General Description
The MAX705–MAX708/MAX813L microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits reduce the complexity and number of
components required to monitor power-supply and battery
functions in µP systems. These devices significantly improve
system reliability and accuracy compared to separate ICs or
discrete components.
The MAX705/MAX706/MAX813L provide four functions:
1) A reset output during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions.
2) An independent watchdog output that goes low if
the watchdog input has not been toggled within 1.6
seconds.
3) A 1.25V threshold detector for power-fail warning, low-
battery detection, or for monitoring a power supply
other than +5V.
4) An active-low manual-reset input.
The MAX707/MAX708 are the same as the MAX705/
MAX706, except an active-high reset is substituted for
the watchdog timer. The MAX813L is the same as the
MAX705, except RESET is provided instead of RESET.
Two supply-voltage monitor levels are available: The
MAX705/MAX707/MAX813L generate a reset pulse when
the supply voltage drops below 4.65V, while the MAX706/
MAX708 generate a reset pulse below 4.40V. All four parts
are available in 8-pin DIP, SO, and µMAX® packages.

Manual-Reset Input triggers a reset pulse when

internal 250μA pullup current. It can be driven from a
TTL or CMOS logic line, as well as shorted to ground
with a switch.

Power-Fail Voltage-Monitor Input. When PFI is less

Power-Fail Output goes low and sinks current when
PFI is less than 1.25V; otherwise PFO stays high.
Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low for
1.6sec, the internal watchdog timer runs out and
WDO goes low (Figure 1). Floating WDI or connecting
WDI to a high-impedance three-state buffer disables
the watchdog feature. The internal watchdog timer
clears whenever reset is asserted, WDI is three
stated, or WDI sees a rising or falling edge.

Active-Low Reset Output pulses low for 200ms when
triggered, and stays low whenever VCC is below the
reset threshold (4.65V in the MAX705 and 4.40V in
the MAX706). It remains low for 200ms after VCC
rises above the reset threshold or MR goes from low
to high (Figure 3). A watchdog timeout will not trigger
RESET unless WDO is connected to MR.
Watchdog Output pulls low when the internal
watchdog timer finishes its 1.6sec count and does
not go high again until the watchdog is cleared. WDO
also goes low during low-line conditions. Whenever
VCC is below the reset threshold, WDO stays low;
however, unlike RESET, WDO does not have a
minimum pulse width. As soon as VCC rises above
the reset threshold, WDO goes high with no delay.
RESET
Active-High RESET Output is the inverse of RESET.
Whenever RESET is high, RESET is low, and vice
versa (Figure 2). The MAX813L has a RESET output
only.

Detailed Description
Reset Output
A microprocessor’s (μP’s) reset input starts the μP in a
known state. Whenever the μP is in an unknown state, it
should be held in reset. The MAX705–MAX708/MAX813L
assert reset during power-up and prevent code execution
errors during power-down or brownout conditions.
On power-up, once VCC reaches 1V, RESET is a
guaranteed logic low of 0.4V or less. As VCC rises, RESET
stays low. When VCC rises above the reset threshold, an
internal timer releases RESET after about 200ms. RESET
pulses low whenever VCC dips below the reset threshold,
i.e. brownout condition. If brownout occurs in the middle
of a previously initiated reset pulse, the pulse continues
for at least another 140ms. On power-down, once VCC
falls below the reset threshold, RESET stays low and is
guaranteed to be 0.4V or less until VCC drops below 1V.
The MAX707/MAX708/MAX813L active-high RESET
output is simply the complement of the RESET output,
and is guaranteed to be valid with VCC down to 1.1V.
Some μPs, such as Intel’s 80C51, require an active-high
reset pulse.
Watchdog Timer
The MAX705/MAX706/MAX813L watchdog
circuit
monitors the μP’s activity. If the μP does not toggle the
watchdog input (WDI) within 1.6sec and WDI is not three
stated, WDO goes low. As long as RESET is asserted or
the WDI input is three stated, the watchdog timer stays
cleared and will not count. As soon as reset is released
and WDI is driven high or low, the timer starts counting.
Pulses as short as 50ns can be detected.
Typically, WDO is not connected to the nonmaskable
interrupt input (NMI) of a μP. When VCC drops below
the reset threshold, WDO goes low whether or not
the watchdog timer has timed out yet. Normally this
would trigger an NMI interrupt, but RESET goes low
simultaneously, and thus overrides the NMI interrupt.
If WDI is left unconnected, WDO can be used as a low-
line output. Since floating WDI disables the internal timer,
WDO goes low only when VCC falls below the reset
threshold, thus functioning as a low-line output.
The MAX705/MAX706 have a watchdog timer and a
RESET output. The MAX707/MAX708 have both active-
high and active-low reset outputs. The MAX813L has both
an active-high reset output and a watchdog timer.
Manual Reset
The manual-reset input (MR) allows reset to be triggered
by a pushbutton switch. The switch
is effectively
debounced by the 140ms minimum reset pulse width. MR
is TTL/CMOS-logic compatible, so it can be driven by an
external logic line. MR can be used to force a watchdog
timeout to generate a reset pulse in the MAX705/ MAX706/
MAX813L. Simply connect WDO to MR.

