General Description
The MAX6467/MAX6468 microprocessor (µP) supervi-
sory circuits monitor single power-supply voltages from
+1.8V to +5.0V and assert a reset if the supply voltage
drops below its preset threshold. An edge-triggered, one-
shot manual reset function ensures that the µP enters
the reset mode for a fixed timeout period only, even in
the event of a continuously asserted manual reset. The
MAX6467/MAX6468 significantly improve system reli-
ability compared to traditional manual reset supervisory
circuits.
A variety of factory-trimmed threshold options accommo-
date different supply voltages and tolerances, eliminating
external components. The factory-set thresholds range
from +1.575V to +4.625V to monitor +5.0V, +3.3V, +3.0V,
+2.5V, and +1.8V supplies with various tolerances. Reset
timeout periods of 150ms (min) and 1200ms (min) are
available to accommodate different µP platforms.
A single, active-low RESET output asserts when V
CC
drops below its threshold or if the edge-triggered MR
asserts low. RESET remains low for the reset time-
out period after V
CC
rises above its threshold and for
a fixed, one-shot timeout period after a manual reset
input falling edge. RESET remains valid as long as V
CC
remains above +1V. Open-drain (MAX6467) and push-
pull (MAX6468) output options provide additional flexibility
in the system design.
The MAX6467/MAX6468 are offered in the space-saving
4-pin SOT143 package and the ultra-small 4-pin SC70
package and are specified over the automotive (-40°C to
+125°C) temperature range.
