Product details
Overview
MAX6418UK16 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with one factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold (1.575V nominal, ±2.5% over temperature) and one adjustable RESET IN input (1.26V reference), push-pull active-low reset output, capacitor-adjustable timeout (275µs to 5.75ms), and SOT23-5 package. It monitors critical power rails in automotive and industrial embedded controllers during power-up, brownout, and transient events.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6418UK16 datasheet, MAX6418UK16 pinout, MAX6418UK16 application, or MAX6418UK16 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, dual-threshold monitoring behavior, reset timeout design equations, SOT23-5 terminal mapping, and AEC-Q100-qualified alternatives for automotive-grade system reliability validation.
Technical Context
The MAX6418UK16 integrates two independent reset comparators: one laser-trimmed for VCC (1.575V ±2.5%) and one referenced to a stable 1.26V internal bandgap for externally adjustable voltage monitoring via resistor divider. Its reset assertion logic triggers when either VCC or RESET IN falls below its respective threshold or MR is asserted - though MR is omitted in the MAX6418 series.
Reset deassertion is controlled by an internal 240nA current source charging an external capacitor (CSRT) on the SRT pin to a 0.65V ramp threshold; timeout is calculated as tRP = (2.71 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs. The push-pull RESET output guarantees valid logic down to VCC = 1V with VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fixed VCC Threshold | 1.575V (nominal), ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable power-on reset across automotive temperature range |
| Adjustable Reset Input Reference | 1.26V internal reference with 33mV hysteresis - enables precise monitoring of secondary rails (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V) using high-impedance resistor dividers |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs (CSRT = 0) to 5.75ms (CSRT = 1500pF) - supports μP reset timing requirements from fast-boot MCUs to safety-critical controllers |
| Supply Current | 1.7µA (typ) at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery operation in portable and remote sensor nodes |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull - drives standard CMOS μP reset inputs without external pull-up; VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - operates during deep brownout conditions and supports wide-input power architectures |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (5-pin, 1.6mm × 2.9mm, 0.95mm height), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel delivery. Pin 1 marked with dot; pin numbering follows standard SOT23 top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives μP reset input directly; sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V; guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1V |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuitry and external capacitor (CSRT); must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - RESET IN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance node (10nA leakage) for external resistor-divider; sets secondary rail threshold using VMON_TH = 1.26V × (R1+R2)/R2 |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout input | 240nA precision current source pin; connects to ground via CSRT capacitor; layout requires short trace and no nearby digital noise |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage and fixed-threshold monitor input | Powers device and feeds primary reset comparator; monitored at 1.575V threshold; absolute max 6.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC (1.575V) and external rail (via RESET IN) - eliminates need for two discrete supervisors in multi-rail systems |
| Capacitor-programmable timeout | External CSRT sets tRP from 275µs to >5ms using linear equation tRP = (2.71×10⁶)×CSRT + 275µs - enables precise timing alignment with μP boot sequence |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.7µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as telematics and ECU wake-up circuits |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: -40°C to +125°C) - meets reliability and stress-test requirements for automotive electronics |
| Brownout immunity | Guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V - prevents erratic μP operation during severe supply sag |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6420UK16-T | Same dual-threshold architecture but open-drain RESET output; requires external pull-up | Used where level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus required (e.g., multi-MCU systems) | Select when interfacing to mixed-voltage logic families or implementing shared reset busses |
| TPS3808G16DBVR | Fixed 1.6V VDD threshold only; no adjustable RESET IN; 200ms fixed timeout (non-adjustable) | Limited to single-rail monitoring; lacks flexibility for custom secondary rail thresholds | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-supply applications where capacitor programming is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6418UK16, MAX6420UK16-T provides identical dual-monitoring capability but trades push-pull drive for open-drain flexibility, while TPS3808G16DBVR sacrifices adjustability and dual-rail support for lower unit cost and simpler BOM - making MAX6418UK16 optimal for automotive and industrial designs requiring precise, field-configurable reset timing and rail coverage.

FAQ
What is the exact fixed reset threshold voltage for MAX6418UK16?
The MAX6418UK16 features a factory-laser-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 1.575V (nominal), with tolerance of ±1.25% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This value corresponds to suffix "16" in Table 1 of the datasheet and is guaranteed by production test and design correlation.
Does MAX6418UK16 include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the MAX6418UK16 does not include a manual reset (MR) input. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description, only MAX6412/MAX6413/MAX6414 variants have MR; MAX6418/MAX6419/MAX6420 replace MR with RESET IN for dual-voltage monitoring. Therefore, MAX6418UK16 relies solely on VCC and RESET IN threshold violations to assert reset.
How do I calculate the external capacitor value for a 3.5ms reset timeout with MAX6418UK16?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP − 275µs) / 2.71×10⁶, where tRP = 3.5ms = 0.0035s. Substituting gives CSRT = (0.0035 − 0.000275) / 2,710,000 ≈ 1190pF. A standard 1200pF ceramic capacitor (X7R, <10nA leakage) meets this requirement and yields ~3.52ms timeout per typical operating characteristics.
Is MAX6418UK16 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6418UK16 is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1, −40°C to +125°C) as confirmed in the Benefits and Features section and Ordering Information. While /V-suffixed parts denote explicit automotive qualification, the base MAX6418UK16-T and MAX6418UK16+T variants are fully specified and tested across the same temperature range and reliability stress profiles.
What is the maximum recommended leakage current for the CSRT capacitor used with MAX6418UK16?
The CSRT capacitor for MAX6418UK16 must exhibit leakage current less than 10nA to prevent timing error. Ceramic capacitors (X7R, C0G/NP0) are explicitly recommended in the datasheet; tantalum or electrolytic types are unsuitable due to higher leakage. Layout best practices also require minimizing PCB trace leakage around the SRT pin.
