Low-Power, SC70/SOT µP Reset Circuits with
Capacitor-Adjustable Reset Timeout Delay
General Description
Features
The MAX6340/MAX6421–MAX6426 low-power micro-
processor supervisor circuits monitor system voltages
from 1.6V to 5V. These devices perform a single function:
o Monitor System Voltages from 1.6V to 5V
o Capacitor-Adjustable Reset Timeout Period
o Low Quiescent Current (1.6µA typ)
o Three RESET Output Options
they assert a reset signal whenever the V
supply volt-
CC
age falls below its reset threshold. The reset output
remains asserted for the reset timeout period after V
CC
rises above the reset threshold. The reset timeout is exter-
nally set by a capacitor to provide more flexibility.
Push-Pull RESET
Push-Pull RESET
Open-Drain RESET
The MAX6421/MAX6424 have an active-low, push-
pull reset output. The MAX6422 has an active-high,
push-pull reset output and the MAX6340/MAX6423/
MAX6425/MAX6426 have an active-low, open-drain
reset output. The MAX6421/MAX6422/MAX6423 are
offered in 4-pin SC70 or SOT143 packages. The
MAX6340/MAX6424/MAX6425/MAX6426 are available
in 5-pin SOT23-5 packages.

Pin Configurations
Note: The MAX6340/MAX6421–MAX6426 are available with fac-
tory-trimmed reset thresholds from 1.575V to 5.0V in approxi-
mately 0.1V increments. Insert the desired nominal reset
threshold suffix (from Table 1) into the blanks. There are 50 stan-
dard versions with a required order increment of 2500 pieces.
Sample stock is generally held on standard versions only (see
Standard Versions Table). Required order increment is 10,000
pieces for nonstandard versions. Contact factory for availability.
All devices are available in tape-and-reel only.
