MAX6821/MAX6825
Low-Voltage SOT23 µP Supervisors with Manual Reset and Watchdog Timer
General Description
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 a minimum timeout period after VCC rises above the threshold. In addition, a watchdog timer monitors against code execution errors. A debounced manual reset is also available.
