Product details
Overview
MAX6445UK46L+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-manual-reset, fixed-threshold microprocessor supervisor IC with 4.625V VCC reset threshold, 6.72s extended MR1/MR2 setup period, and push-pull active-low RESET output. It monitors a single supply (VCC) and provides immunity to nuisance resets in consumer electronics power management systems requiring robust front-panel reset control.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6445UK46L+ datasheet, MAX6445UK46L+ pinout, MAX6445UK46L+ application, or MAX6445UK46L+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual extended-setup manual reset inputs, guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, 210ms typical timeout period, low 6µA supply current, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The MAX6445UK46L+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor for VCC with factory-trimmed 4.625V threshold (±130mV), 60ppm/°C tempco, and 2×VTH hysteresis. Its dual manual reset inputs (MR1 and MR2) require simultaneous low assertion for 6.72s before generating a one-shot 140ms–280ms RESET pulse.
RESET output is push-pull active-low with VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 1.2mA (VCC ≥ 2.55V) and VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA (VCC ≥ 3.15V). Internal 50kΩ pullups on MR1/MR2 eliminate external components, and the device remains functional down to VCC = 1.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±130mV tolerance; ensures reliable reset assertion during 4.5V–4.75V brownout) |
| Manual Reset Setup Period | 6.72s (simultaneous MR1 & MR2 low required; prevents false resets from brief button presses) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms typical (guaranteed ≥140ms; holds µP in reset long enough for full power stabilization) |
| VCC Supply Current | 6µA typical at 3.6V (enables battery-backed operation in always-on consumer devices) |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C (fully specified across industrial range; no derating needed) |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low (drives µP reset pin directly without external pullup; supports 1.0V–5.5V VCC) |
| Package | SOT23-5 (2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint; compatible with high-density PCB layouts) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6445UK46L+ is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (package code U5+1, outline 21-0057) with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+ suffix), and thermal pad omitted.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane for stable reset threshold accuracy |
| 2 | VCC | Main power supply input (1.0V–5.5V); powers internal comparators and drives RESET output stage |
| 3 | MR1 | Active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup; requires 6.72s low assertion to trigger RESET |
| 4 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output; asserts low for 140ms–280ms after valid MR1/MR2 or VCC fault condition |
| 5 | MR2 | Active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup; both MR1 and MR2 must be held low simultaneously for 6.72s |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual extended-setup manual reset | MR1 and MR2 both require 6.72s low assertion-prevents accidental resets during normal front-panel operation |
| Factory-trimmed 4.625V threshold | ±130mV accuracy over -40°C to +85°C ensures consistent brownout detection for 4.5V–4.75V supplies |
| Guaranteed reset down to VCC = 1.0V | Enables valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions where most supervisors fail |
| Low 6µA quiescent current | Extends battery life in portable consumer devices such as DVD players and MP3 players |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor-reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
Applications
| Set-Top Box Power Management | DVD Player System Recovery |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Front-panel power button triggers hard reset only after sustained press to avoid accidental channel-change-induced reboots. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6445UK46L+ acts as dual-input supervised reset controller, asserting RESET only when both MR1 and MR2 are held low for 6.72s. Use Value: Prevents nuisance resets during normal remote-control or panel-button usage while enabling intentional recovery via deliberate long-press. | Use Scenario: Power supply sag during disc spin-up causes transient brownout; system must hold µP in reset until voltage stabilizes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6445UK46L+ monitors 4.625V VCC rail and asserts RESET for 210ms after voltage recovers above threshold. Use Value: Ensures µP remains held in reset throughout the entire voltage recovery window, eliminating corrupted firmware execution. |
| Cable Modem Firmware Update | Industrial Control Panel Reset |
Use Scenario: Field technician performs emergency firmware reload by pressing two dedicated panel buttons simultaneously. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6445UK46L+ serves as secure dual-button reset enabler-both MR1 and MR2 must be asserted for 6.72s to initiate recovery sequence. Use Value: Adds physical security layer against unintended firmware updates while maintaining simple mechanical interface. | Use Scenario: Operator initiates controlled system restart after maintenance by holding reset button for defined duration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6445UK46L+ provides deterministic, glitch-immune reset timing with 6.72s setup and 210ms timeout. Use Value: Guarantees clean state transition in safety-critical industrial equipment by eliminating race conditions and noise-induced resets. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6446UK46L+ | Same 4.625V threshold and 6.72s setup, but open-drain RESET output | Requires external pullup resistor; suitable when level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is needed | Select MAX6446UK46L+ only if open-drain logic or multi-source reset arbitration is required |
| MAX6445UK44L+ | Identical pinout and timing, but 4.375V reset threshold (vs. 4.625V) | Designed for 4.25V–4.50V supply rails; not interchangeable without verifying VCC margin | Choose MAX6445UK44L+ only when monitoring lower-voltage 4.3V nominal supplies |
Compared with MAX6445UK46L+, MAX6446UK46L+ trades push-pull simplicity for open-drain flexibility, while MAX6445UK44L+ shifts reset sensitivity downward-neither offers drop-in replacement without circuit review.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6445UK46L+?
The MAX6445UK46L+ has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 4.625V, with a guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V over -40°C to +85°C. This value is fixed and non-adjustable, matching the "46" suffix in the part number per Maxim's ordering guide. The threshold exhibits 60ppm/°C tempco and 2×VTH hysteresis to prevent chatter near the trip point.
Does MAX6445UK46L+ support dual manual reset inputs with independent timing?
No. The MAX6445UK46L+ requires both MR1 and MR2 to be held low *simultaneously* for the full 6.72s extended setup period before asserting RESET. It does not support independent or staggered activation of the two inputs-the dual-input architecture is designed specifically for coordinated, tamper-resistant reset initiation, not separate control paths.
Can MAX6445UK46L+ operate with VCC below 1.0V?
No. The MAX6445UK46L+ is guaranteed to function correctly only down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this voltage, RESET output behavior is not specified: VOL rises unpredictably, and internal comparators may cease accurate monitoring. For applications requiring valid reset signaling down to 0V, a pulldown resistor on the push-pull RESET output is recommended-but this applies only when VCC ≥ 1.0V during assertion.
What is the purpose of the 50kΩ internal pullup resistors on MR1 and MR2 of MAX6445UK46L+?
The 50kΩ internal pullup resistors on MR1 and MR2 of MAX6445UK46L+ ensure default high logic states, eliminating the need for external pullups. They allow direct connection of momentary switches from MRx pins to GND, simplifying front-panel design. These resistors also define the input leakage path during switch closure and contribute to the device's immunity to short transients (<100ns) on the manual reset lines.
Is MAX6445UK46L+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6443–MAX6452 family?
Yes-within the same package type. MAX6445UK46L+ uses the 5-pin SOT23 package (U5+1), sharing identical pinout with all other MAX6445/46/47/48 variants in SOT23-5. However, pin compatibility does not imply functional equivalence: MAX6447/48 add immediate-reset MR2 capability, and MAX6449–6452 add RSTIN input-so substitution requires verification of feature alignment and reset threshold.
