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 guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, immunity to short negative VCC transients (<4µs at 100mV under threshold), open-drain output compatible with mixed-voltage reset buses up to 6V, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-adjacent industrial use.
Technical Context
The MAX6321HPUK46CY-T implements a precision voltage monitor using a factory-laser-trimmed resistor divider to set VRST = 4.63V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C, with 3mV hysteresis. Its reset generator asserts RESET low when VCC falls below VRST and holds it active for ≥140ms after VCC rises above VRST.
It integrates a watchdog timer cleared by rising or falling edges on WDI (pulse width ≥50ns); timeout is factory-set to 1.6s (Y-grade). The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥2.7V while maintaining VOL ≤0.3V - enabling direct interface with 3.3V/5V µP reset inputs and multi-supply 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 for 5V nominal rails |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum; guarantees µP initialization completes before code execution resumes |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical; balances fault detection speed against false triggers in deterministic firmware loops |
| Supply Current | 5–12µA at VCC = 3.6V; enables battery-powered operation for >10 years with coin-cell sources |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain; supports level-shifting, wired-OR reset buses, and pullup to any supply ≤6V |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment deployment |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; maintains valid reset assertion even during deep brownout recovery |
Pinout & Package
MAX6321HPUK46CY-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/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low open-drain output | Sinks current only; requires external pullup to define logic-high level; compatible with 3.3V/5V/6V reset buses |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal monitoring circuitry and output stage; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Pull low to force reset; internally pulled up to VCC via 52kΩ; rejects 100ns glitches |
| 4 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-triggered; clears watchdog timer on rising/falling transitions; disable by leaving floating |
| 5 - VCC | Supply input | Monitored voltage rail; reset asserted when VCC < 4.63V; operates down to 1.0V |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6321HPUK46CY+T | Lead-free variant (RoHS-compliant); identical electrical specs and timing | No functional difference; selected when lead-free assembly is mandated | Choose for new designs requiring Pb-free compliance; same footprint and thermal performance |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold; 200ms reset timeout; no watchdog; SOT23-5 | Lacks watchdog supervision and manual reset; suited for simpler power-monitoring-only use cases | Select when only basic VCC monitoring is needed and 3.3V threshold aligns with system rail |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6321HPUK46CY-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6321HPUK46CY-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, specified as 4.514V to 4.746V over –40°C to +125°C (±2.5%). Its temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, resulting in <±15mV drift across the full range - sufficient for stable operation on 5V rails with 5% tolerance.
Does MAX6321HPUK46CY-T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, MAX6321HPUK46CY-T features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor. A 10kΩ resistor to 3.3V or 5V is typical; value must ensure logic-high recognition while supplying all connected input leakage currents - verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOL and ILKG parameters.
Can MAX6321HPUK46CY-T be used in automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6321HPUK46CY-T is AEC-Q100 qualified and rated for –40°C to +125°C operation. Its 4.63V threshold, 140ms reset timeout, and immunity to short VCC transients make it suitable for body control modules, infotainment power sequencing, and sensor nodes where robust reset behavior is mandatory.
What is the watchdog timeout period of MAX6321HPUK46CY-T and how is it triggered?
The MAX6321HPUK46CY-T has a typical watchdog timeout of 1.6s (Y-grade). It is triggered when the WDI pin remains static (high or low) for the full timeout duration. The timer clears on any edge (rising or falling) and also resets automatically during active RESET assertion.
How does the manual reset (MR) input function on MAX6321HPUK46CY-T?
The MR input on MAX6321HPUK46CY-T is active-low with internal 52kΩ pullup to VCC. Pulling MR low forces RESET assertion for the full 140ms timeout period after MR returns high. It rejects 100ns noise pulses and supports direct connection to momentary switches or logic outputs without debouncing.
