MAX6821/MAX6825
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 monitoring,
watchdog timer, and manual reset input functions in
a 5-pin SOT23 package. Microprocessor supervisory
circuits significantly improve system reliability and accuracy
compared to separate ICs or discrete components. These
devices assert a reset signal whenever the monitored voltage
drops below its preset threshold, keeping it asserted for
● Monitors +1.8V, +2.5V, +3.0V, +3.3V, +5.0V Supplies
● 140ms (min) Reset Timeout Delay
● 1.6s Watchdog Timeout Period (MAX6821/MAX6822/

threshold. In addition, a watchdog timer monitors against
code execution errors. A debounced manual reset is also
available. The MAX6821–MAX6825 monitor voltages from
+1.8V to +5.0V. These outputs are guaranteed to be in the

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.
