Product details
Overview
MAX6424UK26+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with active-low push-pull reset output, 2.625V ±2.5% factory-trimmed reset threshold, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275µs to 5.75ms), and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. It monitors system supply voltage in portable, battery-powered, and automotive applications to prevent erroneous µP execution during power-up, brownout, or power-down.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6424UK26+T datasheet, MAX6424UK26+T pinout, MAX6424UK26+T application, or MAX6424UK26+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT23-5 package, 1.6µA typical quiescent current, open-drain compatibility via logic-level flexibility, immunity to sub-50µs VCC transients, and precise 240nA SRT ramp current for repeatable timeout tuning.
Technical Context
The MAX6424UK26+T implements a precision voltage detector with laser-trimmed internal resistors setting the 2.625V reset threshold, coupled to a 240nA current source charging an external capacitor on the SRT pin to generate the reset timeout delay. Its push-pull RESET output drives low actively and pulls high to ≥0.8×VCC when deasserted, eliminating need for external pullup.
It operates across -40°C to +125°C with guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and features hysteresis of 4×VTH (≈10.5mV) plus immunity to short VCC transients - a 100mV overdrive glitch lasting ≤50µs typically does not trigger reset. The device uses BiCMOS process with 295 transistors and requires no external components beyond the SRT capacitor for full functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.625V ±2.5% at -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable detection of VCC drop below nominal 2.625V across full industrial temp range |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typ at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to 5.75ms (CSRT = 0 to 1500pF) - supports µP reset timing requirements from fast-boot to safety-critical hold durations |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - allows use with 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - provides rail-to-rail drive strength (≥1.2mA sink at VCC ≥ 2.7V) without external pullup resistor |
| SRT Ramp Current | 240nA ±20% - defines linear capacitor charging rate for predictable, temperature-stable timeout period |
| Supply Voltage Hysteresis | 10.5mV (4×VTH) - prevents oscillation near threshold during slow VCC transitions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6424UK26+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (package code U5+2, outline 21-0057), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and thermal pad option. Pin 3 is NC (not internally connected) and may be tied to GND for mechanical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and SRT capacitor discharge path |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output - sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.7V; drives high to ≥0.8×VCC |
| 3 | N.C. | No internal connection - electrically isolated; may be grounded for PCB mechanical reinforcement |
| 4 | SRT | Set Reset Timeout input - accepts 240nA constant current to charge external capacitor for adjustable delay |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage and monitored rail - powers device and sets reset threshold reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN26T1G | 2.63V threshold, 1.3µA ICC, fixed 200ms timeout, SOT23-5, open-drain output | Lacks adjustable timeout and push-pull drive; requires external pullup; higher timeout limits fast-boot systems | Select when fixed long timeout suffices and open-drain logic compatibility with multiple supply domains is needed |
| TLV809EC26DBZR | 2.63V threshold, 0.65µA ICC, fixed 140ms timeout, SOT23-3, push-pull output | 3-pin package omits SRT adjustability; no capacitor-based timeout tuning; lower ICC but inflexible timing | Choose for ultra-low-power, space-constrained designs where fixed 140ms reset hold is acceptable |
Compared with NCP302LSN26T1G and TLV809EC26DBZR, the MAX6424UK26+T uniquely combines push-pull drive, capacitor-adjustable timeout, and guaranteed 1V operation - making it optimal for battery-sensitive, timing-flexible, and brownout-resilient µP supervision where design margins must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6424UK26+T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6424UK26+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.625V, with accuracy of ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This stability is achieved via laser-trimmed internal resistors and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH parameter - no external calibration is required for precision brownout detection.
How do I calculate the external capacitor value needed for a specific reset timeout with the MAX6424UK26+T?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP − 275µs) / 2.735 × 10⁶, where tRP is the desired timeout in seconds and CSRT is in farads. For example, a 4.375ms timeout requires CSRT = (0.004375 − 0.000275) / 2.735e6 ≈ 1500pF. Ceramic capacitors with leakage <10nA are recommended, and layout best practices require short, isolated SRT traces to avoid timing errors.
Does the MAX6424UK26+T require an external pullup resistor on its RESET pin?
No - the MAX6424UK26+T features an active-low push-pull RESET output, meaning it actively drives both high (to ≥0.8×VCC) and low (to ≤0.4V at 3.2mA sink). Unlike open-drain supervisors, it needs no external pullup resistor, simplifying BOM and improving noise immunity in high-speed or high-capacitance bus environments.
Can the MAX6424UK26+T operate reliably during brief power supply glitches?
Yes - the MAX6424UK26+T is specifically designed to reject short VCC transients. As shown in the Typical Operating Characteristics graph "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive", it will not assert reset for a 100mV overdrive glitch lasting ≤50µs. This immunity prevents false resets in electrically noisy automotive or industrial settings.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6424UK26+T guarantees valid RESET output behavior?
The MAX6424UK26+T guarantees valid RESET output (both high and low states) down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Below 1V, output drive capability degrades significantly - so designs requiring reset assertion during deep brownout must ensure VCC remains ≥1V when RESET is active.
