MAX6316–MAX6322
5-Pin μP Supervisory Circuits with
Watchdog and Manual Reset
P-channel transistor on-resistance quickly charges stray
capacitance on the reset line, allowing RESET to transi-
tion from low to high within the required two electronic-
clock cycles, even with several devices on the reset line.
This process occurs regardless of whether the reset was
ter a logic low (see Electrical Characteristics), and small
enough to register a logic high while supplying all input
current and leakage paths connected to the RESET line.
A 10kΩ pullup is sufficient in most applications.

The MAX6316_/MAX6317H/MAX6319_H/MAX6320P/

an external pullup. To minimize supply current con-

an internal 52kΩ pullup resistor and therefore can be left
unconnected when not in use. MR can be driven with
TTL-logic levels in 5V systems, with CMOS-logic levels in
3V systems, or with open-drain or open-collector output
devices. A normally-open momentary switch from MR to
ground can also be used; it requires no external debounc-
ing circuitry. MR is designed to reject fast, negative-going
transients (typically 100ns pulses). A 0.1μF capacitor from
MR to ground provides additional noise immunity.
Open-Drain RESET Output
The MAX6320P/MAX6321HP/MAX6322HP have an
active-low, open-drain reset output. This output structure
will sink current when RESET is asserted. Connect a pul-
lup resistor from RESET to any supply voltage up to 6V
(Figure 6). Select a resistor value large enough to regis-

Watchdog Input
The MAX6316_/MAX6317H/MAX6318_H/MAX6320P/

μP’s activity. If the μP does not toggle the watchdog input

or by a transition at WDI (which can detect pulses as
short as 50ns). The watchdog timer remains cleared while
reset is asserted. Once reset is released, the timer begins
counting again (Figure 7).

The WDI input is designed for a three-stated output
device with a 10μA maximum leakage current and the
capability of driving a maximum capacitive load of 200pF.
The three-state device must be able to source and sink at
least 200μA when active. Disable the watchdog function
by leaving WDI unconnected or by three-stating the driver
connected to WDI. When the watchdog timer is left open
circuited, the timer is cleared internally at intervals equal
to 7/8 of the watchdog period.
