Product details
Overview
MAX6356TWUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push-pull reset referenced to VCC1, 3.08V VCC1 threshold, 1.67V VCC2 threshold, and adjustable RSTIN input for monitoring a third voltage at 1.22V. It operates over -40°C to +85°C in a 6-pin SOT23 package and is used in multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-up sequencing and fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6356TWUT+T datasheet, MAX6356TWUT+T pinout, MAX6356TWUT+T application, or MAX6356TWUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply monitoring with independent thresholds, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC1 = 1V or VCC2 = 1V, 100ms min reset timeout, 20µA supply current, and RSTIN-based third-voltage supervision capability.
Technical Context
The MAX6356TWUT+T monitors three voltage rails: VCC1 (3.08V threshold), VCC2 (1.67V threshold), and an external rail via RSTIN (1.22V comparator input). Reset assertion occurs if any monitored voltage falls below its trip point, and the active-low push-pull RST output remains valid as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1V or VCC2 ≥ 1V.
It features factory-trimmed precision thresholds (±1.5% typical over temperature), 20ppm/°C tempco, and 100ms–280ms reset timeout period. The RSTIN input supports external resistive divider configuration for custom third-rail thresholds while drawing only ±25nA input current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 3.08V ±1.5% (TA = -40°C to +85°C); ensures precise reset initiation on primary supply rail |
| VCC2 Threshold | 1.67V ±1.5% (TA = -40°C to +85°C); enables supervision of low-voltage auxiliary or I/O rails |
| RSTIN Threshold | 1.22V ±0.03V (TA = -40°C to +85°C); allows accurate third-rail monitoring via external resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 100ms–280ms; guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power-up or fault recovery |
| Supply Current | 20µA typical (VCC1 = 5.5V, VCC2 = 3.6V); minimizes quiescent load in battery-powered systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull referenced to VCC1; eliminates need for external pull-up and ensures fast, rail-to-rail drive |
Pinout & Package
MAX6356TWUT+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (U6-1 outline, land pattern 90-0175), with 0.95mm pitch and 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint. The package supports reflow soldering and is rated for operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives low during fault or manual reset, high otherwise |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparators, watchdog, and reset generator |
| 3 | MR | Debounced manual-reset input; asserted low forces reset regardless of supply status |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input and monitored rail; powers device when > VCC1 and triggers reset if < 1.67V |
| 5 | RSTIN | Adjustable undervoltage-comparator input; asserts reset when external rail falls below 1.22V (or scaled value) |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input and monitored rail; powers device when > VCC2 and triggers reset if < 3.08V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6355TWUT+T | Open-drain RST output instead of push-pull; identical VCC1/VCC2 thresholds and RSTIN specs | Requires external pull-up resistor; suitable where level-shifting or wired-OR reset buses are needed | Select MAX6355TWUT+T only if system architecture mandates open-drain reset signaling or shared reset bus topology. |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | Dual-voltage supervision only (no RSTIN); 3.0V VDD threshold, 1.22V adjustability via external resistor; 350nA IQ | Lacks third-rail monitoring capability; optimized for ultra-low-power single-supply systems | Choose TPS3808G30DBVR only when third-voltage supervision is unnecessary and sub-1µA quiescent current is mandatory. |
Compared with MAX6356TWUT+T, MAX6355TWUT+T trades push-pull drive for open-drain flexibility but adds board-level component count, while TPS3808G30DBVR reduces power consumption significantly but removes the critical RSTIN-based third-rail supervision required in multivoltage SoC/FPGA systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6356TWUT+T?
The MAX6356TWUT+T has a VCC1 threshold of 3.08V (±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C) and a VCC2 threshold of 1.67V (±1.5% over the same range). These values are factory-trimmed and specified in the Voltage Threshold Levels table of the datasheet; the "TW" suffix directly encodes these thresholds.
Does the MAX6356TWUT+T provide watchdog timer functionality?
No, the MAX6356TWUT+T does not include a watchdog timer. Watchdog capability is exclusive to the MAX6358/MAX6359/MAX6360 variants. The MAX6356TWUT+T belongs to the MAX6355/MAX6356/MAX6357 subgroup, which adds RSTIN-based third-voltage supervision but omits WDI functionality.
How is the third voltage monitored using the RSTIN pin on the MAX6356TWUT+T?
The RSTIN pin on the MAX6356TWUT+T contains an internal 1.22V comparator. To monitor a higher voltage (e.g., 5V or 3.3V), connect an external resistive divider between the target rail and RSTIN so that the divided voltage equals 1.22V at the trip point. The MAX6356TWUT+T datasheet provides the exact formula: VEXT = 1.22V × (R1 + R2)/R2.
What is the reset output type and drive capability of the MAX6356TWUT+T?
The MAX6356TWUT+T features an active-low push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1. It sinks 1.2mA at VCC1 ≥ 2.7V (VOL ≤ 0.3V) and sources 350µA at VCC1 > VTH1(MAX) (VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC1). This eliminates the need for external pull-up resistors and ensures fast, rail-to-rail reset signaling.
Is the MAX6356TWUT+T compatible with lead-free PCB assembly processes?
Yes, the MAX6356TWUT+T is RoHS-compliant and qualified for lead-free reflow soldering. The "+T" suffix explicitly denotes lead(Pb)-free packaging per Maxim Integrated's ordering nomenclature, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 specifications.
