Detailed Description

Supply Voltages

The MAX6351–MAX6360 microprocessor (µP) superviso-

ry circuits maintain system integrity by alerting the µP to

fault conditions. These ICs monitor multiple-supply sys-

tems. The output reset state is guaranteed to remain

Threshold Levels

All the possible input voltage threshold level combina-

tions are indicated by a two-letter code in the Voltage

Threshold Levels table.

Reset Outputs

The MAX6351 provides two active-low, push-pull reset

outputs, one corresponding to each of its two moni-

tored voltages. The MAX6353/MAX6356/MAX6359 have

an active-low, push-pull reset output that is referenced

active-low, push-pull reset output that is referenced to

active-low open-drain reset. The reset outputs are

maintained as long as at least one of the supplies is

above +1V.

The MAX6351–MAX6360 are designed to ignore short

Overdrive graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics.

Third Input Voltage

(MAX6355/MAX6356/MAX6357)

The MAX6355/MAX6356/MAX6357 provide an addition-

al input to monitor a third voltage. The threshold voltage

at RSTIN is typically 1.22V. To monitor a voltage higher

than 1.22V, connect a resistive divider to the circuit as

Watchdog Input

(MAX6358/MAX6359/MAX6360)

The MAX6358/MAX6359/MAX6360 include a dual-

mode watchdog timer to monitor µP activity. The flexi-

ble timeout architecture provides a startup mode,

allowing complicated systems to complete lengthy

boots, and a normal mode, allowing the supervisor to

provide quick alerts when processor activity fails.
