Product details
Overview
The MAX6318LHUK46CY-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 reset assertion during power-up, brownout, or software hang conditions in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6318LHUK46CY-T datasheet, MAX6318LHUK46CY-T pinout, MAX6318LHUK46CY-T application, or MAX6318LHUK46CY-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), bidirectional compatibility with Motorola 68HC11-style reset buses, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device integrates a precision voltage monitor, programmable reset timer, and watchdog timer with edge-triggered WDI input. Its reset generator asserts active-low RESET when VCC falls below 4.63V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C, holding it low for ≥140ms after VCC recovers above threshold.
The watchdog circuit clears on any rising or falling edge at WDI (pulse width ≥50ns) and times out after 1.6s if unserviced; it remains disabled when WDI is left unconnected. The push/pull output drives RESET low with ≤0.4V VOL at 3.2mA sink and high with VOH ≥0.8×VCC at 500µA source, ensuring robust interface with µP reset inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable detection of 5V supply brownout before system instability. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization after power recovery. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - provides adequate window to detect firmware hangs without false triggers. |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at 3.6V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout down to 1V VCC. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low, push/pull - eliminates need for external pullup and ensures fast, rail-to-rail logic levels. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6318LHUK46CY-T 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 gull-wing leads. Thermal resistance θJA is 255.9°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output - sinks up to 3.2mA and sources 500µA; asserts low during VCC undervoltage, watchdog timeout, or MR activation. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for internal comparators, timers, and output stage. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 52kΩ; pulling low forces reset for full 140ms timeout period. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive (rising/falling); must be toggled within 1.6s to prevent reset; left open to disable watchdog. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for reset threshold violation; operates from 1.0V to 5.5V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Integrated voltage reference, timing resistors, and push/pull driver eliminate BOM cost and layout area. |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, critical for fail-safe embedded controllers. |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands <4µs, 100mV undershoot glitches without spurious reset - improves system noise resilience. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. |
| Factory-trimmed precision threshold | 4.63V threshold with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - removes need for calibration or trimming. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|

| Medical Infusion Pump Controller | Smart Energy Meter MCU Subsystem |
|
Use Scenario: Provides fail-safe reset supervision for safety-critical ARM-based pump controller operating from Li-ion backup supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asserts reset when main 3.3V rail drops below 4.63V (monitored via resistor divider), and detects firmware freeze via WDI edge detection. Use Value: Guaranteed reset down to VCC = 1V ensures safe shutdown even during battery depletion; MR pin enables hardware-initiated recalibration reset. |
Use Scenario: Supervises metrology SoC and communication module in ANSI C12.22-compliant smart meter with dual-supply architecture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-low push/pull RESET output interfaces directly to SoC reset pin; WDI driven by metrology firmware loop. Use Value: No external pullup reduces component count and leakage paths; 140ms reset timeout meets IEC 62056-21 power-fail recovery requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6318MHUK46CY-T | Bidirectional active-low RESET output with integrated 4.7kΩ pullup and P-channel active pullup FET - supports Motorola 68HC11-style reset bus arbitration. | Required where µP must distinguish self-initiated vs. supervisor-initiated reset via two-cycle sampling protocol. | Select when interfacing with legacy 68HC11 or other bidirectional-reset µPs; not drop-in compatible due to different pin function (Pin 1 = bidirectional, not push/pull). |
| TLV803EB29DBZR | Fixed 2.93V reset threshold, no watchdog, SOT23-5, 35µA supply current - simpler single-function reset IC without supervision features. | Suitable only for basic power-on reset without software hang detection or manual reset capability. | Choose only if watchdog and MR functions are unnecessary; lacks 4.63V threshold, 1.6s watchdog, and AEC-Q100 qualification of MAX6318LHUK46CY-T. |
Compared with MAX6318MHUK46CY-T, the MAX6318LHUK46CY-T offers faster, lower-impedance push/pull drive ideal for modern µPs without bidirectional reset requirements; compared with TLV803EB29DBZR, it delivers comprehensive supervision (watchdog + MR + precise 4.63V threshold) essential for safety-critical embedded systems.
