Product details
Overview
MAX6445UK16L+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-input, fixed-threshold microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC at 1.575V ±1.5% with 60ppm/°C tempco, featuring two extended-setup manual reset inputs (MR1/MR2), 6.72s minimum hold time, 140ms min reset timeout, and push-pull active-low RESET output. It prevents nuisance resets in consumer electronics power sequencing and front-panel control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6445UK16L+ datasheet, MAX6445UK16L+ pinout, MAX6445UK16L+ application, or MAX6445UK16L+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual extended manual reset timing (tMR = 6.72s), guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, low 6µA supply current, and immunity to <100ns glitches on MR inputs - all validated over -40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6445UK16L+ implements dual independent manual reset inputs (MR1 and MR2), both requiring simultaneous low assertion for ≥6.72s (L-suffix) before generating a one-shot 140ms–280ms RESET pulse. Its VCC monitor uses a precision bandgap reference with factory-trimmed 1.575V threshold and 60ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
RESET output is push-pull active-low, sinking up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.25V while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4V; it guarantees valid logic state across full VCC range (1.0V–5.5V). Internal 50kΩ pullups on MR1/MR2 eliminate external components for switch interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 1.575V ±1.5% - precisely sets brownout detection point for 1.6V–1.8V supply rails |
| Manual Reset Setup Period (tMR) | 6.72s typ - prevents false resets from brief front-panel button presses |
| Reset Timeout Period (tRP) | 140ms min / 210ms typ - ensures sufficient processor initialization time after power recovery |
| VCC Supply Current | 6µA typ at 3.6V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and consumer-grade embedded applications |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low - eliminates need for external pullup resistor in most µP interfaces |
| MR Input Glitch Rejection | 100ns - rejects EMI-induced noise on manual reset lines without external RC filtering |
Pinout & Package
MAX6445UK16L+ is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (U5+1 outline, 21-0057), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and thermal pad option not included. Pin 1 is GND, pin 2 is VCC, pin 3 is MR1, pin 4 is RESET, and pin 5 is MR2 - all verified per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram (SOT23-5 top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal comparators and output driver; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| VCC (Pin 2) | Supply voltage input | Power source and monitored rail; device operates and asserts reset when VCC drops below 1.575V |
| MR1 (Pin 3) | Extended manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 50kΩ pullup; requires ≥6.72s low assertion to trigger RESET pulse |
| RESET (Pin 4) | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver asserting low for 140ms min upon VCC brownout or valid MR1/MR2 event |
| MR2 (Pin 5) | Extended manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 50kΩ pullup; both MR1 and MR2 must be held low simultaneously for tMR to initiate reset |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual extended manual reset inputs | MR1 and MR2 both require simultaneous 6.72s low assertion - prevents accidental resets during normal UI interaction |
| Precision 1.575V VCC threshold | Factory-trimmed ±1.5% tolerance with 60ppm/°C tempco - ensures stable brownout detection across temperature |
| Guaranteed reset down to VCC = 1.0V | Valid RESET logic state maintained even as supply decays to 1.0V - critical for graceful shutdown sequencing |
| 6µA typical supply current | Enables use in always-on subsystems without compromising battery life in portable devices |
| 100ns MR input glitch rejection | Eliminates need for external debounce circuitry - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
Applications
| Set-Top Box Power Management | DVD Player Front-Panel Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: System recovers from brownout caused by HDMI hot-plug transients or AC line sag. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 1.6V core supply and asserts RESET for 210ms after VCC exceeds 1.575V, ensuring clean µP restart. Use Value: Prevents corrupted firmware execution during unstable power conditions using factory-calibrated threshold and tempco. |
