MAX791
Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit

General Description
The MAX791 microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit
reduces the complexity and number of components need-
ed to monitor power-supply and battery-control functions
in µP systems. The 50µA supply current makes the
MAX791 ideal for use in portable equipment, while the 6ns
chip-enable propagation delay and 250mA output capa-
bility (25mA in battery-backup mode) make it suitable for
larger, higher-performance equipment.
The MAX791 comes in 16-pin DIP, TSSOP, and narrow SO
packages and provides the following functions:
•µP reset.

T
output is asserted during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, and is guaran-
teed to be in the correct state for V
CC
down to 1V,
even with no battery in the circuit.
Manual-reset input.
•A 1.25V threshold detector provides for power-fail
warning and low-battery detection, or monitors a
power supply other than +5V.
Two-stage power-fail warning. A separate low-line
comparator compares V
CC
to a threshold 150mV
above the reset threshold.
Backup-battery switchover for CMOS RAM, real-time
clocks, µPs, or other low-power logic.
Software monitoring of backup-battery voltage.
•A watchdog-fault output is asserted if the watchdog
input has not been toggled within either a preset or
an adjustable timeout period.
Write protection of CMOS RAM or EEPROM.
Pulsed watchdog output to give advance warning of
impending

assertion caused by watchdog timeout.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
