Transient Rejection
The MAX803/NCP803 series provides accurate V
CC
monitoring
and
reset
timing
powerdown, and brownout/sag conditions, and rejects
negativegoing transients (glitches) on the power supply
line. Figure 11 shows the maximum transient duration vs.
maximum negative excursion (overdrive) for glitch
rejection. Any combination of duration and overdrive which
lies under the curve will not generate a reset signal.
Combinations above the curve are detected as a brownout or
powerdown. Typically, transient that goes 100 mV below
the reset threshold and lasts 5.0 s or less will not cause a
reset pulse. Transient immunity can be improved by adding
a capacitor in close proximity to the V
CC
pin of the
MAX803.

RESET Signal Integrity During PowerDown
The MAX803/NCP803 RESET output is valid to V
CC
=
1.0 V. Below this voltage the output becomes an “open
circuit” and does not sink current. This means CMOS logic
inputs to the Microprocessor will be floating at an
undetermined voltage. Most digital systems are completely
shutdown well above this voltage. However, in situations
where RESET must be maintained valid to V
CC
= 0 V, since
the NCP803/MAX803 has OpenDrain and activelow
output, it typically uses a pullup resistor. With this device,
RESET will most likely not maintain an active condition,
but will drift to a nonactive level due to the pullup resistor
and the reduced sinking capability of the opendrain device.
Therefore, this device is not recommended for applications
where the RESET pin is required to be valid down to
V
CC
= 0 V.

RESET Output Allows Use With Two Power
Supplies
In numerous applications the pullup resistor place on the
RESET output is connected to the supply voltage monitored
by the IC. Nevertheless, a different supply voltage can also
power this output and so levelshift from the monitored
supply to reset the microprocessor. However, if the
NCP803/MAX803’s supply goes blew 1 V, the RESET
output ability to sink current will decrease and the result is
a high state on the pin even though the supply’s IC is under
the threshold level. This occurs at a V
CC
level that depends
on the R
pullup
value and the voltage which is connected.
