Product details
Overview
MAX6318LHUK31CY-T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push/pull reset output, manual reset input, and watchdog timer. It features a factory-trimmed 3.08V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and 1.6s typical watchdog timeout. Used in embedded control systems to prevent code-execution errors during power-up, brownout, or software lockup.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6318LHUK31CY-T datasheet, MAX6318LHUK31CY-T pinout, MAX6318LHUK31CY-T application, or MAX6318LHUK31CY-T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy at temperature extremes, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, bidirectional compatibility with legacy μP reset protocols, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-adjacent industrial use.
Technical Context
The MAX6318LHUK31CY-T integrates a precision voltage detector, programmable reset timer, and edge-triggered watchdog circuit. Its reset generator asserts active-low RESET when VCC falls below 3.08V, after MR low-to-high transition, or upon WDI timeout - holding output active for ≥140ms after recovery. The watchdog clears on any WDI edge (≥50ns pulse width) and supports timeout periods of 6.3ms–25.6s.
This variant belongs to the LH suffix group: it combines active-low push/pull RESET output with manual reset (MR) input but excludes watchdog functionality (WDI pin present but unused per Selector Guide). Its internal 52kΩ MR pullup and guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = 1V enable robust operation in battery-powered and low-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
MAX6318LHUK31CY-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (package code U5+2A, outline 21-0057), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm with gull-wing leads. This RoHS-compliant, surface-mount package enables high-density PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output; asserts logic low during fault conditions and releases cleanly after timeout. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and timing circuits; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 3 | MR | Manual reset input; active-low signal forces reset for full timeout period; internally pulled up to VCC via 52kΩ. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input pin; unused in LH variants but electrically present; must be left open or tied to VCC/GND per design. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input; powers all internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Integrated voltage reference, timing capacitor, and pullup resistors eliminate BOM cost and layout area. |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout-critical for data integrity in flash memory writes. |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Rejects ≤4µs, 100mV-under-threshold glitches-prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments. |
| Factory-trimmed precision threshold | 3.08V ±2.5% over full temperature range eliminates need for calibration or trimming in production. |
| SOT23-5 footprint compatibility | Standardized 5-pin layout allows drop-in replacement across MAX6316–MAX6322 family variants. |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6318LHUK31CY-T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6318LHUK31CY-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating range of -40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, meaning drift is limited to ±0.012V across the entire range. This precision eliminates need for external calibration and ensures consistent brownout detection in thermally demanding applications like automotive engine control modules.
Does MAX6318LHUK31CY-T include watchdog functionality, and how is the WDI pin used?
No, the MAX6318LHUK31CY-T does not implement watchdog functionality-the "LH" suffix indicates active-low push/pull RESET with manual reset (MR) but no watchdog timer. The WDI pin is physically present but unused; it may be left floating, tied to VCC, or grounded without affecting operation. This distinguishes it from "LW", "LX", "LY", or "LZ" variants which activate the watchdog with corresponding timeout periods.
Can MAX6318LHUK31CY-T operate reliably below 2.5V supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6318LHUK31CY-T is guaranteed to assert and maintain valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V, per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. Its internal circuitry remains functional and monotonic throughout this range, enabling safe shutdown sequencing and data retention in ultra-low-power systems such as energy-harvesting sensors and backup power domains.
What is the purpose of the MR pin on MAX6318LHUK31CY-T and how should it be interfaced?
The MR pin on MAX6318LHUK31CY-T is an active-low manual reset input that forces RESET assertion for the full 140ms timeout period upon low-to-high transition. It features an internal 52kΩ pullup to VCC, allowing direct connection to a momentary switch (to GND) without external components. MR accepts TTL- or CMOS-level signals and rejects <100ns noise pulses-making it ideal for front-panel reset buttons and system-level fault recovery triggers.
Is MAX6318LHUK31CY-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6318LHUK31CY-T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: -40°C to +125°C), meeting stress test requirements for automotive electronic components. While not designated with "/V" suffix (which denotes full automotive PPAP compliance), its qualification covers thermal cycling, humidity, ESD, and accelerated life testing-making it suitable for under-dash infotainment, ADAS auxiliary modules, and body electronics where extended temperature and reliability are mandatory.
