Product details
Overview
The MAX6366LKA26+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with integrated watchdog timer, battery-backup switchover, and chip-enable gating. It monitors VCC supply voltage (reset threshold 2.63 V), asserts an open-drain active-high RESET output on power failure or watchdog timeout, and switches OUT between VCC and backup battery (VBATT) to sustain CMOS RAM during brownout. Designed for portable equipment and industrial controllers requiring reliable power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6366LKA26+T datasheet, MAX6366LKA26+T pinout, MAX6366LKA26+T application, or MAX6366LKA26+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.6 s watchdog timeout, 2.63 V factory-set reset threshold, 150 ms minimum reset timeout period, 10 µA quiescent current, and SOT23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained µP systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6366LKA26+T implements a precision voltage monitor with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, a monostable watchdog timer triggered by WDI edge transitions, and a bidirectional MOSFET-based VCC/BATT switchover path with 40 mV hysteresis. Its CE IN-to-CE OUT transmission gate provides 1.5 ns propagation delay and 20–100 Ω on-resistance for real-time chip-enable signal gating during reset events.
RESET assertion logic combines three independent conditions: VCC falling below 2.63 V, WDI remaining static beyond 1.6 s, or manual reset input activation (not applicable to MAX6366). The open-drain active-high RESET output remains asserted for ≥150 ms after recovery, ensuring µP initialization stability across supply transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63 V (factory preset, ±1.5% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s (guaranteed 1.0–2.25 s range; resets µP if software hangs) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150–280 ms (ensures µP completes power-up sequence before release) |
| Quiescent Current | 10 µA (enables multi-year battery life in backup mode) |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2 V to 5.5 V (supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V µP rails) |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-high RESET (requires external pull-up; compatible with 1.2–5.5 V logic) |
| Battery Switchover | Automatic VCC-to-BATT transition when VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT − 20 mV |
Pinout & Package
MAX6366LKA26+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and industrial applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output | Asserts high during VCC undervoltage, watchdog timeout, or fault; requires external pull-up for logic-level compatibility |
| 2 - CE IN | Chip-enable input | Controls gating of CE signal to SRAM; low enables pass-through, high disables during reset to prevent write corruption |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC, BATT, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection |
| 4 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive trigger (rising/falling); resets internal timer on each transition; 100 ns minimum pulse width |
| 5 - VCC | Main supply input | Power source for supervisory logic and VCC-to-OUT path; monitored for reset generation |
| 6 - OUT | Regulated output | Sources from VCC normally; switches to BATT during brownout; delivers up to 150 mA at VCC or VBATT |
| 7 - BATT | Backup battery input | Provides hold-up power to OUT when VCC fails; accepts 2.0–5.5 V; draws <1 µA standby current |
| 8 - CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Passes CE IN signal during normal operation; held low for 12 µs after reset assertion to complete memory access |
Key Features

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects 5 V supply collapse, initiates controlled µP reset, and isolates flash memory CE line to preserve partial update state. Use Value: 2.63 V reset threshold avoids false triggers from 5 V rail ripple; 150 ms tRP ensures bootloader readiness before code execution. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6366PKA26+T | Same 2.63 V reset threshold and watchdog function, but push-pull active-high RESET output instead of open-drain | Eliminates need for external pull-up resistor; incompatible with wired-OR reset bus topologies | Select when driving single µP reset pin without shared reset lines |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 1.25 V reset threshold, no watchdog timer, 360 ms reset timeout, 2.5 µA IQ | Lacks battery switchover and CE gating; suited for basic power monitoring only | Select when watchdog and memory protection are unnecessary and lower threshold is required |
Compared with MAX6366PKA26+T, the MAX6366LKA26+T offers open-drain flexibility for multi-device reset buses, while TPS3808G125DBVR trades integrated features for ultra-low current and simpler supervision-neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision for substitution.

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for MAX6366LKA26+T?
The MAX6366LKA26+T has a factory-set reset threshold voltage of 2.63 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.55 V to 2.70 V across -40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external configuration. The threshold is referenced internally and remains stable under load, enabling precise monitoring of 2.5 V or 3.3 V supply rails without calibration. MAX6366LKA26+T uses this fixed threshold to initiate reset assertion during VCC brownout conditions.
Does MAX6366LKA26+T support battery-backup operation, and how does switchover work?
Yes, MAX6366LKA26+T supports automatic battery-backup operation. When VCC falls below the 2.63 V reset threshold and also drops at least 20 mV below VBATT, the device switches OUT from VCC to the backup source. Switchover includes 40 mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation during slow VCC decay. In backup mode, MAX6366LKA26+T draws less than 1 µA from VBATT (at 2.8 V) while sustaining SRAM and real-time clocks. The OUT pin delivers up to 150 mA from VCC or VBATT depending on operating mode.
What is the watchdog timeout period of MAX6366LKA26+T, and how is it triggered?
The MAX6366LKA26+T features a watchdog timeout period of 1.6 s, with a guaranteed range of 1.00 s to 2.25 s over temperature. It is triggered when the WDI pin remains static (high or low) beyond this interval-requiring a rising or falling edge at least every 1.6 s to reset the internal timer. Each valid edge clears the timer; failure to do so causes a pulse on the open-drain RESET output for ≥150 ms. This behavior is intrinsic to MAX6366LKA26+T and requires no external components.
Can MAX6366LKA26+T be used without a backup battery?
Yes, MAX6366LKA26+T operates without a backup battery. In this configuration, connect the BATT pin to GND and tie OUT directly to VCC. The device continues full supervision functionality-including VCC monitoring, watchdog timing, and CE gating-with RESET assertion on undervoltage or timeout. All specifications, including 10 µA quiescent current and 2.63 V threshold, remain valid. MAX6366LKA26+T's design accommodates both battery-backed and single-rail implementations without hardware modification.
What package type and pin count does MAX6366LKA26+T use?
MAX6366LKA26+T uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm), with standard lead (Pb)-free construction indicated by the "+T" suffix. This miniature surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly. Pin assignments are fixed per the MAX6366 variant: RESET (pin 1), CE IN (pin 2), GND (pin 3), WDI (pin 4), VCC (pin 5), OUT (pin 6), BATT (pin 7), and CE OUT (pin 8). MAX6366LKA26+T's SOT23 footprint is identical across the MAX6365–MAX6368 family.
