Product details
Overview
MAX6426UK39+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisor IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 3.9V ±2.5% factory-trimmed reset threshold, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (2.73×10⁶ × CSRT + 275µs), 1.6µA typical quiescent current, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V - used for brownout protection in battery-powered embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6426UK39+T datasheet, MAX6426UK39+T pinout, MAX6426UK39+T application, or MAX6426UK39+T equivalent, key selection factors include its SOT23-5 open-drain RESET output, 3.9V threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, capacitor-programmable timeout, immunity to sub-50µs VCC transients, and compatibility with multi-rail logic interfacing.
Technical Context
The MAX6426UK39+T implements a precision voltage-monitoring circuit with laser-trimmed internal resistors defining a 3.9V reset threshold, referenced to an internal 0.65V ramp comparator. Its SRT pin sources a stable 240nA current to charge an external capacitor, generating a programmable delay before reset deassertion.
It features open-drain RESET output requiring an external pullup, valid for VCC ≥ 1V, with VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink and leakage <1.0µA when not asserted. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C and supports wired-OR reset configurations via its open-drain topology.
Key Specifications

| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6426UK39+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (package code U5+2), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel format. Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = SRT, Pin 4 = N.C., Pin 5 = RESET (open-drain).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Supply and threshold monitor input | Power rail input; internally monitored against 3.9V reference; must be ≥1.0V for valid reset operation |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground return; required for accurate threshold sensing and SRT ramp current reference |
| 3 - SRT | Set Reset Timeout input | 240nA constant-current source pin; connects to external capacitor to program reset timeout period |
| 4 - N.C. | No internal connection | Unbonded die pad; may be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice; no electrical function |
| 5 - RESET | Open-drain reset output | Active-low signal; requires external pullup (10kΩ–100kΩ) to any supply ≤5.5V; sinks up to 3.2mA |
Key Features

Applications
| Battery-Powered Medical Monitor | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Portable ECG device powered by single-cell Li-ion (2.8–4.2V) with ultra-low-power MCU and analog front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises VCC to assert RESET during battery sag below 3.9V, holding µP in reset until stable supply returns and timeout expires. Use Value: Prevents corrupted memory writes or sensor misreads during transient brownout; 1.6µA ICC extends battery runtime beyond 5 years in standby. |
Use Scenario: Under-dash BCM operating across –40°C to +105°C ambient, powered from vehicle battery (9–16V) with local 3.3V LDO. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3V LDO output; triggers open-drain RESET to coordinate safe shutdown/restart during ignition cycling or load-dump recovery. Use Value: Open-drain output interfaces directly to 5V CAN transceiver reset line; AEC-Q100-aligned thermal performance ensures reliability in harsh automotive environment. |
| Industrial IoT Sensor Node | Set-Top Box Power Sequencing |
|
Use Scenario: LoRaWAN node with intermittent wake-up, powered by energy harvester or coin cell, requiring fail-safe boot integrity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects insufficient startup voltage on 3.3V rail; asserts RESET until VCC exceeds 3.9V and remains stable for programmable timeout. Use Value: Capacitor-adjustable timeout (e.g., 4.375ms with 1500pF) matches exact µP POR requirement; low ICC avoids draining weak energy sources. |
Use Scenario: Consumer STB with multiple voltage rails (12V, 5V, 3.3V, 1.2V); requires controlled power-up sequence and brownout recovery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors critical 3.3V core rail; RESET output drives enable logic for downstream DC/DC converters and FPGA configuration. Use Value: Open-drain RESET allows wired-OR with other supervisors (e.g., 5V rail monitor), ensuring system-wide reset coordination without additional logic gates. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP302LSN39T1G | Fixed 3.9V threshold, push-pull active-low RESET, 1.2µA ICC, SOT23-5 | Lacks capacitor-adjustable timeout; timeout fixed at 200ms; no SRT pin | Select when fixed long timeout suffices and board space prohibits external capacitor; not suitable for µPs needing <1ms reset hold. |
| PST9239TR | 3.9V threshold, open-drain RESET, 1.8µA ICC, SOT23-5, pin-compatible per datasheet | Reset timeout not adjustable; uses internal RC (typ. 200ms); no SRT pin or external timing option | Drop-in replacement only if fixed timeout is acceptable; MAX6426UK39+T preferred when precise, user-defined timeout is required. |
Compared with NCP302LSN39T1G and PST9239TR, the MAX6426UK39+T uniquely provides externally programmable reset timeout via SRT capacitor while retaining open-drain flexibility and ultra-low ICC - making it optimal for designs demanding both timing precision and multi-rail interoperability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6426UK39+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6426UK39+T has a nominal reset threshold of 3.900V, with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This specification is laser-trimmed at wafer test and guaranteed per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table, ensuring consistent brownout detection across environmental extremes.
Can MAX6426UK39+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 2.0V?
Yes - the MAX6426UK39+T guarantees functional reset assertion and valid open-drain output down to VCC = 1.0V. Its internal circuitry remains active and the RESET output maintains defined logic states (low when asserted, high-impedance when released) even during deep brownout, supporting robust fail-safe behavior in Li-ion or supercapacitor-backed systems.
How do I calculate the external capacitor value needed for a specific reset timeout with MAX6426UK39+T?
Use the formula CSRT = (tRP − 275µs) / 2.735 × 10⁶, where tRP is your desired timeout in seconds and CSRT results in farads. For example, a 4.375ms timeout requires CSRT = (0.004375 − 0.000275) / 2.735e6 ≈ 1500pF. Use low-leakage ceramic capacitors (X7R/C0G) with <10nA leakage for accuracy.
Is MAX6426UK39+T pin-compatible with any industry-standard alternatives?
Yes - the MAX6426UK39+T is explicitly documented as pin-compatible with the PST92XX series (e.g., PST9239TR) in the MAX6421–MAX6426 datasheet. Both use identical 5-pin SOT23-5 pinout (VCC, GND, SRT, N.C., RESET), enabling direct PCB footprint reuse where timing adjustability is not required.
Does MAX6426UK39+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin, and what value is recommended?
Yes - because MAX6426UK39+T features an open-drain RESET output, an external pullup resistor is mandatory. A value between 10kΩ and 100kΩ to any supply ≤5.5V is recommended. For 3.3V systems sinking 1.2mA, 10kΩ ensures VOL ≤ 0.3V; for higher-impedance loads, 100kΩ reduces current draw while maintaining noise margin.
