Product details
Overview
MAX6345ZUT from Maxim Integrated is a precision 6-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with dual reset outputs (active-high push-pull RESET and active-low push-pull RESET), factory-trimmed 2.33V VCC reset threshold, +1.25V power-fail comparator input (PFI), and guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = +1V. It monitors supply integrity in battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-up sequencing and early power-fail warning.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6345ZUT datasheet, MAX6345ZUT pinout, MAX6345ZUT application, or MAX6345ZUT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual active push-pull reset outputs, 2.33V reset threshold tolerance (±25mV over -40°C to +125°C), 100ms minimum reset timeout, PFI/PFO monitoring capability, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6345ZUT integrates two independent reset generators: one asserting RESET high upon VCC rise above 2.33V or MR deassertion, and another asserting RESET low under identical conditions - both with 100–280ms timeout. Its internal +1.25V reference enables precise PFI-based voltage monitoring for power-fail or low-battery detection independent of the main reset function.
It operates across full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) with supply voltage from +1.0V to +5.5V, guarantees valid logic-level reset outputs down to VCC = +1V, and features debounced CMOS-compatible MR input with 1µs minimum pulse width and 0.1µs glitch rejection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.33V ±25mV (–40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable reset assertion during brownout at ultra-low supply voltages |
| Reset Timeout Period | 100ms min / 280ms max; provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization before release |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V; supports operation down to near-dead-battery conditions while maintaining valid reset output |
| PFI Threshold | +1.25V ±100mV; enables accurate power-fail or secondary supply monitoring via external resistor divider |
| Output Drive | RESET: VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC @ 50µA sink; RESET: VOL ≤ 0.4V @ 1.2mA sink; ensures robust interfacing with diverse µP reset inputs |
| MR Input Logic | VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC, VIL ≤ 0.3×VCC; compatible with standard CMOS logic and pushbutton interfaces without level-shifting |
| Quiescent Current | 25µA typ @ VCC = 3V; minimizes standby power in battery-critical applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6345ZUT is housed in a miniature 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and space-constrained systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Main supply input | Accepts +1.0V to +5.5V; powers internal comparators, reference, and output drivers |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and external PFI/PFO connections |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail monitor input | Compares external voltage (via divider) against +1.25V reference; asserts PFO low when below threshold |
| 4 - PFO | Power-fail output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating PFI < 1.25V; used for µP interrupt or system shutdown prep |
| 5 - RESET | Active-high push-pull reset | Drives high for ≥100ms after VCC > 2.33V or MR release; directly drives µP reset pins requiring active-high assertion |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset | Drives low for ≥100ms after VCC > 2.33V or MR release; compatible with standard µP active-low reset inputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6345ZUT and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6345ZUT has a factory-trimmed nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.33V, with a maximum deviation of ±25mV over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This specification is guaranteed in production test and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet. The 'Z' suffix explicitly denotes this 2.33V variant, and the MAX6345ZUT maintains this threshold stability without external calibration.
Does the MAX6345ZUT provide both active-high and active-low reset outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX6345ZUT provides two independent, simultaneous reset outputs: pin 5 (RESET) is an active-high push-pull output, and pin 6 (RESET) is an active-low push-pull output. Both assert for a minimum of 100ms after VCC rises above 2.33V or after the MR input transitions from low to high. This dual-output architecture eliminates the need for external inverters or level shifters in systems requiring both reset polarities, and is a defining functional difference between MAX6345ZUT and other members of the MAX6342–MAX6345 family.
Can the MAX6345ZUT monitor a secondary voltage such as +1.8V or battery voltage?
Yes, the MAX6345ZUT can monitor secondary voltages using its PFI (pin 3) and PFO (pin 4) terminals. By connecting a resistor divider from the target voltage to PFI, the device compares that divided voltage against its internal +1.25V reference. For example, to monitor +1.8V, a divider ratio yielding 1.25V at PFI when the input is 1.8V will cause PFO to go low when the monitored voltage drops below ~1.8V. This function operates independently of the main reset generator, allowing concurrent power-fail warning and reset control in the MAX6345ZUT.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6345ZUT guarantees valid reset output levels?
The MAX6345ZUT guarantees valid logic-level reset outputs down to VCC = +1.0V. Specifically, RESET (pin 5) maintains VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC when sourcing 50µA, and RESET (pin 6) maintains VOL ≤ 0.4V when sinking 1.2mA - both specifications holding true at VCC = +1.0V. This capability ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout or end-of-battery conditions, a critical feature confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections of the MAX6345ZUT datasheet.
Is the MR (manual reset) input on the MAX6345ZUT debounced, and what are its electrical characteristics?
Yes, the MR input (pin 5 on MAX6342/MAX6343/MAX6344, not present on MAX6345ZUT) is debounced internally - however, the MAX6345ZUT does not include an MR input. Per the Pin Description and Selector Guide, MAX6345 replaces the MR pin with the second reset output (RESET). Therefore, the MAX6345ZUT has no MR terminal; its reset initiation relies solely on VCC monitoring and PFI-triggered PFO-to-MR feedback (if externally wired). This structural difference is fundamental to the MAX6345ZUT's dual-reset architecture and must be accounted for in schematic design.
