General Description
The MAX6803/MAX6804/MAX6805 microprocessor (μP)
supervisory circuits monitor the power supplies in 2.85V
to 5.0V μP and digital systems. They increase circuit
reliability and reduce cost by eliminating external com-
ponents and adjustments. They also feature a
debounced manual reset input.
These devices perform a single function: they assert a
reset signal whenever the V
CC
supply voltage declines
below a preset threshold or whenever manual reset is
asserted. Reset remains asserted for a preset timeout
period after V
CC
has risen above the reset threshold or
after manual reset is deasserted. The only difference
among the three devices is their output. The MAX6804
(push/pull) and MAX6805 (open-drain) have an active-
low
RESET
output, while the MAX6803 (push/pull) has
an active-high RESET output. The MAX6803/MAX6804
are guaranteed to be in the correct state for V
CC
down
to 0.7V. The MAX6805 is guaranteed to be in the cor-
rect state for V
CC
down to 1.0V.
The reset comparator in these ICs is designed to ignore
fast transients on V
CC
. Reset thresholds are factory-
trimmable between 2.63V and 4.80V, in approximately
100mV increments. These devices are available with a
1ms min, 20ms min, or 100ms min reset timeout period.
Ideal for space-critical applications, the MAX6803/
MAX6804/MAX6805 come packaged in a 4-pin
SOT143. For a lower threshold voltage version, see the
MAX6335/MAX6336/MAX6337.

Ordering Information
*
These devices are available in factory-set V
CC
reset thresh-
olds from 2.63V to 4.80V, in approximately 0.1V increments.
Choose the desired reset threshold suffix from Table 1 and
insert it in the blanks following “US” in the part number.
Factory-programmed reset timeout periods are also available.
Insert the number corresponding to the desired nominal reset
timeout period (1 = 1ms min, 2 = 20ms min, 3 = 100ms min) in
the blank following “D” in the part number. There are 15 stan-
dard versions with a required order increment of 2500 pieces.
Sample stock is generally held on the standard versions only
(see Selector Guide). Contact the factory for availability of non-
standard versions (required order increment is 10,000 pieces).
All devices available in tape-and-reel only.
Typical Operating Circuit and Pin Configuration appear
