Product details
Overview
MAX6424UK31+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC that monitors VCC supply voltage and asserts an active-low push-pull RESET signal when voltage falls below 3.075V (typical), with capacitor-adjustable reset timeout, guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V, and 1.6µA typical quiescent current - used for reliable power-on reset in battery-powered embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6424UK31+ datasheet, MAX6424UK31+ pinout, MAX6424UK31+ application, or MAX6424UK31+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT23-5 package, 3.075V reset threshold, push-pull output drive capability, capacitor-set timeout delay, and compatibility with industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6424UK31+ implements a precision voltage monitor with laser-trimmed resistive divider and internal 0.65V reference, comparing VCC against a factory-set 3.075V threshold (±2.5% over temperature). Its reset assertion logic is triggered by VCC falling below threshold and held for a user-defined timeout period determined by external capacitor on SRT pin.
A 240nA internal current source charges the SRT capacitor; reset deassertion occurs when capacitor voltage ramps to 0.65V. The push-pull RESET output drives low to ≤0.4V at 3.2mA sink (VCC ≥ 4.5V) and high to ≥0.8×VCC at 800µA source, ensuring robust interface with µP reset inputs across supply voltages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.075V (typ), ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection for 3.3V systems |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA (typ) at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup and supports direct µP reset input drive |
| Reset Timeout Range | 275µs to >10ms via 0–15nF SRT capacitor - accommodates wide range of µP reset timing requirements |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| VCC to RESET Delay | 80µs (typ) with 1mV/µs VCC fall rate - provides fast response to supply collapse |
| Hysteresis | 4 × VTH (≈12.3mV) - prevents chatter near threshold during slow VCC transitions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6424UK31+ is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant and available in lead-free (+T) variant. Pin 3 is internally unconnected (N.C.) and may be tied to GND per layout best practice.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SRT | Set Reset Timeout input - connects to external capacitor to ground; 240nA ramp current sets timeout period |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and RESET output stage |
| 3 | N.C. | Not internally connected - recommended to tie to GND for mechanical stability and noise immunity |
| 4 | VCC | Supply voltage input and monitored rail - powers device and defines reset threshold reference |
| 5 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output - drives µP reset pin directly; sinks up to 3.2mA, sources up to 800µA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise, application-specific reset hold time (275µs minimum) without firmware or external logic |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep undervoltage events where most supervisors fail |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs duration when VCC dips 100mV below threshold - reduces false resets in noisy environments |
| Low-leakage SRT pin design | Minimizes timeout error from PCB leakage; requires short trace and no nearby high-speed signals |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.075V nominal (suffix "31") with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates calibration overhead |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Battery-Powered Industrial Controllers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG sensor operating from coin-cell battery with intermittent wake-up cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3V LDO output and asserts RESET during battery sag below 3.075V to prevent corrupted memory writes. Use Value: 1.6µA quiescent current extends battery life; capacitor-adjustable timeout aligns precisely with µP boot sequence. |
Use Scenario: Remote RTU monitoring pipeline pressure using LoRaWAN, powered by solar-charged Li-ion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors main 3.3V rail and holds µP in reset until stable after cold-start or solar intermittency. Use Value: Valid RESET down to VCC = 1V prevents spurious wakeups during partial charge; push-pull output ensures clean reset edge. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Smart Energy Metering Hardware |
Use Scenario: Door module powered from vehicle battery subject to load-dump and cranking transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects VCC drop during engine cranking and initiates controlled shutdown/reset of MCU subsystems. Use Value: Immunity to ≤50µs transients avoids false resets; -40°C to +125°C rating meets AEC-Q100 ambient requirements. |
Use Scenario: Revenue-grade electricity meter with isolated MCU and metrology ASIC requiring synchronized power-up. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates precise, adjustable reset pulse to coordinate initialization of dual-core processor and ADC. Use Value: External capacitor sets 5ms timeout matching ASIC power-rail stabilization time; SOT23-5 footprint saves board space. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN30T1G | Fixed 3.0V threshold (±2%), 1.1µA IQ, open-drain RESET, SOT23-5 | Lacks capacitor-adjustable timeout; requires external pullup; lower IQ but no timeout flexibility | Choose for ultra-low-power apps where fixed 3.0V threshold and minimal BOM count outweigh timeout adjustability |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold (±0.5%), 1.5µA IQ, push-pull RESET, SOT23-6 | Higher accuracy and lower drift, but fixed timeout (200ms typ), larger 6-pin package | Choose when tight threshold tolerance and long fixed timeout are critical, and extra pin is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6424UK31+, NCP302LSN30T1G offers lower quiescent current but sacrifices timeout adjustability and requires pullup; TPS3808G33DBVR delivers superior threshold accuracy and longer fixed timeout but uses a larger package and lacks capacitor-based tuning - MAX6424UK31+ uniquely balances adjustability, push-pull drive, and compact SOT23-5 form factor.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6424UK31+?
The MAX6424UK31+ has a nominal reset threshold of 3.075V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is factory-laser-trimmed and corresponds to the "31" suffix in the part number, per Table 1 of the datasheet.
Does MAX6424UK31+ support capacitor-adjustable reset timeout, and how is it calculated?
Yes, MAX6424UK31+ supports capacitor-adjustable reset timeout via the SRT pin. The timeout period tRP (in seconds) is calculated as tRP = (2.73 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, where CSRT is the capacitor value in farads. For example, a 1500pF capacitor yields ~4.375ms timeout.
What is the function of Pin 3 (N.C.) on MAX6424UK31+?
Pin 3 of MAX6424UK31+ is Not Connected (N.C.) internally. Though unused electrically, Maxim recommends tying it to GND to improve mechanical stability, reduce parasitic coupling, and enhance noise immunity in high-density layouts.
Can MAX6424UK31+ operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6424UK31+ guarantees valid RESET assertion and deassertion down to VCC = 1.0V. Its internal reference and comparator remain functional, and the push-pull output maintains specified VOL and VOH performance even at 1V supply - critical for brownout resilience.
Is MAX6424UK31+ pin-compatible with other members of the MAX642x family?
MAX6424UK31+ shares the same 5-pin SOT23-5 package and pinout with MAX6340, MAX6425UKxx+, and MAX6426UKxx+, but differs from MAX6421/MAX6422/MAX6423 (4-pin SC70/SOT143). Its push-pull RESET output matches MAX6421/MAX6422, unlike open-drain variants.
