Product details
Overview
MAX6422US22+T from Analog Devices is a low-power, active-high push-pull microprocessor supervisor IC that monitors VCC supply voltage and asserts a reset signal when voltage falls below 2.188V (typical), with capacitor-adjustable timeout (3.0–5.75ms at CSRT = 1500pF), guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V, and 1.6µA typical quiescent current - used in battery-powered controllers and portable equipment for reliable power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6422US22+T datasheet, MAX6422US22+T pinout, MAX6422US22+T application, or MAX6422US22+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.188V reset threshold accuracy (±2.5% over temperature), SC70-4/SOT143-4 package compatibility, active-high push-pull output drive capability (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC), and immunity to sub-50µs VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6422US22+T implements a precision voltage-detection comparator with laser-trimmed internal resistors to set its 2.188V nominal reset threshold, coupled with a 240nA SRT pin ramp current source that charges an external capacitor to generate the reset timeout delay. Its active-high push-pull output ensures direct interface with µP reset inputs without external pullups.
It operates across -40°C to +125°C, maintains valid RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V, and features hysteresis of 4×VTH (≈8.75mV) to prevent chatter during slow VCC transitions. The device uses BiCMOS process technology and integrates 295 transistors for low leakage and stable threshold performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.188V (typ), ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for 2.2V nominal systems |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA (typ) at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Timeout | 3.0–5.75ms (at CSRT = 1500pF) - adjustable via external capacitor to match µP reset timing requirements |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - drives RESET high directly; no external pullup required; sinks 500µA at VCC ≥ 1.8V |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports wide input rails including single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and 3.3V/5V logic domains |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 80µs (VCC falling at 1mV/µs) - ensures fast response to supply collapse before µP executes invalid code |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial embedded environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6422US22+T is packaged in a 4-pin SC70 (X4+1) or SOT143 (U4+1) surface-mount package, both 1.25mm × 1.65mm footprint, 0.95mm height, lead-free (RoHS-compliant), tape-and-reel delivery.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SC70) / 3 (SOT143) | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives µP reset input high during normal operation; pulls low during reset |
| 2 (SC70) / 1 (SOT143) | GND | Analog ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane with low-impedance path |
| 3 (SC70) / 2 (SOT143) | VCC | Supply voltage and monitored rail - powers device and provides input for threshold comparison |
| 4 (SC70) / 4 (SOT143) | SRT | Set-reset-time input - connects to external capacitor (CSRT) to program timeout period per tRP = 2.73×10⁶×CSRT + 275µs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise matching to µP reset hold time requirements across diverse platforms using one standard part |

Use Value: Ensures deterministic recovery after power interruption, maintaining functional safety integrity without external watchdog intervention. |
Use Scenario: An ultrasound probe with integrated FPGA and analog front-end requires fail-safe startup under variable battery conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6422US22+T monitors the 2.2V analog supply and asserts active-high RESET to hold FPGA configuration logic until stable power is confirmed. Use Value: Guarantees correct initialization sequence and avoids corrupted image acquisition due to premature clock enable. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6421US22+T | Active-low push-pull RESET output; identical threshold, timeout, and package | Requires inverted logic interface - suitable where host µP accepts active-low reset only | Select when system design mandates active-low reset signaling and no level-shifting is desired |
| MAX6424UK22+T | 5-pin SOT23-5 package; same 2.188V threshold and active-high push-pull output | Larger footprint and different pinout - not drop-in compatible; requires PCB redesign | Choose only if SOT23-5 layout is already committed and SC70/SOT143 space constraints prohibit 4-pin variants |
Compared with MAX6421US22+T and MAX6424UK22+T, the MAX6422US22+T uniquely combines active-high push-pull drive with ultra-small SC70/SOT143 packaging - enabling compact, low-power designs where logic polarity and board area are critical constraints.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6422US22+T?
The MAX6422US22+T has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.188V, with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and specified in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "22".
Does the MAX6422US22+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX6422US22+T features an active-high push-pull RESET output, so it actively drives high and low without needing an external pullup. This eliminates BOM cost and board space associated with discrete resistors and simplifies interface to µP reset inputs expecting active-high signals.
How do I calculate the external capacitor value for a specific reset timeout with the MAX6422US22+T?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP − 275µs) / 2.735×10⁶, where tRP is the desired timeout in seconds and CSRT is in farads. For example, a 4.375ms timeout requires CSRT = (0.004375 − 0.000275) / 2.735×10⁶ = 1500pF. Ceramic capacitors with <10nA leakage are recommended.
Can the MAX6422US22+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX6422US22+T guarantees valid RESET output operation down to VCC = 1.0V, including proper threshold detection and push-pull drive strength. At VCC = 1.2V, VOH remains ≥ 0.8×VCC (≥0.96V) with 200µA source current, ensuring robust logic-level compatibility with low-voltage µPs.
What package options are available for the MAX6422US22+T?
The MAX6422US22+T is offered in two pin-compatible 4-pin packages: SC70-4 (X4+1 outline) and SOT143-4 (U4+1 outline). Both are RoHS-compliant, lead-free, tape-and-reel packaged, and share identical electrical specifications and pin functions - allowing layout flexibility without circuit redesign.
