Product details
Overview
MAX6342TUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-6 package, featuring factory-trimmed 3.08V VCC reset threshold, active-low push-pull RESET output, and debounced manual-reset (MR) input. It monitors supply voltage integrity and provides power-fail warning via PFI/PFO comparator, ensuring reliable reset assertion during power-up, brownout, or low-battery conditions in portable and multivoltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6342TUT+T datasheet, MAX6342TUT+T pinout, MAX6342TUT+T application, or MAX6342TUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1V, 100ms minimum reset timeout, ±25mV reset threshold accuracy over temperature, and compatibility with battery-powered telecom and embedded control designs requiring robust power monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX6342TUT+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset generator with a fixed 3.08V VCC threshold (±25mV over –40°C to +125°C), and integrates a separate +1.25V reference for the PFI comparator. Its MR input is CMOS-compatible with 0.3×VCC/0.7×VCC logic thresholds and 1µs glitch rejection.
RESET asserts low for ≥100ms after VCC rises above threshold or MR transitions high, with guaranteed valid logic levels down to VCC = +1V. The push-pull output drives up to 1.2mA sink at VCC > 2.7V and sources 50µA at 0.8×VCC, enabling direct interface to µP reset inputs without external pull-ups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±25mV (–40°C to +125°C); ensures deterministic reset release point across industrial temperature range |
| Reset Timeout Period | 100ms min (tRP); guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization before release |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V; supports operation during deep brownout and enables use with 1.2V–5V system rails |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull; eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and ensures fast, rail-to-rail logic levels |
| PFI Comparator Threshold | +1.25V ±100mV; enables accurate power-fail or low-battery detection when monitoring auxiliary supplies |
| MR Input Compatibility | CMOS logic (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC); allows direct connection to pushbutton or GPIO without level-shifting |
| Quiescent Current | 1.2µA typical at VCC = 3V; minimizes battery drain in always-on supervision applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6342TUT+T is housed in a lead-free 6-pin SOT23-6 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOT-23 layouts and suitable for high-density PCB designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Positive supply input | Accepts +1.0V to +5.5V; powers internal comparators, reset generator, and output driver |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance for stable threshold accuracy |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors auxiliary voltage via resistor divider; asserts PFO low when input falls below +1.25V |
| 4 - PFO | Power-fail output | Open-drain active-low signal; used for early-warning interrupt or secondary reset triggering |
| 5 - MR | Manual-reset input | CMOS-compatible active-low trigger; debounced internally; forces reset when pulled low |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; asserts low for ≥100ms after VCC rise or MR release; valid to VCC = +1V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision factory-set reset threshold | 3.08V trimmed at wafer level with ±25mV max deviation over –40°C to +125°C, eliminating external resistor calibration |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = +1V | Ensures clean, logic-valid reset signal even during severe brownout-critical for fail-safe µP recovery |
| Dedicated power-fail comparator | +1.25V reference with independent PFI/PFO pins enables dual-supply monitoring without additional ICs |
| Debounced manual-reset input | 1µs internal glitch rejection on MR pin allows direct pushbutton connection without RC filtering or firmware debounce |
| Low quiescent current | 1.2µA typical at 3V enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment with continuous supervision |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6343TUT+T | Same 3.08V threshold and package, but features open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull | Requires external pull-up resistor; suited for wired-OR reset buses or mixed-voltage systems where RESET must interface to multiple supply domains | Select when system-level reset bus architecture mandates open-drain topology or level translation |
| TLV809K31DBVR | 3.08V threshold, SOT23-3 package, no PFI/PFO or MR; only VCC monitoring and active-low reset | Lacks power-fail warning and manual reset functionality; lower pin count but no auxiliary monitoring capability | Choose when only basic VCC supervision is required and board space is constrained; not suitable for dual-supply or button-triggered reset needs |
Compared with MAX6342TUT+T, MAX6343TUT+T trades push-pull drive for open-drain flexibility at the cost of added BOM components, while TLV809K31DBVR reduces size and cost by omitting PFI, PFO, and MR-making it viable only for single-rail, no-button applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6342TUT+T?
The MAX6342TUT+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 3.08V, with a maximum deviation of ±25mV over the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value is laser-trimmed during production and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet. The "T" suffix in MAX6342TUT+T explicitly denotes the 3.08V variant per Maxim's Selector Guide 2.
Does the MAX6342TUT+T provide power-fail detection capability?
Yes, the MAX6342TUT+T includes a dedicated power-fail comparator with a +1.25V internal reference. The PFI pin accepts an external voltage (e.g., from a resistor divider), and when that voltage drops below +1.25V, the PFO pin asserts low. This enables early-warning detection for power failure, low-battery conditions, or secondary supply monitoring-functionality confirmed in the Functional Diagram and Applications Information sections of the datasheet.
Can the MAX6342TUT+T operate reliably during deep brownout conditions?
Yes, the MAX6342TUT+T is guaranteed to assert a valid logic-level RESET signal down to VCC = +1.0V, as stated in both the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This ensures deterministic reset behavior even during severe supply sags, making it suitable for automotive cranking or battery-depleted scenarios where other supervisors may fail to maintain output integrity.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6342TUT+T?
The MR (Manual-Reset) pin on the MAX6342TUT+T is an active-low, CMOS-compatible input that forces a reset when pulled low. It features internal 1µs glitch rejection and debouncing, allowing direct connection to a pushbutton switch without external RC filtering. When MR is low, RESET remains asserted; upon MR release, RESET stays low for the full 100ms timeout period, ensuring µP reset completion.
Is the MAX6342TUT+T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6342–MAX6345 family?
Yes, all MAX6342–MAX6345 variants-including MAX6342TUT+T-are packaged in identical 6-pin SOT23-6 housings with identical pinouts (VCC, GND, PFI, PFO, MR, RESET). However, functional differences exist: MAX6342TUT+T provides active-low push-pull RESET and MR, whereas MAX6343TUT+T substitutes open-drain RESET, and MAX6344TUT+T offers active-high push-pull RESET. Pin compatibility enables layout reuse, but logic polarity and drive strength must be verified per design.
