Product details
Overview
MAX6343ZUT from Maxim Integrated is a precision 6-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-trimmed 2.33V VCC reset threshold, active-low open-drain RESET output, and integrated +1.25V power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO). It operates from +1V to +5.5V supply, guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = +1V, and delivers ≥100ms reset pulse width-designed for reliable power-up sequencing in battery-powered embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6343ZUT datasheet, MAX6343ZUT pinout, MAX6343ZUT application, or MAX6343ZUT equivalent, this device is selected for low-voltage brownout detection, manual-reset–enabled system recovery, and dual-supply monitoring where open-drain reset flexibility and guaranteed sub-2.5V threshold accuracy are critical.
Technical Context
The MAX6343ZUT implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±25mV (±1.1%) threshold tolerance over –40°C to +125°C, paired with a dedicated +1.25V reference for PFI input. Its open-drain RESET output supports level-shifting across multiple supply domains up to +5.5V via external pull-up.
It features debounced CMOS-compatible MR input with 1µs minimum pulse width rejection, 0.1µs MR glitch immunity, and PFI-to-PFO delay of ≤3µs-enabling fast power-fail warning for orderly shutdown in telecom and portable equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.33V ±25mV (±1.1%) - factory-trimmed for accurate brownout detection at ultra-low voltage rails |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - enables operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V logic domains |
| RESET Pulse Width | 100ms min - ensures µP reset assertion meets ARM/Intel/MIPS boot initialization timing requirements |
| PFI Threshold | +1.25V ±100mV - fixed internal reference for reliable power-fail or low-battery warning generation |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration, multi-rail pull-up, and voltage-level translation |
| MR Input Compatibility | CMOS logic (VIL ≤ 0.3×VCC, VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC) - supports direct pushbutton or FPGA GPIO interface without external conditioning |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood, industrial control, and extended-range portable use |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23-6 (1.6mm × 2.9mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Positive supply input | Power rail input; supports bypass capacitor placement for transient immunity (1µF recommended) |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Analog/digital common return; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into reset comparator |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail monitor input | Connects to resistor divider for secondary supply monitoring; trips PFO when voltage falls below +1.25V |
| 4 - PFO | Power-fail output | Active-low open-drain signal; asserts when PFI < +1.25V-used for early-warning interrupt or MR triggering |
| 5 - MR | Manual-reset input | CMOS-compatible active-low input; debounced internally; forces reset on falling edge and holds for tRP |
| 6 - RESET | Reset output | Active-low open-drain output; requires external pull-up; sinks ≥100µA at VOL ≤ 0.4V (VCC > 1.2V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 2.33V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor network and calibration; reduces BOM count and layout area in space-constrained designs |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = +1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep undervoltage conditions where many supervisors fail silently |
| +1.25V precision PFI reference | Enables accurate secondary supply monitoring (e.g., battery, analog rail) without external reference IC |
| 100ms minimum reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD78 and Intel/ARM processor reset hold-time specifications without external RC timing |
| Open-drain RESET with 6V absolute max rating | Permits pull-up to higher voltage rails (e.g., 3.3V RESET line driven from 5V domain) without level translators |
Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Telecom Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6342ZUT-T | Active-low push-pull RESET (not open-drain); includes MR input; same 2.33V threshold and package | Requires single-rail reset drive; no external pull-up needed; incompatible with wired-OR or multi-supply reset buses | Select when board uses only one logic voltage and layout lacks space for pull-up resistor |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 2.63V fixed threshold; push-pull active-low RESET; 350ms default timeout; 1.5µA quiescent current | Higher threshold and longer timeout; lower IQ; no PFI/PFO function; SOT23-6 pinout differs (RESET on Pin 6 vs. Pin 5) | Select when ultra-low power dominates and power-fail warning is unnecessary; verify PCB pinout compatibility |
Compared with MAX6342ZUT-T and TPS3808G12DBVR, the MAX6343ZUT uniquely combines 2.33V precision threshold, open-drain flexibility, and integrated PFI/PFO in SOT23-6-making it optimal for dual-supply monitoring and multi-rail reset architectures where level-shifting and interrupt-driven shutdown are required.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6343ZUT?
The MAX6343ZUT has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.33V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±25mV (±1.1%) 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 under VTH for the "Z" suffix variant. The MAX6343ZUT does not require external resistors to set this threshold.
Does the MAX6343ZUT support operation below 2.0V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6343ZUT is fully specified to operate from VCC = +1.0V to +5.5V. Its reset output remains valid (logic-low or high-impedance) down to VCC = +1V, and the internal comparator continues functioning-unlike many supervisors that cease operation below 1.8V. This makes the MAX6343ZUT suitable for ultra-low-voltage battery-backed systems where other reset ICs fail to assert reliably.
How is the PFI input used in the MAX6343ZUT, and what voltage triggers PFO?
The PFI input of the MAX6343ZUT connects to an internal +1.25V reference comparator. When the voltage at PFI falls below +1.25V (±100mV), the PFO output goes low. This enables monitoring of secondary supplies-such as batteries or analog rails-using a simple resistor divider. For example, a 2.8V battery can be monitored by setting the divider ratio so PFI = 1.25V at VBAT = 2.8V, causing PFO assertion before critical discharge.
Can the MAX6343ZUT's RESET output drive a 5V logic input directly?
No-the MAX6343ZUT features an active-low open-drain RESET output, which cannot source current. To interface with a 5V logic input, an external pull-up resistor (e.g., 10kΩ) must connect RESET to the 5V rail. The MAX6343ZUT sink capability (≥100µA at VOL ≤ 0.4V) ensures clean low-level assertion, and its absolute maximum rating of +6V on RESET allows safe operation with 5V pull-ups-enabling level-shifted reset signaling without additional components.
Is the MAX6343ZUT pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6342–MAX6345 family?
Yes, all MAX6342–MAX6345 variants-including the MAX6343ZUT-share identical 6-pin SOT23-6 pinouts and footprint. Pin 1 is VCC, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is PFI, Pin 4 is PFO, Pin 5 is MR, and Pin 6 is RESET. However, functional differences exist: MAX6343ZUT uses open-drain RESET (Pin 6), whereas MAX6342ZUT uses push-pull RESET on the same pin. Swapping requires verifying reset output type compatibility in the target circuit.
