Product details
Overview
MAX6423US23+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 2.313V nominal reset threshold (±2.5% over temperature), capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275µs to 5.75ms), and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. It monitors supply voltage in portable and battery-powered systems to prevent erroneous µP execution during brownout or power-up.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6423US23+T datasheet, MAX6423US23+T pinout, MAX6423US23+T application, or MAX6423US23+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SOT143 package, 1.6µA typical quiescent current, open-drain RESET compatibility with multiple logic supplies, immunity to short VCC transients, and factory-laser-trimmed reset threshold accuracy.
Technical Context
The MAX6423US23+T implements a precision voltage-detection circuit using laser-trimmed resistors to set its 2.313V reset threshold, with hysteresis of 4 × VTH (≈9.25mV). Its reset timeout is generated by a 240nA internal ramp current charging an external capacitor (CSRT) to a 0.65V internal reference.
It operates across -40°C to +125°C, asserts RESET when VCC falls below threshold, holds RESET low for the timeout period after VCC recovers, and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V - enabling reliable supervision in ultra-low-voltage brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.313V nominal (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C); ensures deterministic reset activation at defined supply sag level |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs (CSRT = 0) to 5.75ms (CSRT = 1500pF); supports µP reset timing requirements from fast-boot to safety-critical hold |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET; allows wired-OR configuration and logic-level translation up to 5.5V |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout before system collapse |
| Supply Transient Immunity | Immune to negative-going VCC glitches ≤50µs at 100mV overdrive; prevents false resets from noise or coupling |
| Package | 4-pin SOT143; compact footprint compatible with space-constrained portable and medical PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6423US23+T is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (package code U4+1, outline 21-0052), with 0.95mm pitch, 1.3mm × 1.3mm body size, and exposed pad not connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Supply voltage input and reset threshold monitor node; must be decoupled locally to ensure stable detection |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference for internal comparators and ramp generator; requires low-impedance connection |
| 3 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output; requires external pullup (10kΩ–100kΩ) to target logic supply (0–5.5V) |
| 4 | SRT | Set-reset-time input; connects to external timing capacitor (CSRT) to program reset timeout period |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise tailoring of reset hold time (275µs–5.75ms) without firmware or external logic |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures µP remains held in reset until supply stabilizes above minimum operational voltage |
| Open-drain RESET output | Supports multi-supply logic interfacing and wired-OR reset bus architectures with auxiliary controllers |
| Laser-trimmed reset threshold | Delivers ±2.5% accuracy over full industrial temperature range, eliminating calibration overhead |
| Low 1.6µA quiescent current | Minimizes battery drain in always-connected IoT sensors and portable medical devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6423XS23+T | Same electrical specs and reset threshold, but in SC70-4 package (X4+1 outline) | Requires different land pattern; used where board space or thermal profile favors SC70 over SOT143 | Select when footprint or assembly process favors SC70; identical functionality and performance |
| NCP302LSN23T1G | 2.3V reset threshold, push-pull active-low output, 1.5µA IQ, SOT23-3 package | Lacks capacitor-adjustable timeout (fixed 200ms); no SRT pin; smaller 3-pin footprint | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where fixed timeout suffices and board area is critical |
Compared with MAX6423US23+T, MAX6423XS23+T offers identical supervision behavior in a different package, while NCP302LSN23T1G trades adjustable timeout for reduced pin count and fixed delay - making it suitable for simpler, space-constrained applications where programmability is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6423US23+T?
The MAX6423US23+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.313V, with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and specified in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "23". The MAX6423US23+T uses this precise threshold to trigger reset when VCC falls below the defined level.
How do I calculate the reset timeout capacitor for the MAX6423US23+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) / 2.735e6 ≈ 1500pF. The MAX6423US23+T's internal 240nA ramp current charges this capacitor to 0.65V to deassert RESET.
Can the MAX6423US23+T drive a 3.3V microcontroller reset input directly?
Yes - the MAX6423US23+T features an open-drain RESET output that can interface directly with 3.3V µP reset inputs using a 10kΩ–100kΩ pullup resistor to 3.3V. Its VOL is ≤0.3V at ISINK = 500µA, ensuring solid logic-low assertion. The MAX6423US23+T does not require level-shifting circuitry for 3.3V systems.
Is the MAX6423US23+T qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX6423US23+T itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified; only the MAX6340UK31/V+T variant in the same family carries AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification. However, the MAX6423US23+T operates across -40°C to +125°C and meets automotive ambient requirements for non-safety-critical body electronics, though formal qualification requires the designated part number.
What package type does the MAX6423US23+T use, and is it lead-free?
The MAX6423US23+T uses a 4-pin SOT143 package (U4+1 outline) with lead(Pb)-free termination, indicated by the "+" suffix in the part number. It complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is supplied in tape-and-reel format. The MAX6423US23+T's package dimensions and land pattern are documented in Analog Devices' package drawing 21-0052.
