Product details
Overview
MAX6424UK44+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with active-low push-pull reset output, 4.375V nominal reset threshold (±2.5% over temperature), capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (3.0–5.75ms with 1500pF), and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. It monitors system supply voltage in portable, battery-powered, and automotive applications to prevent erroneous code execution during power-up, brownout, or power-down.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6424UK44+T datasheet, MAX6424UK44+T pinout, MAX6424UK44+T application, or MAX6424UK44+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT23-5 package, 1.6µA typical quiescent current, 80µs VCC-to-reset delay, open-drain compatibility via internal push-pull drive, and immunity to sub-50µs VCC transients exceeding 100mV below threshold.
Technical Context
The MAX6424UK44+T implements a precision voltage-detection architecture using laser-trimmed resistors to set its 4.375V reset threshold, with ±2.5% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. Its reset assertion logic is triggered when VCC falls below VTH, and deassertion is delayed by an internal 240nA current source charging an external SRT capacitor to a 0.65V ramp threshold.
This device operates as a dedicated single-function supervisor - not a watchdog or window monitor - and guarantees valid reset signaling even as VCC declines to 1V. Its push-pull output drives directly into CMOS inputs without external pull-ups, distinguishing it from open-drain variants like MAX6425UK44+T.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.375V nominal (suffix "44"), ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for 4.5V systems |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Reset Timeout | 4.375ms typical with 1500pF SRT capacitor - ensures µP reset hold time exceeds boot ROM initialization |
| VCC to Reset Delay | 80µs maximum - responds rapidly to fast VCC droops without false triggering on noise |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor; sinks 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded use |
Pinout & Package
MAX6424UK44+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 enhancement. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin order is standard SOT23-5 configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Supply input and monitored voltage rail - must be decoupled locally; powers internal reference and comparator |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - connects to system ground plane; critical for accurate threshold sensing |
| 3 | SRT | Set-reset-time input - accepts external capacitor (CSRT) to program timeout; sensitive to leakage and stray capacitance |
| 4 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin directly; sinks up to 3.2mA at 4.5V |
| 5 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice; no electrical function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise timing tuning (275µs to >10ms) via single external capacitor - avoids fixed-delay limitations of non-programmable supervisors |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic behavior during deep undervoltage events where other supervisors fail silently |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs duration when VCC dips 100mV below threshold - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Low 1.6µA quiescent current | Minimizes battery drain in always-on monitoring - supports >10-year shelf life in coin-cell-powered IoT nodes |
| Factory-laser-trimmed threshold | Delivers ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range without calibration - reduces BOM count and test overhead |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302HSN43T1G | Fixed 4.3V threshold, no capacitor-adjustable timeout; 1.5µA IQ; SOT23-5 | Lacks programmable reset delay - requires matching fixed timeout to system requirements | Choose when design prioritizes lowest cost and fixed timing suffices |
| MC33464D-4.35D | 4.35V threshold, open-drain output, 1.8µA IQ, SOT23-5 | Requires external pull-up; less immune to VCC transients (no transient rejection spec) | Choose only if open-drain interface is mandatory and transient immunity is secondary |
Compared with NCP302HSN43T1G and MC33464D-4.35D, MAX6424UK44+T uniquely combines factory-trimmed 4.375V accuracy, capacitor-programmable timeout, push-pull drive, and documented 50µs transient immunity - making it optimal for designs requiring timing flexibility and robustness in variable-voltage environments.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6424UK44+T?
The MAX6424UK44+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.375V, with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer sort and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH parameter with suffix "44" corresponding to Table 1 entry.
Does MAX6424UK44+T require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6424UK44+T features an active-low push-pull RESET output and does not require an external pull-up resistor. Its output can directly drive CMOS reset inputs; VOL is specified at 0.3V max with 3.2mA sink current at VCC ≥ 4.5V, ensuring solid logic-low assertion without additional components.
How do I calculate the SRT capacitor value for a 6ms reset timeout with MAX6424UK44+T?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP – 275µs) / 2.735 × 10⁶, where tRP is in seconds. For 6ms: CSRT = (0.006 – 0.000275) / 2,735,000 ≈ 2095pF. Select a low-leakage ceramic capacitor (X7R or C0G) rated ≥6.3V; 2.2nF is a practical standard value yielding ~6.1ms timeout.
Is MAX6424UK44+T qualified for automotive applications?
While MAX6424UK44+T shares the same –40°C to +125°C operating range and SOT23-5 package as AEC-Q100-qualified variants (e.g., MAX6340UK31/V+T), the MAX6424UK44+T itself is not explicitly AEC-Q100 certified per the datasheet revision history and ordering information. Use only in automotive applications after completing full qualification per OEM requirements.
Can MAX6424UK44+T operate with a 1.8V supply rail?
Yes, MAX6424UK44+T operates from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V. At 1.8V, its quiescent current is 1.9µA (typ), reset threshold remains 4.375V (so it will assert reset immediately), and VOL is 0.3V max with 500µA sink - confirming functional integrity across the full voltage range.
