Product details
Overview
MAX6424UK23+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with active-low push-pull reset output, 2.313V ±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 requiring precise brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6424UK23+T datasheet, MAX6424UK23+T pinout, MAX6424UK23+T application, or MAX6424UK23+T equivalent, key selection factors include its SOT23-5 package, 1.6µA typical quiescent current, immunity to short VCC transients, and compatibility with µP reset inputs requiring active-low assertion with no external pullup.
Technical Context
The MAX6424UK23+T implements a precision voltage-detection circuit using laser-trimmed resistors to set its 2.313V reset threshold, with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. Its internal 240nA current source charges an external capacitor on the SRT pin to generate a programmable reset timeout delay.
Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below the threshold; deassertion is delayed by the SRT capacitor ramp time to reach 0.65V. The push-pull output drives low to 0.3V at 50µA (VCC ≥ 1.0V) and high to 0.8×VCC, eliminating need for external pullup components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.313V ±2.5% - precisely trimmed for reliable detection of 2.3V system rail brownout |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typ at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring |
| Reset Timeout Range | 0.275ms to >10ms - adjustable via external capacitor (e.g., 3.0–5.75ms at 1500pF) |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V - valid reset signaling even during deep brownout down to 1V supply |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - directly interfaces µP reset pins without pullup resistor |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive and industrial under-hood/enclosure use |
| VCC to Reset Delay | 80µs - fast response to supply collapse, minimizing firmware corruption window |
Pinout & Package
MAX6424UK23+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, 0.95mm height, and gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Supply and threshold monitor input | Primary power rail connection; reset logic references this voltage |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and reset output sink current |
| 3 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor input | Connect external capacitor to ground to set delay; sensitive to leakage and stray capacitance |
| 4 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives low (≤0.3V) during fault; high (≥0.8×VCC) otherwise - no pullup needed |
| 5 - N.C. | No internal connection | Not bonded; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed reset threshold | 2.313V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range ensures consistent brownout detection across environments |
| Capacitor-adjustable timeout | External SRT capacitor sets delay from 275µs to >10ms, enabling match to diverse µP reset timing requirements |
| 1.6µA typical supply current | Enables integration into energy-constrained systems such as coin-cell–powered IoT sensors without compromising battery life |
| Valid reset down to VCC = 1V | Guarantees clean reset assertion through deep undervoltage conditions where most supervisors fail |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs at 100mV overdrive, preventing spurious resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Portable Instrumentation | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN23T1G | 2.3V fixed threshold, open-drain output, no SRT adjustment - requires external pullup | Lacks capacitor-programmable timeout; suitable only where fixed 200ms delay suffices | Choose if board space is constrained and fixed delay acceptable; verify µP input compatibility with open-drain drive |
| TLV803EB23DBZR | 2.32V threshold, 35µA IQ, push-pull output, fixed 200ms timeout - no external capacitor option | Higher quiescent current limits battery life; fixed timeout reduces design flexibility | Select when simplified BOM and qualification speed outweigh need for adjustable delay and ultra-low IQ |
Compared with NCP302LSN23T1G and TLV803EB23DBZR, the MAX6424UK23+T uniquely combines ultra-low 1.6µA supply current, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout, and push-pull output - enabling longer battery life, precise timing control, and elimination of external pullup components in space- and power-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6424UK23+T?
The MAX6424UK23+T has a factory-laser-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.313V, with ±2.5% accuracy over the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "23", and applies specifically to the MAX6424UK23+T variant-not the broader MAX6424 family.
Does the MAX6424UK23+T require an external pullup resistor on its RESET pin?
No, the MAX6424UK23+T features an active-low push-pull RESET output, which actively drives both high (to 0.8×VCC) and low (to ≤0.3V). Unlike open-drain supervisors, it does not require an external pullup resistor-reducing BOM count and PCB area. This behavior is explicitly defined in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics sections for the MAX6424 variant.
How is the reset timeout period set for the MAX6424UK23+T?
The reset timeout period of the MAX6424UK23+T is set by connecting an external capacitor (CSRT) between the SRT pin and ground. The relationship is tRP = 2.73 × 10⁶ × CSRT + 275µs, where tRP is in seconds and CSRT in farads. For example, a 1500pF capacitor yields 3.0–5.75ms timeout. This capacitor must be low-leakage (<10nA); ceramic is recommended.
Can the MAX6424UK23+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 2.0V?
Yes, the MAX6424UK23+T guarantees valid RESET output operation down to VCC = 1.0V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its reset assertion remains functional and its push-pull output maintains specified VOL and VOH levels even at 1.0V supply-critical for brownout recovery in systems with collapsing rails.
What package type and pin count does the MAX6424UK23+T use?
The MAX6424UK23+T uses a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (package code U5+2), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm body size and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is VCC, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is SRT, Pin 4 is RESET, and Pin 5 is N.C. This matches the pin configuration shown in Figure 7 of the datasheet and is distinct from the 4-pin SC70/SOT143 variants used by MAX6421/MAX6422/MAX6423.
