Datasheet

Connecting an ordinary signal diode in series with R3,
as shown in Figure 4b, causes the lower trip point (V
L
)
to coincide with the trip point without hysteresis (V
TRIP
),
so the entire hysteresis window occurs above V
TRIP
.
This method provides additional noise margin without
compromising the accuracy of the power-fail threshold
when the monitored voltage is falling. It is useful for
accurately detecting when a voltage falls past a
threshold.
The current through R1 and R2 should be at least 1µA to
ensure that the 25nA (max over extended temperature
range) PFI input current does not shift the trip point. R3
should be larger than 10kΩ so it does not load down the
P
F
O
pin. Capacitor C1 adds additional noise rejection.
Monitoring an Additional Power Supply
These µP supervisors can monitor either positive or
negative supplies using a resistor voltage divider to
PFI.
P
F
O
can be used to generate an interrupt to the
µP (Figure 5). Connecting
P
F
O
to
M
R
on the MAX704
and MAX806 causes reset to assert when the
monitored supply goes out of tolerance. Reset remains
asserted as long as
P
F
O
holds
M
R
low, and for 200ms
after
P
F
O
goes high.
Interfacing to µPs
with Bidirectional Reset Pins
µPs with bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola
68HC11 series, can contend with the MAX690_/
MAX704_/MAX802_/MAX806_
R
E
S
E
T
output. If, for
example, the
R
E
S
E
T
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
R
E
S
E
T
output and the µP reset I/O, as in
Figure 6. Buffer the
R
E
S
E
T
output to other system
components.
Negative-Going V
CC
Transients
While issuing resets to the µP during power-up, power-
down, and brownout conditions, these supervisors are
relatively immune to short-duration negative-going V
CC
transients (glitches). It is usually undesirable to reset
the µP when V
CC
experiences only small glitches.
Figure 7 shows maximum transient duration vs. reset-
comparator overdrive, for which reset pulses are not
generated. The graph was produced using negative-
going V
CC
pulses, starting at 3.3V and ending below
the reset threshold by the magnitude indicated (reset
comparator overdrive). The graph shows the maximum
pulse width a negative-going V
CC
transient may
typically have without causing a reset pulse to be
issued. As the amplitude of the transient increases
(i.e., goes farther below the reset threshold), the
maximum allowable pulse width decreases. Typically,
a V
CC
transient that goes 100mV below the reset
threshold and lasts for 40µs or less will not cause a
reset pulse to be issued.
A 100nF bypass capacitor mounted close to the V
CC
pin provides additional transient immunity.
