Product details
Overview
The MAX6309UK27D2 from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 programmable supervisory IC that monitors VCC (factory-set at 2.7V ±2.5%), an adjustable undervoltage input (RST IN), and a manual-reset input (MR) to assert an active-low push/pull RESET output. It guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, features 8µA supply current, and provides a 20ms minimum reset timeout period. It is used in multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-on and brownout reset control.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6309UK27D2 datasheet, MAX6309UK27D2 pinout, MAX6309UK27D2 application, or MAX6309UK27D2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7V factory-trimmed VCC threshold, 20ms timeout (D2), push/pull RESET drive capability, MR input with internal 63.5kΩ pull-up, and immunity to fast VCC transients - all critical for portable and industrial microprocessor reset integrity.
Technical Context
The MAX6309UK27D2 implements a precision bandgap reference (1.23V) to compare VCC against its factory-trimmed 2.7V threshold via an internal resistor divider, while separately monitoring RST IN against the same reference using external resistive dividers. Its reset generator includes a temperature-stable RC timer for the 20ms (D2) timeout, and its push/pull RESET output sources up to 800µA and sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.25V.
It integrates transient-immune comparators on all inputs: VCC detection ignores negative-going glitches ≤40µs at 2.7V overdrive; RST IN and MR inputs reject sub-1µs noise pulses. The MR pin features TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (VIH = 0.7×VCC when VTH < 4.0V) and internal ESD protection, with design guidance specifying co-location of MR and VCC supplies to avoid absolute maximum rating violations.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6309UK27D2 is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (outline U5+1, land pattern 90-0174), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly. Pin 1 is RESET, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is RST IN, Pin 4 is MR, and Pin 5 is VCC - matching the standard SOT23-5 top-view orientation with Pin 1 marked by a dot or bevel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output | Drives microprocessor reset pin directly; sinks 3.2mA / sources 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.25V |
| 2 - GND | System ground reference | Return path for all internal comparators and output stage; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - RST IN | Adjustable undervoltage reset input | Compares external divided voltage to 1.23V reference; asserts reset if input falls below threshold |
| 4 - MR | Manual-reset input | Logic-low pulse forces reset; internal 63.5kΩ pull-up allows switch-to-GND interface |
| 5 - VCC | Main supply and monitored rail | Powered from system 3.3V rail; internally divided to set 2.7V reset threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors main Li-ion cell (via RST IN divider) and 3.3V LDO output (VCC = 2.7V threshold); uses MR for clinician-initiated recalibration. Use Value: 8µA supply current extends battery life; 20ms timeout ensures ADC and display initialization completes before runtime. |
| Automotive Body Control Units | Network Edge Routers |
Use Scenario: Cold-cranking resilience in 12V automotive subsystems where battery voltage dips to 6V during engine start. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: VCC tied to 5V post-regulator; RST IN monitors raw 12V; MR linked to ignition signal for controlled boot on key turn. Use Value: Immunity to 10µs transients prevents false resets during cranking; guaranteed reset to VCC = 1V covers worst-case sag. |
Use Scenario: High-availability data center routers with redundant 12V/3.3V/1.2V rails and hot-swap capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary VCC supervision at 3.3V (2.7V threshold); RST IN tracks 12V bias rail; MR enables remote firmware recovery via GPIO. Use Value: Push/pull RESET drives FPGA configuration reset without external circuitry; 20ms timeout aligns with PCIe link training requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6309UK27D3 | 140ms minimum reset timeout (vs. 20ms); identical VCC threshold, package, and pinout | Suitable for systems requiring longer initialization windows (e.g., complex FPGA configuration) | Select when extended reset hold time is needed; no PCB changes required |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 2.5V fixed VCC threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.6µA supply current, SOT23-6 package | Lacks RST IN and MR inputs; optimized for ultra-low-power single-rail supervision only | Choose for minimal current draw in simple 2.5V systems; requires layout adaptation due to 6-pin footprint |
Compared with MAX6309UK27D2, the D3 variant offers longer reset assertion for complex boot sequences, while the TPS3808G125DBVR trades multi-input flexibility for lower quiescent current and simpler architecture - making MAX6309UK27D2 optimal for cost-sensitive, feature-rich 3.3V embedded designs needing manual reset and auxiliary supply monitoring.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed VCC reset threshold for MAX6309UK27D2?
The MAX6309UK27D2 has a factory-programmed VCC reset threshold of 2.7V with a tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This value is set by an internal trimmed resistor divider and is confirmed in the device's ordering code "UK27", where "27" denotes the 2.7V nominal threshold per Maxim's Table 1. The MAX6309UK27D2 does not require external components to configure this threshold.
What does the "D2" suffix indicate in MAX6309UK27D2?
The "D2" suffix in MAX6309UK27D2 specifies a factory-programmed minimum reset timeout period of 20ms. This timeout begins when all monitored supplies (VCC and RST IN) exceed their respective thresholds and ensures the RESET signal remains asserted long enough for microprocessor initialization. The D2 option is one of four standard timeout variants (D1=1ms, D2=20ms, D3=140ms, D4=1120ms) defined in the MAX6309UK27D2 datasheet.
Does MAX6309UK27D2 support manual reset functionality?
Yes, MAX6309UK27D2 includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input on Pin 4. A logic-low pulse on MR forces the RESET output active for the duration of the pulse plus the full 20ms timeout period after MR returns high. The MR pin features an internal 63.5kΩ pull-up resistor, allowing direct connection of a momentary switch to ground without external components. Its logic thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC when VTH < 4.0V), ensuring compatibility across 3.3V and 5V systems.
What is the RESET output structure of MAX6309UK27D2?
The MAX6309UK27D2 features an active-low push/pull RESET output on Pin 1. Unlike open-drain variants, this output can both sink current (up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.25V) and source current (up to 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.25V), enabling direct drive of microprocessor reset inputs without an external pull-up resistor. This architecture improves noise immunity and reduces component count compared to open-drain supervisory ICs.
Can MAX6309UK27D2 monitor a second voltage rail besides VCC?
Yes, MAX6309UK27D2 includes an RST IN input on Pin 3 specifically for monitoring a second voltage rail. This input compares the applied voltage against an internal 1.23V reference; a resistor divider is used to scale the target rail (e.g., 12V, 24V, or battery voltage) so that RST IN falls below 1.23V when the rail drops below the desired undervoltage threshold. This allows independent supervision of auxiliary supplies while VCC monitors the primary 3.3V logic rail.
