Product details
Overview
MAX6412UK46-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with fixed 4.625V VCC reset threshold, active-low push-pull reset output, manual reset input (MR), and capacitor-adjustable reset timeout. It monitors VCC in systems requiring precise brownout detection at 4.625V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C, and asserts reset for ≥3.0ms after VCC recovers or MR release. Used in automotive ECUs and battery-powered controllers where stable power-up sequencing is critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6412UK46-T datasheet, MAX6412UK46-T pinout, MAX6412UK46-T application, or MAX6412UK46-T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, SOT23-5 package mapping, reset timeout design equations, quiescent current behavior across voltage/temperature, and validated alternatives for dual-voltage or adjustable-threshold migration paths.
Technical Context
The MAX6412UK46-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring with factory-trimmed 4.625V threshold (±2.5% over full temperature range) and 4×VTH hysteresis. Its internal 240nA SRT ramp current charges an external capacitor to generate a programmable reset timeout - tRP = (2.71×10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs - enabling flexible delay tuning from 275µs to >5ms.
It features a dedicated manual reset input (MR) with 20kΩ internal pullup, glitch rejection of 75ns, and MR-to-RESET delay of 20ns. The active-low push-pull RESET output guarantees valid logic down to VCC = 1V (VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA, VCC ≥ 4.5V), supporting reliable μP initialization in low-voltage brownout recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 4.625V ±2.5% (–40°C to +125°C); ensures deterministic brownout detection at nominal 4.625V with guaranteed margin against supply ripple. |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to 5.75ms (CSRT = 0F to 1500pF); enables precise alignment with μP minimum reset pulse width requirements. |
| Supply Current | 1.7µA (typ) at VCC ≤ 2.0V; supports ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and high-reliability embedded applications. |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull RESET; eliminates need for external pullup resistor and provides robust drive into μP reset pin capacitance. |
| MR Input Logic | CMOS-compatible with VIL ≤ 0.3×VCC, VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC; allows direct interface to GPIOs or momentary switches without level-shifting. |
| Reset Valid Down To | VCC = 1V; guarantees RESET assertion integrity during deep brownout conditions before system power collapse. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (5-pin, 1.6mm × 2.9mm, 0.95mm height), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel delivery. Pin 1 marked by dot; top-view orientation per datasheet.
| 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 comparators, ramp generator, and output stage; must be low-impedance. |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Pull low to force reset; internal 20kΩ pullup allows floating when unused; 75ns glitch rejection prevents false triggers. |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout input | Connects to external timing capacitor; 240nA constant current source charges CSRT to set tRP with ±15% tolerance. |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage and monitored rail | Input for fixed-threshold VCC supervision; operates from 1.0V to 5.5V; reset asserted if VCC falls below 4.625V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise, application-specific reset pulse width tuning via single external capacitor (CSRT), eliminating fixed-delay limitations. |
| Factory-trimmed 4.625V threshold | Guarantees ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, reducing calibration overhead in automotive and industrial designs. |
| 1.7µA typical supply current | Minimizes standby power draw in always-on systems such as telematics modules and sensor nodes with battery backup. |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤50µs duration when overdrive is ≤100mV below threshold, improving reliability in noisy electrical environments. |
| Valid reset down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic μP reset assertion even during severe brownout, preventing code execution errors before full power collapse. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6413UK46-T | Identical 4.625V threshold and SOT23-5 package, but features active-high push-pull RESET output. | Requires redesign of reset net polarity; incompatible with μPs expecting active-low reset assertion. | Select only if target microcontroller requires active-high reset signaling and board layout allows signal inversion or net rework. |
| MAX6418UK46-T | Same 4.625V VCC threshold, but adds adjustable RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring (e.g., 5V + 3.3V rails). | Supports simultaneous supervision of two supplies; increases BOM count and PCB area due to external resistor divider. | Choose when monitoring secondary voltage (e.g., I/O supply) is required; not drop-in - requires additional components and validation. |
Compared with MAX6412UK46-T, MAX6413UK46-T changes reset polarity (active-high vs. active-low), demanding signal-level compatibility checks, while MAX6418UK46-T adds dual-rail capability at cost of complexity - neither offers pin-to-pin replacement without schematic or firmware adjustments.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6412UK46-T?
The MAX6412UK46-T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 4.625V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet, where suffix "46" maps to nominal 4.625V (min 4.509V, typ 4.625V, max 4.741V). The MAX6412UK46-T uses laser-trimmed resistors to achieve this accuracy without external calibration.
Does the MAX6412UK46-T support dual-voltage monitoring?
No, the MAX6412UK46-T does not support dual-voltage monitoring. It monitors only the VCC supply using its fixed 4.625V threshold. 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 MAX6412UK46-T lacks the RESET IN pin and associated comparator circuitry required for secondary rail supervision.
What capacitor value sets a 4.375ms reset timeout for the MAX6412UK46-T?
A 1500pF capacitor on the SRT pin sets a typical reset timeout of 4.375ms for the MAX6412UK46-T, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (tRP = 4.375ms at CSRT = 1500pF). The relationship follows tRP = (2.71 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, so for 4.375ms, CSRT = (4.375×10⁻³ − 275×10⁻⁶) / 2.71×10⁶ ≈ 1500pF. Use low-leakage ceramic capacitors to maintain timing accuracy.
Is the MAX6412UK46-T AEC-Q100 qualified?
The base MAX6412UK46-T is not explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified per the datasheet; only parts with "/V" suffix (e.g., MAX6414UK29/V+T) are designated automotive-grade. However, the MAX6412UK46-T operates over –40°C to +125°C and is offered in SOT23-5 packages qualified for automotive ambient conditions. For formal AEC-Q100 compliance, select a /V-suffixed variant from the same family - the MAX6412UK46-T itself does not carry that qualification.
Can the MAX6412UK46-T operate with VCC below 1.6V?
Yes, the MAX6412UK46-T functions with VCC as low as 1.0V, and its reset output remains valid down to VCC = 1V (guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.4V at VCC ≥ 4.5V, ISINK = 3.2mA). However, below 1.0V, reset assertion is not guaranteed. The device's supply voltage range is specified as 1.0V to 5.5V, and it draws only 1.7µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - making the MAX6412UK46-T suitable for low-voltage brownout detection in deeply discharged battery scenarios.
