Product details
Overview
MAX6443US23L+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-supply, fixed-threshold microprocessor reset supervisor IC with one extended-setup manual reset input (MR1), active-low push-pull RESET output, 2.313V VCC reset threshold, and 6.72s manual reset setup period. It monitors VCC only, asserts RESET when VCC drops below 2.313V, holds RESET low for 210ms (typ) after recovery, and consumes just 6µA at 3.6V - used in set-top boxes and DVD players to prevent brownout-induced firmware corruption.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6443US23L+T datasheet, MAX6443US23L+T pinout, MAX6443US23L+T application, or MAX6443US23L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed valid reset down to VCC = 1.0V, immunity to <20µs transients at 100mV overdrive, SOT143-4 package footprint, and precise factory-set 2.313V threshold with ±12.5mV tolerance over -40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6443US23L+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor for VCC only, with internal hysteresis of 2×VTH (≈4.6mV) and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its MR1 input features a 50kΩ internal pullup and requires a sustained low pulse of exactly 6.72s (L-suffix) to trigger a one-shot 140ms–280ms RESET assertion.
No RSTIN or second manual reset (MR2) functionality is present; it lacks adjustable monitoring capability and dual-reset logic. The push-pull RESET output drives low to ≤0.3V at 50µA sink current and high to ≥0.8×VCC, ensuring direct compatibility with 1.8V–5.5V µP reset inputs without external pullups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.313V ±12.5mV - factory-trimmed precision threshold for reliable brownout detection at nominal 2.3V rails |
| Manual Reset Setup Period (tMR) | 6.72s - extended debounce window prevents nuisance resets from front-panel switch bounce or accidental presses |
| Reset Timeout Period (tRP) | 140ms (min) to 280ms (max) - ensures µP completes full power-up initialization before release |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 6µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed or ultra-low-power consumer devices |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions down to 1.0V VCC |
| Package & Temp Range | SOT143-4, -40°C to +85°C - compact surface-mount footprint qualified for industrial and consumer ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6443US23L+T is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (outline 21-0052), with pins arranged in standard top-view order: Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = MR1, Pin 4 = RESET. All pins are rated for -0.3V to +6V absolute max, and the package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 (lead-free: +260°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC supply and internal comparator bias; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2: VCC | Power supply & monitored rail | Supplies IC core and serves as sole monitored voltage source; operation guaranteed from 1.0V to 5.5V |
| 3: MR1 | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up to VCC via 50kΩ; requires ≥6.72s low assertion to generate one-shot RESET pulse |
| 4: RESET | Active-low push-pull output | Drives µP reset pin directly; sinks ≤0.3V @ 50µA, sources ≥0.8×VCC @ 200µA - no external pullup needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision fixed reset threshold | 2.313V with ±12.5mV tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates need for external resistor dividers or calibration |
| Extended manual reset setup | 6.72s MR1 hold time - rejects all switch closures shorter than this, enabling use of unfiltered mechanical buttons |
| Low quiescent current | 6µA typical at 3.6V - extends battery life in always-on consumer electronics like DVD players and modems |
| Valid reset down to VCC = 1.0V | RESET remains functional and logic-valid even as supply collapses - prevents undefined µP state during deep brownout |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤20µs wide when falling 100mV below threshold - avoids false resets from EMI or switching noise |
Applications
| Set-Top Box Power Management | DVD Player Brownout Recovery |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: System experiences unstable AC line sags during channel change or HDMI hot-plug events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3V VCC rail and asserts RESET if voltage dips below 2.313V for >100ms, holding reset for 210ms after recovery to ensure clean µP restart. Use Value: Prevents corrupted video buffer writes and HDMI handshake failures by enforcing deterministic reset timing during marginal supply conditions. |
Use Scenario: Battery-backed real-time clock circuit sustains 1.8V rail while main 5V rail collapses during disc ejection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises primary 3.3V supply only; ignores secondary rails, asserting RESET solely on VCC breach to halt firmware execution before data loss. Use Value: Enables safe shutdown sequence initiation without requiring multi-rail monitoring complexity or additional ICs. |
| Cable Modem Front-Panel Reset | Industrial Media Player Watchdog |
Use Scenario: User holds front-panel reset button for >6.72s to force recovery from network lockup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MR1 input debounces mechanical switch closure; generates 140ms–280ms one-shot RESET pulse only after full 6.72s low assertion. Use Value: Eliminates need for external RC debounce or µP firmware polling - reduces BOM count and firmware development effort. |
Use Scenario: Embedded ARM processor in kiosk media player fails to respond to watchdog timer due to memory corruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as hardware-level fail-safe: if µP fails to toggle MR1 (via GPIO) within 6.72s window, hard reset is triggered. Use Value: Guarantees autonomous recovery without relying on software-based watchdogs vulnerable to code crashes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6444US23L+T | Identical specs except open-drain RESET output (vs. push-pull); same 2.313V threshold, 6.72s tMR, SOT143-4 package | Requires external pullup resistor to VCC or another logic rail; suited for level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus configurations | Select MAX6444US23L+T only if system requires open-drain flexibility; otherwise MAX6443US23L+T simplifies layout with push-pull drive |
| MAX6315US23D3+T | Lower 2.32V threshold (±1.5%), 200ms timeout (min), 1.6µA ICC at 3.6V, but no extended manual reset - MR input responds immediately | Lacks 6.72s debounce; unsuitable for front-panel switches without external filtering; better for low-power always-on monitoring | Choose MAX6315US23D3+T for ultra-low-current applications where manual reset is software-controlled or filtered externally |
Compared with MAX6444US23L+T, MAX6443US23L+T eliminates external pullup components and simplifies PCB routing; versus MAX6315US23D3+T, it provides robust mechanical switch interfacing at the cost of slightly higher supply current - making it optimal for consumer front-panel reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6443US23L+T?
The MAX6443US23L+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.313V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±12.5mV over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is fixed and non-adjustable, corresponding to the "23" suffix in the part number per Table 1 of the datasheet.
How does the 6.72s manual reset setup period work on the MAX6443US23L+T?
The MAX6443US23L+T requires MR1 to be held low for a minimum of 6.72 seconds (the "L" suffix) before asserting RESET. Shorter pulses are ignored entirely. Once asserted, RESET remains low for 140ms (min) to 280ms (max), then deasserts automatically - no latching or external control is needed.
Does the MAX6443US23L+T support monitoring of multiple supply rails?
No, the MAX6443US23L+T monitors only the VCC supply rail. It does not include RSTIN or dual-supply monitoring capability. For multi-rail supervision, consider MAX6449US23L+T (which adds adjustable RSTIN input) or other members of the MAX6443–MAX6452 family with "RSTIN" pin.
Can the MAX6443US23L+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.5V?
Yes - the MAX6443US23L+T guarantees valid RESET assertion and logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. Its internal circuitry remains functional and RESET output meets VOL ≤0.3V and VOH ≥0.8×VCC specifications even at 1.0V, ensuring µP reset integrity during deep brownout.
What package type and pin count does the MAX6443US23L+T use?
The MAX6443US23L+T uses a 4-pin SOT143 package (outline 21-0052), with pinout: Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = MR1, Pin 4 = RESET. It is RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free, and qualified for reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
