General Description
The MAX821/MAX822 microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits monitor power supplies in µP and digital sys-
tems. They provide excellent circuit reliability and low
cost by eliminating external components and adjust-
ments when used with 5V-powered or 3V-powered cir-
cuits. The MAX821/MAX822 also provide a power-on
reset timeout delay that is pin selectable to 1ms (max),
20ms (min), or 100ms (min).
These devices perform a single function: they assert a
reset signal whenever the V
CC
supply voltage falls
below a preset threshold, and they keep reset asserted
for the pin-selected reset timeout delay after V
CC
has
risen above the reset threshold. The only difference
between the two devices is that the MAX821 has an
active-low RESET output (which is guaranteed to be in
the correct state for V
CC
down to 1V), while the
MAX822 has an active-high RESET output. The reset
comparator is designed to ignore fast transients on
V
CC
. Reset thresholds suitable for operation with a vari-
ety of supply voltages are available.
Low supply current makes the MAX821/MAX822 ideal
for use in portable equipment. These devices come in a
4-pin SOT143 package.
