Product details
Overview
MAX6422XS31+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC that monitors VCC supply voltage and asserts an active-high push-pull RESET signal when VCC falls below 3.075V (typical threshold, suffix "31"). It features capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275µs base + 2.73s/F × CSRT), guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V, and consumes only 1.6µA typical quiescent current. It is used in battery-powered controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset with configurable delay.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6422XS31+ datasheet, MAX6422XS31+ pinout, MAX6422XS31+ application, or MAX6422XS31+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high push-pull output, SC70-4 package, ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, immunity to short VCC transients, and compatibility with µP reset inputs requiring valid logic above 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6422XS31+ implements a precision voltage comparator with laser-trimmed resistors to detect VCC falling below its factory-set 3.075V threshold. Its reset timeout is generated by a 240nA internal current source charging an external capacitor (CSRT) to a 0.65V ramp threshold, enabling accurate, temperature-stable delay tuning.
Unlike open-drain variants, the MAX6422XS31+ drives RESET high actively during deassertion, eliminating need for external pull-up. Its push-pull output guarantees VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA (VCC ≥ 4.5V) and VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 800µA (VCC ≥ 4.5V), ensuring robust interfacing with CMOS µP reset inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.075V (typ), 2.998V to 3.152V (min/max), factory-laser-trimmed for precise brownout detection |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA (typ) at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |
| Reset Timeout Base | 275µs minimum (CSRT = 0) - ensures minimum reset assertion even without external capacitor |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid RESET assertion down to ultralow VCC, critical for graceful shutdown |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates external pull-up resistor and simplifies PCB layout |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent reset behavior across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| VCC to Reset Delay | 80µs (VCC falling at 1mV/µs) - fast response to supply collapse prevents µP code corruption |
Pinout & Package
MAX6422XS31+ is housed in a 4-pin SC70-4 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm, 0.5mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained portable and medical applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SRT | Set Reset Timeout Input | Connects to external capacitor (CSRT) to set timeout period per tRP = 2.73×10⁶×CSRT + 275µs; sensitive to leakage - requires short, clean trace |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal current sources and comparator; must be low-impedance for accurate threshold and timing |
| 3 - RESET | Active-High Push-Pull Reset Output | Drives high (≥0.8×VCC) or low (≤0.4V) actively; directly interfaces µP reset input without pull-up; sinks 3.2mA / sources 800µA |
| 4 - VCC | Supply Voltage & Threshold Monitor Input | Monitors system supply; powers internal circuitry; reset asserted when VCC < 3.075V; valid operation guaranteed down to 1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise, application-specific delay tuning (e.g., 10ms–1s) using standard ceramic capacitors - no fixed delays or firmware dependency |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset state during deep brownout or battery depletion - prevents µP from executing undefined instructions |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs duration when VCC dips 100mV below threshold - avoids spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Low 1.6µA quiescent current | Minimizes standby power draw - essential for coin-cell or energy-harvesting systems where µA-level leakage matters |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor networks and calibration; delivers ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range without user trimming |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Medical Sensors | Automotive Body Control Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6421XS31+ | Active-low push-pull RESET output; identical threshold, timing, and package | Requires µP with active-low reset input; incompatible with active-high-only reset pins | Select MAX6421XS31+ only if target µP mandates active-low assertion logic. |
| TLV803EB31DBVR | Fixed 3.08V threshold; 200ms factory-fixed timeout; SOT-23-3 package; 0.5µA IQ | Lacks adjustable timeout; smaller footprint but no capacitor tuning; lower IQ benefits ultra-low-power designs | Choose TLV803EB31DBVR when timeout is fixed and board space is premium; use MAX6422XS31+ when delay must be tuned per system requirements. |
Compared with MAX6421XS31+, the MAX6422XS31+ provides active-high reset polarity for direct interface with µPs lacking active-low support; compared with TLV803EB31DBVR, it trades fixed timing for design flexibility via external capacitor, at the cost of one extra pin and higher quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6422XS31+?
The MAX6422XS31+ has a nominal reset threshold of 3.075V, with a guaranteed range of 2.998V (min) to 3.152V (max) over –40°C to +125°C. This value is factory-laser-trimmed and corresponds to the "31" suffix in the part number, per Table 1 of the datasheet.
Does MAX6422XS31+ require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No. The MAX6422XS31+ features an active-high push-pull RESET output, which actively drives both high and low states. Unlike open-drain supervisors, it does not require an external pull-up resistor - simplifying schematic design and reducing BOM count.
How is the reset timeout period calculated for MAX6422XS31+?
The reset timeout period (tRP) of MAX6422XS31+ is calculated as tRP = (2.73 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, where tRP is in seconds and CSRT is in farads. For example, a 33nF capacitor yields ~93ms timeout. CSRT must be low-leakage ceramic (≤10nA) for accuracy.
Can MAX6422XS31+ operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.5V?
Yes. The MAX6422XS31+ guarantees valid RESET output functionality down to VCC = 1.0V, including proper assertion/deassertion timing and logic levels. This ensures robust reset behavior during deep brownout conditions common in battery-powered systems.
What package type is used for MAX6422XS31+ and what are its dimensions?
The MAX6422XS31+ uses the SC70-4 package (package code XS), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm with 0.5mm pin pitch. It is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, indicated by the "+" suffix in the part number.
