Product details
Overview
MAX6392KA22+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC that monitors VCC (master supply) and RESET IN2 (adjustable secondary supply) to generate time-sequenced active-low reset outputs: push-pull RESET1 and open-drain RESET2. It features a factory-set 2.19V VCC reset threshold, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V, 140ms minimum timeout for both resets, and an active-low manual reset (MR) input. It is used in multivoltage systems requiring controlled power-up sequencing - e.g., dual-core processors with independent I/O and core rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6392KA22+ datasheet, MAX6392KA22+ pinout, MAX6392KA22+ application, or MAX6392KA22+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, sequenced reset timing behavior, MR input timing specs, SOT23-8 package details, and real-world multivoltage monitoring use cases - all confirmed from Maxim's official datasheet Rev 2 (12/05).
Technical Context
The MAX6392KA22+ implements two independent voltage comparators: one fixed-threshold comparator for VCC (2.19V ±0.07V), and one 625mV reference comparator for RESET IN2, enabling user-adjustable secondary supply monitoring via external resistor divider. RESET1 is push-pull and asserts synchronously with VCC drop; RESET2 is open-drain and asserts if either VCC or RESET IN2 falls below threshold.
Sequencing is enforced by internal timing logic: RESET2 deasserts only after RESET1 has deasserted, and during power-down, RESET2 asserts before RESET1. The CSRT pin supports either fixed 140ms (min) timeout (when tied to VCC) or capacitor-adjustable delay (via 600nA current source charging CCSRT to 1.25V reference).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.19V (factory-fixed, ±0.07V over -40°C to +85°C); ensures reliable reset assertion when main supply drops below safe operating level for 2.2V–2.5V logic domains. |
| RESET IN2 Threshold | 625mV (internal reference); enables monitoring of secondary supplies as low as 625mV using external resistive divider - e.g., 1.2V rail with 2:1 divider yields 600mV trip point. |
| RESET1 Timeout | 140ms (min), 200ms (typ), 280ms (max); fixed internal timer guarantees sufficient hold time for processor initialization before release. |
| RESET2 Timeout | 140ms (min) fixed when CSRT = VCC; or user-adjustable (e.g., 3.1ms with 1500pF) when CSRT = capacitor; provides flexibility for fast- or slow-release secondary subsystems. |
| Supply Current | 15µA (typ), 25µA (max) at +25°C; ultra-low quiescent current enables use in battery-backed or always-on monitoring circuits without significant drain. |
| Reset Valid Down To | VCC = 1.0V; allows full reset functionality even during deep brownout conditions where many supervisors fail - critical for robust industrial power management. |
| MR Input Pulse Width | 50µs (min); supports clean manual reset triggering from debounced pushbuttons or digital control signals without false triggers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOT23-8 (JEDEC MO-178 compliant), 3.00mm × 1.75mm × 1.30mm body, lead pitch 0.65mm, lead coplanarity ≤ 0.1mm. RoHS-compliant lead-free variant denoted by "+" suffix.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET IN2 | Secondary supply monitor input | High-impedance comparator input referenced to 625mV; connects to external resistor divider to set custom reset threshold for auxiliary rails (e.g., 1.8V, 1.2V). |
| 2 - VCC | Main supply input & power rail | Primary monitoring node and device power source; asserts both resets when falling below 2.19V; operates down to 1.0V with guaranteed reset validity. |
| 3 - CSRT | RESET2 timeout configuration node | Selects RESET2 timing mode: tied to VCC → fixed 140ms (min); connected to capacitor → user-adjustable delay (e.g., 3.1ms with 1500pF). |
| 4 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers; must be low-impedance to ensure noise immunity. |
| 5 - RESET2 | Secondary reset output | Open-drain, active-low output; asserts before RESET1 on power-down and deasserts only after RESET1 releases - enforces strict sequencing order. |
| 6 - R2 | Internal pullup connection for RESET2 | 47kΩ internal resistor tied to RESET2; connect to external VOH (e.g., 3.3V) to set high-level voltage independently of VCC. |
| 7 - RESET1 | Primary reset output | Push-pull, active-low output (MAX6392-specific); drives full logic swing without external pullup; asserts first on power-down, releases first on power-up. |
| 8 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low, internally pulled up to VCC via 47kΩ; forces both RESET1 and RESET2 low for ≥50µs pulse; immune to <100ns glitches. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises master (VCC) and slave (RESET IN2) supplies with separate thresholds - eliminates need for two discrete supervisors. |
| Guaranteed reset operation at VCC = 1.0V | Enables fail-safe reset assertion during severe brownout, unlike most supervisors that cease functioning below 1.2V–1.5V. |
| Configurable RESET2 timing | CSRT pin supports either fixed 140ms timeout (for simplicity) or capacitor-adjustable delay (for precision sequencing), reducing BOM count. |
| Integrated MR with glitch rejection | 50µs minimum pulse width + 100ns glitch filter prevents spurious resets from switch bounce or EMI - no external RC filtering required. |
