Product details
Overview
MAX6309UK29D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 programmable supervisory circuit that monitors VCC (factory-set threshold 2.93V ±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 140ms minimum reset timeout, and draws only 8µA supply current - ideal for battery-powered multivoltage systems requiring reliable power-on and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6309UK29D3+T datasheet, MAX6309UK29D3+T pinout, MAX6309UK29D3+T application, or MAX6309UK29D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 2.93V VCC threshold, MR-driven reset initiation, immunity to sub-1µs VCC transients, guaranteed operation over –40°C to +85°C, and compatibility with 3.3V/5V mixed-rail embedded controllers.
Technical Context
The MAX6309UK29D3+T implements a dual-monitoring architecture: one internal factory-trimmed voltage divider sets the primary VCC reset threshold at 2.93V, while a separate comparator accepts an external resistor divider on RST IN for secondary undervoltage monitoring. Its push/pull RESET output actively drives low and high without external pull-up components.
Reset assertion is triggered when either VCC falls below 2.93V (±2.5% over temperature) or RST IN drops below 1.23V (±50mV hysteresis), with MR providing synchronous manual override. The device uses a precision bandgap reference and includes internal ESD protection, 63.5kΩ MR pull-up, and transient rejection validated up to 100V/µs dV/dt on VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable brownout detection in 3.3V systems with margin against rail sag |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - meets JEDEC JESD78 requirement for microprocessor initialization stability |
| Supply Current | 8µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push/pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and supports direct interface to CMOS/TTL µP reset pins |
| MR Input Logic | TTL/CMOS-compatible with 63.5kΩ internal pull-up - allows momentary switch or logic-level assertion without external biasing |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automotive body electronics |
| VCC Range | 2.93V +2.5% to 5.5V - supports operation across full 3.3V nominal rail with headroom for ripple and noise |
Pinout & Package
MAX6309UK29D3+T is housed in a lead-free 5-pin SOT23 package (outline U5+1, footprint 90-0174), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output | Drives low to assert reset; actively pulls high to deassert - no external pull-up required for µP interface |
| 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 | Comparator input referenced to 1.23V internal bandgap; used with external resistor divider to monitor auxiliary rails (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V) |
| 4 - MR | Manual-reset input | Logic-low active input with 63.5kΩ internal pull-up; asserts reset synchronously and holds for full 140ms timeout after release |
| 5 - VCC | Main supply and monitored rail | Power source and primary monitored voltage; internal trimmed divider sets 2.93V reset threshold; operates down to 1V for fail-safe assertion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed VCC threshold | 2.93V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates calibration effort and external resistors for primary rail monitoring |
| Immunity to fast VCC transients | Rejects <1µs negative glitches down to 100mV below threshold - prevents spurious resets in noisy switching-power-supply environments |
| No external components required | Self-contained supervision with internal reference, pull-up, and timing - reduces BOM count and layout area vs. discrete RC-based solutions |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = 1V | Output remains logically valid even during deep brownout - ensures deterministic µP state recovery before complete power collapse |
| Adjustable secondary monitoring | RST IN accepts external resistor divider to set custom thresholds (e.g., 1.8V @ ±1.2%) - enables single-IC supervision of dual-rail SoC power domains |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Medical Portable Monitors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6312UK29D3+T | Includes overvoltage reset input (OVRST IN) in addition to RST IN and MR; same 2.93V VCC threshold and 140ms timeout | Required where 3.3V rail overvoltage protection (e.g., regulator fault) is mandated alongside undervoltage monitoring | Select MAX6312UK29D3+T only if OVRST IN functionality is needed; otherwise MAX6309UK29D3+T offers lower cost and identical core supervision |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold (not 2.93V); 200ms timeout; open-drain output requires external pull-up; 1.6µA supply current | Suitable for pure 3.3V systems without auxiliary rail monitoring or manual reset; lower IQ but less flexible input configuration | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for ultra-low-power 3.3V-only applications; avoid when RST IN or MR functionality is required |
Compared with MAX6312UK29D3+T, MAX6309UK29D3+T omits overvoltage detection to reduce cost and complexity while retaining identical VCC/RST IN/MR supervision. Against TPS3808G33DBVR, it trades 1.6µA IQ for 2.93V precision thresholding, push/pull drive, and dual-input flexibility - making it superior for multivoltage industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-set VCC reset threshold for MAX6309UK29D3+T?
The MAX6309UK29D3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.93V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet and corresponds to the "29" suffix in the part number. The threshold is implemented via an internal laser-trimmed resistor divider and does not require external calibration.
Does MAX6309UK29D3+T support manual reset functionality, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6309UK29D3+T includes a dedicated MR (manual-reset) input on pin 4. A logic-low signal on MR forces an immediate reset assertion, which remains active for the full 140ms timeout period after MR returns high. The pin features a 63.5kΩ internal pull-up resistor, allowing direct connection to a momentary switch (MR to GND) without external biasing - simplifying board design and reducing component count.
What is the purpose of the RST IN pin on MAX6309UK29D3+T, and how is it used?
The RST IN pin (pin 3) on MAX6309UK29D3+T provides a second undervoltage monitoring channel independent of VCC. It compares an external voltage - set by a resistor divider - against a precise 1.23V internal reference. This enables supervision of auxiliary rails (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V, or 5V) alongside the primary 2.93V VCC rail, making MAX6309UK29D3+T suitable for multivoltage SoC or FPGA power domains.
How does MAX6309UK29D3+T ensure reliable reset during fast power supply transients?
MAX6309UK29D3+T rejects fast negative-going VCC transients as short as 100ns when the overdrive is ≤100mV below the 2.93V threshold, per Typical Operating Characteristic TOC7. This immunity is achieved through internal filtering and comparator hysteresis, preventing spurious resets in systems with switching regulators or motor drivers - a key reliability feature validated across the –40°C to +85°C range.
Is MAX6309UK29D3+T compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microprocessor reset inputs?
Yes, MAX6309UK29D3+T's push/pull RESET output (pin 1) actively drives low and high, delivering VOH ≥0.8×VCC at 500µA source current and VOL ≤0.3V at 1.2mA sink current. This ensures TTL- and CMOS-compatible logic levels across its 2.93V–5.5V VCC range, enabling direct interface to 3.3V µPs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M) and legacy 5V controllers (e.g., 8051 derivatives) without level-shifting circuitry.
