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 systems from 1.6V to 5V, asserts reset during brownout or power-up, and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V. Used in automotive ECUs and battery-powered controllers for reliable μP initialization.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6412UK16-T datasheet, MAX6412UK16-T pinout, MAX6412UK16-T application, or MAX6412UK16-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.575V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 1.7μA typical quiescent current at 2V, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275μs to 5.75ms), SOT23-5 package, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The MAX6412UK16-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with 4mV hysteresis and internal 20kΩ MR pullup. Its reset timeout is generated by a 240nA current source charging an external capacitor on the SRT pin, with deassertion triggered when the ramp reaches 0.65V.
It features guaranteed reset assertion for VCC falling below 1.575V (±2.5% over temperature), supports manual reset via MR with <1μs pulse width tolerance and 75ns glitch rejection, and maintains RESET validity for VCC ≥ 1V with VOL ≤ 0.3V at 50µA sink current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 1.575V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for 1.6V–5V supplies |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7μA typ at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered systems |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275μs to 5.75ms - adjustable via external capacitor (0–1500pF) for μP reset timing compliance |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - drives μP reset pin directly without external pullup; VOL ≤ 0.3V @ 50µA |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded use |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - ensures reset assertion even during deep brownout; valid RESET down to 1V |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with internal 20kΩ pullup - simplifies manual reset with momentary switch to GND |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, 0.95mm pitch, gull-wing leads. RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel packaging.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives μP reset pin directly; sinks 50µA with VOL ≤ 0.3V; no external pullup required |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators, current sources, and output stage |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low; internally pulled up to VCC with 20kΩ; <1μs minimum pulse width supported |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout input | Connects to external capacitor; 240nA constant current charges CSRT to set tRP |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage and monitored rail | Input to fixed-threshold comparator; also powers internal circuitry; valid from 1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise, application-specific reset duration tuning (275μs–5.75ms) without firmware or trimming |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic μP reset state during deep undervoltage conditions common in automotive cold-crank |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤50μs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy environments |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive applications per Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C) requirements |
| Low-leakage SRT node | 240nA ramp current enables stable timeout with ceramic capacitors; layout-sensitive but highly repeatable |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Portable Medical Monitor |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 3.3V microcontroller supply during engine start-stop cycles with rapid VCC transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting active-low RESET to ARM Cortex-M4 until stable 3.3V is confirmed. Use Value: Prevents code execution errors during cold-crank (VCC dip to 1.8V); 1.575V threshold matches 3.3V rail margin. | Use Scenario: Ensures safe boot of patient-data acquisition SoC powered by single Li-ion cell (2.8V–4.2V range). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset generator with manual reset button for field recalibration. Use Value: 1.7μA quiescent current extends battery life; MR input enables technician-initiated reset without power cycle. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Battery-Powered Wireless Sensor Node |
Use Scenario: Supervises 5V logic supply in DIN-rail mounted controller exposed to wide ambient temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role supervisor: monitors VCC and provides manual reset via front-panel switch. Use Value: –40°C to +125°C rating ensures reliability in unconditioned enclosures; push-pull output eliminates pullup resistor. | Use Scenario: Powers ultra-low-power MSP430-based sensor node with intermittent wake-up from coin-cell battery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brownout detector and reset timer ensuring clean MCU restart after voltage recovery. Use Value: 275μs minimum timeout satisfies MSP430's 100μs minimum reset pulse requirement; 1.7μA ICC minimizes standby drain. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Fixed 1.5V threshold; 3.5μA ICC at 3.3V; factory-programmed timeout (200ms default); no manual reset input | Lacks MR pin and capacitor-adjustable timeout - suitable only for fixed-timing, non-manual-reset designs | Select if timeout consistency matters more than flexibility and manual control is unnecessary |
| STM6315SWX6F | Fixed 1.55V threshold; 1.2μA ICC; 200ms fixed timeout; open-drain RESET; no MR input | Open-drain output requires external pullup; no manual reset or timeout adjustment - limits interface flexibility | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-current applications where push-pull drive and MR are not required |
Compared with TPS3808G15DBVR and STM6315SWX6F, the MAX6412UK16-T uniquely combines capacitor-adjustable timeout, integrated manual reset, push-pull output, and AEC-Q100 qualification - making it optimal for automotive and industrial designs requiring field serviceability and timing adaptability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6412UK16-T?
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 value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet and corresponds to the "16" suffix in the part number.
Does the MAX6412UK16-T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6412UK16-T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input on Pin 3. It is active-low, internally pulled up to VCC with a 20kΩ resistor, and accepts pulses as short as 1μs. When asserted, it forces RESET low for the full timeout period after release - a core feature distinguishing it from MAX6415–MAX6420 variants.
What package type and footprint does the MAX6412UK16-T use?
The MAX6412UK16-T is supplied in a 5-pin SOT23 package (package code U5-2), with 0.95mm lead pitch and standardized land pattern 90-0174. It is RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel packaged, and rated for –40°C to +125°C operation - identical across all MAX6412 variants.
How is the reset timeout period set on the MAX6412UK16-T?
The reset timeout period on the MAX6412UK16-T is set by connecting an external capacitor (CSRT) between Pin 4 (SRT) and ground. The relationship is tRP = (2.71 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275μs, yielding 275μs (CSRT = 0) to 5.75ms (CSRT = 1500pF). Ceramic capacitors with leakage <10nA are recommended.
Is the MAX6412UK16-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6412UK16-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. While the base part number does not include the "/V" suffix, Maxim's ordering information confirms that MAX6412UKxx-T devices meet Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C) stress testing requirements and are approved for under-hood and ECU applications.
