µP Reset Circuits with Capacitor-Adjustable
Reset/Watchdog Timeout Delay
General Description
Features
The MAX6746–MAX6753 low-power microprocessor
(µP) supervisory circuits monitor single/dual system
supply voltages from 1.575V to 5V and provide maxi-
mum adjustability for reset and watchdog functions.
ꢀ Factory-Set Reset Threshold Options from 1.575V
to 5V in ~100mV Increments
ꢀ Adjustable Reset Threshold Options
ꢀ Single/Dual Voltage Monitoring
These devices assert a reset signal whenever the V
CC
supply voltage or RESET IN falls below its reset thresh-
old or when manual reset is pulled low. The reset output
ꢀ Capacitor-Adjustable Reset Timeout
ꢀ Capacitor-Adjustable Watchdog Timeout
ꢀ Min/Max (Windowed) Watchdog Option
ꢀ Manual Reset Input Option
remains asserted for the reset timeout period after V
CC
and RESET IN rise above the reset threshold. The reset
function features immunity to power-supply transients.
The MAX6746–MAX6753 have ±±2 factory-trimmed
reset threshold voltages in approximately 100mV incre-
ments from 1.575V to 5.0V and/or adjustable reset
threshold voltages using external resistors.
ꢀ Guaranteed RESET Valid for V
ꢀ 3.7µA Supply Current
≥ 1V

The reset and watchdog delays are adjustable with
external capacitors. The MAX6746–MAX6751 contain a
watchdog select input that extends the watchdog time-
out period by 1±8x. The MAX675±/MAX6753 contain a
window watchdog timer that looks for activity outside an
expected window of operation.
ꢀ Push-Pull or Open-Drain RESET Output Options
ꢀ Power-Supply Transient Immunity
ꢀ Small 8-Pin SOT23 Packages
Ordering Information
The MAX6746–MAX6753 are available with a push-pull
or open-drain active-low RESET output. The MAX6746–
MAX6753 are available in an 8-pin SOT±3 package and
are fully specified over the automotive temperature
range (-40°C to +1±5°C).

Note: “_ _” represents the two number suffix needed when
ordering the reset threshold voltage value for the
Battery-Powered
Computers/Controllers
MAX6746/MAX6747 and MAX6750–MAX6753. The reset
threshold voltages are available in approximately 100mV incre-
ments. Table 2 contains the suffix and reset factory-trimmed
voltages. All devices are available in tape-and-reel only. There
is a 2500-piece minimum order increment for standard ver-
sions (see Table 3). Sample stock is typically held on standard
versions only. Nonstandard versions require a minimum order
increment of 10,000 pieces. Contact factory for availability.
