Product details
Overview
MAX6422XS44+T from Analog Devices is a low-power, active-high push-pull microprocessor reset supervisor IC designed for precise VCC monitoring in embedded systems. It asserts a high-level RESET signal when supply voltage falls below 4.375V (typ), maintains it for a capacitor-adjustable timeout (e.g., 4.375ms with 1500pF), and guarantees valid output down to VCC = 1V. Used in battery-powered controllers and portable equipment requiring reliable power-on reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6422XS44+T datasheet, MAX6422XS44+T pinout, MAX6422XS44+T application, or MAX6422XS44+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SC70 package, 1.6µA quiescent current, ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and compatibility with µP reset inputs requiring active-high assertion.
Technical Context
The MAX6422XS44+T implements a precision voltage detector with laser-trimmed internal reference and a 240nA SRT ramp current source that charges an external capacitor to set reset timeout. Its active-high push-pull output drives directly into CMOS µP reset inputs without pull-up resistors.
It operates across 1.0V–5.5V supply range, features guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and rejects short VCC transients (e.g., ≤50µs for 100mV overdrive). The device uses BiCMOS process and achieves ±2.5% threshold tolerance over full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 4.266V (min) / 4.375V (typ) / 4.484V (max) - sets precise brownout detection point for 4.375V nominal systems |
| Supply Current | 1.6µA (typ at VCC ≤ 2.0V) - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Reset Timeout Period | 4.375ms (typ with CSRT = 1500pF) - ensures µP completes internal initialization before release |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - supports automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor; sinks/supplies ≥500µA |
| VCC to Reset Delay | 80µs (max) - provides fast response to supply collapse during brownout |
| Hysteresis | 4 × VTH (≈17.5mV at 4.375V) - prevents oscillation near threshold during slow VCC transitions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6422XS44+T is housed in a 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4+1, outline 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and SRT ramp current; must connect to system ground plane |
| 2 - VCC | Supply and threshold monitor input | Monitored voltage rail; device operates and asserts reset based on this pin's potential |
| 3 - RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin high during fault; sinks 500µA @ VCC ≥ 2.7V, sources 200µA @ VCC ≥ 1.8V |
| 4 - SRT | Set Reset Timeout input | Connects to external capacitor (CSRT); 240nA current source charges it to 0.65V to define timeout period |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Timeout programmable from 275µs to >10ms via external CSRT (0–10nF), enabling µP-specific timing alignment |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | RESET remains functional and logic-valid even as supply collapses, preventing undetermined µP states |
| Low quiescent current (1.6µA typ) | Minimizes battery drain in always-on monitoring applications such as medical wearables and remote sensors |
| ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over temperature | Ensures consistent brownout detection across –40°C to +125°C without calibration |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs duration at 100mV overdrive, avoiding false resets in noisy power environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6422US44+T | SOT143-4 package (vs. SC70); identical electrical specs and pinout mapping | Larger footprint (2.9mm × 2.8mm) but higher thermal mass; preferred for manual assembly or high-reliability solder joints | Select when board layout allows larger package or requires enhanced thermal performance at cost of area |
| TLV803S43DBZR | Fixed 4.3V threshold (vs. 4.375V); 1.8µA ICC (vs. 1.6µA); open-drain output (requires pull-up) | Lacks capacitor-adjustable timeout; reset period fixed at 200ms; not suitable for µPs needing custom delay | Choose only if fixed delay and lower cost outweigh need for timing flexibility and active-high drive |
Compared with MAX6422XS44+T, MAX6422US44+T offers identical functionality in a mechanically distinct package, while TLV803S43DBZR trades adjustable timing and push-pull drive for lower unit cost and fixed behavior-making it unsuitable for designs requiring precise timeout tuning or direct µP interface.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6422XS44+T?
The MAX6422XS44+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.375V (typical), with minimum 4.266V and maximum 4.484V across –40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed and specified in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "44", ensuring tight tolerance without external calibration.
How do I calculate the reset timeout capacitor for the MAX6422XS44+T?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP – 275µs) / 2.735 × 10⁶, where tRP is desired timeout in seconds and CSRT is in farads. For example, a 4.375ms timeout requires CSRT = (0.004375 – 0.000275) / 2.735e6 ≈ 1500pF. Ceramic capacitors with leakage <10nA are recommended.
Can the MAX6422XS44+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes - the MAX6422XS44+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V. At 1.2V, it maintains full reset assertion capability, including VOL ≤ 0.3V (ISINK = 500µA) and VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC, ensuring robust interface with low-voltage µPs.
Is the MAX6422XS44+T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX642x family?
Yes - MAX6422XS44+T shares identical 4-pin SC70 pinout with MAX6421XSxx+T and MAX6423XSxx+T. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = RESET, Pin 4 = SRT. Functionally, only the reset polarity (active-high) and threshold differ; no PCB change is needed when swapping within same package type.
Does the MAX6422XS44+T require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No - the MAX6422XS44+T features an active-high push-pull RESET output, which actively drives high and low without external components. Unlike open-drain variants (e.g., MAX6423), it sources up to 800µA and sinks up to 3.2mA, enabling direct connection to µP reset inputs.
