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 voltage falls below its factory-trimmed 3.075V threshold (±2.5% over temperature). 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 portable medical instruments to ensure reliable power-on reset sequencing.
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, 3.075V reset threshold with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, capacitor-programmable timeout, and guaranteed reset validity at VCC ≥ 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6422XS31 implements a precision voltage comparator with laser-trimmed resistors to detect VCC falling below its 3.075V threshold, triggering an active-high push-pull RESET output. Its reset timeout is generated by a 240nA internal ramp current charging an external capacitor (CSRT) to a 0.65V internal reference.
Unlike open-drain variants, the MAX6422XS31 drives RESET high actively during deassertion and low actively during assertion, eliminating need for external pull-up. It remains functional down to VCC = 1V, and its input stage is immune to short VCC transients ≤50µs when overdrive is 100mV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.075V nominal, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable systems |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - directly interfaces to µP reset inputs without external pull-up resistor |
| Minimum Valid VCC | 1.0V - guarantees RESET assertion/deassertion integrity during deep brownout conditions |
| Reset Timeout Base | 275µs minimum (CSRT = 0) - provides baseline reset hold time before capacitor extension |
| VCC to Reset Delay | 80µs maximum (VCC falling at 1mV/µs) - ensures fast response to supply collapse |
| Hysteresis | 4 × VTH (≈12.3mV) - prevents chatter near threshold during slow VCC transitions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6422XS31 is housed in a 4-pin SC70-4 package (JEDEC MO-203AA), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with gull-wing leads and exposed pad not connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SRT | Set Reset Timeout Input | Connects to external timing capacitor (CSRT); 240nA ramp current charges it to 0.65V to set timeout period |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET output sink current |
| 3 - RESET | Active-High Push-Pull Output | Drives high (≥0.8×VCC) or low (≤0.4V at 3.2mA) to directly control µP reset pin |
| 4 - VCC | Supply & Voltage Monitor Input | Power source and monitored rail; device operates and asserts reset down to 1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise tailoring of reset hold time (e.g., 100ms with 36.6nF) to match specific µP requirements |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout, critical for fail-safe embedded controllers |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs duration when VCC dips 100mV below threshold - avoids spurious resets in noisy environments |
| Low 1.6µA quiescent current | Minimizes battery drain in always-connected IoT sensors and portable diagnostics equipment |
| Laser-trimmed reset threshold | Delivers 3.075V with ±2.5% accuracy over full industrial temperature range - eliminates calibration overhead |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6422US31-T | Same electrical specs and reset threshold, but in 4-pin SOT143-4 package (larger footprint, different thermal resistance) | Suitable where board layout accommodates larger SOT143 or requires higher power dissipation margin | Select MAX6422US31-T only if SC70-4 assembly capability is unavailable or thermal derating above +70°C is required. |
| TLV803SDBZR | Fixed 3.08V threshold (±1%), 35µs min timeout, no capacitor adjustment; 1.8µA IQ; SOT23-3 package | Lacks programmable timeout and operates down to 0.8V VCC - better for ultra-low-voltage apps but less flexible timing control | Choose TLV803SDBZR only when fixed timeout suffices and smallest possible footprint (3-pin SOT23) is mandatory. |
Compared with MAX6422XS31, MAX6422US31-T offers identical supervision functionality in a thermally robust SOT143 package, while TLV803SDBZR trades adjustable timeout for smaller size and tighter threshold tolerance - making MAX6422XS31 optimal for designs requiring precise, field-tunable reset hold time in space-constrained SC70 layouts.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6422XS31?
The MAX6422XS31 has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.075V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This value corresponds to the "31" suffix per Table 1 in the datasheet and is laser-trimmed for precision without requiring external calibration.
Does the MAX6422XS31 require an external pull-up resistor on its RESET pin?
No, the MAX6422XS31 does not require an external pull-up resistor because it features an active-high push-pull RESET output. The IC actively drives the RESET line high (≥0.8×VCC) and low (≤0.4V at 3.2mA), enabling direct connection to most microcontroller reset inputs without additional components.
How is the reset timeout period calculated for the MAX6422XS31?
The reset timeout period tRP for the MAX6422XS31 is calculated as tRP = (2.73 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, where tRP is in seconds and CSRT is in farads. For example, a 100nF capacitor yields tRP ≈ 273ms + 275µs ≈ 273.3ms. The internal 240nA ramp current charges CSRT to a 0.65V reference to determine timeout.
Can the MAX6422XS31 operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.6V?
Yes, the MAX6422XS31 is fully specified to operate and assert valid RESET down to VCC = 1.0V. Its internal circuitry remains functional and guarantees correct reset logic polarity and timing integrity even at this minimum supply voltage, supporting robust brownout recovery in deeply discharged battery scenarios.
What package type is used for the MAX6422XS31, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The MAX6422XS31 uses the 4-pin SC70-4 package (JEDEC MO-203AA), with footprint dimensions of 2.0mm × 2.1mm and maximum height of 0.95mm. It features gull-wing leads and an unconnected exposed pad, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and wearable electronics.
