_______________Detailed Description
ignored if the battery freshness seal is enabled. MR has
an internal 43kΩ pull-up resistor, so it can be left open
if not used. This input can be driven with TTL/CMOS-
logic levels or with open-drain/collector outputs.
Connect a normally open momentary switch from MR to
GND to create a manual reset function; external
debounce circuitry is not required. If MR is driven from
long cables or the device is used in a noisy environ-
ment, connect a ±.1µF capacitor from MR to GND to
provide additional noise immunity.
General Timing Characteristics
Designed for 5V systems, the MAX817/MAX818/
MAX819 provide a number of microprocessor (µP)
supervisory functions (see the Selector Guide on the
first page). Figure 2 shows the typical timing relation-
ships of the various outputs during power-up and
power-down with typical V
rise and fall times.
CC
RESET Output
A µP’s reset input starts the µP in a known state. The
MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 µP supervisory circuits
assert a reset to prevent code-execution errors during
power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions.
Note that MR must be high or open to enable the bat-
tery freshness seal. Once the battery freshness seal is
enabled its operation is unaffected by MR.
RESET is guaranteed to be a logic low for ±V < V

Battery Freshness Seal
The MAX817/MAX818/MAX819 battery freshness seal
disconnects the backup battery from internal circuitry
and OUT until it is needed. This allows an OEM to
ensure that the backup battery connected to BATT will
be fresh when the final product is put to use. To enable
the freshness seal on the MAX817 and MAX819ꢁ

Manual Reset Input (MAX819)
Many µP-based products require manual reset capabil-
ity, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external
logic circuitry to initiate a reset. On the MAX819, a logic
low on MR asserts reset. Reset remains asserted while
