Product details
Overview
MAX6316MUK46AY+ from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with bidirectional active-low reset output, 4.63V factory-trimmed reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and 1.6s typical watchdog timeout. It monitors VCC supply integrity and µP activity in embedded systems, providing guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V and immunity to fast negative transients - critical for portable/battery-powered equipment and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6316MUK46AY+ datasheet, MAX6316MUK46AY+ pinout, MAX6316MUK46AY+ application, or MAX6316MUK46AY+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its bidirectional reset interface (designed for Motorola 68HC11), internal active pullup FET + 4.7kΩ resistor, no external components required, and lead-free RoHS-compliant packaging.
Technical Context
The MAX6316MUK46AY+ implements a dual-stage reset generator with voltage monitoring, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer (WDI). Its bidirectional RESET output combines an internal 4.7kΩ passive pullup with an active P-channel FET that enables fast low-to-high transitions (<2µs one-shot) - essential for reliable reset source identification in multi-device systems.
Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below 4.63V ±2.5%, MR is pulled low, or WDI remains static beyond 1.6s. Reset remains active for ≥140ms after VCC recovery or MR release. The device operates across -40°C to +125°C and draws only 3–8µA at 3.6V, with guaranteed functionality down to VCC = 1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% at -40°C to +125°C - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection in 5V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - ensures stable µP initialization after power recovery or manual reset |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - provides robust software execution monitoring without excessive timeout latency |
| Supply Current | 3µA (min) to 8µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed applications |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid reset signaling even during deep brownout conditions |
| Reset Output Type | Bidirectional active-low - supports µP reset source discrimination (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) without external pullup |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded control environments |

| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits; must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 52kΩ pullup; asserts reset when pulled low; rejects ≤100ns glitches |
| 4 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-triggered input; reset asserted if no transition occurs within 1.6s; accepts 50ns pulses |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored power rail; reset asserted when VCC drops below 4.63V; functional down to 1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6316LUK46AY+ | Active-low push/pull reset output (not bidirectional); same 4.63V threshold, 140ms timeout, 1.6s watchdog | Lacks bidirectional capability; requires external pullup for open-drain compatibility; unsuitable for 68HC11-style reset arbitration | Select when system uses standard CMOS reset input and does not require µP-level reset source identification |
| MAX6321HPUK46AY+ | Open-drain active-low reset output; same 4.63V threshold, 140ms timeout, 1.6s watchdog; adds high-voltage tolerant RESET (up to 6V) | Requires external pullup resistor; supports mixed-voltage reset bus (e.g., 3.3V µP with 5V pullup); no active pullup FET | Select when interfacing with multiple supply domains or legacy µPs requiring open-drain reset signaling |
Compared with MAX6316LUK46AY+ and MAX6321HPUK46AY+, the MAX6316MUK46AY+ uniquely delivers bidirectional reset arbitration with integrated active pullup - enabling deterministic reset source identification in multi-master systems without layout changes or external components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6316MUK46AY+?
The MAX6316MUK46AY+ features a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.63V, with tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in Table 1 and Table 2 of the Maxim datasheet, and corresponds to the "46" suffix in the part number. The threshold is set using laser-trimmed resistors and does not require external calibration.
Does the MAX6316MUK46AY+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX6316MUK46AY+ does not require an external pullup resistor. It integrates both a 4.7kΩ passive pullup and an active P-channel FET pullup on the bidirectional RESET pin. This dual-stage architecture ensures fast low-to-high transitions under capacitive loads - a key requirement for Motorola 68HC11-compatible reset arbitration - and eliminates the need for external components.
What is the watchdog timeout period for the MAX6316MUK46AY+?
The MAX6316MUK46AY+ has a typical watchdog timeout period of 1.6 seconds, corresponding to the "Y" suffix in the part number per Table 3 of the datasheet. This value is specified at TA = +25°C and remains stable across temperature, with normalized variation shown in Figure MAX6316toc05. The watchdog timer clears on any WDI edge or reset assertion.
Can the MAX6316MUK46AY+ operate reliably when VCC drops below 2.0V?
Yes, the MAX6316MUK46AY+ guarantees valid reset output functionality down to VCC = 1.0V, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics sections. This includes proper RESET assertion/deassertion, MR input response, and WDI edge detection - making it suitable for deep brownout scenarios common in battery-powered systems.
How does the bidirectional RESET output of the MAX6316MUK46AY+ differ from open-drain or push/pull outputs?
The MAX6316MUK46AY+ bidirectional RESET output enables µP-level reset source identification (e.g., external supervisor vs. internal watchdog fault) by supporting controlled low-to-high transitions within two clock cycles. Unlike open-drain (requires external pullup) or push/pull (unidirectional drive), it combines internal passive and active pullup to meet tight timing constraints on shared reset buses - a capability documented specifically for Motorola 68HC11 compatibility.
