Product details
Overview
MAX6414UK38+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with fixed 3.8V VCC reset threshold, manual reset input (MR), and active-low open-drain RESET output. It monitors supply voltage in systems from 1.6V to 5V, asserts reset during brownout or manual trigger, and sustains reset for a capacitor-adjustable timeout period up to 5.75ms. Designed for automotive and industrial embedded controllers requiring reliable power-on reset and transient immunity.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6414UK38+T datasheet, MAX6414UK38+T pinout, MAX6414UK38+T application, or MAX6414UK38+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.8V fixed threshold accuracy (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1.7µA typical quiescent current at 2V, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, open-drain output compatibility with mixed-voltage µP interfaces, and AEC-Q100-qualified variants.
Technical Context
The MAX6414UK38+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring with factory-trimmed 3.8V threshold and 4×VTH hysteresis (≈15.2mV). Its SRT pin hosts a 240nA constant-current source charging an external capacitor to generate a programmable reset timeout - not a fixed internal timer.
Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below 3.8V (±2.5%), MR is pulled low, or both; deassertion requires VCC > 3.8V, MR high, and SRT capacitor ramping to 0.65V. The open-drain RESET output supports pull-up to voltages up to 6.0V, enabling interoperability with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V microprocessors without level-shifting.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 3.800V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures deterministic reset initiation across automotive temperature range |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7µA typ at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in portable/low-power systems |
| Reset Timeout Range | 0.275ms to 5.75ms (CSRT = 0F to 1500pF) - supports µP initialization timing from fast-boot to safety-critical delay requirements |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and interface to any logic supply ≤6.0V |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |

Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (U5+2A outline, RoHS-compliant, 5-pin surface-mount). Thermal resistance θJA = 255.9°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low active input with 20kΩ internal pullup; 1µs minimum pulse width; 75ns glitch rejection |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout capacitor terminal | 240nA constant-current source; connects to ground via CSRT to program tRP = (2.71×10⁶)×CSRT + 275µs |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage and monitored rail | Input for 3.8V threshold detection; also powers internal circuitry; valid operation from 1.0V to 5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise timing tuning (0.275–5.75ms) without trimming resistors or firmware changes |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep undervoltage events before µP 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold; push-pull active-low RESET; 1.1µA IQ; no manual reset input | Lacks MR pin and adjustable timeout; better for ultra-low-IQ designs where 3.3V threshold suffices | Select if 3.3V threshold is acceptable and manual reset is unnecessary; verify µP reset input tolerates push-pull drive |
| ADM6315-38ARTZ-R7 | Fixed 3.8V threshold; open-drain RESET; 1.5µA IQ; no manual reset; no capacitor-adjustable timeout (fixed 200ms) | Provides fixed long timeout ideal for slow-start power supplies; lacks MR and SRT flexibility | Choose when predictable long-duration reset is required and manual intervention is not needed |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6414UK38+T?
The MAX6414UK38+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 3.800V, with ±1.25% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is confirmed by Table 1 (suffix "38") and Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet, where VTH = 3.705V (min), 3.800V (typ), 3.895V (max) at TA = -40°C to +125°C.
Does the MAX6414UK38+T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6414UK38+T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input on Pin 3. Pulling MR low asserts the active-low RESET output for the full timeout period after release. It features an internal 20kΩ pullup resistor, allowing direct connection of a momentary switch to ground without external components. MR accepts logic-low pulses as short as 1µs with 75ns glitch rejection.
What type of reset output does the MAX6414UK38+T provide?
The MAX6414UK38+T provides an active-low open-drain RESET output on Pin 1. This allows the output to be pulled up to any voltage between 0V and 6.0V, enabling direct interface with microprocessors operating at 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V logic levels without additional level-shifting circuitry. The output sinks 50µA with VOL ≤ 0.3V when VCC ≥ 1.0V.
How is the reset timeout period set on the MAX6414UK38+T?
The reset timeout period on the MAX6414UK38+T is set by connecting an external capacitor (CSRT) between Pin 4 (SRT) and ground. The timeout follows tRP = (2.71 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, yielding 0.275ms (CSRT = 0F) to 5.75ms (CSRT = 1500pF). Ceramic capacitors with leakage <10nA are recommended to maintain timing accuracy.
Is the MAX6414UK38+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - while the base MAX6414UK38+T is rated for -40°C to +125°C, AEC-Q100-qualified automotive versions exist (e.g., MAX6414UK38/V+T). These undergo additional stress testing per AEC-Q100 Rev H and are marked with "/V" suffix. The datasheet explicitly states "AEC-Q100 Qualified" in Benefits and Features and lists /V parts in Ordering Information.
