General Description

The MAX821/MAX822 microprocessor (µP) supervisory

circuits monitor power supplies in µP and digital sys-

tems. They provide excellent circuit reliability and low

cost by eliminating external components and adjust-

ments when used with 5V-powered or 3V-powered cir-

cuits. The MAX821/MAX822 also provide a power-on

reset timeout delay that is pin selectable to 1ms (max),

20ms (min), or 100ms (min).

These devices perform a single function: they assert a

below a preset threshold, and they keep reset asserted

risen above the reset threshold. The only difference

between the two devices is that the MAX821 has an

active-low RESET output (which is guaranteed to be in

MAX822 has an active-high RESET output. The reset

comparator is designed to ignore fast transients on

ety of supply voltages are available.

Low supply current makes the MAX821/MAX822 ideal

for use in portable equipment. These devices come in a

4-pin SOT143 package.
