Low-Voltage SOT23 µP Supervisors with
Manual Reset and Watchdog Timer
General Description
Features
The MAX6821–MAX6825 are low-voltage microprocessor
(µP) supervisory circuits that combine voltage monitor-
ing, watchdog timer, and manual reset input functions in
a 5-pin SOT23 package. Microprocessor supervisory cir-
cuits significantly improve system reliability and accura-
cy compared to separate ICs or discrete components.
These devices assert a reset signal whenever the moni-
tored voltage drops below its preset threshold, keeping it

Supplies
o 140ms (min) Reset Timeout Delay
o 1.6s Watchdog Timeout Period

reset is also available. The MAX6821–MAX6825 monitor
voltages from +1.8V to +5.0V. These outputs are guaran-

Nine preprogrammed reset threshold voltages are
available (see the Threshold Suffix Guide). The
MAX6821, MAX6822, and MAX6823 all have a manual
reset input and a watchdog timer. The MAX6821 has
push-pull RESET, the MAX6822 has open-drain RESET,
and the MAX6823 has push-pull RESET. The MAX6824
has a watchdog timer and both push-pull RESET and
push-pull RESET. The MAX6825 has a manual reset
input and both push-pull RESET and push-pull RESET.
