Product details
Overview
MAX6424UK29+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with active-low push-pull reset output, 2.925V 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 voltages from 1.6V to 5.5V and is used in battery-powered controllers to prevent code-execution errors during brownout conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6424UK29+T datasheet, MAX6424UK29+T pinout, MAX6424UK29+T application, or MAX6424UK29+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, quiescent current (1.6µA typ at 2V), SRT capacitor-based timeout tuning, push-pull drive capability (3.2mA sink at 4.5V), and SOT23-5 package compatibility with NCP300–NCP303 and MC33464 series.
Technical Context
The MAX6424UK29+T implements a precision voltage detector with laser-trimmed internal resistors to set its 2.925V reset threshold, supported by 33mV hysteresis for noise immunity. Its reset assertion logic responds to VCC falling below threshold within 80µs, and deassertion is delayed by an externally adjustable timeout determined by a 240nA ramp current charging the SRT capacitor to 0.65V.
This device operates across –40°C to +125°C with supply current scaling from 1.6µA (at VCC ≤ 2.0V) to 4.2µA (at VCC ≤ 5.0V). The push-pull RESET output guarantees VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink and VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at 800µA source, ensuring robust interface to µP reset inputs without external pull-up components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.925V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature ranges |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in portable medical or sensor nodes |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to 5.75ms (CSRT = 0 to 1500pF) - supports µP power-up sequencing from fast microcontrollers to slow FPGA configuration |
| RESET Output Drive | 3.2mA sink at VCC ≥ 4.5V, VOL ≤ 0.4V - directly drives standard CMOS reset inputs without level-shifting |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - valid reset assertion down to 1V allows monitoring of deeply discharged Li-ion or supercapacitor-backed rails |
| VCC to RESET Delay | 80µs maximum at 1mV/µs VCC fall rate - fast response prevents spurious execution during rapid supply collapse |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded controller applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6424UK29+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 exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 1 is marked via dot; pin order follows standard SOT23 orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Supply voltage input and reset threshold monitor | Primary power rail connection; internal voltage divider references this node to generate 2.925V threshold |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal biasing and SRT ramp current; must be low-impedance for accurate timeout timing |
| 3 - SRT | Set Reset Timeout input | Connects to external capacitor (CSRT); 240nA constant current charges it to 0.65V to define timeout period |
| 4 - N.C. | No internal connection | Unbonded die pad; may be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practices - no electrical function |
| 5 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin low during fault; actively pulls high after timeout - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise µP reset hold time tuning (275µs–5.75ms) using a single low-leakage ceramic capacitor on SRT |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior even as battery voltage collapses - critical for energy-harvesting and backup systems |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs duration when VCC dips 100mV below threshold - prevents false resets in noisy power environments |
| Low quiescent current (1.6µA typ) | Minimizes standby power draw in always-on battery-powered devices such as portable diagnostics and remote sensors |
| Laser-trimmed reset threshold accuracy | ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration in production test |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN29T1G | 2.9V fixed threshold, 200ms factory-fixed timeout, 0.8µA IQ, SOT23-5 | Lacks adjustable timeout; suitable only where fixed delay suffices | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 200ms reset hold is acceptable and layout space is constrained |
| MC33464D-29SEFR2 | 2.9V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.2µA IQ, SOT23-5, open-drain output | Requires external pull-up; not push-pull - adds BOM item and leakage sensitivity | Prefer when interfacing to mixed-voltage systems needing level translation, but avoid if minimizing component count is critical |
Compared with MAX6424UK29+T, NCP302LSN29T1G offers lower quiescent current but forfeits timeout flexibility, while MC33464D-29SEFR2 trades push-pull convenience for open-drain versatility - MAX6424UK29+T uniquely balances adjustability, drive strength, and ultra-low power in one SOT23-5 package.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6424UK29+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6424UK29+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.925V, with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This specification is laser-trimmed at wafer sort and validated per Analog Devices' production test flow. The device maintains guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, making MAX6424UK29+T suitable for applications where supply rails decay slowly under load.
How do I calculate the external capacitor value needed for a specific reset timeout with MAX6424UK29+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) / 2.735 × 10⁶ = 1500pF. MAX6424UK29+T requires low-leakage ceramic capacitors (≤10nA) - X7R or C0G types are recommended to maintain timing accuracy across temperature.
Does MAX6424UK29+T require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No. MAX6424UK29+T features an active-low push-pull RESET output, meaning it actively drives both high and low states. Unlike open-drain supervisors, MAX6424UK29+T does not require an external pull-up resistor - simplifying BOM and eliminating leakage-related timing uncertainty. This makes MAX6424UK29+T ideal for low-power designs where every nanoamp counts.
Can MAX6424UK29+T be used in automotive applications, and is it AEC-Q100 qualified?
The MAX6424UK29+T is rated for –40°C to +125°C operation and shares the same process and qualification baseline as AEC-Q100 qualified variants in the family (e.g., MAX6340UK31/V+T). While MAX6424UK29+T itself is not individually listed in the AEC-Q100 certificate, its design, BiCMOS process, and package meet automotive reliability requirements. For formal qualification, consult Analog Devices' automotive product roadmap or contact Aetrix for certified alternatives.
What is the maximum VCC slew rate that MAX6424UK29+T can tolerate without issuing a false reset?
MAX6424UK29+T is immune to VCC transients ≤50µs in duration when the dip magnitude is ≤100mV below the 2.925V threshold - verified per the "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive" curve in the datasheet. At slower slew rates (e.g., 1mV/µs), the VCC-to-RESET delay is guaranteed ≤80µs. This transient immunity ensures MAX6424UK29+T remains stable during switching regulator ripple or coupled noise in dense PCB layouts.
