Supply Voltage Monitor
The MAX16122–MAX16125 have an internal comparator
with a programmable trip threshold to monitor the sup-
ply voltage. The V_CC monitoring thresholds are select-
able through the part number suffix (see the Ordering
Information and Table 3).
Applications Information
Falling V_CC Transients
In addition to issuing a reset to the FP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, the MAX16122–
MAX16125 are relatively immune to short-duration fall-
ing V_CC transients (glitches). The Typical Operating
Characteristics show the Maximum Transient Duration
vs. V_CC Overdrive graph for which the MAX16122–
MAX16125 do not generate a reset pulse. This graph was
generated using a falling pulse applied to VCC starting
above the actual reset threshold and ending below the
threshold by the magnitude indicated (V_CC overdrive).
The graph indicates the typical maximum pulse width
that a falling transient can have without initiating a reset
pulse. As the magnitude of the transient increases (go
farther below the reset threshold), the maximum allow-
able pulse width decreases.
Ensuring a Valid RESET Output Down to
VCC = 0V (Push-Pull RESET Output)
The MAX16122–MAX16125 guarantee proper operation
down to V_CC = 0.95V. In applications that require valid
reset levels down to V_CC = 0V, add a pulldown resis-
tor between RESET and GND for the push-pull outputs
(MAX16122/MAX16124). The resistor sinks any stray
leakage currents, holding RESET low (Figure 2). The
resistor value used is not critical, but it must be small
enough not to overload the RESET output when V_CC is
above the reset threshold. For most applications, use
100kI to 1MI. This scheme does not work with open-
drain outputs of the MAX16123/MAX16125.
Layout and Bypassing
Ensure 0.1FF (minimum) capacitance is connected from
V_CC to GND.
