Product details
Overview
MAX6316LUK46BY-T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push/pull reset output, 4.63V factory-trimmed reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and 1.6s typical watchdog timeout. It monitors VCC supply integrity and provides manual reset and watchdog functionality for embedded microcontroller systems requiring reliable power-on/brownout reset assertion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6316LUK46BY-T datasheet, MAX6316LUK46BY-T pinout, MAX6316LUK46BY-T application, or MAX6316LUK46BY-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, immunity to short negative VCC transients (<4µs at 100mV under threshold), AEC-Q100 qualification, and compatibility with 2.5V–5.5V operating voltage range.
Technical Context
The MAX6316LUK46BY-T implements a precision voltage monitor using laser-trimmed resistors to set its 4.63V reset threshold (±1.5% at +25°C, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C) and integrates a watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions. Its push/pull reset output sources/sinks current and remains valid down to VCC = 1V, enabling robust reset assertion during brownout conditions.
This variant belongs to the MAX6316L series, featuring active-low push/pull reset (not bidirectional or open-drain), manual reset input (MR), and watchdog input (WDI). It supports four factory-programmed reset timeout periods (1ms/20ms/140ms/1.12s) and four watchdog timeout options (6.3ms/102ms/1.6s/25.6s); the "C" suffix denotes 140ms reset timeout and "Y" denotes 1.6s watchdog timeout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V nominal (±1.5% at +25°C); ensures reliable detection of VCC drop below safe operating level for 5V systems. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum; guarantees reset signal remains asserted long enough for microprocessor initialization after power-up or recovery. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical; provides sufficient time window for firmware to service WDI without false resets in mid-speed applications. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; enables operation across wide input rails including partially discharged battery conditions. |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at VCC = 3.6V; minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; supports deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial environments. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Yes; certified for automotive applications per stress test requirements (Grade 1). |
Pinout & Package
MAX6316LUK46BY-T is housed in a miniature 5-pin SOT23 package (package code U5+2A, outline 21-0057), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and compatible with standard reflow soldering processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output; asserts logic low when VCC < 4.63V, MR pulled low, or watchdog times out; sinks/source current up to 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.7V. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and reset output; must be connected to system ground plane for stable operation. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC via 52kΩ resistor; pulling low forces reset for full 140ms timeout period. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising or falling edge clears internal timer; unconnected or three-stated to disable watchdog function. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input; powers internal monitor, reset generator, and watchdog; reset asserts when VCC drops below 4.63V threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.63V with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C ensures precise power-rail monitoring without external components. |
