Product details
Overview
MAX6415UK-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, adjustable-threshold microprocessor supervisor IC in SOT23-5 package, designed to monitor external supply voltages down to 1.26V using an external resistor divider and assert an active-low push-pull reset signal. It features capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275µs to 5.75ms), 1.7µA typical quiescent current at 2V, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for automotive and industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6415UK-T datasheet, MAX6415UK-T pinout, MAX6415UK-T application, or MAX6415UK-T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, exact pin functions, dual-voltage monitoring capability context, reset timeout design equations, and validated alternative parts for brownout protection and μP reset management in battery-powered and safety-critical systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6415UK-T implements a precision 1.26V internal reference with high-impedance RESET IN comparator, enabling externally adjustable voltage monitoring via resistor-divider networks. Its SRT pin sources a stable 240nA ramp current to charge an external capacitor, determining reset timeout duration with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature.
It lacks a manual reset (MR) input and fixed VCC threshold - unlike MAX6412–MAX6414 - and instead dedicates Pin 3 exclusively to RESET IN for flexible voltage detection. The active-low push-pull RESET output drives µP reset inputs directly without external pull-up, supporting logic compatibility from 1.0V to 5.5V VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.26V internal reference; enables monitoring of external voltages ≥1.26V via resistor divider (e.g., 3.3V rail at 10:1 ratio) |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7µA typ at VCC = 2.0V; enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and portable medical devices |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to 5.75ms (CSRT = 0F to 1500pF); supports µP power-up timing requirements from fast-boot MCUs to legacy 8051 derivatives |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; ensures valid reset assertion during deep brownout conditions where VCC drops below 1.8V |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull; eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and guarantees VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 500µA |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial PLC I/O cards |
| Package | SOT23-5; 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 surface-mount package with exposed pad option not specified; 5-pin configuration optimized for minimal board area and thermal performance in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP /RESET pin directly; sinks up to 1.2mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.3V; no external pull-up required |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal bias currents and SRT ramp current; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 - RESET IN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance node (leakage <10nA) connected to center tap of external resistor divider; sets monitored voltage threshold |
| 4 - SRT | Set Reset Timeout input | 240nA constant-current source pin; connects to ground via CSRT capacitor to program reset timeout period |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage and VCC monitor reference | Power input (1.0V–5.5V); also monitored internally for VCC brownout detection with 2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable voltage monitoring | Supports custom reset thresholds ≥1.26V using high-value resistors (e.g., 1MΩ/10MΩ), minimizing divider current to <1µA |
| Capacitor-programmable timeout | Linear tRP = (2.71×10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs enables precise matching to µP reset timing requirements without firmware changes |
| Low-VCC reset validity | Guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1.0V ensures reliable boot sequencing even during severe brownout events |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤50µs duration when overdrive is ≤100mV below threshold, preventing spurious resets in noisy environments |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Available in /V automotive-grade variants (e.g., MAX6415UK/V+T); meets stress testing requirements for automotive ECUs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB29DBZR | Fixed 2.93V threshold; no adjustable RESET IN; 350nA IQ; SOT23-3 package | Lacks external voltage monitoring capability; suitable only for single-rail VCC supervision | Select when only VCC monitoring is needed and board space allows SOT23-3; not interchangeable for dual-rail or custom-threshold use cases |
| ADM6315-30ARTZ-RL7 | Fixed 3.08V threshold; 1.6µA IQ; open-drain RESET; requires external pull-up | No adjustable input; open-drain output limits drive strength and increases BOM count | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 3.08V VCC supervision suffices and pull-up resistor is acceptable; incompatible with push-pull RESET routing |
Compared with TLV803EB29DBZR and ADM6315-30ARTZ-RL7, the MAX6415UK-T uniquely supports externally adjustable voltage monitoring without additional components, delivers push-pull drive eliminating pull-up dependencies, and maintains guaranteed reset functionality down to 1.0V VCC - critical for brownout resilience in automotive and portable systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the SRT pin on the MAX6415UK-T?
The SRT pin on the MAX6415UK-T is a constant-current source (240nA) used to charge an external capacitor (CSRT) to ground, thereby setting the reset timeout period. The formula tRP = (2.71 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs defines the relationship, allowing precise adjustment from 275µs to 5.75ms. This pin must be routed with minimal trace length and shielded from noise to avoid timing errors in the MAX6415UK-T.
Can the MAX6415UK-T monitor a 5V supply rail?
Yes, the MAX6415UK-T can monitor a 5V supply rail using an external resistor divider connected to the RESET IN pin. With its 1.26V internal reference, a 5V rail requires R1 ≈ 2.97MΩ and R2 = 1MΩ (VMON_TH = 1.26 × (R1 + R2)/R2). The MAX6415UK-T's high-impedance input (<10nA leakage) ensures negligible loading, preserving accuracy and power efficiency in the MAX6415UK-T application.
Does the MAX6415UK-T have a manual reset input?
No, the MAX6415UK-T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. Unlike MAX6412–MAX6414 variants, it is designed exclusively for adjustable external voltage monitoring and lacks MR functionality. To implement manual reset, a normally open switch can be placed in parallel with R2 in the RESET IN divider network - closing the switch pulls RESET IN to ground and triggers reset, as documented for the MAX6415UK-T family.
What is the minimum VCC required for valid RESET assertion in the MAX6415UK-T?
The MAX6415UK-T guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, meaning the active-low output remains logically low and capable of sinking ≥50µA while VCC is as low as 1.0V. Below 1.0V, output drive degrades significantly; for applications requiring reset validity down to 0V, an external 100kΩ pulldown resistor on the RESET pin is recommended per Maxim's application guidance for the MAX6415UK-T.
Is the MAX6415UK-T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6412–MAX6420 family?
No, the MAX6415UK-T is not pin-compatible with MAX6412/MAX6413/MAX6414 or MAX6418/MAX6419/MAX6420 variants. While all share the SOT23-5 package, Pin 3 is RESET IN (adjustable) in MAX6415UK-T but MR (manual reset) in MAX6412–MAX6414 and dual-function in MAX6418–MAX6420. Swapping parts without layout revision will cause functional failure in the MAX6415UK-T circuit implementation.
