MAX6730–MAX6735
Single/Dual/Triple-Voltage μP Supervisory
Circuits with Independent Watchdog Output
General Description
The MAX6730–MAX6735 single/dual/triple-voltage micro-
processor (μP) supervisors feature a watchdog timer and
manual reset capability. The MAX6730–MAX6735 offer
factory-set reset thresholds for monitoring voltages from
+0.9V to +5V and an adjustable reset input for monitoring
voltages down to +0.63V. The combination of these features
significantly improves system reliability and accuracy when
compared to separate ICs or discrete components.
The active-low reset output asserts and remains asserted
for the reset timeout period after all the monitored voltages
exceed their respective thresholds. Multiple factory-set reset
threshold combinations reduce the number of external
components required. The MAX6730/MAX6731 monitor a
single fixed voltage, the MAX6732/MAX6733 monitor two
fixed voltages, and the MAX6734/MAX6735 monitor two
fixed voltages and one adjustable voltage. All devices are
offered with six minimum reset timeout periods ranging from
1.1ms to 1120ms.
The MAX6730–MAX6735 feature a watchdog timer with
an independent watchdog output. The watchdog timer
prevents system lockup during code execution errors. A
watchdog startup delay of 54s after reset asserts allows
system initialization during power-up. The watchdog operates
in normal mode with a 1.68s delay after initialization. The
MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734 provide an active-low,
open-drain watchdog output. The MAX6731/MAX6733/
MAX6735 provide an active-low, push-pull watchdog
output.
Other features include a manual reset input (MAX6730/
MAX6731/MAX6734/MAX6735) and push-pull reset output
(MAX6731/MAX6733/MAX6735) or open-drain reset
output (MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734). The MAX6730–
MAX6733 are offered in a tiny SOT23-6 package. The
MAX6734/MAX6735 are offered in a space-saving
SOT23-8 package. All devices are fully specified over the
extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
