Using the MAX6842/MAX6845 Open-Drain
RESET Output with Multiple Supplies
Generally, the pullup connected to the MAX6842/
MAX6845 connects to the supply voltage being moni-
tored at the IC’s VCC pin. However, some systems use
the open-drain output to level-shift from the monitored
supply to reset circuitry powered by some other supply
(Figure 5). Note that as the MAX6842/MAX6845’s VCC
decreases, so does the IC’s ability to sink current at
RESET. Also, with any pullup, RESET is pulled high as
VCC decays toward 0. The voltage where this occurs
depends on the pullup resistor value and the voltage to
which it is connected.
