Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit
_____________________General Description
The MAX791 microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit
reduces the complexity and number of components need-
ed to monitor power-supply and battery-control functions
in µP systems. The 50µA supply current makes the
MAX791 ideal for use in portable equipment, while the 6ns
chip-enable propagation delay and 250mA output capa-
bility (25mA in battery-backup mode) make it suitable for
larger, higher-performance equipment.
The MAX791 comes in 16-pin DIP and narrow SO pack-
ages and provides the following functions:
1) µP reset—–R—E—S—E—T– output is asserted during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, and is guaran-
teed to be in the correct state for VCC down to 1V,
even with no battery in the circuit.
2) Manual-reset input.
3) A 1.25V threshold detector provides for power-fail
warning and low-battery detection, or monitors a
power supply other than +5V.
4) Two-stage power-fail warning—a separate low-line
comparator compares VCC to a threshold 150mV
above the reset threshold.
5) Backup-battery switchover for CMOS RAM, real-time
clocks, µPs, or other low-power logic.
6) Software monitoring of backup-battery voltage.
7) A watchdog-fault output is asserted if the watchdog
input has not been toggled within either a preset or
an adjustable timeout period.
8) Write protection of CMOS RAM or EEPROM.
9)
