Product details
Overview
The MAX6412UK16+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with fixed 1.575V VCC reset threshold, manual reset input (MR), and active-low push-pull reset output. It monitors supply voltage in battery-powered controllers and embedded systems, asserts reset during brownout or power-up, and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V. Reset timeout is capacitor-adjustable (275µs to >5ms) for flexible μP initialization timing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6412UK16+T datasheet, MAX6412UK16+T pinout, MAX6412UK16+T application, or MAX6412UK16+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.575V fixed threshold accuracy (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1.7µA typical quiescent current at 2V, SOT23-5 package compatibility, and guaranteed reset validity at VCC ≥ 1V - critical for low-voltage portable and automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The MAX6412UK16+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and a dedicated MR input with internal 20kΩ pullup. Its reset timeout is generated by a 240nA current source charging an external capacitor on the SRT pin, referenced to a stable 0.65V internal threshold.
Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below 1.575V (±2.5%) or MR is pulled low; deassertion requires both VCC > 1.575V and MR high for the full timeout period. The active-low push-pull RESET output drives logic-compatible loads up to 3.2mA sink at VCC ≥ 4.5V with VOL ≤ 0.4V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 1.575V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7µA typ at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to >5ms via 0–1500pF SRT capacitor - supports μP reset hold times from fast boot to complex firmware initialization |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and ensures fast, rail-to-rail logic transitions |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
| VCC Validity Limit | RESET guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1V - prevents undefined state during deep brownout recovery |
| MR Input Logic | VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V/5V logic families without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (5-pin, 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 255.9°C/W (multi-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives μP reset pin directly; sinks 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V with VOL ≤ 0.4V; no external pullup required |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and external capacitor (SRT) |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low; internal 20kΩ pullup allows direct switch-to-ground connection; 1µs minimum pulse width |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout input | Connects to external capacitor (CSRT); 240nA precision current source sets timeout via ramp-to-0.65V timing |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Accepts 1.0V to 5.5V; powers internal comparators, reset logic, and output driver |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise tailoring of reset hold time (275µs–5.75ms) without firmware changes or BOM revisions |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic μP behavior during deep undervoltage recovery, eliminating race conditions in low-power wake-up sequences |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤50µs duration when 100mV below threshold - prevents spurious resets in noisy automotive environments |
| Low-leakage SRT node design | Minimizes timeout drift from PCB leakage; supports ceramic capacitors with <10nA leakage for stable long-term timing |
| AEC-Q100 qualification option | Available as /V variant for automotive applications requiring stress-tested reliability and extended temperature validation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6316LUK16+T | Fixed 1.575V threshold, but uses internal timer (no SRT capacitor); 2.5µA ICC; only 1.25ms min timeout | Lacks adjustable timeout - unsuitable where μP boot sequence varies across firmware versions | Select when fixed, short-duration reset hold is sufficient and board space for SRT capacitor must be minimized |
| TPS3808G16DBVR | 1.6V threshold (±0.5%), 1.1µA ICC, fixed 200ms timeout, open-drain output | Higher threshold tolerance and lower ICC, but open-drain requires pullup and fixed timeout limits flexibility | Select for ultra-low-power applications needing tighter threshold accuracy, accepting trade-off of non-adjustable timing and external pullup |
Compared with MAX6316LUK16+T and TPS3808G16DBVR, the MAX6412UK16+T uniquely balances ultra-low ICC (1.7µA), capacitor-adjustable timeout (275µs–5.75ms), and push-pull output - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs requiring precise reset timing control without external components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6412UK16+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6412UK16+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 1.575V, with ±1.25% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3 of the datasheet) and corresponds to the "16" suffix in the part number per Table 1. The threshold is laser-trimmed using internal resistors for high stability without external calibration.
Does the MAX6412UK16+T support dual-voltage monitoring like some members of the MAX6412–MAX6420 family?
No, the MAX6412UK16+T does not support dual-voltage monitoring. It is a single-threshold device with only VCC monitoring and a manual reset input (MR). Dual-voltage capability is exclusive to the MAX6418/MAX6419/MAX6420 variants, which include both a fixed VCC threshold and an adjustable RESET IN input. The MAX6412UK16+T datasheet explicitly lists "-" under RESET IN in the Selector Guide (page 11).
Can the MAX6412UK16+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V, and what happens to the RESET output below 1V?
Yes, the MAX6412UK16+T operates reliably at VCC = 1.2V: its supply voltage range is 1.0V to 5.5V, and RESET is guaranteed valid (logic-low when asserted, logic-high when deasserted) for VCC ≥ 1V. Below 1V, RESET output drive strength collapses; for applications requiring valid logic down to 0V, a 100kΩ pulldown resistor on RESET is recommended per Figure 6 in the datasheet.
What capacitor value should I use on the SRT pin of the MAX6412UK16+T to achieve a 4.375ms reset timeout?
To achieve a 4.375ms reset timeout, connect a 1500pF capacitor between the SRT pin and GND. This value is explicitly listed in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3) under "Reset Timeout Period tRP" for CSRT = 1500pF. The relationship is linear: tRP = (2.71 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, so 1500pF yields 4.375ms typical at +25°C.
Is the MAX6412UK16+T pin-compatible with other SOT23-5 supervisors such as the MAX6326 or TPS3808 series?
No, the MAX6412UK16+T is not pin-compatible with MAX6326 or TPS3808 series devices. Its pinout (RESET, GND, MR, SRT, VCC) differs functionally: MAX6326 uses different pin assignments (e.g., SRT is not present), and TPS3808DBVR maps GND, VIN, EN, RESET, and VDD differently. Always verify pin functions against the MAX6412UK16+T Pin Description (page 5) - substituting parts without layout review risks functional failure.
