Product details
Overview
The MAX6312UK46D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 programmable supervisory circuit that monitors VCC and an external undervoltage input (RST IN), asserts an active-high push/pull RESET output, and includes a manual-reset input (MR). It features a factory-programmed 4.63V ±2.5% VCC reset threshold, 140ms (min) reset timeout, 8µA supply current, and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.0V - ideal for multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-on and brownout reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6312UK46D3+T datasheet, MAX6312UK46D3+T pinout, MAX6312UK46D3+T application, or MAX6312UK46D3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in portable and industrial systems, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional differences and selection guidance.
Technical Context
The MAX6312UK46D3+T implements a dual-monitoring architecture: one internal factory-trimmed voltage divider sets the primary VCC reset threshold at 4.63V, while a dedicated RST IN pin accepts an externally programmed undervoltage signal referenced to a 1.23V internal comparator. Its active-high push/pull RESET output sources/sinks current without requiring external pull-up components.
It integrates a manual-reset input (MR) with internal 63.5kΩ pull-up, supports MR-driven reset assertion with 500ns delay, and rejects fast transients on both VCC and RST IN via built-in immunity design - validated across -40°C to +85°C operation with ±2.5% threshold tolerance over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% at -40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable detection of 5V rail brownout before microprocessor malfunction |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for stable processor initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 8µA typical at VCC = 5.5V - enables battery longevity in portable equipment with no external quiescent load |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push/pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and ensures valid logic level down to VCC = 1.0V |
| MR Input Logic | TTL/CMOS-compatible with 0.3×VCC low / 0.7×VCC high thresholds - allows direct interface with 3.3V or 5V control logic |
| RST IN Threshold Reference | 1.23V ±0.03V internal reference - enables precise external undervoltage monitoring of secondary rails (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V) |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive-adjacent embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6312UK46D3+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0057), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and thermal pad omitted - suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-high push/pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; sinks 3.2mA / sources 0.8×VCC at VCC > 4.25V; valid down to VCC = 1.0V |
| 2 - GND | System ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and output stage; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - RST IN | Adjustable undervoltage reset input | Compares external divided voltage to 1.23V reference; asserts reset when input falls below threshold |
| 4 - MR | Manual-reset input | Pull-low to force reset; internal 63.5kΩ pull-up allows NC or VCC tie; 500ns MR-to-RESET delay |
| 5 - VCC | Main supply and monitored rail | Power source and primary monitored voltage; internal trimmed divider sets 4.63V reset point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set precision reset threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% over full temperature range - eliminates calibration effort and external resistor networks |
| Dual-supply monitoring capability | Simultaneous VCC (4.63V) and RST IN (externally programmable) supervision - supports 5V/3.3V system integrity checks |
| Transient-immune architecture | Validated rejection of sub-200ns VCC/RST IN glitches - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| No external components required | Self-contained reset generation with integrated reference, timer, and push/pull driver - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V | RESET remains logically valid during deep brownout - ensures deterministic µP behavior until complete power collapse |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Portable Medical Monitor |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 5V main rail and 3.3V sensor interface rail in a DIN-rail mounted controller exposed to 24V field wiring noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail supervisor asserting active-high RESET to ARM Cortex-M4 MCU upon any rail dropout; 140ms timeout ensures firmware boot stability. Use Value: Prevents corrupted register writes during 24V-induced 5V sag by detecting <4.51V (4.63V −2.5%) and holding reset for ≥140ms post-recovery. |
Use Scenario: Powers clinical-grade ECG front-end and display subsystem from Li-ion battery with dynamic 4.2V–3.0V discharge curve. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses RST IN to monitor scaled-down battery voltage while VCC tracks regulated 3.3V; triggers shutdown before data loss. Use Value: Enables graceful firmware save-and-halt when battery drops below 3.4V (via RST IN divider), independent of 3.3V LDO regulation. |
| Automotive Infotainment Head Unit | Network Edge Gateway |
Use Scenario: Supervises 5V USB-C PD input and 1.8V SoC core rail in a thermally stressed dashboard environment (-40°C to +85°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MR pin tied to vehicle ignition signal; asserts RESET on key-on to synchronize boot sequence with power stabilization. Use Value: Eliminates race condition between power rail settling and SoC release from reset, using MR's 500ns propagation guarantee. |
Use Scenario: Manages power sequencing for dual-core MIPS processor and 10/100 Ethernet PHY in fanless industrial router. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: VCC monitors 3.3V system rail; RST IN monitors 1.2V DDR termination voltage; single RESET output coordinates both domains. Use Value: Ensures DDR PHY is held in reset until both 3.3V and 1.2V are stable, preventing bus contention during cold start. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6312EUK46D3+T | Extended temperature grade: -40°C to +85°C vs. 0°C to +70°C for MAX6312UK46D3+T | Required for automotive, outdoor, or industrial ambient deployments beyond commercial temperature range | Select MAX6312EUK46D3+T when operating in environments exceeding 70°C ambient or requiring extended qualification |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; 200ms min timeout; open-drain output; no RST IN or MR pins | Limited to single-rail 3.3V monitoring; requires external pull-up; lacks manual reset and auxiliary input flexibility | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-threshold 3.3V applications where RST IN/MR are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6312UK46D3+T, the MAX6312EUK46D3+T extends thermal reliability without altering pinout or function, while the TPS3808G33DBVR trades multi-rail flexibility and manual control for lower unit cost and simpler integration in fixed 3.3V systems.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-programmed reset threshold voltage for MAX6312UK46D3+T?
The MAX6312UK46D3+T has a nominal VCC reset threshold of 4.63V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This value is factory-trimmed into the internal voltage divider and corresponds to the "46" in the part number per Table 1 of the datasheet. The actual measured threshold falls between 4.514V and 4.746V at room temperature, and remains within spec across temperature extremes.
Does MAX6312UK46D3+T support monitoring of a second voltage rail besides VCC?
Yes, MAX6312UK46D3+T supports secondary rail monitoring via its RST IN pin, which compares an externally divided input voltage against a precise 1.23V internal reference. This enables undervoltage supervision of rails such as 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V - independent of the primary 4.63V VCC threshold - making MAX6312UK46D3+T suitable for true multivoltage system supervision.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the MR pin on MAX6312UK46D3+T?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6312UK46D3+T is an active-low input with internal 63.5kΩ pull-up. Pulling MR below 0.3×VCC asserts RESET immediately, and RESET remains active for the full 140ms timeout after MR returns high. Its 500ns propagation delay and TTL/CMOS compatibility allow direct connection to microcontrollers or momentary switches without external conditioning - a core feature distinguishing MAX6312UK46D3+T from basic reset monitors.
Is MAX6312UK46D3+T compatible with 3.3V-only systems?
MAX6312UK46D3+T is not intended for 3.3V-only supervision because its factory-set VCC threshold is 4.63V - optimized for 5V rail monitoring. However, it can operate from a 3.3V supply if VCC ≥ (4.63V + 2.5%) ≈ 4.75V is not met; per datasheet conditions, VCC must exceed the reset threshold by at least 2.5% for proper monitoring. For 3.3V systems, use MAX6312UK33D3+T or similar 3.3V-threshold variant instead of MAX6312UK46D3+T.
What package type and lead finish does MAX6312UK46D3+T use?
MAX6312UK46D3+T uses a 5-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0057) with lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish, indicated by the "+T" suffix. It is supplied in tape-and-reel format only, with 3000 units per reel. The package has 0.95mm pin pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm body size, and no thermal pad - designed for reflow soldering and automated assembly in high-density layouts.
