Product details
Overview
MAX6412UK26 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with fixed 2.625V 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 MAX6412UK26 datasheet, MAX6412UK26 pinout, MAX6412UK26 application, or MAX6412UK26 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOT23-5 package, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275µs–5.75ms), 1.7µA typical quiescent current, -40°C to +125°C operation, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The MAX6412UK26 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature and 4mV hysteresis. Its reset timeout is generated by a 240nA internal current source charging an external capacitor on the SRT pin, with deassertion triggered when the ramp reaches 0.65V.
It features a 20kΩ internal MR pullup resistor, supports manual reset via logic-low pulse ≥1µs, and provides glitch immunity with 75ns rejection on MR. The active-low push-pull RESET output sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.625V nominal (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C); ensures reset assertion before μP operational voltage collapse |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V; enables multi-year battery life in portable/automotive standby modes |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to 5.75ms (CSRT = 0F to 1500pF); configurable for diverse μP reset timing requirements |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded environments |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull; drives μP reset pin directly without external pullup, compatible with CMOS/TTL logic |
| MR Input Logic | Logic-low active with 20kΩ internal pullup; eliminates need for external components in manual reset implementation |
| VCC Validity Range | Guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V; prevents undefined reset state during deep brownout |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, 0.95mm pitch, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant lead-free option available.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives μP reset pin low during fault; returns high after timeout; no external pullup required |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and external capacitor (SRT-to-GND) |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Pull low to assert reset; internal 20kΩ pullup allows NC if unused; 75ns glitch rejection |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout input | Connect external capacitor to GND; 240nA current source sets tRP = 2.71×10⁶×CSRT + 275µs |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage and monitored rail | Power source and primary voltage monitor input; operates from 1.0V to 5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise timing alignment with μP reset requirements across diverse platforms using one standard part |
| Factory-trimmed 2.625V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider; reduces BOM count and layout area vs. adjustable supervisors |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, ADAS sensors, and infotainment power management |
| Low 1.7µA quiescent current | Minimizes battery drain in always-on vehicle modules and portable medical instruments |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects <50µs negative VCC transients down to 100mV below threshold-prevents false resets in noisy environments |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Battery-Powered Medical Monitor |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 3.3V main supply in diesel ECU during cold cranking where voltage sags to 2.4V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asserts reset until VCC recovers above 2.625V and holds for 4.375ms (CSRT = 1500pF) to ensure μP completes boot sequence. Use Value: Prevents code execution errors during start-stop cycles; AEC-Q100 rating ensures reliability over 15-year vehicle lifetime. | Use Scenario: Supervises 1.8V LDO output powering ARM Cortex-M4 in handheld glucose meter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects brownout below 2.625V on main 3.3V rail feeding the LDO; triggers controlled shutdown before memory corruption. Use Value: 1.7µA ICC extends single-CR2032 battery life to >3 years in standby; SOT23-5 footprint saves PCB space. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Smart Energy Meter |
Use Scenario: Ensures deterministic restart of TI C2000 DSP after AC line interruption causes 5V rail dip. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses MR pin for watchdog-triggered reset; 20kΩ internal pullup simplifies board design versus discrete resistor. Use Value: -40°C to +125°C rating supports operation inside sealed enclosures near motors; push-pull output drives DSP reset without level-shifting. | Use Scenario: Guards against firmware corruption during voltage dips caused by RF interference from AMR mesh networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5V auxiliary supply; 75ns MR glitch rejection prevents spurious resets from EMI-induced noise on reset button traces. Use Value: 4mV hysteresis avoids chatter near threshold; open-drain alternatives excluded since push-pull suits isolated meter MCU interface. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6316LUK26D3+ | Same 2.625V threshold, but uses fixed 140ms timeout (no SRT capacitor); higher 5µA ICC | Lacks timeout adjustability; suited only for designs where fixed delay suffices | Select MAX6412UK26 when variable reset duration is needed for different μP families |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V threshold (not 2.625V); fixed 200ms timeout; 1.1µA ICC; SOT23-6 package | Higher threshold may miss early brownout detection; extra pin increases layout complexity | Choose MAX6412UK26 for tighter 2.625V margin and SOT23-5 pin compatibility |
Compared with MAX6316LUK26D3+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6412UK26 uniquely combines precise 2.625V detection, capacitor-programmable timeout, ultra-low 1.7µA current, and SOT23-5 footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive automotive and industrial supervisory roles.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6412UK26?
The MAX6412UK26 has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.625V nominal, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet (suffix "26" corresponds to 2.559V min / 2.625V typ / 2.691V max). The MAX6412UK26 uses laser-trimmed resistors to achieve this precision without external components.
Does MAX6412UK26 support dual-voltage monitoring?
No, the MAX6412UK26 does not support dual-voltage monitoring. It is a single-threshold supervisor with fixed VCC monitoring only. Dual-voltage capability is exclusive to the MAX6418/MAX6419/MAX6420 variants, which integrate both a factory-trimmed VCC threshold and an adjustable RESET IN input. The MAX6412UK26 lacks the RESET IN pin and associated comparator circuitry.
What capacitor value sets a 3.5ms reset timeout for MAX6412UK26?
To achieve a 3.5ms reset timeout with the MAX6412UK26, use CSRT = (3.5ms − 275µs) / 2.71×10⁶ = 1195pF. A standard 1200pF ceramic capacitor is recommended, yielding ~3.52ms per the formula tRP = (2.71×10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs. Ensure the capacitor has leakage <10nA; X7R or C0G dielectrics are suitable.
Is MAX6412UK26 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6412UK26 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. While the base part number does not include "/V", the datasheet explicitly states that MAX6412UKxx parts are offered in AEC-Q100 qualified versions (see Ordering Information section and footnote "*AEC-Q100 Qualified, Refer to Ordering Information for Specific /V Parts"). The -40°C to +125°C temperature rating and robust transient immunity further support automotive deployment.
Can MAX6412UK26 operate with VCC below 1.6V?
Yes, the MAX6412UK26 functions with VCC as low as 1.0V, though its specified monitoring range starts at 1.6V. The datasheet guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, and absolute maximum ratings allow VCC = 1.0V minimum. Below 1.6V, reset assertion remains functional, but threshold accuracy is not characterized-designers should verify behavior in their specific low-voltage application.
