Product details
Overview
MAX6342SUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-6 package, featuring a factory-trimmed 2.93V VCC reset threshold, active-low push-pull RESET output, and manual-reset (MR) input. It monitors supply voltage down to +1V, guarantees ≥100ms reset pulse width, and includes a dedicated +1.25V power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) for low-battery or auxiliary rail monitoring in portable and multivoltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6342SUT+T datasheet, MAX6342SUT+T pinout, MAX6342SUT+T application, or MAX6342SUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.93V reset threshold tolerance (±25mV over -40°C to +125°C), guaranteed RESET validity at VCC = +1V, debounced MR input with <1µs glitch rejection, and integrated PFO comparator independent of reset assertion timing.
Technical Context
The MAX6342SUT+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset generator with hysteresis, asserting RESET when VCC falls below 2.93V and holding it active for ≥100ms after VCC rises above threshold or MR transitions high. Its PFI input connects to an internal +1.25V reference, enabling accurate power-fail detection via external resistor dividers.
It operates across full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) with supply current as low as 1.2µA at VCC = 1V and 30µA at VCC = 5.5V, supporting battery-powered designs requiring ultra-low quiescent power and robust brownout immunity without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±25mV (–40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable reset initiation during 3.3V system brownout |
| RESET Pulse Width | 100ms min; provides sufficient time for µP initialization before release | Supply Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V; enables operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V rails |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull; drives logic-low directly without pull-up resistor, reducing BOM count |
| PFI Threshold | +1.25V ±100mV; supports accurate power-fail warning or secondary supply monitoring via resistor divider |
| MR Input Compatibility | CMOS-compatible with 0.3×VCC/0.7×VCC thresholds; allows direct connection to pushbutton or µP GPIO |

Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23-6, 1.6mm × 2.9mm × 1.1mm body, surface-mount, lead-free (RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Positive supply input | Accepts +1.0V to +5.5V; powers internal comparators and reset generator |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail input | Compares external voltage against internal +1.25V reference; asserts PFO when input <1.25V |
| 4 - PFO | Power-fail output | Open-drain output active-low; signals early power degradation or low-battery condition |
| 5 - MR | Manual-reset input | CMOS-compatible active-low trigger; debounced internally to reject <1µs glitches |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6343SUT+T | Same 2.93V threshold and PFI/PFO, but open-drain RESET output | Requires external pull-up resistor; suited for wired-OR reset buses or level-shifting | Select when interfacing with multiple devices sharing one reset line or needing voltage-level flexibility |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | 2.93V threshold, but only push-pull active-low RESET; no PFI/PFO comparator | Lacks dedicated power-fail warning capability; requires external circuitry for secondary rail monitoring | Select when power-fail functionality is unnecessary and lowest BOM cost is prioritized |
Compared with MAX6343SUT+T, the MAX6342SUT+T eliminates external pull-up components and simplifies layout; compared with TPS3808G30DBVR, it integrates PFI/PFO for dual-supply monitoring-reducing total component count by one IC in multirail systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6342SUT+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6342SUT+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with a maximum deviation of ±25mV over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This specification is guaranteed in production testing and ensures consistent brownout detection across extreme environmental conditions without requiring system-level calibration. The 2.93V threshold aligns precisely with common 3.3V rail minimum operating voltages.
Does the MAX6342SUT+T provide valid reset output when VCC drops below 2.0V?
Yes-the MAX6342SUT+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.0V, meaning the active-low RESET signal remains logically asserted and electrically compliant (VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 100µA) even as supply voltage collapses. This ensures deterministic µP behavior during deep brownout events, unlike many supervisors that lose reset integrity below 2.0V.
Can the PFI input of the MAX6342SUT+T be used to monitor a 5V supply for early power-fail warning?
Yes-the PFI input compares against an internal +1.25V reference, so a resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 301kΩ, R2 = 100kΩ) scales the 5V rail to ~1.25V at PFI. When the 5V supply drops to ~4.75V, PFI falls below 1.25V and PFO asserts, providing >100ms warning before VCC crosses the 2.93V reset threshold. This enables orderly shutdown in systems with regulated outputs.
How does the manual-reset (MR) input of the MAX6342SUT+T behave during power-up?
The MR input is fully functional at power-up: if MR is held low during VCC ramp, RESET remains asserted regardless of VCC level. Once VCC exceeds 2.93V, releasing MR high initiates the 100ms reset timeout period before RESET deasserts. The input is debounced internally to reject glitches <1µs, eliminating need for external filtering-even when driven directly by a mechanical switch.
Is the MAX6342SUT+T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6342–MAX6345 family?
No-while all MAX6342–MAX6345 devices share the same SOT23-6 package and pinout, the MAX6342SUT+T has a unique function mapping: Pin 6 is active-low push-pull RESET, whereas MAX6343SUT+T uses Pin 6 for open-drain RESET and MAX6344SUT+T uses it for active-high push-pull RESET. Swapping parts without verifying reset polarity and drive strength risks system malfunction.
