Product details
Overview
MAX6425UK25+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with active-low open-drain reset output, 2.5V nominal reset threshold (±2.5% over temperature), capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (3.0–5.75ms at CSRT = 1500pF), and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. It monitors supply voltage in portable battery-powered systems and asserts reset during brownout or power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6425UK25+T datasheet, MAX6425UK25+T pinout, MAX6425UK25+T application, or MAX6425UK25+T equivalent, key selection factors include its SOT23-5 open-drain output compatibility with mixed-voltage µP interfaces, ultra-low 1.6µA quiescent current at 2V, and immunity to sub-50µs VCC transients exceeding 100mV below threshold.
Technical Context
The MAX6425UK25+T implements a precision voltage-detection circuit using laser-trimmed resistors to set a 2.5V reset threshold with ±2.5% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. Its internal 240nA current source charges an external capacitor on the SRT pin to generate a programmable reset timeout period.
Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below the threshold; deassertion requires both VCC rise above threshold and full ramp of the SRT capacitor to 0.65V. The open-drain RESET output supports wired-OR configuration and logic-level translation via external pullup to any supply ≤5.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.500V nominal, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Timeout | 3.00–5.75ms at CSRT = 1500pF - configurable via external capacitor to match µP reset timing requirements |
| Supply Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows level-shifting, wired-OR reset combining, and interface with 1.8V/3.3V/5V µPs |
| VCC Transient Immunity | No reset for ≤50µs negative transients ≥100mV below threshold - prevents false resets from noise or switching spikes |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6425UK25+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 performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and SRT capacitor discharge; must connect to system ground plane |
| 2 - VCC | Supply and monitor input | Primary power rail monitored for reset condition; operates down to 1.0V with valid reset output |
| 3 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor input | Connects to external capacitor (CSRT); 240nA internal current source sets tRP = 2.73×10⁶×CSRT + 275µs |
| 4 - N.C. | No internal connection | Not bonded; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability - no electrical function |
| 5 - RESET | Active-low open-drain output | Drives low during reset; requires external pullup (10kΩ–100kΩ) to target logic supply (0–5.5V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise timing alignment with diverse µP reset requirements without firmware changes or BOM variants |
| Open-drain RESET output | Supports multi-supply logic interfacing and wired-OR reset combining with auxiliary supervisors or watchdog circuits |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic system behavior during deep undervoltage events where most µPs cease operation |
| 240nA SRT ramp current | Minimizes capacitor leakage sensitivity and enables use of standard X7R ceramics instead of costly low-leakage types |
| ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over temp | Reduces need for margining in critical power-rail monitoring, especially in automotive and medical applications |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Automotive Body Control Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN25T1G | Fixed 2.5V threshold, 200ms min timeout, push-pull output, no SRT pin | Lacks timeout adjustability and open-drain flexibility; requires PCB redesign for pullup removal | Select when fixed long timeout suffices and push-pull simplifies layout |
| TLV803EB25DBZR | 2.5V threshold, 140ms min timeout, open-drain, but 3.5µA ICC at 2V (vs. 1.6µA) | Higher quiescent current reduces battery life; same SOT23-5 footprint but different pinout (RESET on pin 3) | Choose only if legacy design uses TLV803 pinout and 140ms timeout is acceptable |
Compared with NCP302LSN25T1G and TLV803EB25DBZR, the MAX6425UK25+T uniquely combines capacitor-adjustable timeout, ultra-low 1.6µA current, and verified open-drain interoperability with mixed-voltage µPs - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs requiring timing flexibility.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage tolerance for MAX6425UK25+T over temperature?
The MAX6425UK25+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.500V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. At +25°C, tolerance tightens to ±1.5%. This is laser-trimmed at wafer test and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH parameter.
Can MAX6425UK25+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.5V?
Yes - the MAX6425UK25+T guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1.0V. Below 1.0V, RESET output capability degrades, but the device continues asserting reset until VCC rises above threshold. This ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout events common in battery-powered systems.
How do I calculate the SRT capacitor value for a 10ms reset timeout with MAX6425UK25+T?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP – 275µs) / 2.735×10⁶, where tRP is in seconds. For 10ms: CSRT = (0.01 – 0.000275) / 2.735×10⁶ = 3.55nF. A standard 3.6nF ceramic capacitor yields ~10.1ms timeout. Select X7R or C0G dielectric with <10nA leakage.
Is MAX6425UK25+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX642x family?
Yes - MAX6425UK25+T shares identical 5-pin SOT23-5 pinout with MAX6340, MAX6424, and MAX6426. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = SRT, Pin 4 = N.C., Pin 5 = RESET. This enables drop-in replacement across threshold variants without layout change.
Does MAX6425UK25+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes - because MAX6425UK25+T features an open-drain RESET output, an external pullup resistor (10kΩ–100kΩ) to a logic supply (0–5.5V) is mandatory. Without it, RESET cannot transition high after timeout, causing permanent system reset. Pullup value balances speed vs. power consumption.
