Low-Power Dual-/Triple-Voltage SC70 µP
Supervisory Circuits
General Description
Features
The MAX6736–MAX6745 are low-power dual-/triple-
voltage microprocessor (µP) supervisors. These
devices assert a reset if any monitored supply falls
below its factory-trimmed or adjustable threshold and
maintain reset for a minimum timeout period after all
supplies rise above their thresholds. The integrated
dual/triple supervisory circuits significantly reduce size
and power compared to separate ICs or discrete com-
ponents. The low supply current of 6µA makes these
devices ideal for portable equipment.
♦ Dual-/Triple-Supply Reset Voltage Monitors
♦ Precision Factory-Set Reset Thresholds for
Monitoring from 0.9V to 5.0V
♦ Adjustable Reset Input Down to 0.488V
♦ 150ms and 1200ms (min) Reset Timeout Period
Options
♦ V 1 Power-OK Output for Power-Supply
CC
Sequencing Applications (MAX6741/MAX6744)
♦ Power-Fail Input/Power-Fail Output
The MAX6736/MAX6737 are dual fixed-voltage µP
supervisors with a manual reset input. The MAX6738/
MAX6739 have one fixed and one adjustable reset
threshold and a manual reset input. The MAX6740/
MAX6743 are triple-voltage µP supervisors with two
fixed and one user-adjustable reset threshold inputs.
The MAX6741/MAX6744 are dual-voltage µP supervi-
sors with a power-OK (POK) output ideal for power-
supply sequencing. The MAX6742/MAX6745 monitor
(MAX6742/MAX6745)
♦ 6µA Supply Current
♦ Tiny SC70 Package

minimum reset timeout period. All devices are available in
tape-and-reel only. There is a 2500-piece minimum order
increment for standard versions (see Table 1). Sample stock is
typically held on standard versions only. Nonstandard versions
require a minimum order increment of 10,000 pieces. Contact
factory for availability.
A variety of push-pull or open-drain reset outputs along
with manual reset input and power-fail input/output fea-
tures are available (see the Selector Guide). The
MAX6736–MAX6745 are offered in a space-saving 5-pin
SC70 package and operate over the -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.
Devices are available in both leaded and lead-free packaging.
Specify lead-free by replacing “-T” with “+T” when ordering.
