Product details
Overview
MAX6420UK22+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC in SOT23-5 package, featuring a factory-trimmed 2.2V fixed VCC reset threshold and an adjustable RESET IN input (1.26V threshold) for monitoring secondary voltages. It provides active-low open-drain reset output with capacitor-adjustable timeout (275µs to >5ms), guaranteed valid reset operation down to VCC = 1V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C. It is used in automotive power management systems to ensure reliable μP restart during brownout conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6420UK22+T datasheet, MAX6420UK22+T pinout, MAX6420UK22+T application, or MAX6420UK22+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-threshold architecture, open-drain output compatibility with mixed-supply logic, AEC-Q100 qualification (per /V variants), capacitor-programmable reset delay, and guaranteed reset validity at VCC ≥ 1V - critical for battery-backed and automotive embedded controllers.
Technical Context
The MAX6420UK22+T integrates two independent reset comparators: one monitors VCC against a laser-trimmed 2.2V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), while the second monitors an external voltage via RESET IN using a 1.26V internal reference and external resistor divider. Reset assertion occurs if either input falls below its threshold or manual reset is triggered (though MR is omitted in MAX6420).
Its open-drain RESET output supports level-shifting across supply domains (0–5.5V pull-up), and the SRT pin sources a precise 240nA current to charge an external capacitor, generating a programmable timeout period (tRP = 2.71×10⁶ × CSRT + 275µs). The device draws only 1.7µA typical supply current at VCC ≤ 2.0V and maintains immunity to transients ≤ 50µs when VCC dips 100mV below threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fixed VCC Threshold | 2.200V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection for 2.2V–2.5V core rails. |
| Adjustable Input Threshold | 1.26V internal reference - enables monitoring of secondary supplies (e.g., 3.3V, 5V) via external resistor divider. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and interface to higher-voltage µP reset inputs (up to 5.5V). |
| Supply Current | 1.7µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - minimizes quiescent load in battery-critical applications like telematics modules. |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs (no capacitor) to >5.75ms (1500pF) - supports wide range of µP reset timing requirements without firmware dependency. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| VCC Validity Limit | RESET guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1.0V - prevents undefined reset state during deep brownout recovery. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (U5+2A outline), 5-pin surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 255.9°C/W (multi-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives low to assert reset; requires external pull-up to system reset rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V); compatible with mixed-voltage µPs. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal comparators, SRT current source, and RESET driver; must be low-impedance. |
| 3 - RESET IN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance node (10nA leakage); connects to center tap of resistor divider to set secondary voltage threshold (e.g., 3.3V @ 1.26V ref). |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout current source | 240nA constant current source; connect external capacitor to GND to program timeout; sensitive to PCB leakage and noise. |
| 5 - VCC | Supply and primary monitor input | Powers device and feeds fixed 2.2V reset comparator; functional down to 1.0V; monitors core supply directly. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises VCC (2.2V fixed) and external rail (via RESET IN), enabling single-chip protection for multi-rail systems like ADAS domain controllers. |
| Capacitor-programmable reset timeout | Eliminates need for internal timer circuitry; allows field-tunable delay (275µs–5.75ms) using standard ceramic capacitors - simplifies compliance with diverse µP reset timing specs. |
| Open-drain RESET with wide voltage tolerance | Supports pull-up to any supply between 0V and 5.5V, enabling direct interface to legacy 5V µPs or modern 1.8V/3.3V logic without level shifters. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified variants available | MAX6420UK22/V+T is automotive-qualified; this MAX6420UK22+T shares identical electrical specs and packaging - suitable for pre-qualification design-in. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.7µA typical at low VCC enables >10-year battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., CAN gateway wake-up supervisors). |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Medical Infusion Pump Controller |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6420UK22/V+T | AEC-Q100 qualified; identical electrical specs, same SOT23-5 package and pinout; differs only in automotive-grade screening and traceability. | Required for production automotive ECUs; not needed for industrial or medical prototypes. | Select MAX6420UK22/V+T for final automotive designs; MAX6420UK22+T is ideal for pre-qualification evaluation and non-automotive use. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V VDD monitor only; no adjustable input; push-pull active-low RESET; 35µA ICC; 200ms min timeout (non-adjustable). | Lacks dual-rail capability; unsuitable where secondary voltage supervision is required. | Use only when monitoring a single 3.3V rail and fixed long timeout suffices; cannot replace MAX6420UK22+T in dual-supply systems. |
Compared with MAX6420UK22/V+T, the MAX6420UK22+T offers identical performance and footprint but omits automotive qualification - making it lower-cost for industrial prototyping. Versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds adjustable secondary monitoring and capacitor-tunable timing, enabling more flexible and compact multi-rail supervision.

FAQ
What is the fixed reset threshold voltage of the MAX6420UK22+T?
The MAX6420UK22+T has a factory-laser-trimmed fixed VCC reset threshold of 2.200V, 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 the Electrical Characteristics table and corresponds to the "22" suffix in the part number per the Reset Voltages Suffix Table.
Does the MAX6420UK22+T include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the MAX6420UK22+T does not include a manual reset input. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description, MAX6420 belongs to the dual-threshold subgroup (fixed + adjustable) and omits the MR pin - unlike MAX6412–MAX6414. Reset is asserted only by VCC falling below 2.2V or RESET IN falling below its programmed threshold.
How is the reset timeout period set on the MAX6420UK22+T?
The reset timeout period on the MAX6420UK22+T is set by connecting an external capacitor (CSRT) between the SRT pin and GND. The timeout follows tRP = (2.71 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, where CSRT is in farads and tRP in seconds. For example, a 1500pF capacitor yields 4.375ms typical timeout, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
What is the function of the RESET IN pin on the MAX6420UK22+T?
The RESET IN pin on the MAX6420UK22+T is a high-impedance input (10nA leakage) that connects to the center node of an external resistor divider. It interfaces with the internal 1.26V reference to monitor a secondary voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). When that voltage drops below the programmed threshold, the device asserts RESET - enabling true dual-voltage supervision in a single SOT23-5 package.
Is the MAX6420UK22+T compatible with AEC-Q100 automotive requirements?
The MAX6420UK22+T itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified; however, the functionally identical MAX6420UK22/V+T variant is certified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40°C to +150°C). Both share identical electrical specifications, pinout, and SOT23-5 packaging. MAX6420UK22+T is suitable for automotive design-in and pre-qualification testing, with seamless migration to /V+T for production.
