Product details
Overview
MAX6321HPUK30CY-T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low open-drain reset output, 3.0V 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 in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6321HPUK30CY-T datasheet, MAX6321HPUK30CY-T pinout, MAX6321HPUK30CY-T application, or MAX6321HPUK30CY-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain RESET output compatible with mixed-voltage systems up to 6V, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, immunity to short negative VCC transients (<4µs at 100mV under threshold), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MAX6321HPUK30CY-T implements a precision voltage monitor using a factory-laser-trimmed resistor divider to set the 3.0V reset threshold, with ±2.5% tolerance across -40°C to +125°C and 40ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Its internal watchdog timer clears on any WDI edge and times out after 1.6s if unserviced.
Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below 3.0V, when MR is pulled low (with 52kΩ internal pullup), or when WDI remains static beyond 1.6s. After recovery, RESET remains asserted for 140ms before deasserting; the open-drain output requires an external pullup to any supply ≤6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.0V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable power-fail detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - guarantees sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization after power stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - provides robust software hang detection without excessive system interruption |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at 3.6V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or portable applications |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows level-shifting and wired-OR connection with multiple reset sources up to 6V |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - supports under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment deployment |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 1 - validated for automotive electronics per stress testing requirements (HTOL, TC, HAST, etc.) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6321HPUK30CY-T is housed in a 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/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output - sinks current only; requires external pullup to define logic-high level (up to 6V) |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for all internal circuitry and reset timing references |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 52kΩ; asserts reset when pulled low ≥1.5µs |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive; reset triggered if no transition occurs within 1.6s; disable by leaving floating |
| 5 | VCC | Supply input - powers device and serves as monitored rail; reset asserts when VCC drops below 3.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Open-drain RESET with 0.4V VOL @ 3.2mA | Enables interoperability with 1.8V–6V logic families and supports wired-OR reset bus architectures |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions before full power collapse |
| Immunity to <4µs negative VCC transients | Prevents spurious resets from EMI or switching noise without requiring additional filtering components |
| No external components required | Reduces BOM count and PCB area - integrates precision threshold, timing, and reset logic in 5-pin SOT23 |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validates reliability for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6321HPUK31CY-T | 3.08V reset threshold (vs. 3.00V), same 140ms tRP and 1.6s tWD | Suitable where tighter margin above 3.0V rail is needed to avoid nuisance resets during ripple | Select when system VCC nominal is 3.3V with >100mV headroom required before reset assertion |
| TLV803EB30DBVR | 3.0V threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no watchdog or MR, SOT23-5, 0.9µA ICC | Lacks watchdog and manual reset; optimized purely for low-power voltage monitoring | Choose for cost-sensitive, static-supply applications where software supervision is handled externally |
Compared with MAX6321HPUK30CY-T, the MAX6321HPUK31CY-T offers slightly higher reset threshold for improved noise margin on 3.3V rails, while TLV803EB30DBVR trades watchdog/MR functionality for ultra-low quiescent current-making it suitable only for simple power-fail detection without system-level fault recovery.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6321HPUK30CY-T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6321HPUK30CY-T has a nominal reset threshold of 3.00V at +25°C, with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C and a temperature coefficient of 40ppm/°C. This means the actual threshold stays within 2.925V to 3.075V across the full operating range, ensuring predictable brownout response in automotive and industrial environments where ambient temperature swings are extreme.
Does MAX6321HPUK30CY-T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin, and what value is recommended?
Yes, MAX6321HPUK30CY-T features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor. A 10kΩ resistor to the target logic supply (up to 6V) is recommended - it ensures valid logic-high levels while limiting sink current to ≤3.2mA at 0.4V VOL, meeting drive capability specs across all VCC conditions from 1.0V to 5.5V.
Can the watchdog function of MAX6321HPUK30CY-T be disabled, and if so, how?
Yes, the watchdog function in MAX6321HPUK30CY-T is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected or three-stating the driving source. When floating, the internal watchdog timer is automatically serviced every ~1.4s (7/8 of 1.6s) by an internal pulse, preventing unintended reset assertion while retaining full supervisory functionality for VCC and MR inputs.
What is the minimum pulse width required on the MR pin of MAX6321HPUK30CY-T to trigger a reset?
The MR pin of MAX6321HPUK30CY-T requires a minimum low pulse width of 1.5µs at temperatures from -40°C to +125°C to reliably assert reset. This specification accounts for worst-case timing across voltage and temperature extremes, and the internal 52kΩ pullup ensures MR remains high when unused - eliminating need for external biasing components.
Is MAX6321HPUK30CY-T qualified for automotive applications, and what does that qualification cover?
Yes, MAX6321HPUK30CY-T is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), highly accelerated stress test (HAST), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) per automotive reliability standards. This validates its suitability for under-hood and cabin electronics where long-term stability and failure-free operation are critical.
