Product details
Overview
The MAX6412UK29-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with fixed 2.925V VCC reset threshold, active-low push-pull reset output, manual reset input (MR), and capacitor-adjustable reset timeout. It monitors VCC from 1.0V to 5.5V, guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for automotive and industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6412UK29-T datasheet, MAX6412UK29-T pinout, MAX6412UK29-T application, or MAX6412UK29-T equivalent, this device delivers precise brownout detection, manual reset capability, and externally programmable reset delay - critical for reliable power-up sequencing in battery-powered controllers and safety-critical μP systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6412UK29-T implements a factory-laser-trimmed bandgap reference and comparator to detect VCC falling below 2.925V ±2.5% over temperature. Its internal 20kΩ MR pullup enables momentary-switch manual reset without external components.
Reset assertion is triggered by VCC drop, MR low, or both; deassertion requires VCC rise above threshold plus capacitor-charged timeout (tRP = 2.71×10⁶ × CSRT + 275µs). The active-low push-pull RESET output sinks 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V with VOL ≤ 0.4V, ensuring robust drive into μP reset inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.925V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive temperature range |
| Supply Current | 1.7µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year operation in battery-backed systems |
| Reset Timeout Range | 0.275ms to 5.75ms (with CSRT = 0F to 1500pF) - supports wide μP reset timing requirements via single capacitor |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and provides fast, rail-to-rail logic transitions |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
| MR Input Logic | CMOS-compatible with internal 20kΩ pullup - allows direct connection of NO momentary switch to ground |
| VCC Validity Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees RESET validity during deep brownout and full supply range |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+T suffix).
| 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 | Return path for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low CMOS input with internal 20kΩ pullup; 1µs minimum pulse width; 75ns glitch rejection |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout input | Connects to external capacitor (CSRT); 240nA precision ramp current sets tRP = 2.71×10⁶ × CSRT + 275µs |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage and monitored rail | Input for fixed-threshold VCC supervision; also powers internal circuitry; absolute max = +6.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.925V reset threshold | Laser-trimmed accuracy (±2.5% over temp) eliminates calibration effort and reduces BOM count vs adjustable supervisors |
| Capacitor-adjustable timeout | Single external capacitor (0–1500pF) sets reset hold time from 275µs to 5.75ms - avoids fixed-delay IC selection complexity |
| Manual reset with internal pullup | 20kΩ integrated MR pullup enables NO switch-to-ground implementation - saves PCB space and component cost |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout - prevents μP lockup in low-VCC fault conditions |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects <50µs negative VCC transients down to 100mV below threshold - improves reliability in noisy automotive environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6412UK29+T | Identical electrical specs and pinout; lead-free (RoHS) packaging vs leaded (-T) | No functional difference; selected when RoHS compliance is mandatory | Choose MAX6412UK29+T for new designs requiring lead-free assembly; MAX6412UK29-T remains viable for legacy leaded processes. |
| TPS3808G29DBVR | Fixed 2.93V threshold, 350nA IQ, open-drain RESET, no MR input | Lacks manual reset; requires external pullup; lower IQ but less flexible reset control | Select TPS3808G29DBVR only if manual reset is unnecessary and ultra-low current (<1µA) is prioritized over feature completeness. |
Compared with MAX6412UK29-T, MAX6412UK29+T offers identical performance in RoHS-compliant packaging, while TPS3808G29DBVR trades manual reset and push-pull drive for lower quiescent current - making MAX6412UK29-T optimal for designs needing field-serviceable reset and robust output drive.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6412UK29-T?
The MAX6412UK29-T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.925V, with tolerance of ±1.25% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and corresponds to the "29" suffix per the Reset Voltages Suffix Table in the datasheet.
Does the MAX6412UK29-T include a manual reset input?
Yes, the MAX6412UK29-T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input on Pin 3. It is an active-low CMOS input with an internal 20kΩ pullup resistor, enabling direct connection of a normally open momentary switch to ground without external components.
What type of reset output does the MAX6412UK29-T provide?
The MAX6412UK29-T provides an active-low push-pull reset output on Pin 1. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and ensures strong logic-level drive - sinking up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V with VOL ≤ 0.4V - making it ideal for driving modern μP reset inputs directly.
How is the reset timeout period set on the MAX6412UK29-T?
The reset timeout period on the MAX6412UK29-T is set by connecting an external capacitor (CSRT) between Pin 4 (SRT) and ground. The relationship is tRP = (2.71 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, where tRP is in seconds and CSRT is in farads. A 1500pF capacitor yields a typical timeout of 4.375ms.
Is the MAX6412UK29-T qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX6412UK29-T itself is not explicitly marked as /V (AEC-Q100 qualified) in the Ordering Information table. However, the MAX6412 family includes /V variants (e.g., MAX6412UK29/V+T), and the MAX6412UK29-T shares the same die, SOT23-5 package, and –40°C to +125°C rating - confirming its suitability for automotive environments when qualified versions are unavailable.
