Product details
Overview
MAX6424UK33+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC that monitors 3.3V system supply rails and asserts an active-low push-pull reset signal when VCC falls below 3.30V (±2.5% over temperature). It features capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (3.0–5.75ms with 1500pF), 1.6µA typical quiescent current, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V. It is used in battery-powered embedded controllers to prevent code execution errors during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6424UK33+T datasheet, MAX6424UK33+T pinout, MAX6424UK33+T application, or MAX6424UK33+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V reset threshold accuracy, SOT23-5 push-pull output drive capability, capacitor-programmable timeout, and AEC-Q100-compatibility path via family qualification.
Technical Context
The MAX6424UK33+T implements a precision voltage detector with laser-trimmed internal reference and hysteresis (4×VTH), coupled to a 240nA current source that charges an external capacitor on the SRT pin. Reset deassertion occurs only after the capacitor voltage ramps to 0.65V, enabling accurate, temperature-stable timeout control independent of VCC.
Its 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, eliminating need for external pull-up resistors. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C and maintains functional reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, supporting robust power sequencing in automotive and industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.30V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection at nominal 3.3V rail |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typ at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered systems |
| Reset Timeout | 4.375ms typ with 1500pF SRT capacitor - matches common µP reset hold-time requirements |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - provides direct logic-level drive without external pull-up components |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion during deep undervoltage conditions |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
| VCC to Reset Delay | 80µs max - fast response to supply collapse prevents spurious processor execution |
Pinout & Package
MAX6424UK33+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (package code U5+2), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel format. Pin 1 is SRT (Set Reset Timeout), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is RESET (active-low push-pull), Pin 4 is N.C., Pin 5 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SRT | Capacitor-Adjustable Timeout Input | Connects to external timing capacitor; 240nA ramp current sets precise reset delay |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET output stage |
| 3 - RESET | Active-Low Push-Pull Output | Drives µP reset input directly; sinks up to 3.2mA, sources ≥0.8×VCC at 800µA |
| 4 - N.C. | No Internal Connection | Not bonded; may be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| 5 - VCC | Supply & Voltage Monitor Input | Monitors system rail; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-Adjustable Reset Timeout | Enables precise, application-tailored reset hold time (275µs to >10ms) using standard ceramic capacitors |
| Guaranteed Reset Validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic µP reset state even during severe undervoltage events before shutdown |
| Immunity to Short VCC Transients | Rejects <50µs negative glitches ≥100mV below threshold - prevents false resets in noisy environments |
| Low-Leakage SRT Pin Architecture | Minimizes timing error from PCB leakage; supports accurate timeout over full temperature range |
| Push-Pull Output with Rail-to-Rail Drive | Eliminates external pull-up resistor, reduces BOM count, and improves noise margin vs open-drain alternatives |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN33T1G | Fixed 3.3V threshold, 200ms min timeout, open-drain output, higher ICC (3µA) | Lacks capacitor-adjustable timeout and push-pull drive; requires external pull-up | Choose when long fixed timeout suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs design flexibility |
| TLV803EB33DBZR | 3.3V threshold, 140ms min timeout, push-pull output, higher ICC (4µA), no adjustable timeout | Offers tighter threshold accuracy (±0.5%) but no timeout customization; limited temp range (–40°C to +105°C) | Prefer when absolute threshold precision is critical and timeout is not application-constrained |
Compared with MAX6424UK33+T, NCP302LSN33T1G requires external pull-up and lacks timeout adjustability, while TLV803EB33DBZR trades programmability for tighter threshold tolerance and reduced temperature coverage - making MAX6424UK33+T optimal for designs needing field-tunable reset duration and extended industrial temperature support.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6424UK33+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6424UK33+T has a nominal reset threshold of 3.30V, with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold Accuracy" with VTH specified as 3.30V ±2.5% across temperature. The device uses laser-trimmed resistors to achieve this stability.
Does MAX6424UK33+T require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6424UK33+T does not require an external pull-up resistor because it features an active-low push-pull RESET output. The output actively drives high to ≥0.8×VCC and low to ≤0.4V (at 3.2mA sink), providing full rail-to-rail logic levels without external components - unlike open-drain variants such as MAX6425UK33+T.
How is the reset timeout period set for MAX6424UK33+T, and what capacitor value yields ~4.4ms?
The reset timeout for MAX6424UK33+T is set by connecting a capacitor (CSRT) between the SRT pin and GND. Using the formula tRP = 2.73 × 10⁶ × CSRT + 275µs, a 1500pF capacitor yields a typical timeout of 4.375ms. Ceramic capacitors with leakage <10nA are recommended to maintain accuracy across temperature.
Is MAX6424UK33+T qualified for automotive applications?
While MAX6424UK33+T itself is not individually AEC-Q100 certified, the MAX6340 series (same family, same SOT23-5 package and process) is explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified (e.g., MAX6340UK31/V+T). Analog Devices documents pin compatibility and shared qualification pathways across the MAX6424/MAX6340 family, supporting automotive use with appropriate validation.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6424UK33+T guarantees valid RESET assertion?
MAX6424UK33+T guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, as stated in the "Guaranteed Reset Valid to VCC = 1V" feature and confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. Below 1V, output drive capability degrades significantly, so system design must ensure reset initiation occurs above this limit.
