Product details
Overview
MAX6425UK34-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, open-drain microprocessor reset supervisor IC designed for precise VCC monitoring and capacitor-adjustable reset timeout in space-constrained systems. It features a factory-trimmed 3.4V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1.6µA typical quiescent current, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and operates across 1.6V–5.5V supply range. It is used in battery-powered controllers and automotive ECUs requiring reliable power-on reset with flexible timing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6425UK34-T datasheet, MAX6425UK34-T pinout, MAX6425UK34-T application, or MAX6425UK34-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT23-5 open-drain output architecture, capacitor-programmable reset timeout (275µs base + 2.73×10⁶·CSRT), ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and compatibility with multi-rail logic interfaces via external pullup.
Technical Context
The MAX6425UK34-T implements a precision voltage detector with laser-trimmed internal reference and hysteresis (4×VTH), coupled to a 240nA constant-current ramp generator that charges an external capacitor on the SRT pin. Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below 3.4V; deassertion requires both VCC > 3.4V and SRT capacitor voltage ramping to 0.65V.
Its open-drain RESET output supports wired-OR configuration and logic-level translation-compatible with any pullup supply from 0V to 5.5V-and remains functional down to VCC = 1V, enabling robust operation during brownout recovery. Immunity to transients ≤50µs at 100mV overdrive is specified per Typical Operating Characteristics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.40V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures deterministic reset initiation at defined system rail level |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in portable and remote sensor applications |
| Supply Range | 1.6V to 5.5V - supports direct monitoring of 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V rails without external scaling |
| Reset Timeout Base | 275µs minimum (CSRT = 0) - guarantees minimum reset pulse width even with no external capacitor |
| SRT Ramp Current | 240nA ±20% - sets linear charging rate for external capacitor, enabling predictable timeout adjustment |
| VCC to Reset Delay | 80µs maximum (VCC falling at 1mV/µs) - ensures fast response to supply collapse before processor corruption |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain - allows bidirectional logic interfacing, wired-OR reset combining, and multi-supply compatibility |
Pinout & Package
MAX6425UK34-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (outline 21-0057), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height, optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal bias and SRT ramp current; must be low-impedance connection |
| 2 - VCC | Supply and threshold monitor input | Monitored rail input; reset asserts when voltage drops below 3.4V; valid operation down to 1.0V |
| 3 - N.C. | No internal connection | Unused pin; may be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice; no electrical function |
| 4 - SRT | Set Reset Timeout input | Connects to external capacitor (CSRT); 240nA current source charges CSRT to set timeout period |
| 5 - RESET | Open-drain reset output | Active-low signal; requires external pullup (10kΩ–100kΩ); sinks ≥50µA at VCC ≥1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | tRP = 2.73×10⁶·CSRT + 275µs - enables precise, application-specific reset hold time from ~300µs to >1s using standard ceramic capacitors |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | RESET output remains functional and logic-valid down to 1.0V supply - prevents undefined state during deep brownout recovery |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | No false reset for ≤50µs glitches at 100mV overdrive - eliminates spurious resets caused by switching noise or load dumps |
| Multi-rail logic interface support | Open-drain output compatible with pullup supplies from 0V to 5.5V - enables direct interface to 1.2V, 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V µP reset inputs |
| Laser-trimmed threshold accuracy | ±2.5% over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration or margining in safety-critical monitoring |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN34T1G | Fixed 3.4V threshold, 1.2µA IQ, SOT23-5, open-drain, but no capacitor-adjustable timeout (fixed 200ms) | Lacks programmable timeout; suitable only where fixed delay suffices and ultra-low IQ is critical | Choose NCP302LSN34T1G if timeout flexibility is unnecessary and sub-1.5µA current is mandatory. |
| TLV803EB34DBZR | 3.4V threshold, 0.5µA IQ, SOT23-5, open-drain, fixed 200ms timeout, higher accuracy (±0.5%) but no adjustable timing | Superior threshold accuracy and lower IQ, but no SRT pin - cannot adapt timeout to µP reset requirements | Choose TLV803EB34DBZR for high-precision, ultra-low-power applications where fixed 200ms is acceptable. |
Compared with NCP302LSN34T1G and TLV803EB34DBZR, the MAX6425UK34-T uniquely delivers field-programmable reset timeout via external capacitor while maintaining competitive quiescent current and automotive-grade temperature range - essential when µP startup sequences vary across product variants or require post-design tuning.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6425UK34-T?
The MAX6425UK34-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.40V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed during production and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold Accuracy" with VTH = 3.4V.
How do I calculate the reset timeout period for MAX6425UK34-T?
The reset timeout period tRP for MAX6425UK34-T is calculated as tRP = (2.73 × 10⁶) × CSRT + 275µs, where CSRT is the capacitance (in farads) connected between the SRT pin and GND. For example, a 33nF capacitor yields tRP ≈ 91ms. The formula is derived from the 240nA internal ramp current and 0.65V trip threshold.
Can MAX6425UK34-T drive a 5V microcontroller reset input from a 3.3V supply system?
Yes. The MAX6425UK34-T features an open-drain RESET output, allowing an external pullup resistor to any voltage rail up to 5.5V. When used in a 3.3V system, connect the pullup to 5V - the output will sink current to assert RESET low and float high to allow the 5V rail to define the logic-high level, enabling seamless cross-rail interfacing.
Is MAX6425UK34-T qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX6425UK34-T is rated for -40°C to +125°C operation and meets automotive ambient requirements, but it is not explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive applications requiring formal qualification, select the /V suffix variant (e.g., MAX6425UK34-V+T), which undergoes additional stress testing and screening per AEC-Q100 Rev H.
What capacitor type is recommended for the SRT pin on MAX6425UK34-T?
A low-leakage ceramic capacitor is recommended for the SRT pin on MAX6425UK34-T, with leakage <10nA. X7R or C0G dielectrics are preferred; avoid high-leakage types like Y5V or electrolytic. Typical values range from 1nF to 100nF, yielding timeouts from ~300µs to ~270ms. Keep SRT traces short and away from noisy signals to prevent timing errors.
