Product details
Overview
MAX6450UT29L from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply microprocessor supervisor IC with one fixed-threshold (2.925V) and one adjustable-threshold (0.63V reference) voltage monitor, two extended-setup manual reset inputs (MR1/MR2), active-low open-drain RESET output, 6.72s minimum manual reset pulse width, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V. It targets power sequencing and reliable system reset in consumer set-top boxes and DVD players.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6450UT29L datasheet, MAX6450UT29L pinout, MAX6450UT29L application, or MAX6450UT29L equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-monitor architecture, 6.72s extended manual reset setup period, 2.925V fixed VCC threshold, RSTIN-adjustable monitoring capability, and SOT23-6 open-drain output compatibility with mixed-voltage logic interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX6450UT29L integrates two independent reset comparators: one monitors VCC against a factory-trimmed 2.925V threshold (±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C), while the second monitors an external voltage via RSTIN using a precision 0.630V internal reference (±0.015V). Both comparators drive a shared open-drain RESET output with 140ms minimum timeout.
Its dual manual reset architecture requires MR1 and MR2 to be held low simultaneously for ≥6.72s to trigger a one-shot reset pulse; this long setup period eliminates nuisance resets from front-panel switches. The device operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and draws only 6µA typical current at 3.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.925V ±1.5% - precisely monitors 3.3V rail brownout without external components |
| RSTIN Reference Voltage | 0.630V ±0.015V - enables accurate adjustment of monitored voltage thresholds down to 0.63V |
| Manual Reset Setup Period | 6.72s (L-suffix) - prevents accidental reset from brief button presses in consumer UIs |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms min - ensures sufficient processor hold time for reliable cold boot or recovery |
| Supply Current | 6µA typ at 3.6V - supports always-on monitoring in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain - allows level-shifting to 0–6V logic domains and wired-OR configuration |
Pinout & Package
MAX6450UT29L is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (U6-1 outline, 90-0175 land pattern), optimized for space-constrained consumer electronics PCBs. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin description table and functional diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output stage |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor source (2.925V threshold) |
| 3 | MR1 | Active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup; must be held low ≥6.72s with MR2 |
| 4 | MR2 | Active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup; dual-input mode requires simultaneous low assertion with MR1 |
| 5 | RSTIN | High-impedance adjustable-threshold input; connects to resistor divider for custom voltage monitoring |
| 6 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output; requires external pullup resistor (≥20kΩ to VCC or other logic rail) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises main VCC (2.925V) and auxiliary rail (via RSTIN) with separate comparators |
| Extended manual reset immunity | 6.72s setup period eliminates false triggers from mechanical switch bounce or user interface noise |
| Adjustable threshold down to 0.63V | Enables precise monitoring of low-voltage rails (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V cores) using high-value external resistors |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 1.0V VCC | Ensures deterministic behavior during deep power collapse where most supervisors fail |
| Low 6µA quiescent current | Minimizes standby power impact in always-on consumer devices like cable modems and media players |
Applications
| Set-Top Box Power Sequencing | DVD Player Brownout Recovery |
|---|---|
|

Use Scenario: Uses MR1 for user-initiated hard reset and RSTIN to monitor battery voltage for low-power shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Adjustable RSTIN threshold (e.g., 2.8V) detects end-of-life battery; MR1 provides 6.72s intentional reset path. Use Value: Extends usable battery life by preventing data corruption during gradual discharge. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6449UT29L | Same pinout, same 2.925V VCC threshold and 0.63V RSTIN reference, but push-pull RESET output instead of open-drain | Requires no external pullup; unsuitable for wired-OR or level-shifted reset buses | Select MAX6449UT29L only if system uses single-supervisor reset tree with no shared RESET line |
| MAX6452UT29L | Same package and thresholds, but adds immediate-response MR2 (rising-edge triggered) alongside extended MR1 | Supports dual-mode reset: long-press for full system reset, short press for interrupt-only signaling | Choose MAX6452UT29L when front-panel UX requires both interrupt-before-reset and hard reset functionality |
Compared with MAX6449UT29L, MAX6450UT29L offers open-drain flexibility for multi-drop reset networks; compared with MAX6452UT29L, it omits immediate MR2 response-simplifying design where only extended reset is needed.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6450UT29L?
The MAX6450UT29L has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.925V, with ±1.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet, where the "29" suffix maps to 2.925V nominal threshold. The MAX6450UT29L uses this fixed threshold to monitor the primary supply rail independently of the adjustable RSTIN input.
Does MAX6450UT29L support monitoring a 1.8V rail?
Yes, the MAX6450UT29L supports monitoring a 1.8V rail via its RSTIN pin using an external resistor divider. With a precise 0.630V internal reference, the required resistor ratio is R1/R2 = (1.8V / 0.630V) − 1 ≈ 1.86. Selecting R2 = 250kΩ yields R1 ≈ 465kΩ, enabling accurate 1.8V threshold detection. This capability is explicitly documented in the Adjustable Input Voltage section of the MAX6450UT29L datasheet.
What is the function of the MR2 pin on MAX6450UT29L?
On the MAX6450UT29L, the MR2 pin is an active-low manual reset input that operates identically to MR1: it requires simultaneous assertion with MR1 for ≥6.72s to trigger the RESET pulse. Unlike MAX6452UT29L, MAX6450UT29L does not implement immediate-response MR2 functionality. This dual-extended setup prevents accidental resets and is validated in the Pin Description table and Manual Reset Input Options section of the MAX6450UT29L datasheet.
Can MAX6450UT29L operate with VCC below 1.0V?
No, the MAX6450UT29L is specified to operate from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V. Below 1.0V, the internal circuitry cannot guarantee valid RESET output state or comparator accuracy. The datasheet explicitly states "Guaranteed Valid Reset Down to VCC = 1.0V" and defines absolute minimum VCC as -0.3V (stress rating only). For sub-1V operation, alternative supervisors with different architectures must be considered.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6450UT29L use?
The MAX6450UT29L uses a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6-1, outline 21-0058, land pattern 90-0175), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm. This compact footprint is confirmed in the Ordering Information and Package Information sections of the datasheet, and matches the pin configuration diagram for MAX6449–MAX6452 variants. Lead-free versions are designated with "+T" suffix.
