Product details
Overview
MAX6309UK29D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 programmable supervisory IC that monitors VCC (factory-set threshold 2.93V ±2.5%) and an external undervoltage input (RST IN_), asserts active-low push/pull RESET during brownout or manual reset, and provides 140ms minimum reset timeout. It draws only 8µA supply current and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V - ideal for dual-rail 3.3V/5V embedded control systems requiring robust power-on sequencing.
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, 140ms timeout (D3), push/pull RESET drive capability, MR input with internal 63.5kΩ pull-up, and immunity to fast VCC transients up to 100V/µs.
Technical Context
The MAX6309UK29D3-T integrates a factory-trimmed voltage divider to monitor VCC against a precise 2.93V threshold (±2.5% over -0°C to +70°C), while also accepting an external resistor-divider–programmed undervoltage signal on RST IN_. Its push/pull RESET output sources/sinks current (VOH = 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA; VOL = 0.3V at ISINK = 1.2mA), eliminating external pull-up components.
It features a manual-reset input (MR) with TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, guaranteed 1.5µs minimum pulse width, and internal 63.5kΩ pull-up - enabling momentary switch interfacing without external biasing. The device ignores short VCC transients (≤100ns at 10mV overdrive) and maintains reset assertion until all monitored supplies exceed their thresholds plus full timeout delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% (factory-trimmed; enables precise 3.3V rail monitoring) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum (D3 index; ensures sufficient µP initialization time) |
| Supply Current | 8µA typical at VCC = 5.5V (enables battery-powered portable operation) |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push/pull (drives high/low without external pull-up; supports direct µP interface) |
| MR Input Pull-up | 63.5kΩ internal (allows direct switch-to-GND connection; no external resistor needed) |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (commercial-grade stability for industrial control and computing) |
| VCC Valid Range | 1.0V to 5.5V (guarantees RESET assertion integrity down to brownout edge) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6309UK29D3-T 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/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output | Drives low to assert reset; drives high to deassert - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor |
| 2 - GND | System ground reference | Common return path for internal comparators, MR, and RESET driver |
| 3 - RST IN | Adjustable undervoltage reset input | Accepts external resistor divider; asserts reset when input falls below 1.23V threshold |
| 4 - MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low active; internal 63.5kΩ pull-up enables direct SPST switch interface |
| 5 - VCC | Main supply and monitored rail | Power source and primary supervision target (2.93V threshold); operates down to 1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision VCC threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% over temperature - ensures reliable 3.3V system reset without calibration |
| Push/pull RESET output | Eliminates external pull-up resistor and reduces BOM count in µP reset circuits |
| Transient-immune supervision | Immune to VCC glitches ≤100ns (at 10mV overdrive) - prevents spurious resets in noisy environments |
| Guaranteed RESET validity | RESET remains valid down to VCC = 1.0V - supports safe brownout detection before µP lockup |
| No external timing components | Factory-programmed 140ms timeout (D3) removes capacitor tolerance and aging concerns |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Medical Point-of-Care Monitor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6306UK29D3-T | Open-drain RESET output (vs. push/pull); identical VCC threshold, timeout, and MR functionality | Requires external pull-up resistor; unsuitable where µP reset pin lacks internal pull-up or demands active drive | Select MAX6306UK29D3-T only if board layout already includes pull-up or µP supports open-drain reset |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold (not 2.93V); 200ms timeout (D2); 1.6µA supply current; SOT23-6 package | Lacks RST IN_ input and MR; designed for single-rail 3.3V systems without auxiliary monitoring or manual reset | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-supply designs where 2.93V precision and dual-input supervision are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6309UK29D3-T, MAX6306UK29D3-T requires external biasing and offers weaker drive strength, while TPS3808G33DBVR omits critical features like RST IN_ monitoring and manual reset - making MAX6309UK29D3-T uniquely suited for multirail, field-serviceable embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-programmed 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 0°C to +70°C operating range. This value corresponds to the "29" in the part number per Table 1 of the datasheet, and is implemented via an internal precision voltage divider - no external components required for threshold setting.
Does MAX6309UK29D3-T support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6309UK29D3-T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input on pin 4. It is internally pulled up to VCC with 63.5kΩ, accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels, and asserts RESET when pulled low. A momentary switch from MR to GND suffices - no external pull-up or debounce circuitry is needed, and the minimum pulse width is guaranteed at 1.5µs.
What is the function of the RST IN pin on MAX6309UK29D3-T?
The RST IN pin (pin 3) on MAX6309UK29D3-T is an adjustable undervoltage comparator input referenced to an internal 1.23V threshold. When used with an external resistor divider, it monitors a second supply rail (e.g., 5V analog section) and triggers RESET if that rail falls below the programmed level - enabling true dual-supply supervision alongside the primary 2.93V VCC monitor.
How does the RESET output type of MAX6309UK29D3-T differ from MAX6305 series parts?
Unlike the open-drain RESET output of MAX6305/MAX6306, the MAX6309UK29D3-T features an active-low push/pull RESET (pin 1). It actively drives high (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC) and low (VOL ≤ 0.3V), eliminating dependency on external pull-up resistors and ensuring robust drive into heavy capacitive loads or µP reset pins lacking internal bias.
Is MAX6309UK29D3-T compatible with 1.8V microcontrollers?
No - MAX6309UK29D3-T requires VCC ≥ 1.0V to guarantee RESET validity, but its internal VCC monitor is factory-set to 2.93V and its operational specifications (e.g., VOH, VOL, MR thresholds) assume VCC ≥ 2.5V per Electrical Characteristics. It is not rated for reliable operation with 1.8V core supplies; use MAX6312 or MAX6313 variants for lower-voltage supervision.
