Product details
Overview
MAX6423XS31+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 3.075V 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 code-execution errors during power-up, brownout, or power-down events.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6423XS31+T datasheet, MAX6423XS31+T pinout, MAX6423XS31+T application, or MAX6423XS31+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, ultra-low quiescent current (1.6µA typ), open-drain logic compatibility with multiple supply rails, immunity to short VCC transients, and SC70-4 package suitability for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6423XS31+T implements a precision voltage-detection circuit using laser-trimmed resistors to set its 3.075V reset threshold, with hysteresis of 4 × VTH (≈12.3mV). Its reset assertion is triggered when VCC falls below this threshold, and deassertion is delayed by an externally adjustable timeout determined by a ramp current source (240nA) charging an SRT-to-ground capacitor.
As an open-drain device, it requires an external pullup resistor (10kΩ–100kΩ) to any logic rail up to 5.5V, enabling wired-OR reset configurations and interoperability with µPs operating at different I/O voltages. It guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V but does not support valid logic at VCC = 0 without external pulldown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.075V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable detection across automotive/industrial temperature ranges |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to 5.75ms (CSRT = 0 to 1500pF) - supports µP reset timing requirements from fast-boot to safety-critical hold durations |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - operates through deep brownout and across 1.8V/3.3V/5V system rails |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows flexible pullup to any compatible logic rail and wired-OR reset bus sharing |
| VCC to Reset Delay | 80µs (VCC falling at 1mV/µs) - provides deterministic response to rapid supply collapse |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6423XS31+T is housed in a 4-pin SC70-4 package (package code X4+1), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection. Pin 1 is SRT (Set Reset Timeout), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is RESET (open-drain output), and Pin 4 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (SRT) | Reset timeout capacitor input | Accepts external capacitor (CSRT) to program reset delay; 240nA internal ramp current charges CSRT to 0.65V reference |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and SRT capacitor discharge; must be low-impedance for accurate timeout |
| Pin 3 (RESET) | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low during VCC fault; requires external pullup; sinks ≥500µA at VCC ≥ 1.8V while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.3V |
| Pin 4 (VCC) | Supply and threshold monitor input | Powers device and sets reset threshold via internal resistor divider; valid operation guaranteed down to 1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise timing tuning (275µs–5.75ms) without firmware or external logic, reducing BOM count and layout complexity |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic µP reset assertion even during severe brownout conditions where most supervisors fail |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs duration when VCC dips 100mV below threshold, preventing spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Open-drain output with 5.5V-tolerant pullup | Permits direct interface to 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V µP reset inputs and enables shared reset buses with auxiliary controllers |
| Laser-trimmed reset threshold accuracy | ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over full temperature range eliminates need for external calibration or margining |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Battery-Powered Industrial Controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6423US31+T | SOT143-4 package (larger footprint, 4-pin); identical electrical specs and reset threshold | Preferred where thermal mass or hand-soldering reliability outweighs size constraints | Select MAX6423US31+T for prototyping or high-reliability industrial assembly requiring larger pad geometry |
| NCP302LSN30T1G | Fixed 3.0V threshold (±2%), push-pull output, no capacitor-adjustable timeout, 1.8µA ICC | Lacks timeout flexibility and open-drain interoperability; suited only for simple fixed-delay use cases | Choose NCP302LSN30T1G only if design requires zero external components and accepts fixed 200ms timeout |
Compared with MAX6423XS31+T, the MAX6423US31+T offers identical supervision functionality in a more manufacturable SOT143 package, while the NCP302LSN30T1G trades adjustability and interface flexibility for minimal BOM count-making the MAX6423XS31+T optimal for space-constrained, multi-rail, or precision-timing applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6423XS31+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6423XS31+T has a nominal reset threshold of 3.075V, with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full operating range of -40°C to +125°C. This is confirmed by Table 1 in the datasheet, where suffix "31" corresponds to min/typ/max values of 2.998V/3.075V/3.152V. The normalized threshold vs. temperature curve (toc08) shows drift within ±0.5% across the range, ensuring robust brownout detection in automotive and industrial environments.
Can MAX6423XS31+T drive a reset line referenced to a different supply voltage than VCC?
Yes, the MAX6423XS31+T features an open-drain RESET output rated for up to 5.5V, allowing connection to an external pullup resistor tied to any logic rail (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V), independent of its own VCC supply. This capability is explicitly documented in the Applications Information section and Figure 1, enabling seamless interfacing with µPs or FPGAs operating at mismatched I/O voltages without level shifters.
How is the reset timeout period set for MAX6423XS31+T, and what capacitor value yields a 4.375ms delay?
The reset timeout period for MAX6423XS31+T is set by connecting a capacitor (CSRT) between the SRT pin and ground. Using the formula tRP = 2.73 × 10⁶ × CSRT + 275µs (with tRP in seconds and CSRT in farads), a 4.375ms delay requires CSRT = (0.004375 − 0.000275) / 2.73 × 10⁶ ≈ 1500pF. This value is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table (tRP = 4.375ms at CSRT = 1500pF) and matches the typical operating characteristic plot toc04.
Is MAX6423XS31+T suitable for automotive applications, and does it meet AEC-Q100?
The MAX6423XS31+T itself is not individually AEC-Q100 qualified; however, the MAX6340UK31/V+T variant in the same family is explicitly listed as AEC-Q100 qualified in the Benefits and Features section. The MAX6423XS31+T shares identical electrical specifications, SC70 packaging, and -40°C to +125°C operating range, making it suitable for non-certified automotive subsystems (e.g., infotainment peripherals), but designers requiring formal qualification must select the MAX6340UK31/V+T or verify compliance via Analog Devices' automotive product roadmap.
What is the maximum leakage current specification for the RESET pin of MAX6423XS31+T when deasserted?
When the reset condition is not asserted (i.e., VCC > VTH), the RESET pin of MAX6423XS31+T exhibits a maximum leakage current of 1.0µA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET Output Leakage Current, Open-Drain". This low leakage ensures minimal loading on the pullup resistor and prevents unintended logic-level shifts in high-impedance reset buses, especially critical in battery-powered systems where every nanoamp counts.
