Pin Description
Active-Low Reset Output. RESET is triggered and stays low when V
CC
is below the reset threshold or
when MR is low. It remains low 200ms after V
CC
rises above the reset threshold or MR returns high.
RESET has a strong pulldown but a relatively weak pullup, and can be wire-OR connected to logic gates.
Valid for V
CC
1V. RESET swings between V
CC
and GND.
RESET9
Watchdog Output. This CMOS-logic output goes low if WDI remains high or low longer than the watch-
dog-timeout period (t
WD
), and remains low until the next transition of WDI. WDO remains high if WDI is
unconnected. WDO is high during reset. WDO swings between V
CC
and GND. Connect WDO to MR to
generate resets during watchdog faults.
WDO10
Chip-Enable Output. Output to the chip-enable gating circuit. CE OUT is pulled up to the higher of V
CC
or V
BATT
, when the chip-enable gate is disabled.
CE OUT11
Chip-Enable InputCE IN12
Battery-On Output. CMOS-logic output/external bypass switch driver. High when OUT is connected to
BATT and low when OUT is connected to V
CC
. Connect the base of a PNP transistor or gate of a PMOS
transistor to BATT ON for I
OUT
requirements exceeding 250mA. BATT ON swings between the higher of
V
CC
and V
BATT
and GND.
BATT ON13
GroundGND5
Manual-Reset Input. A logic low on MR asserts reset. Reset remains asserted as long as MR remains low
and for 200ms after MR returns high. MR is an active-low input with an internal pullup to V
CC
. It can be
driven using TTL or CMOS logic, or shorted to ground with a switch. Connect to V
CC
, or leave uncon-
nected if not used.
MR6
Low-Line Comparator Output. This CMOS-logic output goes low when V
CC
falls to 52mV above the reset
threshold. Use this output to generate an NMI to initiate an orderly shutdown routine when V
CC
is falling.
LOW LINE swings between V
CC
and GND.
LOW LINE7
Active-High Reset Output. RESET is the inverse of RESET. It is a CMOS output that sources and sinks
current. RESET swings between V
CC
and GND.
RESET8
Watchdog Input. If WDI remains high or low longer than the watchdog-timeout period (1.6s, typ), WDO
goes low. Leave unconnected to disable the watchdog function.
WDI4
Input Supply Voltage, nominally +5V. Bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.V

PIN
Power-Fail Output. This CMOS-logic output goes low when PFI is less than V
PFT
(2.265V). Valid for
V
CC
4V. PFO swings between V
CC
and GND.
PFO2
Power-Fail Input. When PFI is less than V
PFT
(2.265V), PFO goes low. Connect to ground when unused.PFI1
FUNCTIONNAME
Backup-Battery Input. When V
CC
falls below the reset threshold and V
BATT
, OUT switches from V
CC
to
BATT. V
BATT
may exceed V
CC
. The battery can be removed while the MAX807 is powered-up, provided
BATT is bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND. If no battery is used, connect BATT to ground, and
connect V
CC
and OUT together.
BATT14
Battery-OK Signal Output. High in normal operating mode when V
BATT
exceeds V
BOK
(2.265V). Valid for
V
CC
4V.
BATT OK15
Output Supply Voltage to CMOS RAM. When V
CC
exceeds the reset threshold or V
CC
> V
BATT
, OUT is
connected to V
CC
. When V
CC
falls below the reset threshold and V
BATT
, OUT connects to BATT. Bypass
OUT with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.

Detailed Description
The MAX807 µP supervisory circuit provides power-
supply monitoring, backup-battery switchover, and pro-
gram execution watchdog functions in µP systems
(Figure 1). Use of BiCMOS technology results in an
improved 1.5% reset-threshold precision, while keeping
supply currents typically below 70µA. The MAX807 is
intended for battery-powered applications that require
high reset-threshold precision, allowing a wide power-
supply operating range while preventing the system
from operating below its specified voltage range.
RESET and RESET Outputs
The MAX807’s RESET output ensures that the µP pow-
ers up in a known state, and prevents code execution
errors during power-down and brownout conditions. It
accomplishes this by resetting the µP, terminating pro-
gram execution when V
CC
dips below the reset thresh-
old or MR is pulled low. Each time RESET is asserted it
stays low for the 200ms reset timeout period, which is
set by an internal timer to ensure the µP has adequate
time to return to an initial state. Any time V
CC
goes
below the reset threshold before the reset-timeout peri-
od is completed, the internal timer restarts. The watch-
dog timer can also initiate a reset if WDO is connected
to MR (see the Watchdog Input section).

The RESET output is active low and implemented with a
strong pulldown/relatively weak pullup structure. It is
guaranteed to be a logic low for 0 < V
CC
< V
RST
, pro-
vided V
BATT
is greater than 2V. Without a backup bat-
tery, RESET is guaranteed valid for V
CC
1. It typically
sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V saturation voltage in its active state.
The RESET output is the inverse of the RESET output; it
both sources and sinks current and cannot be wire-OR
connected. Figure 2a shows a timing diagram with V
CC
rising and Figure 2b shows V
CC
falling.
Manual Reset Input
Many µP-based products require manual-reset capabil-
ity to allow an operator or test technician to initiate a
reset. The Manual Reset (MR) input permits the genera-
tion of a reset in response to a logic low from a switch,
WDO, or external circuitry. Reset remains asserted
while MR is low, and for 200ms after MR returns high.
MR has an internal 50µA to 200µA pullup current, so it
can be left open if it is not used. MR can be driven with
TTL or CMOS-logic levels, or with open-drain/collector
outputs. Connect a normally open momentary switch
from MR to GND to create a manual-reset function;
external debounce circuitry is not required. If MR is dri-
ven from long cables or if the device is used in a noisy
environment, connect a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to
ground to provide additional noise immunity. As shown
in Figure 3, diode-ORed connections can be used to
allow manual resets from multiple sources. Figure 4
shows the reset timing.
Watchdog Timer
Watchdog Input
The watchdog circuit monitors the µP’s activity. If the
µP does not toggle the watchdog input (WDI) within
1.6s, WDO goes low. The internal 1.6s timer is cleared
and WDO returns high when reset is asserted or when
a transition (low-to-high or high-to-low) occurs at WDI
while RESET is high. As long as reset is asserted, the
timer remains cleared and does not count. As soon as
reset is released, the timer starts counting (Figure 5).
Supply current is typically reduced by 10µA when WDI
is at a valid logic level.
