Product details
Overview
MAX6415UK+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with adjustable reset threshold, capacitor-programmable timeout, and active-low push-pull reset output. It monitors external voltages down to 1.26V using an external resistor divider, draws only 1.7µA typical supply current, operates from -40°C to +125°C, and is housed in a SOT23-5 package. It is used in battery-powered controllers requiring precise brownout detection and reliable power-on reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6415UK+T datasheet, MAX6415UK+T pinout, MAX6415UK+T application, or MAX6415UK+T equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed pin roles, exact reset threshold behavior (1.26V adjustable input), guaranteed VCC ≥1V reset validity, and real-world dual-supply design context for embedded and automotive systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6415UK+T implements a high-impedance adjustable reset comparator referenced to a 1.26V internal threshold, enabling external voltage monitoring via resistor-divider networks. Its reset timeout is set by a 240nA current source charging an external capacitor (SRT pin) to a 0.65V ramp threshold - yielding programmable delays from 275µs to >5ms.
Unlike fixed-threshold variants, it omits manual reset (MR) and factory-trimmed VCC threshold, instead dedicating RESET IN as the sole adjustable monitoring input. Its active-low push-pull RESET output guarantees logic validity down to VCC = 1V and supports direct interface to µP reset inputs without pull-up resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Input Threshold | 1.26V nominal; sets minimum detectable voltage on RESET IN pin via external resistor divider |
| Supply Current | 1.7µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V; enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered systems |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to 5.75ms (with CSRT = 0F to 1500pF); accommodates diverse µP reset timing requirements |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull; drives µP reset pin directly without external pull-up, sinking 50µA at 0.3V max VOL |

Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Portable Medical Sensor Node |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 3.3V MCU supply and 1.8V sensor rail in a battery-powered telematics unit exposed to engine-bay temperatures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-voltage supervisor detecting brownout on either rail and asserting reset for ≥4ms to ensure full MCU initialization.

Use Scenario: Supervises isolated 5V fieldbus power and 3.3V logic supply in a DIN-rail mounted controller operating at 85°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-point reset generator triggered by either supply sag; uses 1nF SRT capacitor for 3.5ms timeout. Use Value: Ensures deterministic recovery after line surges; -40°C to +125°C rating eliminates derating concerns in uncooled enclosures. | Use Scenario: Detects undervoltage on 2.5V RTC backup supply and 3.3V metering SoC rail in a utility-grade electricity meter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets metering processor when backup supply falls below 2.4V, preventing incorrect kWh accumulation during outage. Use Value: Meets IEC 62053-21 accuracy requirements by guaranteeing reset assertion before voltage crosses critical data-retention threshold. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6416UK+T | Active-high push-pull RESET output; identical threshold, timeout, and pinout | Requires µP with active-high reset input; incompatible with standard active-low reset designs | Select when host µP mandates high-asserted reset signal and layout cannot accommodate inversion |
| TLV809E29DBVR | Fixed 2.93V reset threshold; no adjustable input or capacitor-programmable timeout; SOT23-3 package | Limited to single-supply monitoring; lacks flexibility for custom thresholds or timing | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where 2.93V threshold matches system requirement |
Compared with MAX6415UK+T, MAX6416UK+T offers identical supervision capability but inverted reset polarity, while TLV809E29DBVR trades adjustability and timeout flexibility for lower cost and smaller footprint in fixed-threshold use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6415UK+T?
The MAX6415UK+T does not have a fixed reset threshold. Its RESET IN pin compares the applied voltage against an internal 1.26V reference. The effective threshold is set externally using a resistor divider: VMON_TH = 1.26V × (R1 + R2)/R2. For example, with R1 = 1.24MΩ and R2 = 1MΩ, the threshold becomes 2.80V. This adjustable architecture allows precise matching to any system rail.
How do I calculate the reset timeout capacitor value for the MAX6415UK+T?
To achieve a desired reset timeout tRP (in seconds), use the formula CSRT = (tRP − 275µs) / 2.71×10⁶, where CSRT is in farads. For a 4ms timeout: CSRT = (0.004 − 0.000275) / 2,710,000 ≈ 1375pF. Use a low-leakage ceramic capacitor (≤10nA) placed close to the SRT pin, as stray capacitance or leakage will directly impact timing accuracy.
Does the MAX6415UK+T monitor its own VCC supply?
No, the MAX6415UK+T does not include a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold. Unlike MAX6412/MAX6418 variants, it is designed exclusively for monitoring external voltages via the RESET IN pin. VCC serves only as the power supply; reset assertion depends solely on the voltage at RESET IN falling below the programmed threshold.
Can the MAX6415UK+T be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the MAX6415UK+T is rated for -40°C to +125°C operation and is available in AEC-Q100 qualified versions (e.g., MAX6415UK/V+T). While the base MAX6415UK+T meets temperature and reliability requirements for many automotive subsystems, official AEC-Q100 certification requires the /V suffix and corresponding qualification documentation from Analog Devices.
What is the maximum leakage current specification for the RESET IN pin of the MAX6415UK+T?
The RESET IN pin leakage current for the MAX6415UK+T is specified as 10nA maximum across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This ultra-low leakage enables use of high-value resistor dividers (e.g., 10MΩ total) without introducing significant threshold error, preserving accuracy while minimizing current draw in battery-powered systems.
