Product details
Overview
The MAX6306UK29D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 programmable reset IC designed to monitor VCC and an external undervoltage input (RST IN), asserting an active-low push/pull RESET output when either falls below its threshold. It features a factory-set 2.93V ±2.5% VCC reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, 8µA supply current, and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V. It is used in multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-on and brownout reset supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6306UK29D3-T datasheet, MAX6306UK29D3-T pinout, MAX6306UK29D3-T application, or MAX6306UK29D3-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-supply monitoring capability (VCC + RST IN), manual reset input (MR), immunity to fast transients, and compatibility with 3.3V/5V systems requiring precise, low-power reset assertion.
Technical Context
The MAX6306UK29D3-T implements a precision internal voltage divider to monitor VCC against a factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold, while simultaneously comparing an external voltage at RST IN to a 1.23V internal reference via an adjustable resistor divider. Its reset generator includes a temperature-stable timeout timer and glitch-immune comparators.
This device uses a push/pull output stage capable of sourcing and sinking current, eliminating the need for an external pull-up resistor. The MR input includes a 63.5kΩ internal pull-up and supports TTL/CMOS logic levels, enabling direct switch interfacing without debounce circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% at -40°C to +85°C - sets precise brownout detection point for main supply |
| RST IN Threshold | 1.23V ±0.06V - internal reference for external undervoltage monitoring via resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail settling |
| Supply Current | 8µA (typ) at +25°C - enables use in battery-powered portable equipment with minimal quiescent drain |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push/pull - drives high/low actively; no external pull-up required for standard µP reset inputs |
| MR Input Pull-up | 63.5kΩ (typ) - allows direct connection of momentary switch to GND without external components |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - suitable for commercial-grade industrial and computing applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23 (U5+1), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant lead-free option available as MAX6306UK29D3+T.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output | Asserts low during reset condition; actively drives high after timeout - compatible with most µP reset inputs without pull-up |
| 2 - GND | System ground reference | Return path for all internal comparators and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 - RST IN | Adjustable undervoltage reset input | Monitors external supply via resistor divider; asserts reset if voltage falls below 1.23V reference |
| 4 - MR | Manual reset input | Pulled high internally; driving low forces reset for ≥140ms after release - enables operator-initiated system restart |
| 5 - VCC | Main supply input and monitored rail | Power source and primary supervision target; internal trimmed divider sets 2.93V reset threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail monitoring | Simultaneously supervises VCC (2.93V threshold) and external supply via RST IN - supports 3.3V/5V or mixed-voltage system integrity |
| Transient immunity | Guaranteed immunity to fast negative-going VCC transients ≤100ns at 2.93V overdrive - prevents false resets in noisy environments |
| No external components | Factory-programmed threshold and timeout eliminate need for external resistors, capacitors, or trim pots - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Valid RESET to 1V | RESET output remains logic-valid (VOL ≤0.3V, VOH ≥0.8×VCC) down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout |
| Manual reset integration | MR pin with internal 63.5kΩ pull-up and 1.5µs minimum pulse width - enables simple switch interface with no external biasing or filtering |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Medical Patient Monitor |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Monitors 5V infotainment SoC supply and 3.3V CAN transceiver rail in a vehicle head unit exposed to load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Immune reset supervisor preventing spurious reboots during engine cranking or alternator ripple events. Use Value: Internal transient rejection eliminates need for additional RC filtering on VCC, reducing board space and cost in constrained automotive layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6306UK29D2-T | Same 2.93V VCC threshold but 20ms min reset timeout (vs. 140ms) | Suitable for faster-boot systems where shorter reset hold time is acceptable | Select when µP initialization completes in <20ms and tighter timing control is needed |
| TLV803EB29DBZR | 2.93V threshold, open-drain output, 35µA ICC, no MR or RST IN inputs | Single-rail monitoring only; requires external pull-up; lacks manual reset and auxiliary input | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs needing basic VCC supervision only |
Compared with MAX6306UK29D2-T and TLV803EB29DBZR, the MAX6306UK29D3-T uniquely combines dual-supply monitoring, manual reset, and a 140ms timeout in a single SOT23 package - making it optimal for systems requiring robust, field-serviceable reset coordination across multiple voltage domains.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-set VCC reset threshold for MAX6306UK29D3-T?
The MAX6306UK29D3-T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.93V, with tolerance of ±2.5% over the operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet and corresponds to the "29" suffix in the part number. The threshold is set via an internal precision voltage divider and does not require external calibration.
Does MAX6306UK29D3-T support monitoring of a second independent supply?
Yes, the MAX6306UK29D3-T supports dual-supply monitoring: it supervises VCC (at 2.93V) and provides an adjustable RST IN input referenced to a 1.23V internal comparator. By connecting an external resistor divider to RST IN, users can configure supervision of a second supply such as 3.3V or 1.8V - enabling coordinated reset across multiple rails in multivoltage systems.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the MR pin on MAX6306UK29D3-T?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6306UK29D3-T is an active-low input with a 63.5kΩ internal pull-up resistor. Driving MR low forces the RESET output active for the full 140ms timeout period, even after MR returns high. It accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and requires no external components - a simple momentary switch to GND suffices for field service reset functionality.
Is MAX6306UK29D3-T compatible with systems powered below 3V?
The MAX6306UK29D3-T operates with VCC from 2.5V to 5.5V and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V. However, its 2.93V reset threshold means it is intended for systems where the monitored VCC rail is ≥3V. For sub-3V applications, alternative parts with lower thresholds (e.g., MAX6306UK25D3-T) should be selected - the "29" in MAX6306UK29D3-T explicitly denotes 2.93V nominal threshold.
How does the reset timeout period of MAX6306UK29D3-T compare to other variants in the family?
The "D3" suffix in MAX6306UK29D3-T specifies a minimum reset timeout period of 140ms. This is distinct from D1 (1ms), D2 (20ms), and D4 (1120ms) variants. The 140ms duration is optimized for systems requiring sufficient time for power rail stabilization, oscillator startup, and memory initialization - longer than D1/D2 but more responsive than D4 for mid-speed microcontrollers.
