Product details
Overview
The MAX6306UK25D3 from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 programmable supervisory IC that monitors VCC for undervoltage conditions and asserts an active-low push/pull RESET signal when the supply falls below its factory-set 2.5V threshold. It features a 140ms minimum reset timeout, manual-reset input (MR), and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V. Used in multivoltage embedded systems to prevent microprocessor code execution errors during power-up or brownout.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6306UK25D3 datasheet, MAX6306UK25D3 pinout, MAX6306UK25D3 application, or MAX6306UK25D3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.5V ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance over -40°C to +85°C, 8µA supply current, immunity to fast VCC transients, MR input with internal 63.5kΩ pull-up, and compatibility with 3.3V/5V system rails.
Technical Context
The MAX6306UK25D3 uses an internal factory-trimmed resistor divider to monitor VCC against a precision 2.5V threshold, with ±2.5% accuracy across -40°C to +85°C and 40ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Its reset timeout is fixed at 140ms (min), determined by factory programming encoded in the "D3" suffix.
This device integrates a manual-reset input (MR) with TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, internal ESD protection, and glitch rejection of 0.1µs. The push/pull RESET output sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC > 2.5V and sources ≥500µA, ensuring robust drive into µP reset pins without external pull-ups.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6306UK25D3 is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (outline U5+1, land pattern 90-0174), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and 1.1mm height - suitable for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC > 2.5V, sources ≥500µA - no external pull-up required |
| 2: GND | System ground reference | Return path for all internal comparators and output stage; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 3: RST IN | Adjustable undervoltage reset input | Monitors secondary supply via external resistor divider; asserts reset if voltage falls below 1.23V reference |
| 4: MR | Manual-reset input | Logic-low active; internal 63.5kΩ pull-up enables switch-to-GND interface; 1.5µs min pulse width |
| 5: VCC | Main supply input and monitored rail | Power source and primary voltage monitor; device operates only when VCC ≥ 2.5625V (2.5V + 2.5%) |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UT29D3-T | 2.93V reset threshold (±2.5%), same SOT23-5 package and D3 timeout; higher threshold targets 3.3V rail with tighter margin | Optimized for 3.3V systems where 2.5V threshold lacks sufficient hysteresis against ripple | Select when supervising nominal 3.3V supplies with >100mV ripple; retains identical pinout and MR functionality |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 2.5V threshold (±0.5% typ), 200ms timeout, open-drain output; requires external pull-up; lower quiescent current (1.1µA) | Better accuracy and lower ICC suit ultra-low-power IoT nodes, but open-drain output adds component count | Choose for battery-critical applications where 1.1µA ICC outweighs added BOM complexity and reduced drive strength |
Compared with MAX6326UT29D3-T and TPS3808G125DBVR, the MAX6306UK25D3 offers balanced trade-offs: push/pull output reduces layout overhead, 2.5V threshold suits legacy 3.3V designs with known dropout margins, and 8µA ICC remains compatible with most portable systems without demanding nanowatt optimization.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6306UK25D3 and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6306UK25D3 has a factory-programmed nominal reset threshold of 2.5V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. Its temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, meaning the threshold drifts by approximately ±0.1% over a 50°C span. This ensures stable brownout detection on 3.3V rails even under thermal stress, and the specification is guaranteed - not typical - across temperature.
Does MAX6306UK25D3 require external components to function as a basic VCC supervisor?
No, the MAX6306UK25D3 requires zero external components for core VCC supervision. Its 2.5V threshold is factory-trimmed, the 140ms reset timeout is internally programmed (D3), and the MR input includes a 63.5kΩ internal pull-up. Only a 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor is recommended for noise immunity - no resistors, capacitors, or pull-ups are needed for basic operation.
Can MAX6306UK25D3 monitor a second voltage rail, and if so, how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX6306UK25D3 includes a dedicated RST IN pin that functions as an adjustable undervoltage input. To monitor a second rail (e.g., 5V or 12V), connect a resistor divider between that rail and RST IN such that the voltage at RST IN falls below 1.23V when the monitored rail drops below the desired threshold. The internal comparator references 1.23V ±0.03V, and input leakage is ≤±25nA - enabling megohm-level divider resistors.
What is the maximum VCC voltage the MAX6306UK25D3 can safely monitor?
The MAX6306UK25D3 is rated for VCC operation from (VTH + 2.5%) to +5.5V, meaning its minimum valid VCC is 2.5625V (2.5V × 1.025). Its absolute maximum VCC is +6V, but continuous operation above +5.5V risks permanent damage. For reliable supervision of a 3.3V rail, VCC must remain within 2.5625V to 5.5V - well within standard logic supply tolerances.
How does the manual-reset (MR) input behave during power-up and brownout conditions?
The MR input on the MAX6306UK25D3 is active-low and features an internal 63.5kΩ pull-up. When pulled low, it forces RESET assertion immediately and holds it active for the full 140ms timeout after MR returns high. During brownout, if VCC drops below 2.5625V, the device enters undervoltage lockout and MR becomes ineffective - RESET remains asserted until VCC recovers and the timeout expires. MR cannot override the VCC monitor's fundamental enable condition.
