Product details
Overview
MAX6423US26+ from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 2.625V ±2.5% factory-trimmed reset threshold, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (3.0–5.75ms with 1500pF), and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. It monitors supply voltage in battery-powered embedded controllers and portable equipment to prevent code execution errors during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6423US26+ datasheet, MAX6423US26+ pinout, MAX6423US26+ application, or MAX6423US26+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC70-4 package, 1.6µA typical quiescent current, open-drain RESET compatibility with mixed-voltage µP interfaces, and immunity to sub-50µs VCC transients at 100mV overdrive.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision voltage-detection circuit with laser-trimmed resistors to set the 2.625V reset threshold and a 240nA internal ramp current source that charges an external SRT capacitor to generate the reset timeout delay. The reset assertion logic is fully analog and independent of digital control blocks.
The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup (10kΩ–100kΩ) and supports wired-OR configuration with auxiliary reset sources. Its valid operation down to VCC = 1V ensures reliable reset signaling across wide supply droop conditions without requiring additional level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.625V ±2.5% (factory-laser-trimmed; enables precise brownout detection for 2.8V/3.3V systems) |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typ at VCC ≤ 2.0V (enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications) |
| Reset Timeout Range | 0.275ms to >6ms (set by external SRT capacitor; 3.0–5.75ms at 1500pF) |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V (guaranteed reset validity down to 1V supports ultra-low-power wake-up sequencing) |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain (allows flexible pullup to any voltage ≤5.5V; enables wired-OR reset arbitration) |
| Transient Immunity | No reset issued for VCC glitches ≤50µs duration when overdrive = 100mV (rejects noise without external filtering) |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C (qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial embedded environments) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6423US26+ is housed in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm × 0.55mm, suitable for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Supply voltage input and reset threshold monitor | Primary power rail connection; internal voltage reference derived directly from this pin |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance path for accurate threshold sensing |
| 3 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives low during reset; requires external pullup; compatible with 0–5.5V logic domains |
| 4 - SRT | Set-reset-time capacitor connection | Accepts external timing capacitor (CSRT); 240nA ramp current sets timeout period per tRP = 2.73×10⁶×CSRT + 275µs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise tailoring of reset hold time (0.275ms–6ms+) to match µP reset requirements without firmware changes |
| Open-drain RESET with 0–5.5V pullup flexibility | Permits direct interface to µPs operating at different I/O voltages (e.g., 1.8V core + 3.3V I/O) without level shifters |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion even during deep brownout, eliminating race conditions in low-VCC startup |
| Immunity to short VCC transients (≤50µs @ 100mV) | Reduces need for bulk capacitance and EMI filtering on VCC rail, simplifying power delivery design |
| Laser-trimmed 2.625V threshold (±2.5% over temp) | Eliminates external resistor divider; achieves high accuracy without calibration or temperature compensation circuitry |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6423US26+?
The MAX6423US26+ features a factory-laser-trimmed reset threshold of 2.625V, with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "26", and applies directly to the MAX6423US26+ part number-not inferred from adjacent variants.
Does the MAX6423US26+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX6423US26+ has an active-low open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor (typically 10kΩ–100kΩ) to a logic-compatible voltage (0–5.5V). This is explicitly required per the Pin Description and Detailed Description sections, and omission will result in undefined logic levels on the reset line.
Can the MAX6423US26+ operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.6V?
Yes-the MAX6423US26+ guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its internal circuitry remains functional and the RESET output remains asserted until VCC rises above 2.625V, making it suitable for deep brownout recovery in ultra-low-power systems.
How is the reset timeout period calculated for the MAX6423US26+?
The reset timeout period (tRP) of the MAX6423US26+ is calculated as tRP = (2.73 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, where CSRT is the capacitor value in farads connected between SRT and GND. For example, a 1500pF capacitor yields 3.00–5.75ms timeout, per the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Timeout Period".
Is the MAX6423US26+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX642x family?
No-MAX6423US26+ uses a 4-pin SC70 package and shares pinout only with MAX6421/MAX6422/MAX6423 variants in SC70 or SOT143. It is not pin-compatible with 5-pin SOT23 variants like MAX6424/MAX6425/MAX6426 or MAX6340, as confirmed in the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations sections.
