Product details
Overview
MAX6445UK26L+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual manual-reset microprocessor supervisor IC with fixed 2.625V VCC reset threshold, 6.72s extended MR1/MR2 setup period, push-pull active-low RESET output, and guaranteed operation from -40°C to +85°C. It monitors a single supply (VCC) and supports dual long-duration manual reset inputs for nuisance-free system recovery in set-top boxes and industrial equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6445UK26L+T datasheet, MAX6445UK26L+T pinout, MAX6445UK26L+T application, or MAX6445UK26L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.625V precision reset threshold, 6.72s dual manual reset hold time, 210ms typical reset timeout, low 6µA supply current, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
This device implements dual extended-setup manual reset logic requiring simultaneous low assertion of both MR1 and MR2 for ≥6.72s to trigger a one-shot 140ms–280ms RESET pulse. Its internal 50kΩ pullup on each manual input eliminates external components while ensuring immunity to sub-6.72s switch bounce.
The VCC monitor uses a precision bandgap reference with ±0.5% threshold accuracy (2.625V ±13mV), 60ppm/°C tempco, and hysteresis of ~2×VTH. RESET remains valid down to VCC = 1.0V, with VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 1.2mA and VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.625V ±13mV - precisely holds system reset until main supply stabilizes above nominal 2.625V rail |
| Manual Reset Setup Period | 6.72s - prevents accidental resets from brief front-panel button presses; requires simultaneous MR1+MR2 low hold |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) to 280ms (max) - ensures µP completes full power-on initialization before release |
| Supply Current | 6µA (typ at 3.6V) - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed or ultra-low-power systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and automotive cabin environments |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - drives µP reset pin directly without external pullup; sinks 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.55V |
| Package | 5-pin SOT23 - 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6445UK26L+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0057), with 0.95mm pitch, 1.3mm height, and thermal pad omitted. Pin 1 is GND; pin 2 is VCC; pin 3 is MR1; pin 4 is RESET; pin 5 is MR2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 VCC | Main supply input | Power source and monitored voltage rail; supplies internal bias and powers RESET output stage |
| 3 MR1 | Extended manual reset input | Active-low input with 50kΩ internal pullup; must be held low ≥6.72s with MR2 to assert RESET |
| 4 RESET | Active-low push-pull output | Drives µP reset pin directly; asserts low for 140–280ms after valid MR1+MR2 event or VCC brownout |
| 5 MR2 | Extended manual reset input | Active-low input with 50kΩ internal pullup; requires simultaneous low assertion with MR1 for reset generation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual extended manual reset inputs | MR1 and MR2 both require ≥6.72s low assertion - prevents false resets from accidental or transient button presses |
| Precision 2.625V reset threshold | ±0.5% accuracy over temperature - ensures reliable detection of 2.6V–2.7V supply rails common in 2.5V/2.8V systems |
| Guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.0V | Output remains functional during deep brownout - maintains deterministic reset state even as supply collapses |
| Low 6µA quiescent current | Enables permanent supervision in energy-sensitive applications like remote sensors or backup power circuits |
| Push-pull RESET output | No external pullup required - simplifies BOM and layout; drives standard CMOS reset inputs directly |
Applications
| Set-Top Box Power Management | DVD Player System Recovery |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Front-panel power button triggers controlled system restart after firmware hang or HDMI handshake failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual manual reset supervisor asserting 210ms RESET pulse only after simultaneous 6.72s MR1+MR2 press - distinguishes intentional reset from channel-up/down keypresses. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate debounce hardware; prevents user-induced nuisance resets during normal operation. |
Use Scenario: Recovery from corrupted disc read state or USB peripheral enumeration failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 2.625V core supply and generates precise reset pulse upon detected undervoltage or manual reset command. Use Value: Ensures microcontroller reinitializes all peripherals (optical drive, audio DAC, video decoder) synchronously after stable power restoration. |
| Cable Modem Firmware Update | Industrial HMI Panel Reset |
|
Use Scenario: Forced reboot during failed OTA firmware update to restore bootloader functionality. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fail-safe reset independent of processor-controlled GPIO; asserts RESET for ≥140ms after 6.72s button hold. Use Value: Guarantees complete memory and register reset even if CPU hangs mid-update - no reliance on software watchdog. |
Use Scenario: Field technician-initiated system reset after configuration error or display freeze. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual MR inputs wired to service-mode buttons; requires deliberate 6.72s simultaneous press to avoid accidental activation. Use Value: Meets IEC 62368-1 requirement for deliberate human action before safety-critical reset - prevents unintended machine restart. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6445UK26T+T | Same 2.625V threshold and SOT23-5 package, but 1.68s manual reset setup period instead of 6.72s | Suitable for applications needing faster manual reset response, e.g., consumer remotes or portable devices | Select when shorter user-press duration is acceptable and higher nuisance-reset risk is tolerable |
| MAX6446UK26L+T | Identical electrical specs and timing, but open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull | Required when level-shifting to different logic families or driving multiple loads via shared bus | Choose when interfacing with 1.8V/3.3V mixed-voltage systems or when external pullup resistor is preferred |
Compared with MAX6445UK26L+T, the MAX6445UK26T+T reduces manual reset latency by 75% but increases susceptibility to accidental activation, while the MAX6446UK26L+T retains identical timing but trades push-pull drive strength for voltage-level flexibility - both serve distinct system architecture needs without altering core supervision functionality.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6445UK26L+T?
The MAX6445UK26L+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.625V, with guaranteed limits of 2.55V (min) and 2.70V (max) over -40°C to +85°C. This value is encoded in the "26" suffix per Table 1 of the datasheet and applies specifically to the MAX6445UK26L+T, not the broader MAX6445 family.
How does the dual manual reset function work on the MAX6445UK26L+T?
The MAX6445UK26L+T requires both MR1 and MR2 pins to be held low simultaneously for the full 6.72s extended setup period before asserting RESET. Neither pin alone triggers reset; the dual-input requirement adds deliberate user action, preventing false resets from single-button presses or noise on one line.
Can the MAX6445UK26L+T operate with VCC below 1.0V?
No - the MAX6445UK26L+T guarantees valid RESET output only down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this, RESET current-sinking capability degrades rapidly and output state becomes indeterminate. For operation down to 0V, an external pulldown resistor is required - but only with push-pull versions like the MAX6445UK26L+T, not open-drain variants.
What is the RESET timeout period specification for the MAX6445UK26L+T?
The MAX6445UK26L+T provides a minimum reset timeout of 140ms and a maximum of 280ms, with a typical value of 210ms. This duration is fixed and internally generated - it applies identically whether triggered by VCC brownout or by the dual manual reset input sequence.
Is the MAX6445UK26L+T pin-compatible with other parts in the MAX6443–MAX6452 family?
Yes - the MAX6445UK26L+T uses the 5-pin SOT23 package (U5+1 outline) shared with MAX6445/MAX6446/MAX6447/MAX6448 variants. Pin 1 (GND), pin 2 (VCC), pin 3 (MR1), pin 4 (RESET), and pin 5 (MR2) maintain identical mapping across all SOT23-5 versions, enabling drop-in replacement within same reset threshold and output type.
