General Description
The MAX706P/R/S/T, MAX706AP/AR/AS/AT, and
MAX708R/S/T microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits
reduce the complexity and number of components
required to monitor +3V power-supply levels in +3V to
+5V µP systems. These devices significantly improve
system reliability and accuracy compared to separate
ICs or discrete components.
The MAX706P/R/S/T and MAX706AP/AR/AS/AT supervi-
sory circuits provide the following four functions:
1) A reset output during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions.
2) An independent watchdog output that goes low if the
watchdog input has not been toggled within 1.6s.
3) A 1.25V threshold detector for power-fail warning,
low-battery detection, or for monitoring a power
supply other than the main supply.
4) An active-low, manual-reset input.
The only difference between the MAX706R/AR,
MAX706S/AS, and MAX706T/AT is the reset-threshold
voltage levels, which are 2.63V, 2.93V, and 3.08V,
respectively. All have active-low reset output signals.
The MAX706P/AP are identical to the MAX706R/AR,
except the reset output signal is active-high. The watch-
dog timer function for the MAX706AP/AR/AS/AT dis-
ables when the WDI input is left open or connected to a
high-impedance state of a low-leakage tri-state output.
The MAX708R/S/T provide the same functions as the
MAX706R/S/T and MAX706AR/AS/AT except they do
not have a watchdog timer. Instead, they provide both
RESET and RESET outputs. As with the MAX706,
devices with R, S, and T suffixes have reset thresholds
of 2.63V, 2.93V, and 3.08V, respectively.
These devices are available in 8-pin SO, DIP, and
µMAX®packages and are fully specified over the oper-
ating temperature range.

The internal watchdog timer is reset to zero when reset is

function for the MAX706P/R/S/T can not be disabled. The
watchdog timer for the MAX706AP/AR/AS/AT disables when

RESET and
RESET
Outputs
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts in a known
state. When the µP is in an unknown state, it should be
held in reset. The MAX706P/R/S/T and the MAX706AP/
AR/AS/AT assert reset when VCC is low, preventing
code execution errors during power-up, power-down,
or brownout conditions.
On power-up once VCC reaches 1V, RESET is guaran-
teed to be logic-low and RESET is guaranteed to be
logic-high. As VCC rises, RESET and RESET remain
asserted. Once VCC exceeds the reset threshold, the
internal timer causes RESET and RESET to be
deasserted after a time equal to the reset pulse width,
which is typically 200ms (Figure 3).
If a power-fail or brownout condition occurs (i.e., VCC
drops below the reset threshold), RESET and RESET
are asserted. As long as VCC remains below the reset
threshold, the internal timer is continually reset, causing
the RESET and RESET outputs to remain asserted.
Thus, a brownout condition that interrupts a previously
initiated reset pulse causes an additional 200ms delay
from the time the latest interruption occurred. On
power-down once VCC drops below the reset threshold,
RESET and RESET are guaranteed to be asserted for
VCC ≥1V.
The MAX706P/MAX706AP provide a RESET signal, and
the MAX706R/S/T and MAX706AR/AS/AT provide a
RESET signal. The MAX708R/S/T provide both RESET
and RESET.
Watchdog Timer
The MAX706P/R/S/T and the MAX706AP/AR/AS/AT
watchdog circuit monitor the µP’s activity. If the µP
does not toggle the watchdog input (WDI) within 1.6s,
the watchdog output (WDO) goes low (Figure 4). If the
reset signal is asserted, the watchdog timer will be
reset to zero and disabled. As soon as reset is
released, the timer starts counting. WDI can detect puls-
es as narrow as 100ns with a 2.7V supply and 50ns with a
4.5V supply. The watchdog timer for the MAX706P/R/S/T
cannot be disabled. The watchdog timer for the
MAX706AP/AR/AS/AT operates similarly to the
MAX706P/R/S/T. However, the watchdog timer for the
MAX706AP/AR/AS/AT disables when the WDI input is
left open or connected to a tri-state output in its high-
impedance state and with a leakage current of less
than 600nA. The watchdog timer can be disabled any-
time, provided WDO is not asserted.

