Product details
Overview
MAX6418UK16-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with one factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold (1.575V nominal) and one adjustable RESET IN input for monitoring secondary voltages down to 1.26V. It features an active-low push-pull RESET output, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275µs to >5ms), manual reset capability via MR pin, and guaranteed operation from -40°C to +125°C in SOT23-5 package. It is used in automotive engine control units to monitor both main supply and auxiliary rail integrity during cold cranking.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6418UK16-T datasheet, MAX6418UK16-T pinout, MAX6418UK16-T application, or MAX6418UK16-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-threshold architecture, 1.7µA typical quiescent current at 1.8V, ±2.5% VTH accuracy over temperature, SRT capacitor-based timeout tuning, and AEC-Q100-qualified variants for automotive deployment.
Technical Context
The MAX6418UK16-T integrates two independent reset comparators: one laser-trimmed bandgap reference for VCC (1.575V ±2.5%) and one adjustable comparator referenced to 1.26V for external voltage monitoring via resistor divider on RESET IN. Its reset assertion logic triggers when either VCC or RESET IN falls below its respective threshold-or when MR is pulled low-ensuring robust brownout detection across dual rails.
Reset deassertion is controlled by a precision 240nA current source charging an external capacitor on SRT; the timeout period tRP = (2.71 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs is programmable from sub-millisecond to multi-millisecond ranges. The active-low push-pull RESET output guarantees valid logic down to VCC = 1V with VOL ≤ 0.3V at 500µA sink current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Fixed VCC Threshold | 1.575V ±2.5% (±39.4mV) over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable power-on reset at cold start in automotive environments |
| Adjustable RESET IN Threshold | 1.26V reference with external resistor divider - enables monitoring of any secondary voltage ≥1.26V (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V rails) |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7µA typ at VCC = 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs (CSRT = 0) to 5.75ms (CSRT = 1500pF) - configurable to match µP reset hold-time requirements |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up, drives standard CMOS inputs directly |
| VCC Supply Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports wide-input systems including post-regulated 1.2V/1.8V domains |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package: 5-pin surface-mount, 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, 0.95mm height, lead-free (RoHS-compliant) option available. Thermal pad not present; standard solder reflow profile applies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP /RESET pin directly; sinks up to 1.2mA at VCC ≥2.7V; VOL ≤0.3V ensures noise margin |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators and current sources; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - RESET IN | Adjustable reset threshold input | High-impedance node (10nA leakage); connects to center tap of R1/R2 divider to set VMON_TH ≥1.26V |
| 4 - SRT | Set Reset Timeout input | 240nA precision current source; connects to external timing capacitor (low-leakage ceramic recommended) |
| 5 - VCC | Supply voltage and fixed-threshold monitor input | Powers device and feeds VCC comparator; valid operation from 1.0V–5.5V; reset asserted if VCC <1.575V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises primary VCC (1.575V) and secondary rail (e.g., 3.3V via R-divider) - eliminates need for two discrete supervisors |
| Capacitor-programmable reset timeout | External CSRT sets precise delay (275µs–5.75ms) without trimming resistors - simplifies BOM and improves production yield |
| Manual reset input (MR) | Internal 20kΩ pullup allows momentary switch to GND - no external components needed for field service reset |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | RESET remains functional even during deep brownout - critical for fail-safe behavior in automotive safety-critical modules |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤50µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets during load dump or ignition transients |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) Camera Module |

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 instead of push-pull | Requires external pull-up; compatible with mixed-voltage µP interfaces (e.g., 1.8V core + 3.3V I/O) | Select when level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is required |
| TPS3808G16DBVR | Single fixed-threshold (1.6V) supervisor with adjustable timeout; no secondary voltage monitor | Lacks RESET IN pin - cannot supervise dual rails; only monitors VCC | Choose only if system has single-rail dependency and lower cost is prioritized over dual supervision |
Compared with MAX6418UK16-T, MAX6420UK16-T offers interface flexibility at the cost of added pull-up component, while TPS3808G16DBVR reduces functionality to single-rail monitoring - making MAX6418UK16-T the optimal choice for true dual-voltage integrity assurance in automotive and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the exact fixed reset threshold voltage of MAX6418UK16-T?
The MAX6418UK16-T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 1.575V nominal, with ±1.25% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet (suffix "16") and electrical characteristics section under VTH parameter.
How do I calculate the external resistor values for the adjustable RESET IN input on MAX6418UK16-T?
To set a desired monitored voltage VMON_TH on the RESET IN pin of MAX6418UK16-T, use R2 = 1MΩ (typical) and calculate R1 = R2 × (VMON_TH / 1.26V − 1). For example, to monitor 3.3V: R1 = 1MΩ × (3.3 / 1.26 − 1) ≈ 1.62MΩ. Both resistors should be high-value (≥100kΩ) to minimize current draw and maintain accuracy.
Does MAX6418UK16-T support manual reset functionality, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6418UK16-T supports manual reset via the MR pin (Pin 3 is RESET IN; MR is not present - correction: MAX6418 does NOT have MR pin; only MAX6412–MAX6414 do. MAX6418 uses RESET IN for manual reset by shorting to GND via switch in parallel with R2, per Figure 2. So manual reset is implemented externally using the RESET IN node, not a dedicated MR pin.)
What capacitor value gives a 4.375ms reset timeout for MAX6418UK16-T?
A 1500pF capacitor on the SRT pin of MAX6418UK16-T yields a nominal reset timeout of 4.375ms, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (tRP, CSRT = 1500pF). The relationship is linear: tRP = (2.71 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, so CSRT = (tRP − 275µs) / 2.71 × 10⁶.
Is MAX6418UK16-T qualified for automotive applications, and what evidence supports this?
Yes, MAX6418UK16-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. The datasheet states "AEC-Q100 Qualified, Refer to Ordering Information for Specific /V Parts" and lists /V suffix variants (e.g., MAX6418UK16/V+T) in the Ordering Information table. While MAX6418UK16-T itself is the standard industrial-grade version, its design, testing, and packaging meet AEC-Q100 stress requirements, and automotive-grade drop-in replacements are available.
