Product details
Overview
MAX6448UK23L+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-supply, fixed-threshold microprocessor supervisor IC with one extended-setup manual reset input (MR1) and one immediate-assertion manual reset input (MR2), 2.313V VCC reset threshold, 6.72s MR1 setup period, 140ms min reset timeout, and open-drain active-low RESET output in 5-pin SOT23 package. It ensures reliable system initialization in consumer electronics requiring immunity to switch bounce and transient-induced false resets.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6448UK23L+T datasheet, MAX6448UK23L+T pinout, MAX6448UK23L+T application, or MAX6448UK23L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode manual reset architecture (extended + immediate), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V, 6µA supply current, -40°C to +85°C operation, and compatibility with 3.3V/5V logic systems via open-drain RESET with external pullup.
Technical Context
The MAX6448UK23L+T implements a precision voltage monitor for VCC only (no RSTIN), with factory-trimmed 2.313V reset threshold and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its MR1 input requires ≥6.72s low assertion before generating a 140ms–280ms one-shot RESET pulse, while MR2 triggers immediate RESET on rising edge with 210ms debounce on deassertion.
RESET output is open-drain, specified to sink 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.25V with VOL ≤ 0.4V, and features guaranteed valid logic state for VCC ≥ 1.0V. Internal 50kΩ pullups on MR1 and MR2 eliminate need for external resistors, and the device draws only 6µA typical ICC at 3.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.313V ±0.075V - precisely monitors 2.5V or 3.3V rail brownout without external components |
| MR1 Setup Period | 6.72s typ - prevents nuisance resets from front-panel button presses shorter than this duration |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms min / 210ms typ - ensures µP reset pulse meets minimum assertion time for reliable boot |
| Supply Current | 6µA typ at 3.6V - enables always-on supervision in battery-powered devices with negligible drain |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and extended commercial environments without derating |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain - allows level-shifting to different logic supplies (e.g., 1.8V µP reset input with 3.3V pullup) |
| VCC Validity Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees correct RESET logic state even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23 (U5+1), 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant lead(Pb)-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 VCC | Power supply input | Primary monitored supply rail; powers internal comparators and logic; valid from 1.0V to 5.5V |
| 3 MR1 | Extended manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 50kΩ pullup; requires ≥6.72s low assertion to trigger one-shot RESET |
| 4 MR2 | Immediate manual reset input | Active-high input with internal 50kΩ pullup; rising edge triggers immediate RESET pulse; debounced 210ms on release |
| 5 RESET | Open-drain reset output | Active-low signal; requires external pullup resistor (≥20kΩ) to VCC or another logic supply |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode manual reset | MR1 (6.72s extended setup) + MR2 (immediate rising-edge trigger) enables both secure system reset and fast diagnostic reset |
| Immunity to short transients | Rejects VCC glitches ≤20µs when falling 100mV below threshold - eliminates false resets from EMI or switching noise |
| Guaranteed reset at low VCC | Valid RESET logic state maintained down to VCC = 1.0V - ensures deterministic behavior during power collapse |
| Low-power supervision | 6µA typical ICC at 3.6V - extends battery life in portable equipment without compromising supervision integrity |
| No external components required | Factory-set 2.313V threshold and internal MR pullups eliminate trimming resistors and pullup networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6447UK23L+T | Same 5-pin SOT23 package, identical 2.313V threshold and 6.72s MR1 setup, but push-pull RESET output instead of open-drain | Requires VCC-referenced RESET load; unsuitable for level-shifting to lower-voltage µP inputs | Select MAX6447UK23L+T only when driving 3.3V/5V µP reset pins directly without voltage translation |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 2.5V threshold, 200ms reset timeout, 3-pin SOT23, no manual reset inputs - single-function voltage monitor only | Lacks MR1/MR2 dual-mode reset capability; cannot replace front-panel or smart-card event triggering | Choose TPS3808G18DBVR only for basic power-on reset where manual intervention is handled externally |
Compared with MAX6447UK23L+T, MAX6448UK23L+T offers open-drain flexibility for mixed-voltage systems; compared with TPS3808G18DBVR, it adds critical dual-mode reset control essential for user-interactive and safety-critical embedded designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6448UK23L+T?
The MAX6448UK23L+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.313V, with ±0.075V tolerance over temperature. This value is encoded in the "23" suffix per Table 1 of the datasheet and is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range without external calibration.
How does the MR2 input function on the MAX6448UK23L+T?
On the MAX6448UK23L+T, MR2 is an active-high immediate-reset input: a rising edge triggers a 140ms–280ms one-shot RESET pulse, and the input is internally debounced for 210ms on release to prevent false assertions during contact bounce. It is not a latched input and requires clean edge transitions.
Can the MAX6448UK23L+T monitor a voltage other than VCC?
No. The MAX6448UK23L+T monitors only the VCC supply rail. It does not include the RSTIN pin found on MAX6449–MAX6452 variants; therefore, it cannot supervise auxiliary voltages like 1.2V core or 1.8V I/O rails using an external resistor divider.
What is the minimum VCC required for valid RESET output operation of the MAX6448UK23L+T?
The MAX6448UK23L+T guarantees correct RESET logic state (high-impedance when deasserted, low when asserted) for VCC ≥ 1.0V. Below 1.0V, RESET behavior is not specified, and external pulldown resistors are ineffective since this device uses open-drain output.
Is the MAX6448UK23L+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6443–MAX6452 family?
The MAX6448UK23L+T uses the 5-pin SOT23 package (U5+1) and shares identical pinout with MAX6445–MAX6448 variants. However, it is not pin-compatible with 4-pin SOT143 (MAX6443/MAX6444) or 6-pin SOT23 (MAX6449–MAX6452) versions due to differing pin counts and RSTIN presence.
