Product details
Overview
The MAX6420UK33+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC in SOT23-5 package, featuring a factory-trimmed 3.3V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over temperature), an adjustable RESET IN input (1.26V reference), and active-low open-drain RESET output. It monitors both core supply (VCC) and auxiliary rail (e.g., I/O or analog supply) with capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275µs to 5.75ms), and operates across -40°C to +125°C for automotive and industrial embedded control.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6420UK33+T datasheet, MAX6420UK33+T pinout, MAX6420UK33+T application, or MAX6420UK33+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail monitoring capability, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, 1.7µA typical quiescent current at 1.8V, and AEC-Q100-qualified variants for automotive use - all validated for brownout immunity and transient rejection in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6420UK33+T implements dual-threshold supervision: a laser-trimmed 3.3V fixed threshold for VCC monitoring and a high-impedance 1.26V reference input (RESET IN) for externally adjustable voltage detection via resistor divider. Reset assertion occurs when either VCC falls below 3.3V or RESET IN falls below its programmed threshold, with manual reset support via external switch parallel to R2.
Its reset timeout is generated by a precision 240nA internal ramp current charging an external capacitor (SRT-to-GND), requiring <10nA leakage capacitance (ceramic recommended); deassertion occurs when ramp voltage reaches 0.65V. The open-drain RESET output supports logic-level translation up to 5.5V and is compatible with µP reset inputs requiring active-low assertion with pullup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 3.30V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable power-up sequencing for 3.3V systems with brownout margin |
| RESET IN Reference Voltage | 1.26V ±33mV hysteresis - enables precise external voltage monitoring (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V rails) using high-value resistors |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7µA typical at VCC = 1.8V - extends battery life in portable and always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to 5.75ms (CSRT = 0F to 1500pF) - configurable delay prevents premature µP release during slow-rising supplies |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and medical equipment environments |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and interface to multiple logic families (0–5.5V pullup) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (U5+2A outline, RoHS-compliant, 5-pin surface-mount). Thermal resistance θJA = 255.9°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output; requires external pullup; sinks ≥500µA at VCC ≥ 2.7V for robust µP reset assertion |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into sensitive comparators |
| 3 | RESET IN | High-impedance input (10nA leakage) for adjustable threshold; connects to center tap of resistor divider for external rail monitoring |
| 4 | SRT | Set Reset Timeout input; drives 240nA constant current into external capacitor; trace must be short and isolated from digital noise |
| 5 | VCC | Supply input and fixed-threshold monitor input; powers internal circuitry and provides reference for 3.3V VCC supervision |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises 3.3V VCC and user-defined auxiliary rail (e.g., 1.8V/2.5V) without additional components |
| Capacitor-adjustable timeout | Enables precise reset hold time tuning (275µs–5.75ms) to match µP reset timing requirements across voltage ramps |
| Low-power operation | 1.7µA typical ICC at 1.8V enables multi-year battery life in remote sensors and wearables |
| Open-drain RESET output | Supports level-shifting to 5.5V logic and wired-OR reset bus configurations for system-wide reset coordination |
| Brownout immunity | Rejects transients ≤50µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets during switching noise or load dumps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6418UK33+T | Active-low push-pull RESET output; no external pullup required; same 3.3V/adjustable dual-threshold architecture | Preferred where µP reset pin requires driven high/low (no pullup needed) and board space permits slightly higher drive strength | Select MAX6418UK33+T if system lacks pullup resistor and µP accepts push-pull RESET; otherwise MAX6420UK33+T offers greater interface flexibility |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold only; no adjustable RESET IN; 350ms min timeout (non-adjustable); 2.5µA ICC | Suitable for single-rail systems where auxiliary rail monitoring is unnecessary and fixed long timeout suffices | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive single-supply designs lacking dual-rail requirements; MAX6420UK33+T is mandatory for dual-voltage supervision |
Compared with MAX6418UK33+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6420UK33+T uniquely delivers open-drain flexibility for mixed-voltage systems and true dual-rail monitoring - critical for designs requiring coordinated reset across disparate supply domains without added components.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6420UK33+T?
The MAX6420UK33+T has a factory-laser-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 3.30V, 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 suffix "33" per the Reset Voltages Suffix Table in the datasheet.
Does MAX6420UK33+T support monitoring a second voltage besides VCC?
Yes, the MAX6420UK33+T supports dual-voltage monitoring: its RESET IN pin accepts an externally programmed threshold using a resistor divider referenced to a precise 1.26V internal comparator. This enables supervision of auxiliary rails such as 1.8V, 2.5V, or 5V, independent of the 3.3V VCC threshold.
What type of capacitor should be used on the SRT pin of MAX6420UK33+T?
The SRT pin of MAX6420UK33+T requires a low-leakage ceramic capacitor (<10nA) with stable dielectric properties (e.g., X7R or C0G). Typical values range from 0pF (for minimum 275µs timeout) to 1500pF (for ~5.75ms timeout); avoid electrolytic or high-leakage film types which distort timing accuracy.
Is MAX6420UK33+T qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX6420UK33+T itself is not automotive-qualified; however, the MAX6420UK33/V+T variant is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (-40°C to +125°C) and specified for automotive use. Always verify ordering code suffix "/V" for automotive compliance - standard MAX6420UK33+T is industrial-grade.
How does the open-drain RESET output of MAX6420UK33+T interface with different logic levels?
The open-drain RESET output of MAX6420UK33+T can be pulled up to any voltage from 0V to 5.5V, enabling direct interface with 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V microprocessors without level shifters. Its 500µA sink capability at VCC ≥ 2.7V ensures robust low-state assertion across logic families.