Use Scenario: User holds "Power" and "Eject" buttons simultaneously for >6.72s to force hard reset. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual MR1/MR2 inputs enforce intentional reset action; internal 50kΩ pullups simplify switch interface. Use Value: Eliminates nuisance resets from single-button presses while enabling service-mode recovery via coordinated button press. |
| Cable Modem Boot Integrity | MP3 Player Low-Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Power-up sequence fails due to slow-ramping 3.3V rail; µP executes invalid code before voltage stabilizes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: VCC monitor holds RESET low until 3.3V exceeds 1.575V and remains asserted for 210ms post-threshold crossing. Use Value: Ensures µP remains held in reset until supply is fully regulated and stable - no external timing capacitor required. |
Use Scenario: Battery voltage decays to 1.4V during deep discharge; system must shut down cleanly before data loss. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asserts RESET at 1.575V threshold and maintains valid logic down to VCC = 1.0V, enabling controlled firmware save. Use Value: Guarantees deterministic reset behavior even under extreme low-VCC conditions where other supervisors fail. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6445UK16T+ | tMR = 1.68s (T-suffix) vs. 6.72s (L-suffix); identical VCC threshold, package, and RESET drive | Suitable for applications needing faster manual reset response, e.g., lab test fixtures with momentary switches | Select MAX6445UK16T+ only if 6.72s hold time is excessive for intended user interface; otherwise retain L-suffix for robustness |
| MAX6446UK16L+ | Open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull; same VCC threshold, tMR, and pinout | Required when level-shifting to higher-voltage logic (e.g., 5V µP reset input) or wired-OR reset bus configurations | Choose MAX6446UK16L+ only if open-drain functionality is explicitly needed; MAX6445UK16L+ simplifies design with integrated push-pull drive |
Compared with MAX6445UK16T+, the MAX6445UK16L+ provides four times longer manual reset setup period for enhanced noise immunity in consumer UIs; compared with MAX6446UK16L+, it eliminates external pullup requirements and supports direct µP reset pin connection without voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6445UK16L+?
The MAX6445UK16L+ has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 1.575V with ±1.5% tolerance (1.52V to 1.62V) and 60ppm/°C temperature coefficient. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "16", and applies across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. The MAX6445UK16L+ uses this precise threshold to detect brownout on 1.6V–1.8V supply rails without external calibration.
How does the dual manual reset function work on MAX6445UK16L+?
The MAX6445UK16L+ requires both MR1 and MR2 inputs to be held low simultaneously for ≥6.72s (L-suffix) before asserting RESET for 140ms minimum. This dual-input requirement prevents accidental resets from single-button presses. Both pins feature internal 50kΩ pullups to VCC, so simple SPST switches to ground suffice - no external resistors needed. The MAX6445UK16L+ ignores transitions shorter than 100ns to reject EMI.
Is MAX6445UK16L+ compatible with 1.0V VCC operation?
Yes, the MAX6445UK16L+ guarantees valid RESET output logic down to VCC = 1.0V, including proper VOL ≤ 0.3V when sinking 50µA. This capability is explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and enables safe shutdown sequencing in ultra-low-voltage systems. Below 1.0V, RESET behavior is not guaranteed - the MAX6445UK16L+ is not rated for sub-1.0V operation.
What package type and pin count does MAX6445UK16L+ use?
The MAX6445UK16L+ uses a 5-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0057, land pattern 90-0174), with pin 1 = GND, pin 2 = VCC, pin 3 = MR1, pin 4 = RESET, and pin 5 = MR2. This compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint is verified in the Pin Configurations section and supported by Maxim's official package drawings. The MAX6445UK16L+ does not use SOT143 or 6-pin variants.
Does MAX6445UK16L+ support adjustable reset thresholds?
No, the MAX6445UK16L+ is a fixed-threshold device monitoring only VCC at 1.575V. Adjustable threshold capability (via RSTIN pin) is exclusive to MAX6449–MAX6452 variants - the MAX6445UK16L+ lacks the RSTIN pin and associated comparator. Its datasheet confirms no RSTIN functionality, and the pinout shows only GND, VCC, MR1, RESET, and MR2 - five terminals total.
