Product details
Overview
The MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low open-drain reset output, 5.0V factory-trimmed reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1.12s minimum reset timeout, and 25.6s typical watchdog timeout. It monitors VCC supply integrity, provides manual reset input, and supports brownout detection in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ datasheet, MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ pinout, MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ application, or MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain RESET output compatible with mixed-voltage systems up to 6V, guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V, AEC-Q100 qualification, and immunity to short negative VCC transients.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the MAX6316–MAX6322 family and implements a voltage-monitoring architecture with factory-trimmed precision resistive divider for reset threshold setting. Its watchdog timer clears on any WDI edge (rising or falling) and asserts reset if un-serviced for 25.6s - the longest timeout option in the family.
The MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ features an open-drain RESET output requiring an external pullup resistor (e.g., 10kΩ), supports manual reset via MR pin with internal 52kΩ pullup, and guarantees valid reset assertion even as VCC drops to 1V - critical for low-power brownout recovery in battery-powered equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 5.0V nominal (4.875V to 5.125V over -40°C to +125°C); enables precise power-fail detection for 5V logic rails. |
| Reset Timeout | 1.12s minimum (MAX63__D_-T variant); ensures stable processor initialization after power-up or brownout recovery. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 25.6s typical (MAX63__Z-T variant); provides long-duration software execution monitoring without excessive CPU intervention. |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at VCC = 3.6V; enables ultra-low-power operation in portable/battery-powered systems. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for automotive and industrial environments per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| Package | SOT23-5 (U5+ package code); 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint saves board space in compact designs. |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; guarantees functional reset assertion down to 1V, supporting deep brownout detection. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (U5+ code), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, thermal resistance θJA = 255.9°C/W (multi-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output; requires external pullup to any voltage ≤6V; sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥2.7V. |
| 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; resets internal timer on rising or falling edge; disabled when left floating or three-stated. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply input; reset asserted when VCC falls below 5.0V threshold; operates down to 1.0V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Open-drain RESET output | Supports level-shifting across multiple supply domains (e.g., 3.3V µP with 5V pullup) and wired-OR reset bus configurations. |
| No external components required | Integrates precision voltage reference, watchdog timer, manual reset logic, and ESD protection - eliminates discrete BOM items. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and ADAS subsystems operating at -40°C to +125°C. |
| Immunity to VCC glitches | Rejects negative transients <4µs duration and >100mV amplitude below VRST - prevents spurious resets during switching noise. |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic system behavior during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors fail silently. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6321HPUK46DZ+ | 4.63V reset threshold (vs. 5.0V); identical pinout, timeout, and watchdog specs. | Suitable for 4.5V nominal rails or tighter tolerance margins around 4.63V. | Select when system VCC nominal is 4.5V rather than 5.0V; same layout and firmware integration. |
| TPS3808G50DBVR | TI part with 5.0V threshold, 200ms reset timeout (not 1.12s), push/pull output (not open-drain). | Lacks open-drain flexibility and long reset timeout; requires PCB redesign for pullup removal. | Use only if shorter reset delay is acceptable and level-shifting is unnecessary; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with MAX6321HPUK46DZ+, the 5.0V variant offers higher reset margin for 5V systems; compared with TPS3808G50DBVR, it provides open-drain compatibility and longer reset hold time essential for complex boot sequences.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage tolerance of the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ over temperature?
The MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ has a factory-trimmed 5.0V nominal reset threshold with ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. At +25°C, the tolerance tightens to ±1.5%, ensuring precise power-fail detection for 5V logic rails across automotive and industrial environments where the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ is commonly deployed.
Does the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor to a supply voltage up to 6V. A 10kΩ resistor is sufficient in most applications. This design enables level-shifting and wired-OR reset bus configurations - a key differentiator of the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ versus push/pull alternatives.
Can the watchdog function of the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ be disabled without hardware modification?
Yes, the watchdog function of the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected or driving it with a three-stated output. When floating, the internal watchdog timer is serviced automatically at intervals equal to 7/8 of the 25.6s timeout period - eliminating spurious resets while maintaining full MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ functionality for reset supervision only.
Is the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1, -40°C to +125°C) and specified for automotive use. Its guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V, immunity to short VCC transients, and robust MR input make it suitable for body control modules, infotainment power management, and ADAS subsystems where the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ ensures reliable fault recovery.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ guarantees valid reset assertion?
The MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V - a critical specification for deep brownout recovery in battery-powered systems. Below this voltage, the internal circuitry may no longer drive the open-drain RESET line, but the MAX6321HPUK50DZ+ remains functional through the entire 1.0V–5.5V operating range specified in its absolute maximum ratings.
