Product details
Overview
The MAX6359MSUT+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push-pull reset referenced to VCC1, 4.38V/2.93V factory-set thresholds, watchdog timer (46.4s startup / 2.9s normal timeout), and guaranteed operation down to VCC1 = 1.0V or VCC2 = 1.0V - used in multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and processor activity monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6359MSUT+ datasheet, MAX6359MSUT+ pinout, MAX6359MSUT+ application, or MAX6359MSUT+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply threshold accuracy (±1.5% over temperature), 20µA quiescent current, 100ms min reset pulse width, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with manual-reset and watchdog input timing constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX6359MSUT+ implements a dual-threshold voltage monitor with independent VCC1 and VCC2 inputs, asserting reset if either supply drops below its preset trip point (4.38V and 2.93V respectively). Its reset output is push-pull, referenced to VCC1, and remains valid as long as either supply exceeds +1.0V.
It integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer: 46.4s startup timeout enables full system initialization after power-up or manual reset, followed by 2.9s normal timeout for continuous processor activity verification. The WDI input accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible transitions and clears the timer on any edge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.38V ±1.5% (−40°C to +85°C); precise detection of +4.38V rail undervoltage |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.93V ±1.5% (−40°C to +85°C); precise detection of +2.93V rail undervoltage |
| Supply Current | 20µA typical at +25°C; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100ms minimum; ensures reliable μP initialization across all operating conditions |
| Watchdog Timeout | 46.4s startup / 2.9s normal; accommodates boot sequences then enforces rapid fault response |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull referenced to VCC1; eliminates external pull-up and supports direct μP reset pin drive |
Pinout & Package
MAX6359MSUT+ is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (U6-1 outline, 90-0175 land pattern), RoHS-compliant with lead-free termination (+ suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives μP reset pin directly without pull-up |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparators, watchdog, and reset generator |
| 3 | MR | Debounced manual-reset input; low assertion forces reset for timeout period plus hold time |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input; powers device when above VCC1 and monitored at 2.93V threshold |
| 5 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edges clear timer; unconnected disables watchdog function |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input; powers device when above VCC2 and monitored at 4.38V threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous precision supervision of two rails (e.g., +4.38V core and +2.93V I/O) with no external components |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to 1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion even during deep brownout of either supply, critical for safe shutdown |
| Debounced manual-reset input | Rejects sub-100ns noise pulses and provides clean reset initiation without external RC filtering |
| Startup + normal watchdog modes | 46.4s initial window avoids false timeout during boot; 2.9s runtime window detects hung processors rapidly |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Withstands >100µs transients up to 1.0V overdrive without spurious reset, per Typical Operating Characteristics |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Battery-Powered IoT Sensors |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Programmable logic controllers operating from dual-rail supplies (+5V logic, +3.3V I/O) in harsh factory environments with voltage sags and EMI. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-voltage supervisor providing synchronized reset and watchdog supervision of ARM Cortex-M7 host processor. Use Value: Prevents erratic controller behavior during rail collapse; 46.4s watchdog startup allows full FPGA configuration before runtime monitoring begins. |

Use Value: Push-pull RST output drives multiple reset domains simultaneously; 100ms min pulse guarantees proper ADC and FPGA initialization. |
Use Scenario: Edge gateways integrating Ethernet PHY, Wi-Fi SoC, and MCU on distinct voltage domains with strict boot sequencing requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System-level supervisor coordinating power-good sequencing and detecting firmware hangs via WDI interface. Use Value: Dual-threshold architecture validates both primary and auxiliary rails before releasing reset; watchdog timeout matches SoC bootloader execution window. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6359MTUT+ | VCC1 threshold = 4.38V, VCC2 threshold = 3.08V (vs. 2.93V); same package, watchdog, and pinout | Suitable where secondary rail is +3.08V (e.g., legacy 3.3V LDO with tighter tolerance) | Select MAX6359MTUT+ only if system uses 3.08V VCC2; otherwise MAX6359MSUT+ matches 2.93V rails like LP3985-based supplies. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V threshold only); no VCC2 input or dual-rail monitoring capability | Limited to single-rail systems; lacks watchdog timer and manual reset debounce | Use only in cost-sensitive single-rail designs without watchdog requirement; not a functional substitute for dual-monitoring use cases. |
Compared with MAX6359MTUT+, the MAX6359MSUT+ provides tighter matching to 2.93V rails common in modern low-voltage I/O domains; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers essential dual-supply coordination and watchdog safety features absent in single-rail alternatives.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6359MSUT+?
The MAX6359MSUT+ has factory-set thresholds of 4.38V for VCC1 and 2.93V for VCC2, each with ±1.5% tolerance over −40°C to +85°C. These values are confirmed in the Voltage Threshold Levels table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet, and apply specifically to the "MS" suffix variant of the MAX6359MSUT+.
Does the MAX6359MSUT+ provide a watchdog timer, and what are its timeout periods?
Yes, the MAX6359MSUT+ includes a dual-mode watchdog timer with a 46.4s startup timeout period (for system initialization after power-up or manual reset) and a 2.9s normal timeout period (for runtime processor activity monitoring). These values are specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Watchdog Timeout Period" for the MAX6359MSUT+.
What package type and pin count does the MAX6359MSUT+ use?
The MAX6359MSUT+ uses a 6-pin SOT23 package (U6-1 outline, land pattern 90-0175), with RoHS-compliant lead-free termination indicated by the "+" suffix. Pin configuration is fixed: Pin 1 = RST, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = MR, Pin 4 = VCC2, Pin 5 = WDI, Pin 6 = VCC1 - verified in the Pin Configurations section of the datasheet.
Is the reset output of the MAX6359MSUT+ push-pull or open-drain?
The MAX6359MSUT+ features an active-low push-pull reset output (RST) referenced to VCC1, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Pin Description sections. This eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor and allows direct driving of microprocessor reset pins, distinguishing it from open-drain variants like MAX6352 or MAX6355.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for the MAX6359MSUT+ to guarantee valid reset output?
The MAX6359MSUT+ guarantees valid reset output as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Detailed Description sections.
