Product details
Overview
MAX6450UT23L+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply microprocessor supervisor IC with one fixed-threshold (2.313V) and one adjustable-threshold (0.63V reference) voltage monitor, two extended-setup manual reset inputs (MR1/MR2), open-drain active-low RESET output, and 6.72s minimum manual reset setup period. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and delivers guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V for reliable power-up/brownout detection in set-top boxes and consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6450UT23L+T datasheet, MAX6450UT23L+T pinout, MAX6450UT23L+T application, or MAX6450UT23L+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-monitor architecture (VCC + RSTIN), 6.72s extended MR1/MR2 setup time to prevent nuisance resets, 210ms typical reset timeout, 6µA quiescent current, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6450UT23L+T integrates two independent reset comparators: one monitors VCC against a factory-trimmed 2.313V threshold (±1.5% over temperature), while the second monitors an external voltage via RSTIN using a precision 0.630V ±0.020V internal reference. Both comparators feed into a shared reset timer that asserts RESET low for 140ms minimum after any monitored supply falls below threshold or after MR1 and MR2 are held low simultaneously for ≥6.72s.
Its dual manual reset architecture requires coordinated low assertion of both MR1 and MR2 for the full setup period - unlike immediate-reset variants - and includes 210ms internal debouncing on MR2 transitions to suppress contact bounce during smart-card detect applications. The open-drain RESET output supports level-shifting up to 6V and sinks ≥3.2mA at VCC ≥4.25V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.313V ±1.5% - ensures reliable brownout detection for 2.5V systems with margin |
| RSTIN Reference Voltage | 0.630V ±0.020V - enables precise monitoring of voltages as low as 0.63V via external resistor divider |
| Manual Reset Setup Period | 6.72s - prevents accidental system reset from brief front-panel button presses |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6449UT23L+T | Same 6-pin SOT23 package and dual MR1/MR2 architecture, but fixed VCC threshold is 2.188V instead of 2.313V | Better suited for 2.2V systems; less margin for 2.5V rails | Select when monitoring lower nominal supplies where 2.188V threshold aligns with design voltage tolerances |
| MAX6452UT23L+T | Identical pinout and electrical specs, but adds immediate-reset MR2 functionality (rising-edge triggered) alongside extended MR1 | Supports both secure long-press reset and instant card-detect pulse in same device | Choose when system requires both immediate and extended reset modes without external logic |
Compared with MAX6449UT23L+T, the MAX6450UT23L+T provides higher VCC threshold margin for 2.5V systems; compared with MAX6452UT23L+T, it omits immediate MR2 triggering - simplifying reset logic where only coordinated dual-press security is needed.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6450UT23L+T?
The MAX6450UT23L+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.313V, with ±1.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "23" and applies specifically to the MAX6450UT23L+T variant. The threshold exhibits 60ppm/°C tempco and includes 2×VTH hysteresis for noise immunity.
How does the dual manual reset function work on MAX6450UT23L+T?
The MAX6450UT23L+T requires both MR1 and MR2 pins to be held low simultaneously for the full 6.72s extended setup period before asserting RESET. Unlike variants with immediate MR2, this device treats MR2 identically to MR1 - no rising-edge triggering. The internal timing circuit debounces transitions and enforces strict coordination to prevent accidental resets from single-button presses.
Can MAX6450UT23L+T monitor a 1.2V supply rail?
Yes, the MAX6450UT23L+T can monitor a 1.2V rail using its RSTIN input. With the internal 0.630V reference, a resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 220kΩ, R2 = 250kΩ) sets the trip point to 1.2V per the formula VMON-TH = 0.63 × (R1 + R2)/R2. The high-impedance RSTIN input draws only ±25nA, minimizing divider current and preserving accuracy.
What is the minimum required pullup resistor for the open-drain RESET output of MAX6450UT23L+T?
The datasheet specifies a minimum 20kΩ pullup resistor to VCC for the open-drain RESET output of MAX6450UT23L+T. This value ensures proper VOL ≤ 0.4V when sinking 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.25V. For level-shifting to higher rails (e.g., 5V), use a pullup to that rail - but note RESET sink capability degrades as VCC falls below 1.0V.
Is MAX6450UT23L+T qualified for automotive applications?
No, the MAX6450UT23L+T is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Only the MAX6444US16K/V+T variant in the family carries automotive qualification. The MAX6450UT23L+T is specified for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and intended for consumer and industrial equipment, not automotive ECUs or infotainment systems requiring AEC certification.
