General Description
The MAX792/MAX820 microprocessor (µP) supervisory
circuits provide the most functions for power-supply
and watchdog monitoring in systems without battery
backup. Built-in features include the following:
•µP reset: Assertion of RESET and
RESET
outputs during
power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions.
RESET
is guaranteed valid for V
CC
down to 1V.
•Manual-reset input.
Two-stage power-fail warning: A separate low-line
comparator compares V
CC
to a preset threshold
120mV above the reset threshold; the low-line and
reset thresholds can be programmed externally.
Watchdog fault output: Assertion of
WDO
if the watchdog
input is not toggled within a preset timeout
period.
Pulsed watchdog output: Advance warning of
impending
WDO
assertion from watchdog timeout that
causes hardware shutdown.
Write protection of CMOS RAM, EEPROM, or other
memory devices.
The MAX792 and MAX820 are identical, except the
MAX820 guarantees higher low-line and reset threshold
accuracy (±2%).

**These parts offer a choice of five different reset threshold voltages.
Select the letter corresponding to the desired nominal reset threshold
voltage and insert it into the blank to complete the part number.
Devices in PDIP, SO and µMAX packages are available in both lead-
ed and lead-free packaging. Specify lead free by adding the + sym-
bol at the end of the part number when ordering. Lead free not avail-
able for CERDIP package.
