3-Pin Microprocessor Reset Circuits
General Description
The MAX803/MAX809/MAX810 are microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits used to monitor the power supplies
in µP and digital systems. They provide excellent circuit
reliability and low cost by eliminating external compo-
nents and adjustments when used with +5V, +3.3V,
+3.0V, or +2.5V-powered circuits.
These circuits perform a single function: they assert a
reset signal whenever the V
CC
supply voltage declines
below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for at
least 140ms after V
CC
has risen above the reset thresh-
old. Reset thresholds suitable for operation with a vari-
ety of supply voltages are available.
The MAX803 has an open-drain output stage, while the
MAX809/MAX810 have push-pull outputs. The
MAX803’s open-drain
RESET
output requires a pull-up
resistor that can be connected to a voltage higher than
V
CC
. The MAX803/MAX809 have an active-low
RESET
output, while the MAX810 has an active-high RESET
output. The reset comparator is designed to ignore fast
transients on V
CC
, and the outputs are guaranteed to
be in the correct logic state for V
CC
down to 1V.
Low supply current makes the MAX803/MAX809/
MAX810 ideal for use in portable equipment. The
MAX803 is available in a 3-pin SC70 package, and the
MAX809/MAX810 are available in 3-pin SC70 or SOT23
packages.

Negative-Going V
CC
Transients
In addition to issuing a reset to the µP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, the MAX803/
MAX809/MAX810 are relatively immune to short-duration
negative-going V
CC
transients (glitches).
Figure 1 shows typical transient duration vs. reset com-
parator overdrive, for which the MAX803/MAX809/
MAX810 do
not
generate a reset pulse. The graph was
generated using a negative-going pulse applied to V
CC
,
starting 0.5V above the actual reset threshold and end-
ing below it by the magnitude indicated (reset compara-
tor overdrive). The graph indicates the maximum pulse
width a negative-going V
CC
transient can have without
causing a reset pulse. As the magnitude of the transient
increases (goes farther below the reset threshold), the
maximum allowable pulse width decreases. Typically, for
the MAX8__L and MAX8__M, a V
CC
transient that goes
100mV below the reset threshold and lasts 20µs or less
will not cause a reset pulse. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor
mounted as close as possible to the V
CC
pin provides
additional transient immunity.

Detailed Description
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a
known state. The MAX803/MAX809/MAX810 assert
reset to prevent code-execution errors during power-
up, power-down, or brownout conditions. They assert a
reset signal whenever the V
CC
supply voltage declines
below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for at
least 140ms after V
CC
has risen above the reset thresh-
old. The MAX803 uses an open-drain output, and the
MAX809/MAX810 have a push-pull output stage.
Connect a pull-up resistor on the MAX803’s
RESET
out-
put to any supply between 0 and 6V.
When V
CC
falls below 1V, the MAX809
RESET
output
no longer sinks current—it becomes an open circuit.
Therefore, high-impedance CMOS logic inputs con-
nected to
RESET
can drift to undetermined voltages.
This presents no problem in most applications since
most µP and other circuitry is inoperative with V
CC
below 1V. However, in applications where
RESET
must
be valid down to 0V, adding a pull-down resistor to
RESET
causes any stray leakage currents to flow to