output is the inverse of RESET shown.
To build an early-warning circuit for power failure, connect
the PFI pin to a voltage divider (see Typical Operating
Circuit). Choose the voltage divider ratio so that the
voltage at PFI falls below 1.25V just before the +5V
regulator drops out. Use PFO to interrupt the μP so it can
prepare for an orderly power-down.
Applications Information
Ensuring a Valid RESET Output Down to
VCC = 0V
When VCC falls below 1V, the MAX705–MAX708 RESET
output no longer sinks current—it becomes an open
circuit. High-impedance CMOS logic inputs can drift
to undetermined voltages if left undriven. If a pulldown
resistor is added to the RESET pin, as shown in Figure
5, any stray charge or leakage currents will be drained
to ground, holding RESET low. Resistor value (R1) is not
critical. It should be about 100kΩ, large enough not to load
RESET and small enough to pull RESET to ground.
Monitoring Voltages Other Than the
Unregulated DC Input
Monitor voltages other than the unregulated DC by
connecting a voltage-divider to PFI and adjusting the ratio
appropriately. If required, add hysteresis by connecting a
resistor (with a value approximately 10 times the sum of
the two resistors in the potential divider network) between
PFI and PFO. A capacitor between PFI and GND reduces
the power-fail circuit’s sensitivity to high-frequency noise
on the line being monitored. RESET can be asserted on
other voltages in addition to the +5V VCC line. Connect
PFO to MR to initiate a RESET pulse when PFI drops
below 1.25V. Figure 6 shows the MAX705–MAX708
configured to assert RESET when the +5V supply falls
below the reset threshold, or when the +12V supply falls
below approximately 11V.
Monitoring a Negative Voltage
The power-fail comparator can also monitor a negative
supply rail (Figure 7). When the negative rail is good (a
negative voltage of large magnitude), PFO is low, and
when the negative rail is degraded (a negative voltage of
lesser magnitude), PFO is high. By adding the resistors
and transistor as shown, a high PFO triggers a reset.
As long as PFO remains high, the MAX705–MAX708/
MAX813L keep reset asserted (RESET = low, RESET =
high). Note that this circuit’s accuracy depends on the PFI
threshold tolerance, the VCC line, and the resistors.

Interfacing to μPs with
Bidirectional Reset Pins
μPs with bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola
68HC11 series, can contend with the MAX705–MAX708
RESET output. If, for example, the RESET output is
driven high and the μP wants to pull it low, indeterminate
logic levels may result. To correct this, connect a 4.7kΩ
resistor between the RESET output and the μP reset I/O,
as in Figure 8. Buffer the RESET output to other system
components.
