Product details
Overview
MAX6424UK31+T from Analog Devices 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 threshold). It features capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (3.0–5.75ms with 1500pF), 1.6µA typical quiescent current, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C. It is used in battery-powered controllers and automotive ECUs for reliable power-on reset sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6424UK31+T datasheet, MAX6424UK31+T pinout, MAX6424UK31+T application, or MAX6424UK31+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.075V reset threshold accuracy (±2.5% over temperature), SOT23-5 package compatibility with NCP300–NCP303 and MC33464/MC33465, and push-pull output drive capability without external pullup.
Technical Context
The MAX6424UK31+T implements a precision voltage-detection comparator with laser-trimmed internal resistors to set its 3.075V nominal reset threshold. Its reset timeout is generated by a 240nA internal ramp current charging an external capacitor (SRT-to-GND), with deassertion triggered at 0.65V.
It uses BiCMOS process technology and integrates hysteresis (4×VTH) to prevent chatter during slow VCC transitions. The push-pull RESET output drives high/low actively - no external pullup required - and remains valid over full VCC range (1.0V to 5.5V) and industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.075V (typ), ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures deterministic reset assertion across automotive/industrial thermal environments |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA (typ) at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered portable systems |
| Reset Timeout | 3.00–5.75ms (with CSRT = 1500pF) - configurable via external capacitor to match µP reset timing requirements |
| Supply Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation during brownout and low-VCC conditions where other supervisors fail |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and reduces BOM count |
| VCC to RESET Delay | 80µs (VCC falling at 1mV/µs) - provides fast response to supply collapse without false triggering on transients |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6424UK31+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (package code U5+2), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel format. Pin 1 = SRT (Set Reset Timeout), Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = RESET (active-low push-pull), Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SRT) | Capacitor-adjustable timeout input | Connects to external timing capacitor; 240nA internal current source charges it to 0.65V to determine reset hold time |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET output sink current |
| 3 (RESET) | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset input directly; sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V, no pullup needed |
| 4 (GND) | Second ground terminal | Reduces ground impedance and improves noise immunity in high-noise environments |
| 5 (VCC) | Supply and voltage monitor input | Monitors system rail; reset asserted when VCC drops below 3.075V ±2.5%; valid down to 1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise timing alignment with diverse µP reset requirements using a single external capacitor (CSRT) |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures clean, deterministic reset assertion even during deep brownout - critical for automotive safety-critical subsystems |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs duration when VCC dips 100mV below threshold - prevents spurious resets in noisy power domains |
| Low 1.6µA quiescent current | Extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as telematics and sensor nodes |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates external pullup resistor, simplifies layout, and guarantees logic-level compatibility across 1.0–5.5V supply rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN30T1G | Fixed 3.0V threshold (±1.5%), 0.9µA ICC, open-drain output, no adjustable timeout | Lacks capacitor-programmable delay; requires external pullup; lower quiescent current but less flexible timing | Select when fixed timing and ultra-low ICC outweigh need for timeout tuning |
| MC33464D-30SEFR2 | 3.0V threshold (±2.5%), 1.5µA ICC, push-pull output, fixed 200ms timeout (non-adjustable) | Fixed long timeout unsuitable for fast-boot µPs; same package but incompatible SRT pin function | Choose only if system requires long, fixed reset hold time and SRT pin is unused |
Compared with NCP302LSN30T1G and MC33464D-30SEFR2, MAX6424UK31+T uniquely combines adjustable timeout, push-pull drive, and 3.075V threshold with automotive-grade temperature range - enabling precise, low-BOM-count reset control where timing flexibility and active drive are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6424UK31+T?
The MAX6424UK31+T has a nominal reset threshold of 3.075V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and confirmed per Table 1 in the datasheet, where suffix "31" corresponds to min/typ/max values of 2.998V/3.075V/3.152V.
Does MAX6424UK31+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6424UK31+T does not require an external pullup resistor because it features an active-low push-pull RESET output. The internal driver actively pulls low and sources current to pull high - ensuring valid logic levels across VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V without external components.
How is the reset timeout period set for MAX6424UK31+T?
The reset timeout period for MAX6424UK31+T is set by connecting an external capacitor (CSRT) between the SRT pin and GND. With CSRT = 1500pF, tRP = 3.00–5.75ms; the relationship is tRP = (2.73 × 10⁶ × CSRT) + 275µs, where CSRT is in farads and tRP in seconds. Ceramic capacitors with leakage <10nA are recommended.
Is MAX6424UK31+T qualified for automotive applications?
While MAX6424UK31+T shares the same package, temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and design platform as AEC-Q100–qualified variants like MAX6340UK31/V+T, the MAX6424UK31+T itself is not explicitly AEC-Q100 certified per the datasheet. For automotive safety-critical use, confirm qualification status with Analog Devices or select the /V+T variant.
Can MAX6424UK31+T operate reliably below 1.6V supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6424UK31+T is specified to operate down to VCC = 1.0V and guarantees valid RESET output functionality to VCC = 1.0V. Its internal comparator and ramp circuit remain functional at this level, enabling brownout detection in ultra-low-voltage systems where other supervisors cease operation.