| Independent VOH control via R1/R2 | R2 (pin 6) allows RESET2 to be pulled to 3.3V or 2.5V while VCC = 5V - essential for mixed-voltage system interfacing without level shifters. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Server Power Sequencing |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Dual-rail power delivery to FPGA and ARM-based controller, where core (1.2V) must initialize before I/O (3.3V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6392KA22+ monitors 1.2V core rail at RESET IN2 (via divider) and 3.3V I/O rail at VCC; generates RESET1 for I/O domain and RESET2 for core domain with enforced release order. Use Value: Ensures FPGA configuration completes before peripheral initialization - preventing bus contention and boot failure in field-deployed equipment. |
Use Scenario: 12V/5V/3.3V/1.8V multi-rail server motherboard requiring staggered power-up to limit inrush current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6392KA22+ acts as primary sequencer: VCC = 5V rail, RESET IN2 = 1.8V rail; RESET1 controls 3.3V LDO enable, RESET2 controls 1.8V LDO enable with delayed release. Use Value: Reduces peak inrush by >40% versus simultaneous rail activation - avoids tripping upstream 5V supply OCP and improves system reliability. |
| Medical Imaging Subsystem | Automotive ADAS Camera Module |
|
Use Scenario: High-resolution image sensor with analog front-end (2.5V) and digital processing core (1.1V), requiring precise reset coordination. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6392KA22+ uses VCC = 2.5V (analog rail), RESET IN2 = 1.1V (core rail via divider); RESET1 resets analog block, RESET2 resets digital block after analog stabilization. Use Value: Prevents digital noise coupling into analog signal chain during startup - eliminates image artifacts in diagnostic-grade ultrasound output. |
Use Scenario: Automotive camera module with 12V input, DC/DC converted 5V and 1.2V rails, subject to cold-crank transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6392KA22+ monitors 5V rail at VCC and 1.2V rail at RESET IN2; MR input tied to vehicle ignition signal; immune to -2V/100ns VCC glitches per spec. Use Value: Maintains deterministic reset behavior during engine start - avoids camera boot lockup and ensures ASIL-B compliance for vision-based safety functions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6391KA22+ | No MR input; RESET1 is open-drain (not push-pull); lacks manual reset capability and internal MR pullup. | Suitable only where software/hardware reset initiation is unnecessary - e.g., fixed-function embedded controllers with no field service requirement. | Select MAX6391KA22+ only if MR is unused and external pullups for RESET1 are acceptable; MAX6392KA22+ preferred for serviceability. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V fixed threshold); no secondary supply monitor or sequenced dual-reset outputs; no MR glitch rejection spec. | Limited to single-rail systems; cannot replace MAX6392KA22+ in dual-voltage sequencing without adding external logic or second IC. | Use TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive single-rail applications; not a functional substitute for MAX6392KA22+'s dual-monitoring architecture. |
Compared with MAX6391KA22+, the MAX6392KA22+ adds MR with glitch immunity and push-pull RESET1 - simplifying board layout and enabling field-service reset. Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers true dual-supply monitoring and enforced sequencing - eliminating design compromises in multivoltage systems.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6392KA22+?
The MAX6392KA22+ has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.19V, with a tolerance of ±0.07V across the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold (VTH1)" for ordering code KA22, and corresponds to top-mark "AAHY" per the Selector Guide.
Does MAX6392KA22+ support adjustable reset timeout for both RESET1 and RESET2?
No - only RESET2 timeout is adjustable via the CSRT pin. RESET1 timeout is fixed at 140ms (minimum) and internally generated; it cannot be modified. RESET2 timeout can be set to 140ms (min) by connecting CSRT to VCC, or made user-adjustable by connecting CSRT to an external capacitor (e.g., 1500pF yields ~3.1ms).
Can MAX6392KA22+ monitor a 1.2V supply as the secondary voltage?
Yes - the RESET IN2 input uses a fixed 625mV internal reference, so a 1.2V supply can be monitored using an external resistor divider. For example, a 1.2V rail with R3 = 909kΩ and R4 = 1MΩ yields VRST = 625mV × (1.909/1) ≈ 1.195V, meeting typical 1.2V ±5% tolerance requirements.
What is the function of the R2 pin on MAX6392KA22+?
The R2 pin on MAX6392KA22+ connects to an internal 47kΩ pullup resistor tied to the open-drain RESET2 output. To set RESET2's high-level voltage (VOH) to a value different from VCC - such as 3.3V in a 5V system - connect R2 to that external voltage rail. This eliminates need for external pullup resistors or level shifters.
Is MAX6392KA22+ compatible with 1.0V VCC operation?
Yes - the MAX6392KA22+ guarantees valid reset assertion and timing down to VCC = 1.0V, as explicitly stated in the Features list and Electrical Characteristics table. This enables reliable operation during deep brownout conditions where many competing supervisors cease functioning below 1.2V.
