Product details
Overview
MAX6420UK46+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC in SOT23-5 package, featuring a factory-trimmed 4.625V fixed VCC reset threshold and an adjustable RESET IN input (1.26V threshold) for monitoring secondary voltages down to 1.26V. It provides active-low open-drain RESET output with capacitor-adjustable timeout (275µs to 5.75ms), 1.7µA typical quiescent current, and guaranteed operation from -40°C to +125°C - used in automotive power management and battery-backed embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6420UK46+T datasheet, MAX6420UK46+T pinout, MAX6420UK46+T application, or MAX6420UK46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-threshold monitoring capability, open-drain logic compatibility with mixed-supply µPs, capacitor-programmable reset timeout, and AEC-Q100-qualified variants for automotive use.
Technical Context
The MAX6420UK46+T integrates two independent voltage monitoring paths: a laser-trimmed 4.625V ±2.5% fixed threshold for VCC and a high-impedance 1.26V ±33mV adjustable threshold input (RESET IN) for external voltage dividers. Reset assertion occurs if either voltage falls below its respective threshold or manual reset is triggered via external switch across RESET IN.
Its open-drain RESET output supports logic-level translation up to 5.5V, enabling interface with µPs operating at different supply rails. The reset timeout period is set by an external capacitor on SRT pin, driven by a 240nA precision ramp current sourcing into CSRT, with deassertion occurring when capacitor voltage reaches 0.65V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fixed VCC Threshold | 4.625V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection for 5V systems with tight tolerance |
| Adjustable Input Threshold | 1.26V ±33mV - enables precise dual-rail monitoring (e.g., 3.3V & 1.8V) using external resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to 5.75ms (CSRT = 0F to 1500pF) - programmable delay prevents premature µP release during supply stabilization |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7µA at VCC ≤ 2.0V - extends battery life in portable and always-on monitoring applications |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting to 0–5.5V logic domains |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Supply Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (U5+2A outline), 5-pin surface-mount, RoHS-compliant lead-free (+T suffix), 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 µP reset input low; requires external pullup; compatible with 0–5.5V logic supplies |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for internal comparators and ramp circuit; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - RESET IN | Adjustable threshold input | High-impedance node (10nA leakage); connects to center tap of resistor divider for secondary voltage monitoring |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout input | 240nA precision current source; connects to ground via timing capacitor (CSRT) to program tRP |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply and fixed-threshold monitor input | Supplies internal circuitry and feeds 4.625V comparator; valid reset asserted down to VCC = 1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of primary rail (4.625V) and secondary rail (via RESET IN) eliminates need for two discrete supervisors |
| Capacitor-programmable timeout | External CSRT sets exact reset hold time (275µs–5.75ms), avoiding fixed-delay limitations of standard reset ICs |
| Open-drain RESET output | Enables multi-drop reset bus and logic-level translation without level shifters - critical for mixed-voltage µP systems |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.7µA typ at 2V supply enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors and backup controllers |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Available in /V automotive-grade variants - validated for temperature cycling, ESD, and long-term reliability in vehicle ECUs |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold only; no adjustable input; push-pull output; 1.6µA IQ | Single-rail monitoring only; requires external circuitry for dual-voltage detection | Select when only primary rail supervision is needed and PCB space permits added resistors/dividers |
| ADM6315-46ARTZ-R7 | Fixed 4.63V threshold; no adjustable input; open-drain output; 2.5µA IQ; -40°C to +85°C | Lacks secondary rail monitoring; narrower temp range limits automotive/industrial use | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where extended temperature range is not required |

FAQ
What is the exact fixed reset threshold voltage of the MAX6420UK46+T?
The MAX6420UK46+T has a factory-laser-trimmed fixed VCC reset threshold of 4.625V, with ±2.5% accuracy over the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value corresponds to the "46" suffix per Table 1 in the datasheet, and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH parameter.
Does the MAX6420UK46+T support manual reset functionality?
The MAX6420UK46+T does not include a dedicated MR (manual reset) pin like the MAX6412–MAX6414 series. Instead, manual reset is implemented by connecting a momentary switch between RESET IN and ground - pulling RESET IN low triggers reset assertion, and the timeout period begins upon switch release, as described in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
Can the MAX6420UK46+T monitor a 3.3V rail as the secondary voltage?
Yes - the MAX6420UK46+T's RESET IN pin accepts an externally divided voltage. To monitor a 3.3V rail, use a resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 1.65MΩ, R2 = 1MΩ) to scale 3.3V down to 1.26V at RESET IN. The formula VMON_TH = 1.26 × (R1 + R2)/R2 ensures accurate threshold setting per the datasheet's Reset Threshold section.
What is the minimum capacitor value required for the SRT pin on the MAX6420UK46+T?
The SRT pin requires a low-leakage capacitor (≤10nA), typically ceramic. While no absolute minimum is specified, CSRT = 0F yields a 275µs timeout. For practical designs, ≥100pF is recommended to ensure stable ramping and noise immunity; values below 50pF may cause timing inaccuracy due to stray capacitance effects.
Is the MAX6420UK46+T qualified for automotive applications?
The base MAX6420UK46+T is rated for -40°C to +125°C operation and meets industrial reliability standards. Automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100) is available in /V variants such as MAX6420UK46/V+T - explicitly listed in the Ordering Information table and marked with "/V" suffix, indicating full stress testing for automotive environments.
