Product details
Overview
MAX6318LHUK49BX+T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push/pull reset output, 4.9V factory-trimmed reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 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 MAX6318LHUK49BX+T datasheet, MAX6318LHUK49BX+T pinout, MAX6318LHUK49BX+T application, or MAX6318LHUK49BX+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 reset compatibility support (via internal active pullup), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-adjacent industrial use.
Technical Context
The MAX6318LHUK49BX+T integrates a precision voltage detector, programmable reset timer, and watchdog timer with edge-triggered WDI input. Its reset generator asserts active-low RESET when VCC falls below 4.9V (±2.5%), after MR deassertion, or upon WDI timeout - holding RESET low for ≥140ms after VCC recovery.
It features a push/pull output stage capable of sourcing/sinking ≥500µA at VCC ≥ 2.7V (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC, VOL ≤ 0.3V), with guaranteed logic-level validity down to VCC = 1V. The watchdog circuit clears on any WDI edge (≥50ns pulse width) and times out after 1.6s if unserviced.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.9V nominal (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable detection of 4.9V supply brownout |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum; guarantees processor remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail recovery |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical; provides robust software hang detection without excessive system interruption |
| Supply Current | 5–12µA at VCC = 3.6V; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or portable systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; supports deployment in automotive engine compartments and industrial control enclosures |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; allows valid reset signaling even during deep brownout or partial power loss |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low, push/pull; eliminates need for external pullup and drives standard CMOS inputs directly |
Pinout & Package
MAX6318LHUK49BX+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT23 package (package code U5+2A, outline 21-0057), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and thermal resistance θJA = 255.9°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output; sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.7V, sources ≥500µA; valid down to VCC = 1V |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and reset timing accuracy |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC via 52kΩ; accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; edge-sensitive (rising/falling); resets watchdog timer on each transition; disable by leaving floating |
| 5 | VCC | Supply input; monitored for reset threshold violation; absolute max rating = +6V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Integrated voltage reference, timing capacitors, and pullup resistors eliminate BOM cost and layout area |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout, preventing undefined MCU states |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Rejects <4µs glitches at 100mV below threshold - avoids spurious resets from switching noise or ESD |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability (Grade 1: -40°C to +125°C junction) |
| Factory-trimmed precision | 4.9V threshold tolerance ±2.5% across full temperature range - no calibration needed in production |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6318MHUK49BX+T | Bidirectional active-low RESET output (not push/pull); includes internal 4.7kΩ pullup + active P-FET | Required for Motorola 68HC11-style bidirectional reset buses; not drop-in compatible with push/pull designs | Select only when interfacing with µPs requiring bidirectional reset handshaking (e.g., legacy HC11 derivatives) |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold; 200ms reset timeout; no watchdog function; SOT23-6 package | Lacks watchdog monitoring; suitable only for basic power-on reset where software supervision is handled externally | Choose when watchdog capability is unnecessary and 3.3V threshold aligns with system rail; requires PCB redesign (6-pin vs 5-pin) |
Compared with MAX6318MHUK49BX+T, the MAX6318LHUK49BX+T offers direct push/pull drive without bus contention concerns; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds watchdog supervision and tighter 4.9V threshold matching for 5V-system brownout detection - at the cost of higher design complexity for non-watchdog use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6318LHUK49BX+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6318LHUK49BX+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.900V, with tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). At +25°C, the threshold is specified as 4.874V (min) to 4.974V (max), per Table 1 in the datasheet. This precision eliminates need for external resistor dividers or calibration.
Does MAX6318LHUK49BX+T include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout period?
Yes, MAX6318LHUK49BX+T includes a watchdog timer with a typical timeout period of 1.6 seconds. This value corresponds to the "Y" suffix in the part number (MAX6318LHUK49BX+T → X = watchdog Y = 1.6s). The timer clears on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and asserts reset if unserviced for the full timeout duration.
Can MAX6318LHUK49BX+T operate reliably during deep brownout conditions?
Yes, MAX6318LHUK49BX+T guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1.0V. Its push/pull RESET output maintains logic-low and logic-high levels (VOL ≤ 0.3V, VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC) even at this low supply voltage, ensuring deterministic MCU reset behavior during severe undervoltage events before complete power loss.
What is the function of the WDI pin on MAX6318LHUK49BX+T, and how should it be driven?
The WDI (Watchdog Input) pin on MAX6318LHUK49BX+T is edge-sensitive: any rising or falling transition resets the 1.6s watchdog timer. It must be toggled periodically by firmware - typically via GPIO - with pulse width ≥50ns. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog feature, causing internal servicing at ~7/8 of the timeout period.
Is MAX6318LHUK49BX+T compatible with bidirectional reset microcontrollers like the Motorola 68HC11?
No, MAX6318LHUK49BX+T features an active-low push/pull RESET output, not a bidirectional one. For 68HC11 compatibility, use MAX6318MHUK49BX+T instead, which implements bidirectional reset with integrated active pullup. Swapping these parts requires PCB layout change and firmware reset-handshake validation.
