Product details
Overview
The MAX6412UK46+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with fixed 4.625V 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 when VCC drops below 4.625V or MR is pulled low, and holds reset for a capacitor-adjustable timeout period. Operating from -40°C to +125°C, it delivers 1.7μA typical quiescent current and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6412UK46+T datasheet, MAX6412UK46+T pinout, MAX6412UK46+T application, or MAX6412UK46+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 4.625V threshold accuracy (±2.5% over temperature), SOT23-5 package footprint, capacitor-programmable reset timeout (275µs to 5.75ms), manual reset functionality with internal 20kΩ pullup, and guaranteed operation at VCC as low as 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6412UK46+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and a dedicated manual reset input path, both feeding into a state machine that controls an active-low push-pull output driver. Its reset timeout is generated by a 240nA current source charging an external capacitor on the SRT pin, with deassertion triggered upon reaching a 0.65V internal reference.
This device belongs to the MAX6412–MAX6420 family of single/dual-voltage supervisors, where the MAX6412 variant specifically provides factory-trimmed fixed-threshold monitoring (4.625V nominal) plus MR input-no adjustable RESET IN-and uses push-pull active-low RESET output. All variants share the same SOT23-5 package and -40°C to +125°C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 4.625V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection for 5V systems |

Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23-5, 5-pin surface-mount package with 0.95mm pitch, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 255.9°C/W (multi-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuitry and external capacitor (SRT) |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low assertion triggers reset; internally pulled up to VCC (20kΩ) |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout input | Connects to external capacitor; 240nA constant current charges CSRT to set tRP |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.625V reset threshold | Factory-laser-trimmed for ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor divider |
| Capacitor-adjustable timeout | External CSRT sets precise reset hold time (275µs–5.75ms) - accommodates diverse μP startup requirements |
| Manual reset with internal pullup | 20kΩ integrated pullup allows momentary switch to ground - no external components needed for MR function |
| Low 1.7μA quiescent current | Enables use in always-on battery-backed systems - extends operational lifetime significantly |
| Valid reset down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion during severe brownout - prevents erratic μP execution |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UT46+T | Fixed 4.63V threshold, 1.6μA ICC, same SOT23-5, but no manual reset input | Suitable only where MR is unnecessary; lacks MR pin functionality | Select when manual reset is not required and lowest possible quiescent current is critical |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold, 2.8μA ICC, SOT23-6, includes watchdog timer | Not a direct voltage match; requires redesign for 4.625V monitoring | Choose only if system needs watchdog capability and can accommodate different threshold and pin count |
Compared with MAX6412UK46+T, MAX6326UT46+T offers marginally lower current but omits MR-making it unsuitable for user-initiated reset. TPS3808G33DBVR adds watchdog functionality but targets 3.3V systems and requires PCB layout changes due to SOT23-6 and incompatible threshold.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6412UK46+T?
The MAX6412UK46+T has a factory-trimmed nominal VCC reset threshold of 4.625V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed during production and corresponds to the "46" suffix in the part number per Maxim's Reset Voltages Suffix Table.
Does the MAX6412UK46+T support dual-voltage monitoring?
No, the MAX6412UK46+T does not support dual-voltage monitoring. It is a single-threshold supervisor with a fixed 4.625V VCC monitor and manual reset input (MR). Dual-voltage capability is reserved for MAX6418/MAX6419/MAX6420 variants, which include both fixed and adjustable RESET IN inputs.
How do I calculate the external capacitor value for a desired reset timeout on the MAX6412UK46+T?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP − 275µs) / 2.71 × 10⁶, where tRP is the desired timeout in seconds and CSRT is in farads. For example, a 4.375ms timeout requires CSRT = (0.004375 − 0.000275) / 2.71 × 10⁶ = 1500pF. Ceramic capacitors with leakage <10nA are recommended.
Is the MAX6412UK46+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6412–MAX6420 family?
Yes, all MAX6412–MAX6420 devices use the identical SOT23-5 package and share the same pinout: Pin 1 = RESET, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = MR (or RESET IN), Pin 4 = SRT, Pin 5 = VCC. However, functional differences exist - e.g., MAX6413 has active-high RESET, MAX6414 has open-drain output - so electrical compatibility must be verified per application.
What is the maximum supply voltage the MAX6412UK46+T can tolerate?
The MAX6412UK46+T has an absolute maximum VCC rating of +6.0V, but its specified operating range is 1.0V to 5.5V. Operation above 5.5V risks permanent damage, and the device is not characterized or guaranteed beyond this limit. For 5V systems, the 4.625V threshold provides appropriate margin against overvoltage.
