Product details
Overview
MAX6425UK27+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 2.7V 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 supply voltage in battery-powered embedded controllers and portable equipment to prevent erroneous code execution during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6425UK27+T datasheet, MAX6425UK27+T pinout, MAX6425UK27+T application, or MAX6425UK27+T equivalent, key selection factors include its SOT23-5 open-drain RESET output, 1.6µA typical quiescent current, -40°C to +125°C operating range, and compatibility with multi-supply logic interfacing via external pullup.
Technical Context
The MAX6425UK27+T implements a precision voltage-detection circuit with laser-trimmed internal resistors to set the 2.7V reset threshold, coupled with a 240nA constant-current ramp source charging an external capacitor on the SRT pin. Reset deassertion occurs when the SRT voltage reaches 0.65V after VCC recovers above threshold.
Its open-drain RESET output supports wired-OR configurations and logic-level translation across supplies from 0V to 5.5V, while immunity to transients ≤50µs at 100mV overdrive ensures robust operation in noisy power environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.700V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for 2.7V/3.3V systems |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typ at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Timeout Range | 0.275ms to >10ms via 0–10nF SRT capacitor - configurable delay avoids premature µP release during slow power ramps |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V - valid reset assertion even during deep brownout or ultra-low-VCC startup |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows shared reset bus and level-shifting with external pullup resistor |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| VCC to RESET Delay | 80µs max - fast response to supply collapse prevents instruction corruption |
Pinout & Package
MAX6425UK27+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (package code U5+2), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is SRT (Set Reset Timeout), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is RESET (open-drain output), Pin 4 is N.C., and Pin 5 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SRT | Capacitor-adjustable timeout input | Connects to external timing capacitor; 240nA ramp current charges CSRT to 0.65V to define reset hold time |
| 2 - GND | Analog and digital ground reference | Common return path for internal bias and reset comparator; must be low-impedance for accurate threshold tracking |
| 3 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives low during fault; requires external pullup to any logic supply (0–5.5V) for system reset signaling |
| 4 - N.C. | No internal connection | May be tied to GND for mechanical stability; no electrical function or signal routing required |
| 5 - VCC | Supply and monitored voltage input | Powers device and serves as input to precision voltage detector; valid operation from 1.0V to 5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise tailoring of reset hold time (0.275ms–10ms+) to match specific µP power-up sequencing requirements |
| Open-drain RESET with 5.5V-tolerant output | Permits direct interface to 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V µP reset inputs without level translators or voltage dividers |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout conditions where many supervisors fail silently |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤50µs at 100mV overdrive, eliminating false resets in electrically noisy automotive or industrial power rails |
| Laser-trimmed threshold accuracy | Delivers ±1.5% initial accuracy and ±2.5% over full temperature range-critical for tight-margin 2.7V/3.3V systems |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN27T1G | Fixed 2.7V threshold, 200ms fixed timeout, push-pull output, no SRT pin | Lacks capacitor-adjustable timeout and open-drain flexibility; requires redesign if wired-OR or multi-supply reset needed | Select when fixed long timeout suffices and board space permits larger SOT23-3 footprint |
| TLV803EB27DBZR | 2.7V threshold, 200ms fixed timeout, open-drain output, 1.8µA IQ, same SOT23-5 pinout | Same package and output type but fixed timeout limits adaptability to varying µP requirements | Choose for drop-in replacement where timeout flexibility is unnecessary and TI sourcing is preferred |
Compared with NCP302LSN27T1G and TLV803EB27DBZR, the MAX6425UK27+T uniquely combines open-drain output, capacitor-adjustable timeout, and guaranteed 1V operation-enabling design reuse across diverse µP platforms without layout changes or timeout compromises.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6425UK27+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6425UK27+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.700V, with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This tolerance ensures reliable brownout detection in 2.7V/3.3V systems despite thermal drift, and is achieved via laser-trimmed internal resistors. The MAX6425UK27+T datasheet specifies VTH = 2.633V (min) to 2.768V (max) across temperature.
Can MAX6425UK27+T drive a 5V microcontroller reset input using its open-drain output?
Yes, the MAX6425UK27+T open-drain RESET output is rated for up to 5.5V, allowing direct connection to a 5V µP reset input via an external pullup resistor (e.g., 10kΩ to 5V). When asserted, RESET pulls low to <0.4V at 3.2mA sink current; when released, the pullup defines the high level. This eliminates level-shifters and supports mixed-voltage system designs. The MAX6425UK27+T's output structure is explicitly designed for this multi-supply interoperability.
How do I calculate the SRT capacitor value for a 4.5ms reset timeout with MAX6425UK27+T?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP − 275µs) / 2.735 × 10⁶, where tRP is in seconds. For 4.5ms: CSRT = (0.0045 − 0.000275) / 2,735,000 ≈ 1545pF. A standard 1500pF ceramic capacitor yields ~4.375ms (within datasheet spec), and leakage <10nA is required. The MAX6425UK27+T's SRT pin must be routed short and away from noise sources to maintain timing accuracy.
Is MAX6425UK27+T compatible with the same PCB footprint as NCP302LSN27T1G?
No, MAX6425UK27+T uses a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (pins: SRT, GND, RESET, N.C., VCC), while NCP302LSN27T1G is a 3-pin SOT23-3 (VDD, GND, RESET). They are not pin-compatible. The MAX6425UK27+T requires four dedicated traces (including SRT and N.C.), whereas the NCP302 lacks timeout adjustment and N.C. functionality. Board redesign is necessary for substitution.
Does MAX6425UK27+T meet AEC-Q100 automotive qualification standards?
The MAX6425UK27+T itself is not individually AEC-Q100 qualified per the datasheet; only the MAX6340UK31/V+T variant is explicitly listed as AEC-Q100 qualified. However, MAX6425UK27+T shares the same BiCMOS process, -40°C to +125°C operating range, and automotive-grade reliability testing as qualified variants. For mission-critical automotive use, confirm qualification status with Analog Devices' latest compliance documentation before final design-in. The MAX6425UK27+T is widely deployed in non-safety-critical automotive modules.
