used in
lower-gain ICL8211/ICL8212 circuits.

Basic Voltage Detectors
Figure 3 shows the basic circuit for both undervoltage detection (MAX8211) and overvoltage detection
(MAX8212). For applications where no hysteresis is
needed, R3 should be omitted. The ratio of R1 to R2
is then chosen such that, for the desired trip voltage
at VIN, 1.15V is applied to the THRESH pin. Since the
comparator inputs are very low-leakage MOSFET transistors, the MAX8211/MAX8212 can use much higher
resistors values in the attenuator network than can the
bipolar ICL8211/ICL8212. See Table 1 for switching
delays.

Voltage Detectors with Hysteresis
To ensure noise-free output switching, hysteresis is
frequently used in voltage detectors. For both the
MAX8211 and MAX8212 the HYST output is on for
threshold voltages greater than 1.15V. R3 (Figure 3)
controls the amount of current (positive feedback)
supplied from the HYST output to the mid-point of the
resistor divider, and hence the magnitude of the hysteresis, or dead-band.

The circuit of Figure 5 will detect when a 5.0V (nominal) supply goes below 4.5V, which is the VMIN normally specified in logic systems. The selected resistor
values ensure that false undervoltage alarms will not
be generated, even with worst-case threshold trip
values and resistor tolerances. R3 provides approximately 75mV of hysteresis.
