Product details
Overview
MAX6425UK23 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 2.313V factory-trimmed reset threshold, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (275µs base + 2.73×10⁶·CSRT), and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. It monitors system supply voltage in portable, automotive, and medical equipment where reliable power-on reset and brownout protection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6425UK23 datasheet, MAX6425UK23 pinout, MAX6425UK23 application, or MAX6425UK23 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for voltage-monitoring reset circuits in space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6425UK23 uses a precision internal 0.65V reference and 240nA laser-trimmed ramp current source to generate a capacitor-controlled reset timeout period. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports logic-level interfacing across supplies up to 5.5V.
It features hysteresis of 4×VTH (≈9.25mV), immunity to VCC transients ≤50µs when overdriven by 100mV below VTH, and valid reset assertion even as VCC falls to 1.0V - enabling robust operation during deep brownouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.313V ±2.5% (factory-laser-trimmed; enables precise power-rail monitoring at 2.3V systems) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V (supports operation during deep undervoltage conditions before µP shutdown) |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V (enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring) |
| Reset Timeout Base | 275µs minimum (capacitor-adjustable up to milliseconds; ensures µP initialization completes) |
| VCC to Reset Delay | 80µs (fast response to supply collapse; prevents code corruption during rapid droop) |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain (allows wired-OR reset combining and flexible logic-level translation) |
| Hysteresis | 4 × VTH ≈ 9.25mV (prevents chatter near threshold during slow VCC recovery) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6425UK23 is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (3.0mm × 1.7mm × 1.3mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal bias and ramp current; must be low-impedance for accurate timeout timing |
| 2 - VCC | Supply & threshold monitor input | Monitored rail; powers device and sets reset trigger point; valid down to 1.0V |
| 3 - N.C. | No internal connection | Unbonded die pad; may be tied to GND for mechanical stability but has no electrical function |
| 4 - SRT | Set Reset Timeout input | Connects to external timing capacitor; 240nA constant-current ramp source charges CSRT to 0.65V |
| 5 - RESET | Active-low open-drain output | Drives low during reset; requires external pullup (10kΩ–100kΩ) to any compatible logic supply (0–5.5V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise tailoring of reset hold time (275µs to >10ms) without firmware or external logic |
| Open-drain RESET with 5.5V tolerance | Permits direct interface to µPs with different I/O voltages (e.g., 1.8V core + 3.3V I/O) via single pullup |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion even during severe brownout-critical for fail-safe embedded control |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs at 100mV overdrive, eliminating false resets in noisy automotive/industrial environments |
| Laser-trimmed 2.313V threshold | Delivers ±2.5% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C-no calibration needed for 2.3V rail supervision |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-monitoring reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302HS23T1G | Fixed 2.3V threshold; 200ms min timeout (non-adjustable); push-pull output | Requires redesign for open-drain interface and timing flexibility; lacks transient immunity spec | Choose only if fixed timeout suffices and board layout allows push-pull drive |
| TLV803EB23DBZR | 2.32V threshold; 140ms min timeout; open-drain; higher 4.5µA ICC | Higher quiescent current reduces battery life; no published transient immunity data | Acceptable for non-battery apps where 2.8× higher ICC is tolerable |
Compared with MAX6425UK23, NCP302HS23T1G offers simpler BOM but sacrifices timing programmability and open-drain flexibility, while TLV803EB23DBZR matches the output type and threshold closely but doubles supply current and lacks documented glitch rejection-making MAX6425UK23 the optimal choice for long-life, noise-immune 2.3V supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6425UK23?
The MAX6425UK23 features a factory-laser-trimmed reset threshold of 2.313V, with ±2.5% accuracy over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet and corresponds to the "23" suffix. The MAX6425UK23 does not require external calibration and maintains this precision across temperature and supply variations.
Does the MAX6425UK23 support capacitor-adjustable reset timeout, and how is it calculated?
Yes, the MAX6425UK23 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 in farads. For example, a 1500pF capacitor yields ~4.375ms timeout. The internal 240nA ramp current charges CSRT to 0.65V to deassert RESET - a key feature of the MAX6425UK23 architecture.
What is the recommended pullup resistor value for the open-drain RESET output of the MAX6425UK23?
A 10kΩ to 100kΩ external pullup resistor is recommended for the MAX6425UK23's open-drain RESET output. This range ensures reliable logic-high levels under all load conditions while minimizing current draw. The resistor connects between RESET and the target logic supply (0–5.5V). Lower values improve noise immunity; higher values reduce power - both are valid depending on system requirements for the MAX6425UK23 implementation.
Can the MAX6425UK23 operate reliably during fast VCC transients, and what is its immunity specification?
Yes, the MAX6425UK23 is specifically designed to reject short VCC transients. It remains immune to negative-going glitches ≤50µs in duration when the overdrive is 100mV below the 2.313V threshold - a key specification verified in the "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive" graph. This makes the MAX6425UK23 suitable for automotive and industrial environments where supply noise is common.
Is the MAX6425UK23 pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX642x family or industry alternatives?
The MAX6425UK23 shares the same 5-pin SOT23-5 package and pinout as MAX6424, MAX6426, and MAX6340 - making it drop-in replaceable within that group. It is also explicitly stated as pin-compatible with NCP300–NCP303, MC33464/MC33465, S807/S808/S809, and RN5VD series devices. However, output type (open-drain) and threshold (2.313V) must be verified per application when substituting - the MAX6425UK23's compatibility is physical and functional only within these defined boundaries.
