Product details
Overview
MAX6316LUK46CX+ 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 control systems requiring robust power-on/brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6316LUK46CX+ datasheet, MAX6316LUK46CX+ pinout, MAX6316LUK46CX+ application, or MAX6316LUK46CX+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in battery-powered and automotive-qualified systems, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6316LUK46CX+ integrates a precision voltage comparator with ±1.5% threshold accuracy at +25°C (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), a 140ms reset timeout timer, and a 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions. Its push/pull reset output guarantees logic-low assertion down to VCC = 1V and supports sink currents up to 3.2mA at 4.5V.
It features internal MR pullup (52kΩ), WDI input with 50ns pulse detection, and immunity to negative VCC transients ≤4µs at 100mV under VRST. The device operates across 1.0V–5.5V supply range and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V nominal (factory-trimmed), ±1.5% at +25°C - ensures reliable reset assertion during 4.5V system brownout |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - guarantees sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization after power-up |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - enables supervision of firmware loops exceeding 1-second execution windows |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at 3.6V - minimizes quiescent load in always-on battery-backed subsystems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low, push/pull - drives reset line directly without external pullup, sinks 3.2mA at 4.5V |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - maintains valid reset output even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6316LUK46CX+ is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT23 package (package code U5+2A, outline 21-0057), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with thermal resistance θJA = 255.9°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output - asserts low when VCC < 4.63V, MR pulled low, or watchdog times out; deasserts after 140ms timeout |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for all internal circuits and reset output sink current |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internal 52kΩ pullup; pulling low forces reset for full 140ms timeout period |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - rising/falling edge resets 1.6s watchdog timer; unconnected disables watchdog |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - powers internal circuitry; reset asserted when VCC drops below 4.63V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.63V with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C - eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep supply sag, critical for fail-safe automotive ECUs |
| No external components required | Integrated MR pullup, precision voltage reference, and timing elements reduce BOM count and PCB area |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Validated for automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) and reliability stress testing |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects ≤4µs negative glitches at 100mV under VRST - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6316MUK46CX+ | Bidirectional active-low reset output (not push/pull); includes internal 4.7kΩ pullup + active P-FET | Required for Motorola 68HC11-style bidirectional reset interfaces; not pin-compatible with push/pull output | Select when interfacing with legacy MCUs requiring bidirectional reset bus arbitration |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold; no watchdog function; 200ms reset timeout; SOT23-5 package | Lacks watchdog supervision and manual reset; suited only for basic power-monitoring without software fault detection | Choose only if system design omits watchdog requirements and uses 3.3V supply with tighter reset margin |
Compared with MAX6316LUK46CX+, MAX6316MUK46CX+ enables bidirectional reset bus sharing but requires different MCU interface logic, while TPS3808G33DBVR offers lower cost for non-watchdog applications but sacrifices 4.63V threshold accuracy and failsafe software supervision capability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6316LUK46CX+ and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6316LUK46CX+ has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. Its reset threshold temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, ensuring predictable trip-point drift across automotive and industrial thermal environments. This stability eliminates need for external calibration in MAX6316LUK46CX+ designs.
Does MAX6316LUK46CX+ require external components for basic operation?
No, MAX6316LUK46CX+ operates autonomously with no external components required. It integrates an internal 52kΩ pullup on the MR pin, precision voltage reference, reset timeout oscillator, and watchdog timer. Only decoupling capacitance (recommended 0.1µF near VCC) is advised for noise immunity - no resistors, capacitors, or diodes are needed for core supervisory functionality in MAX6316LUK46CX+ implementations.
How does the watchdog feature of MAX6316LUK46CX+ respond to software faults?
The MAX6316LUK46CX+ watchdog timer triggers a reset if the WDI pin remains static (high or low) for 1.6s. A rising or falling edge on WDI clears the timer, allowing firmware to "kick" the watchdog at strategic points. If software hangs in an infinite loop without toggling WDI, MAX6316LUK46CX+ asserts RESET after 1.6s, forcing controlled MCU restart - a critical safety mechanism confirmed in MAX6316LUK46CX+ datasheet timing diagrams.
Can MAX6316LUK46CX+ operate reliably during severe supply brownout conditions?
Yes, MAX6316LUK46CX+ guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V, with RESET remaining a logic-low signal until VCC rises above 4.63V and holds for the full 140ms timeout. Its architecture tolerates supply sags to 1V without loss of reset assertion integrity - a key specification validated in MAX6316LUK46CX+ absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics tables.
Is MAX6316LUK46CX+ compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller reset inputs?
Yes, MAX6316LUK46CX+ push/pull RESET output is fully compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic families. At VCC ≥ 2.7V, it sources ≥500µA while maintaining VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC, and sinks ≥1.2mA while holding VOL ≤ 0.3V - meeting standard CMOS input thresholds for both voltage domains. This dual-voltage interoperability is explicitly specified in MAX6316LUK46CX+ Electrical Characteristics.
