Product details
Overview
MAX6423XS22-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor reset supervisor IC with open-drain active-low RESET output, 2.188V ±2.5% factory-trimmed reset threshold, and capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275µs base + 2.73×10⁶·CSRT). It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply, draws 1.6µA typical quiescent current, and guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1V. Used in battery-powered controllers for reliable brownout detection and power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6423XS22-T datasheet, MAX6423XS22-T pinout, MAX6423XS22-T application, or MAX6423XS22-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC70-4 open-drain output architecture, 2.188V threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, capacitor-based timeout flexibility, guaranteed operation at VCC ≥ 1V, and immunity to sub-50µs VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6423XS22-T implements a precision voltage monitor with laser-trimmed internal reference and hysteresis of 4×VTH (≈8.75mV). Its SRT pin sources a stable 240nA ramp current to charge an external capacitor; reset deassertion occurs when the capacitor voltage reaches 0.65V.
As an open-drain supervisor, it requires an external pullup resistor (10kΩ–100kΩ) to any logic supply up to 5.5V, enabling level-shifting and wired-OR reset bus configurations. It asserts RESET low on VCC drop below threshold and holds it low for the full timeout after VCC recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.188V ±2.5% (factory-trimmed suffix '22'); ensures precise brownout detection at nominal 2.188V across -40°C to +125°C |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at +25°C; enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered systems |
| Supply Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout down to 1V VCC |
| Reset Timeout Base | 275µs minimum (CSRT = 0); provides guaranteed minimum hold time before release |
| VCC to Reset Delay | 80µs maximum (VCC falling at 1mV/µs); ensures fast response to supply collapse |
| Ramp Current (SRT) | 240nA ±20%; sets linear charging rate for external capacitor to determine timeout period |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain; allows flexible pullup to any voltage ≤5.5V and wired-OR with auxiliary reset sources |

Use Value: Enables deterministic power-fail interrupt handling and EEPROM-safe shutdown per IEC 62056, avoiding data corruption during grid flicker. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6425UK22-T | Same 2.188V threshold and open-drain output, but in 5-pin SOT23-5 package with N.C. pin instead of SC70-4 pinout | Requires PCB layout change; supports same timeout and supply range but larger footprint | Select when SOT23-5 is preferred for assembly compatibility or thermal margin |
| TLV803EB22DBZR | 2.2V threshold, 1.6µA IQ, open-drain, but fixed 200ms timeout (no capacitor adjustment) and only rated to +105°C | Lacks timeout flexibility and automotive temperature range; suitable for cost-sensitive consumer designs | Choose only if fixed timeout suffices and extended temperature is not required |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6423XS22-T?
The MAX6423XS22-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.188V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix '22', and applies specifically to the MAX6423XS22-T variant-not the entire MAX6421–MAX6426 family.
Does the MAX6423XS22-T support operation below 1.6V supply?
Yes, the MAX6423XS22-T guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its internal circuitry remains functional and produces a defined RESET signal even at 1.0V, though output drive strength diminishes below 1.8V.
How do I calculate the reset timeout capacitor for the MAX6423XS22-T?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP − 275µs) / 2.73×10⁶, where tRP is the desired timeout in seconds and CSRT is in farads. For example, a 50ms timeout requires CSRT = (0.05 − 0.000275) / 2.73×10⁶ ≈ 18.2nF. The MAX6423XS22-T datasheet specifies ceramic capacitors with <10nA leakage for best accuracy.
Can the MAX6423XS22-T RESET output drive a 5V logic input?
Yes-the MAX6423XS22-T features an open-drain RESET output rated for up to 5.5V, allowing connection of an external pullup resistor to a 5V rail. When asserted, RESET pulls low; when released, the pullup defines the high state. This enables direct interfacing with 5V µPs without level shifters.
Is the MAX6423XS22-T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX642x family?
No-MAX6423XS22-T uses the 4-pin SC70-4 package with pinout GND-VCC-SRT-RESET. It is not pin-compatible with 5-pin SOT23 variants (e.g., MAX6425UK22-T) or push-pull-output versions (e.g., MAX6421XS22-T), which have different pin counts and assignments. Pin compatibility is explicitly stated only for designated variants in the datasheet's "Ordering Information" table.