WDO can be connected to the nonmaskable interrupt
(NMI) input of a µP. When VCC drops below the reset
threshold, WDO immediately goes low, even if the
watchdog timer has not timed out (Figure 3). Normally,
this would trigger an NMI, but since reset is asserted
simultaneously, the NMI is overridden. The WDO
should not be connected to RESET directly. Instead,
connect WDO to MR to generate a reset pulse when it
times out.
Manual Reset
The manual reset (MR) input allows RESET and RESET
to be activated by a pushbutton switch. The switch is
effectively debounced by the 140ms minimum reset
pulse width. MR can be driven by an external logic line
since it is TTL/CMOS compatible. The minimum MR
input pulse width is 500ns when VCC = +3V and 150ns
when VCC = +5V. Leave MR unconnected or connect
to VCC when not used.
Power-Fail Comparator
The power-fail comparator can be used for various pur-
poses because its output and noninverting input are
not internally connected. The inverting input is internally
connected to a 1.25V reference. The power-fail com-
parator has 10mV of hysteresis, which prevents repeat-
ed triggering of the power-fail output (PFO).

_______________________________________________________________________________________ 9
To build an early-warning power-failure circuit, use the
power-fail comparator input (PFI) to monitor the unregu-
lated DC supply voltage (see the
Typical Operating
Circuits
). Connect the PFI to a resistive-divider network
such that the voltage at PFI falls below 1.25V just
before the regulator drops out. Use PFO to interrupt the
µP so it can prepare for an orderly power-down.
Regulated and unregulated voltages can be monitored
by simply adjusting the PFI resistive-divider network
values to the appropriate ratio. In addition, the reset
signal can be asserted at voltages other that VCC reset
threshold, as shown in Figure 5. Connect PFO to MR to
initiate a reset pulse when the 12V supply drops below
a user-specified threshold (11V in this example) or
when VCC falls below the reset threshold.
Operation with +3V and +5V Supplies
The MAX706P/R/S/T, the MAX706AP/AR/AS/AT, and the
MAX708R/S/T provide voltage monitoring at the reset
threshold (2.63V to 3.08V) when powered from either
+3V or +5V. These devices are ideal in portable-instru-
ment applications where power can be supplied from
either a +3V battery or an AC-DC wall adapter that gen-
erates +5V (a +5V supply allows a µP or a microcon-
troller to run faster than a +3V supply). With a +3V
supply, these ICs consume less power, but output drive
capability is reduced, the MR to RESET delay time
increases, and the MR minimum pulse width increases.
The
Electrical Characteristics
table provides specifica-
tions for operation with both +3V and +5V supplies.
Ensuring a Valid
RESET
Output Down to
VCC = 0V
When VCC falls below 1V, the MAX706R/S/T,
MAX706AR/AS/AT, and MAX708R/S/T RESET output no
longer sinks current; it becomes an open circuit. High-
impedance, CMOS logic inputs can drift to undeter-
mined voltages if left as open circuit. If a pulldown
resistor is added to the RESET pin , as shown in Figure
6, any stray charge or leakage current will flow to
ground, holding RESET low. Resistor value R is not criti-
cal, but it should not load RESET and should be small
enough to pull RESET and the input it is driving to
ground. 100kΩis suggested for R1.
Applications Information
Adding Hysteresis to the Power-Fail
Comparator
Hysteresis adds a noise margin to the power-fail com-
parator and prevents repeated triggering of the PFO
when VIN is near the power-fail comparator trip point.
Figure 7 shows how to add hysteresis to the power-fail
comparator. Select the ratio of R1 and R2 such that PFI

PROCESS: CMOS
sees 1.25V when VIN falls to the desired trip point
(VTRIP). Resistor R3 adds hysteresis. R3 will typically
be an order of magnitude greater than R1 and R2. The
current through R1 and R2 should be at least 1µA to
ensure that the 25nA (max) PFI input current does not
shift the trip point significantly. R3 should be larger than
10kΩto prevent it from loading down the PFO pin.
Capacitor C1 adds noise rejection.
Monitoring a Negative Voltage
The power-fail comparator can be used to monitor a
negative supply voltage using the circuit of Figure 8.
When the negative supply is valid, PFO is low. When
the negative supply voltage drops, PFO goes high. This
circuit’s accuracy is affected by the PFI threshold toler-
ance, the VCC voltage, and resistors R1 and R2.
Bypassing VCC
For noisy systems, bypass VCC with a 0.1µF capacitor
to GND.
