Product details
Overview
MAX6443US29L+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, and 2.925V VCC reset threshold. It monitors VCC only, asserts RESET for 210ms (typ) after VCC recovery, and requires MR1 to be held low ≥6.72s to trigger a manual reset pulse. Used in set-top boxes and DVD players for reliable power-on initialization.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6443US29L+T datasheet, MAX6443US29L+T pinout, MAX6443US29L+T application, or MAX6443US29L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.925V fixed reset threshold, 6.72s manual reset setup period, SOT143-4 package, -40°C to +85°C operation, and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.0V.
Technical Context
The MAX6443US29L+T implements a precision voltage monitor with factory-trimmed 2.925V reset threshold (±0.075V), 60ppm/°C tempco, and 2×VTH hysteresis. Its internal timing circuit enforces a 6.72s minimum low-time on MR1 before asserting RESET, rejecting nuisance switch closures.
RESET is a push-pull output guaranteed functional from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V, with VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 50µA and VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 200µA. The device draws only 6µA (typ) at VCC = 3.6V and operates across the full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.925V ±0.075V - precise brownout detection point for 3.3V systems |
| Manual Reset Setup Period (tMR) | 6.72s (L suffix) - prevents accidental resets from brief front-panel button presses |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms (typ), 140ms (min) - ensures µP reset pulse meets minimum assertion time requirements |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 6µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables ultra-low-power always-on monitoring in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid RESET output even during deep brownout conditions |
| Package | SOT143-4 - compact 1.3mm × 2.1mm footprint for space-constrained consumer PCBs |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6443US29L+T is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (U4+1 outline). Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is VCC, Pin 3 is MR1, and Pin 4 is RESET. All pins are rated for -0.3V to +6V absolute max, with MR1 featuring an internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output drivers |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input and monitored voltage source for primary reset function |
| 3 | MR1 | Active-low manual reset input with 6.72s extended setup requirement; internally pulled up to VCC |
| 4 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output; drives µP reset pin directly without external pullup |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Extended Manual Reset Setup | 6.72s MR1 hold time eliminates false resets from mechanical switch bounce or user hesitation |
| Precision Fixed Reset Threshold | 2.925V ±0.075V threshold optimized for 3.3V rail monitoring with 60ppm/°C stability |
| Low-Power Operation | 6µA typical supply current enables integration into always-on subsystems without impacting battery life |
| Valid RESET Down to 1.0V VCC | Guaranteed logic-level RESET output even as main supply collapses, ensuring deterministic µP behavior |
| Push-Pull RESET Output | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor, reducing BOM count and PCB area in cost-sensitive designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6316LUK29D3+T | Same 2.93V threshold, 140ms timeout, but SOT23-5 package with open-drain RESET and no MR1 setup extension | Lacks extended manual reset; suitable only where simple pushbutton reset suffices | Select when board layout allows SOT23-5 and system does not require nuisance-proof manual reset |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 1.8V threshold, 200ms timeout, adjustable delay, SOT23-6, but no extended manual reset capability | Designed for lower-voltage rails; requires external RC network for delay tuning | Choose for 1.8V domain supervision where programmable timeout is preferred over fixed 6.72s MR1 hold |
Compared with MAX6443US29L+T, MAX6316LUK29D3+T offers identical threshold accuracy but lacks the 6.72s MR1 debounce essential for consumer front-panel reliability, while TPS3808G18DBVR targets different voltage domains and requires external components for timing control-neither provides the integrated long-setup manual reset functionality critical for set-top box and DVD player use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6443US29L+T?
The MAX6443US29L+T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.925V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±0.075V (2.85V to 3.00V) over temperature. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold" for suffix "29", and applies across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range with 60ppm/°C tempco.
How does the manual reset function work on the MAX6443US29L+T?
The MAX6443US29L+T features a single extended-setup manual reset input (MR1) that must be held low for ≥6.72 seconds (L suffix) to assert the RESET output. Shorter pulses are ignored, preventing accidental resets. MR1 has an internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC, so a simple SPST switch to ground suffices. Once asserted, RESET remains low for 210ms (typ) regardless of MR1 state.
Is the RESET output of the MAX6443US29L+T push-pull or open-drain?
The MAX6443US29L+T uses a push-pull RESET output, as confirmed by the Ordering Information table (MAX6443 row shows "✔" under "PUSH-PULL RESET") and Pin Description (RESET pin function states "Active-Low Push-Pull or Open-Drain Output"). This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and ensures strong drive capability across the full 1.0V–5.5V VCC range.
What package type and pin count does the MAX6443US29L+T use?
The MAX6443US29L+T is packaged in a 4-pin SOT143 (U4+1 outline), with dimensions 1.3mm × 2.1mm. Pin configuration is GND (1), VCC (2), MR1 (3), RESET (4), as shown in the "Pin Configurations" section and confirmed by the "MAX6443/MAX6444 SOT143" top view diagram on page 10 of the datasheet.
Does the MAX6443US29L+T support operation below 1.0V VCC?
The MAX6443US29L+T guarantees valid RESET output logic only down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Features list ("Guaranteed Valid Reset Down to VCC = 1.0V"). Below 1.0V, RESET current-sinking capability degrades; for applications requiring reset assertion down to 0V, a 100kΩ pulldown resistor is recommended per the "Ensuring a Valid RESET Down to VCC = 0V" section.
