Since the RESET output on the MAX6328/MAX6348 is
open drain, these devices interface easily with micro-
processors (µPs) that have bidirectional reset pins,
such as the Motorola 68HC11. Connecting the µP
supervisor’s RESET output directly to the microcon-
troller’s (µC’s) RESET pin with a single pull-up resistor
allows either device to assert reset (Figure 1).

In addition to issuing a reset to the µP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, these devices
are relatively immune to short-duration, negative-going
V
transients (glitches).

The Typical Operating Characteristics show the Maxi-
mum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive
graph, for which reset pulses are not generated. The
graph shows the maximum pulse width that a negative-
going V
transient may typically have when issuing a
CC
reset signal. As the amplitude of the transient increas-
es, the maximum allowable pulse width decreases.
