Product details
Overview
MAX6423US44+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 4.375V nominal reset threshold (±2.5% over temperature), capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (3.0–5.75ms at CSRT = 1500pF), and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. It monitors supply voltage in portable and battery-powered systems to prevent code execution errors during power-up, brownout, or power-down.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6423US44+T datasheet, MAX6423US44+T pinout, MAX6423US44+T application, or MAX6423US44+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 MAX6423US44+T implements a precision voltage-monitoring circuit with a laser-trimmed internal reference and a 240nA SRT ramp current source that charges an external capacitor to set the reset timeout period. Its reset assertion logic is triggered when VCC falls below the 4.375V threshold, with hysteresis of 4 × VTH (≈17.5mV).
It operates across –40°C to +125°C, guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V, and features open-drain output requiring an external pullup resistor (10kΩ–100kΩ) for interfacing with µP reset inputs powered by different supply rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.375V nominal (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable detection of 4.5V system rail undervoltage before critical failure. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Reset Timeout Range | 3.0–5.75ms at CSRT = 1500pF; adjustable via external capacitor (CSRT = (tRP – 275µs)/2.735×10⁶) to match µP reset timing requirements. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports supervision of ultra-low-voltage logic rails and legacy 5V systems. |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET; allows wired-OR configuration and interface with any logic supply up to 5.5V using external pullup. |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 80µs max (VCC falling at 1mV/µs); provides fast response to supply collapse without false triggering on noise. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial embedded environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6423US44+T is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (package code U4+1), with 1.3mm × 1.3mm footprint and 0.95mm height. Pin 1 is VCC, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is RESET (open-drain), and Pin 4 is SRT (capacitor-connected timeout adjust input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Supply voltage and reset threshold monitor input | Primary power rail connection; voltage applied here determines reset activation point and powers internal circuitry. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents and SRT capacitor discharge; must be low-impedance for accurate timeout timing. |
| 3 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives low during reset condition; requires external pullup to define high state; compatible with 0–5.5V logic supplies. |
| 4 - SRT | Set reset timeout input | Connects to external capacitor (CSRT) to program timeout; 240nA internal current source charges CSRT to 0.65V to deassert reset. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise matching to µP reset hold-time requirements across diverse platforms without firmware changes. |
| Open-drain RESET output | Supports wired-OR reset architecture and interoperability with mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3V µP with 5V I/O rail). |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, preventing undefined µP states in low-battery conditions. |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs duration when VCC dips 100mV below threshold-critical for noisy automotive or industrial power rails. |
| Laser-trimmed reset threshold | Delivers ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over full temperature range-eliminates need for external calibration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6423US43+T | 4.300V reset threshold (vs. 4.375V); otherwise identical pinout, package, and electrical specs. | Suitable where system rail tolerance requires earlier reset assertion before 4.375V dropout. | Select when design margin analysis shows 4.300V better aligns with worst-case 3.3V LDO dropout under load. |
| MAX6423US45+T | 4.500V reset threshold (vs. 4.375V); same SOT143 package and open-drain output. | Used when higher reset threshold is needed to accommodate 5V rail tolerance or reduce false triggers. | Choose for systems with tighter 5V supply regulation where 4.500V provides improved noise immunity. |
Compared with MAX6423US44+T, the US43+T offers earlier reset activation for conservative brownout protection, while the US45+T delays reset assertion to tolerate larger supply excursions-both maintain identical timing, current, and thermal performance in the same footprint.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6423US44+T?
The MAX6423US44+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.375V, with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official Analog Devices datasheet (Rev 11, 9/24).
Does the MAX6423US44+T require an external capacitor, and what value sets a 4ms reset timeout?
Yes, the MAX6423US44+T requires an external capacitor (CSRT) between the SRT pin and GND to set the reset timeout. For a 4ms timeout, CSRT ≈ 1350pF, calculated using tRP = 2.73 × 10⁶ × CSRT + 275µs. Ceramic capacitors with leakage <10nA are recommended to ensure timing accuracy across temperature.
Can the MAX6423US44+T drive a 5V microcontroller reset input directly?
No-the MAX6423US44+T features an open-drain RESET output and cannot actively drive high. To interface with a 5V µP reset input, connect a pullup resistor (e.g., 10kΩ) from RESET to the 5V supply. The device sinks current when asserting reset and releases the line for the pullup to define the high state.
Is the MAX6423US44+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX642x family?
Yes-the MAX6423US44+T shares the same 4-pin SOT143 pinout and function mapping with all MAX6421, MAX6422, and MAX6423 variants (e.g., MAX6423US16+T, MAX6421US44+T). However, output type differs: only MAX6423 variants have open-drain RESET; MAX6421 uses push-pull active-low, and MAX6422 uses push-pull active-high.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature and thermal derating for the MAX6423US44+T?
The MAX6423US44+T has a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and a continuous power dissipation limit of 320mW at +70°C ambient. Above +70°C, it derates at 4mW/°C-so at +100°C ambient, maximum allowable dissipation drops to 200mW. This is specified for the 4-pin SOT143 package per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
