Product details
Overview
MAX6321HPUK46CY+T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low open-drain 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 system-level reset assertion during power-up, brownout, or software hang conditions in embedded controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6321HPUK46CY+T datasheet, MAX6321HPUK46CY+T pinout, MAX6321HPUK46CY+T application, or MAX6321HPUK46CY+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, immunity to short negative VCC transients (<4µs at 100mV under threshold), and compatibility with multi-supply reset bus architectures via external pullup.
Technical Context
The MAX6321HPUK46CY+T implements a precision voltage monitor with factory-laser-trimmed resistor divider setting VRST = 4.63V (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), integrated watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions, and manual reset input with internal 52kΩ pullup. It asserts reset when VCC falls below VRST, MR is pulled low, or WDI remains static beyond 1.6s.
Its open-drain RESET output sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOL ≤ 0.4V) and supports pullup to any supply ≤6V. The device features no external components required, operates from 1.0V to 5.5V, and guarantees functional reset behavior down to VCC = 1V - critical for low-voltage brownout detection in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection at nominal 4.63V supply level |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - holds reset asserted long enough for microcontroller power stabilization and clock lock |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - detects software hangs without excessive system interruption latency |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - enables operation across wide battery discharge profiles and mixed-voltage systems |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR reset bus with multiple sources and flexible pullup voltage selection |
| Quiescent Current | 3–12µA at VCC = 3.6V - minimizes battery drain in always-on portable equipment |

Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23 (U5+2A), 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output - requires external pullup; sinks current only; compatible with 3.3V/5V logic buses |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for all internal circuits and external decoupling |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC (52kΩ); debounced by 100ns glitch rejection |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive; clears internal timer on rising/falling edges; disabled if left floating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6321HPUK46CT+T | Same electrical specs and pinout; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (standard vs. custom reel size) | No functional difference; identical performance and qualification | Select for standard distribution channel availability and smaller order increments |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold (not adjustable); 200ms min timeout; no watchdog; SOT23-5 package | Lacks watchdog and manual reset; suitable only for basic power-monitoring without software hang detection | Choose only if 4.63V threshold and watchdog functionality are not required |
Compared with MAX6321HPUK46CY+T, MAX6321HPUK46CT+T offers identical supervision capability with standard packaging logistics, while TPS3808G33DBVR provides a lower-cost alternative lacking watchdog and manual reset - making it unsuitable for safety-critical or field-serviceable designs requiring those features.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6321HPUK46CY+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6321HPUK46CY+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, specified as ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This tolerance ensures robust brownout detection without false triggering during normal supply ripple or temperature drift, and is laser-trimmed during manufacturing for consistency across production lots.
Does MAX6321HPUK46CY+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin, and what value is recommended?
Yes, MAX6321HPUK46CY+T requires an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin because it features an open-drain output. A 10kΩ resistor pulled to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) is sufficient in most applications - it ensures valid logic-high levels while limiting sink current to ≤0.33mA at 3.3V or ≤0.5mA at 5V, well within the device's 3.2mA sink capability at VCC ≥ 4.5V.
Can MAX6321HPUK46CY+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 2.0V, and what is the minimum functional supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6321HPUK46CY+T is guaranteed to assert a valid reset signal down to VCC = 1.0V, as confirmed in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This allows it to detect deep brownout conditions in Li-ion battery systems where voltage may sag to 2.5V or lower during peak load, ensuring the microcontroller enters reset before entering undefined operational states.
How does the watchdog function behave if the WDI pin is left unconnected on MAX6321HPUK46CY+T?
When WDI is left unconnected on MAX6321HPUK46CY+T, the internal watchdog timer is automatically serviced at intervals equal to 7/8 of the nominal watchdog timeout period (i.e., ~1.4s for the 1.6s version), preventing unintended reset assertion. This allows the watchdog feature to be safely disabled without adding external circuitry, while maintaining full reset supervision functionality for power-related faults.
Is MAX6321HPUK46CY+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6316–MAX6322 family, and which variants share the same pinout?
Yes, MAX6321HPUK46CY+T shares the identical 5-pin SOT23 pinout with all members of the MAX6316–MAX6322 family, including MAX6320P and MAX6322HP. Pin 1 is RESET (open-drain), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR, Pin 4 is WDI, and Pin 5 is VCC - enabling direct substitution within the same reset-output configuration group, provided threshold, timeout, and feature requirements align.
