Product details
Overview
MAX6422US46+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 4.625V (typical), with capacitor-adjustable timeout (3.0–5.75ms at CSRT = 1500pF), guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V, and quiescent current of 1.6µA (typ) at 2.0V - used in battery-powered controllers and portable equipment for reliable power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6422US46+T datasheet, MAX6422US46+T pinout, MAX6422US46+T application, or MAX6422US46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SOT143 package, active-high push-pull RESET output, factory-trimmed 4.625V threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), capacitor-set timeout, and immunity to short VCC transients up to 50µs at 100mV overdrive.
Technical Context
The MAX6422US46+T implements a precision voltage-detection circuit with laser-trimmed internal resistors to set the 4.625V reset threshold, paired with a 240nA constant-current ramp source charging an external SRT capacitor to generate the reset timeout delay. Its push-pull output drives high to VCC (≥0.8×VCC) and low to ≤0.4V at 3.2mA sink, ensuring clean logic-level compatibility without external pullups.
It operates across -40°C to +125°C with full electrical specification guarantee, supports VCC from 1.0V to 5.5V, and maintains valid RESET assertion even as VCC drops to 1V - enabling robust brownout detection in wide-input industrial and automotive systems where supply stability cannot be assumed.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.625V (typ), ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection at nominal 4.6V rail |
| Reset Timeout | 3.00–5.75ms (CSRT = 1500pF) - configurable via external capacitor for µP reset hold time compliance |
| Supply Current | 1.6µA (typ) at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and simplifies PCB routing |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V logic domains |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded environments |
| VCC to RESET Delay | 80µs (VCC falling at 1mV/µs) - fast response to supply collapse prevents erroneous µP execution |
Pinout & Package
MAX6422US46+T is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (package code U4+1), with 1.3mm × 1.3mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for space-constrained portable and wearable designs.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Supply input and monitored voltage rail - must be decoupled locally; valid operation down to 1.0V |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin directly; sinks up to 3.2mA, sources ≥0.8×VCC |
| 4 | SRT | Set-reset-time input - connects to external timing capacitor (CSRT); sensitive to leakage and stray capacitance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise µP reset hold time tuning (275µs to >100ms) using standard ceramic capacitors (0–10nF) |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, preventing runaway code execution below 1.2V rails |
| Low 1.6µA quiescent current | Extends battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors and medical wearables requiring years of standby operation |
| Immunity to 50µs VCC glitches | Rejects transient noise on power rail without false resets - critical for noisy automotive and industrial power supplies |
| Factory-laser-trimmed 4.625V threshold | Eliminates external resistor network; achieves ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range without calibration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6421US46+T | Active-low push-pull RESET output; identical threshold, timeout, and package | Requires inverted reset logic on host µP; not suitable if µP lacks active-low reset input | Select when target MCU accepts active-low reset and board layout already accommodates polarity |
| MAX6424UK46+T | 5-pin SOT23-5 package; same 4.625V threshold and active-high push-pull output | Requires PCB redesign due to extra pin (N.C.) and different footprint; larger 1.6mm × 1.2mm body | Choose only if SOT23-5 is standardized across platform and pin 3 N.C. can be left floating |
Compared with MAX6421US46+T and MAX6424UK46+T, the MAX6422US46+T uniquely combines active-high logic, 4-pin SOT143 compactness, and guaranteed 1V operation - making it optimal for space- and polarity-constrained battery-powered designs where minimal BOM count and direct µP interface are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6422US46+T?
The MAX6422US46+T has a factory-laser-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.625V, with tolerance of ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and corresponds to the "46" suffix per Table 1 in the datasheet.
Does the MAX6422US46+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX6422US46+T features an active-high push-pull RESET output, so no external pullup resistor is needed. It actively drives high to ≥0.8×VCC and low to ≤0.4V at rated sink current - unlike open-drain variants such as MAX6423US46+T which require external pullups.
Can the MAX6422US46+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 2.0V?
Yes, the MAX6422US46+T guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, and its supply current remains as low as 1.6µA (typ) at VCC ≤ 2.0V. This makes the MAX6422US46+T suitable for brownout detection in systems with collapsing rails, such as battery-powered devices during end-of-life discharge.
What capacitor value sets a 4.375ms reset timeout for the MAX6422US46+T?
A 1500pF capacitor (CSRT) between SRT and GND yields a typical reset timeout of 4.375ms for the MAX6422US46+T, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under tRP. The relationship is linear: tRP = (2.73 × 10⁶ × CSRT) + 275µs, with CSRT in farads and tRP in seconds.
Is the MAX6422US46+T pin-compatible with other parts in the MAX642x family?
The MAX6422US46+T shares the same 4-pin SOT143 pinout with MAX6421US46+T and MAX6423US46+T, but differs in RESET polarity (active-high vs. active-low vs. open-drain). Pin compatibility does not imply functional interchangeability - swapping requires verification of µP reset input logic and external circuitry.
