Product details
Overview
MAX6414UK27+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with fixed 2.7V VCC reset threshold, manual reset input (MR), and active-low open-drain RESET output. It monitors supply voltage in battery-powered controllers and embedded systems, asserts reset during brownout or power-up, and uses an external capacitor on SRT to set timeout (3.0–5.75ms typical). Operating from -40°C to +125°C, it guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6414UK27+T datasheet, MAX6414UK27+T pinout, MAX6414UK27+T application, or MAX6414UK27+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT23-5 package details, real-world use cases for automotive and medical equipment, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and interface differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6414UK27+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring at 2.700V ±2.5% over temperature, paired with a high-impedance MR input featuring 20kΩ internal pullup. Its reset timeout is generated by a 240nA current source charging an external capacitor on SRT, referenced to a 0.65V internal threshold.
It features an open-drain RESET output rated to sink 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOL ≤ 0.4V), with leakage <1.0µA when deasserted. The device supports logic-level interfacing to µPs operating at voltages up to 5.5V via external pullup, and provides guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V without requiring external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.700V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| Reset Timeout Period | 3.00–5.75ms with 1500pF SRT capacitor - programmable delay prevents premature µP release during unstable power ramp-up |
| Supply Current | 1.7µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered portable instrumentation |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting to µP I/O rails up to 5.5V |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and high-reliability industrial control applications |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with 20kΩ internal pullup - eliminates external resistor for momentary switch implementation; 1µs minimum pulse width |
| Reset Validity Range | Guaranteed RESET logic validity down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (U5+2A outline, RoHS-compliant, 5-pin surface-mount) with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height. Thermal resistance θJA = 255.9°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives µP reset input low; requires external pullup to target logic rail; sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal comparators and current sources; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low assertion triggers reset; internally pulled up to VCC (20kΩ); 75ns glitch rejection |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout input | Connects to external timing capacitor; 240nA constant-current source charges CSRT to 0.65V threshold |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage and monitored rail | Input for fixed-threshold VCC supervision; operates from 1.0V to 5.5V; powers internal circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise tailoring of reset hold time (e.g., 3.0–5.75ms with 1500pF) to match specific µP power-ramp requirements |
| Fixed 2.7V reset threshold | Laser-trimmed accuracy (±2.5% over temp) eliminates calibration effort for 2.7V system rails in battery-backed devices |
| Open-drain RESET with wide voltage tolerance | Supports direct interface to 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V µP reset inputs using appropriate external pullup, avoiding level translators |
| Low quiescent current (1.7µA typ) | Minimizes battery drain in always-on portable medical sensors and remote IoT nodes |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset state during deep undervoltage events without external pulldown resistors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6414UK27-T | Same die, leaded (Pb) packaging instead of lead-free (+T suffix); identical electrical specs and SOT23-5 footprint | No difference in function or performance; not suitable for RoHS-compliant production | Select MAX6414UK27-T only for legacy repair or non-RoHS prototyping |
| TPS3808G27DBVR | Fixed 2.7V threshold, push-pull active-low RESET, 1.6µA ICC, but no MR input; uses internal timer (no SRT capacitor) | Lacks manual reset capability and externally adjustable timeout; simpler layout but less flexible timing control | Choose TPS3808G27DBVR when MR and programmable timeout are unnecessary and board space is constrained |
Compared with MAX6414UK27+T, MAX6414UK27-T offers identical functionality in leaded packaging for legacy use, while TPS3808G27DBVR trades MR input and capacitor-adjustable timeout for lower component count and smaller solution size-making it suitable for cost-sensitive, fixed-timing applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6414UK27+T and how accurate is it over temperature?
The MAX6414UK27+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.700V, with ±1.25% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This specification is laser-trimmed and guaranteed per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table, ensuring reliable detection of 2.7V rail brownouts in automotive and industrial environments where voltage tolerances are tight.
How do I calculate the SRT capacitor value needed for a 4.5ms reset timeout with MAX6414UK27+T?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP − 275µs) / 2.71 × 10⁶, where tRP is in seconds. For 4.5ms (0.0045s): CSRT = (0.0045 − 0.000275) / 2,710,000 ≈ 1560pF. A standard 1500pF ceramic capacitor yields 4.375ms typical timeout per the datasheet, meeting most µP requirements. Ensure the capacitor is low-leakage (<10nA) and placed close to the SRT pin.
Can MAX6414UK27+T interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller reset input?
Yes. The MAX6414UK27+T's open-drain RESET output can interface directly with a 1.8V µP reset input by connecting an external pullup resistor to the 1.8V rail. The datasheet confirms RESET output voltage HIGH (VOH) reaches 0.8 × VCC when sourcing 1µA - well above the 1.8V µP's VIH threshold. No level shifter is required, simplifying design and reducing BOM count.
Does MAX6414UK27+T include a manual reset input, and what are its key electrical characteristics?
Yes, MAX6414UK27+T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input. It features an internal 20kΩ pullup resistor, accepts logic-low pulses as short as 1µs, rejects glitches under 75ns, and introduces only 20ns delay from MR deassertion to RESET deassertion. This enables robust field-service reset using a simple momentary switch without external debounce components.
Is MAX6414UK27+T qualified for automotive applications, and what evidence supports this?
MAX6414UK27+T is not explicitly automotive-qualified; only variants with "/V" suffix (e.g., MAX6414UK27/V+T) are AEC-Q100 qualified. The +T suffix indicates RoHS-compliant lead-free packaging and operation from -40°C to +125°C, but does not imply automotive qualification. For automotive use, specify the /V+T version - MAX6414UK27+T is intended for industrial and medical applications requiring extended temperature range and high reliability.
