General Description
The MAX6391/MAX6392 microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits provide sequenced logic reset outputs for multi-
component or dual-voltage systems. Each device can
monitor two supply voltages and time-sequence two reset
outputs to control the order in which system components
are turned on and off. The MAX6391/MAX6392 increase
system reliability and reduce circuit complexity and cost
compared to separate ICs or discrete components.
The MAX6391/MAX6392 monitor V
CC
as the master
reset supply. Both RESET1 and RESET2 are asserted
whenever V
CC
drops below the selected factory-fixed
reset threshold voltage. RESET1 remains asserted as
long as V
CC
is below the threshold and deasserts
140ms (min) after V
CC
exceeds the thresholds.
RESET IN2 is monitored as the secondary reset supply
and is adjustable with an external resistive-divider net-
work. RESET2 is asserted whenever either V
CC
or
RESET IN2 is below the selected thresholds. RESET2
remains asserted 140ms (min) or a capacitor-
adjustable time period after V
CC
and RESET IN2
exceed their thresholds. RESET2 is always deasserted
after RESET1 during system power-up and is always
asserted before RESET1 during power-down.
The MAX6391 includes two internal pullup resistors for
RESET1 and RESET2 (the open-drain outputs can be
externally connected to the desired pullup voltages).
The MAX6392 includes an active-low manual reset
input (MR) that asserts both RESET1 (push-pull) and
RESET2 (open drain).
The MAX6391/MAX6392 are available in small 8-pin
SOT23 packages and are specified over the -40°C to
+85°C extended temperature range.
