Ultra-Low-Voltage µP Reset Circuits and
Voltage Detectors
General Description
The MAX6841–MAX6845 microprocessor (µP) supervi-
sory circuits monitor ultra-low-voltage power supplies in
µP and digital systems. They provide excellent circuit
reliability at low cost by eliminating external compo-
nents and adjustments when used with +0.9V to +1.5V
systems. Factory-trimmed reset thresholds are avail-
able for the MAX6841/MAX6842. The MAX6843/
MAX6844/MAX6845 provide a RESET IN input, allowing
the user to externally adjust the reset threshold. The
MAX6841–MAX6845 family features a debounced man-
ual reset input (MR). The reset comparator is designed
to ignore fast transients on V
CC
.
The MAX6841–MAX6845 assert a reset signal whenev-
er the V
CC
supply voltage declines below a preset or
adjustable threshold or whenever manual reset (MR) is
asserted. Reset remains asserted for a fixed timeout
delay after V
CC
has risen above the reset threshold and
when manual reset is deasserted. Five timeout periods
are available for each part: 150µs (voltage detector ver-
sion), 1.5ms, 30ms, 210ms, and 1.68s (typ).
The MAX6841/MAX6843 have an active-low push-pull
reset output. The MAX6841/MAX6842/MAX6844 have
an active-high push-pull reset output, and the
MAX6842/MAX6845 have an active-low open-drain
reset output. The active-low open-drain reset output
requires a pullup resistor that can be connected to a
voltage from 0 to V
CC
.
The low supply current (5.7µA) and small package
(SOT23-5) make the MAX6841–MAX6845 ideal for use
in portable equipment.

Note:
Insert desired suffix letter (from the Threshold Suffix Guide
and the Active Timeout Period tables) into the blanks to com-
plete the part number. For example, the MAX6842GUKD1 has a
reset threshold of 1.11V and a typical reset timeout period of
1.5ms. Sample stock is generally available on standard versions
only (see the Standard Versions table). Standard versions
require a minimum order increment of 2.5k units. Nonstandard
versions must be ordered in 10k-unit increments. Contact factory
for availability. All parts are offered in tape-and-reel only.
Devices are available in both leaded and lead-free packaging.
Specify lead-free by replacing “-T” with “+T” when ordering.

Detailed Description
Reset Output
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a
known state. The MAX6841–MAX6845 assert a reset dur-
ing power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions.
When the V
CC
supply voltage falls below a preset thresh-
old (MAX6841/MAX6842) or RESET IN falls below the
adjustable threshold (MAX6843/MAX6844/MAX6845),
reset asserts and stays asserted for a fixed timeout delay
(Table 2) after V
CC
or RESET IN has risen above the
reset threshold. The MAX6841–MAX6845 are available
with five typical timeout options for each part: 150µs
(voltage detector), 1.5ms, 30ms, 210ms, and 1.68s.
The MAX6841/MAX6842 have two reset outputs
(RESET and
RESET);
one is the inverse of the other.
The MAX6841 has one active-high push-pull output and
one active-low push-pull output. The MAX6842 has one
active-high push-pull output and one active-low open-
drain output. The MAX6843 features an active-low
push-pull output. The MAX6844 features an active-
high push-pull output, and the MAX6845 has an active-
low open-drain output stage. Connect a pullup resistor
from the open-drain
RESET
output to any voltage
between 0 and 6V.
tion, connect a normally open momentary switch from
MR
to ground; external debounce circuitry is not
required. If
MR
is driven from long cables or the device
is used in a noisy environment, connect a 0.1µF capac-
itor from
MR
to ground to provide additional noise
immunity.
RESET IN
The MAX6843/MAX6844/MAX6845 feature a RESET IN
input, which allows users to adjust the reset threshold
voltage. The internal reference voltage is 187.4mV with
respect to V
CC
. An external resistive-divider network
can be used to set voltage monitoring thresholds, as
shown in Figure 1. The resistive-divider network must
be referenced to V
CC

Manual Reset Input
Many µP-based systems require a manual reset capa-
bility, allowing the operator, a test technician, or exter-
nal logic circuitry to initiate a reset. Reset remains
asserted while
MR
is low, and for a fixed timeout delay
after
MR
returns high. This input has an internal 20kΩ
pullup resistor, so it can be left open if it is not used.
MR

drain/collector outputs. To create a manual reset func-
