Calculating Adjustable Voltage Thresholds MAX6705(A)/ MAX6706(A)/MAX6707(A) Watchdog Timing Reset InputMonitoring Other System Voltages The MAX6701(A)/MAX6702(A)/MAX6703(A) include two Other systems can be monitored by connecting a adjustable reset inputs for monitoring up to a total of voltage-divider to PFI and adjusting the ratio appropriately. three system voltages (including VCC). The thresholds In noisy systems, a capacitor between PFI and GND for the monitored RST_IN supplies are externally set reduces the power-fail circuit’s sensitivity to high- with resistor-divider networks (Figure 8). The reset frequency noise on the line being monitored. Reset can output is asserted if any of the monitored supplies (VCC, be asserted on other voltages in addition to the VCC RST_IN1, or RST_IN2) go below its specified threshold supply line. Connect PFO to MR to initiate a reset out- and remains asserted for the reset timeout period after put pulse when PFI drops below 0.62V. Figure 10 all supplies are above their thresholds. shows the MAX6704 – MAX6708 configured to assert a reset output when the secondary supply falls below the Applications Information reset threshold. Ensuring a Valid RESET OutputGenerating a Reset from Watchdog OverflowDown to VCC = 0 Connect WDO to MR to force a watchdog timeout to gen- When VCC falls below 1V, the MAX6701 – MAX6708 erate a reset pulse for only the reset timeout period on the RESET output no longer sinks current; it becomes an MAX6701(A)/MAX6702(A)/MAX6703(A)/MAX6705(A)/ open circuit.
