Product details
Overview
MAX6451UT46L+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply microprocessor supervisor IC with one fixed-threshold (4.625V) and one adjustable-threshold (0.63V reference) voltage monitor, extended manual reset setup period (6.72s), push-pull active-low RESET output, and operation over –40°C to +85°C. It prevents nuisance resets in set-top boxes and industrial equipment by rejecting short switch closures and transient glitches.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6451UT46L+T datasheet, MAX6451UT46L+T pinout, MAX6451UT46L+T application, or MAX6451UT46L+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual manual reset architecture (MR1 extended + MR2 immediate), guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.0V, 6µA supply current, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with high-reliability embedded power sequencing.
Technical Context
The MAX6451UT46L+T integrates two independent reset comparators: one monitors VCC against a factory-set 4.625V threshold (±130mV tolerance), while the second monitors an external voltage via RSTIN using a precision 0.630V internal reference with 2.5mV hysteresis. Its dual manual reset inputs implement distinct timing behaviors - MR1 requires a 6.72s low assertion for reset generation, whereas MR2 triggers an immediate one-shot RESET pulse on rising edge.
This architecture enables coordinated system-level control: MR1 serves as a deliberate hard-reset input (e.g., front-panel service button), while MR2 supports event-driven actions like smart-card insertion detection. The device guarantees valid push-pull RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V and maintains immunity to transients ≤20µs when VCC drops 100mV below threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±130mV max deviation); ensures reliable brownout detection for 4.5–5.0V logic rails. |
| RSTIN Reference Voltage | 0.630V (±20mV, –40°C to +85°C); enables precise monitoring of sub-1V supplies via external resistor divider. |
| MR1 Setup Period | 6.72s (L-suffix); eliminates false resets from accidental or brief front-panel switch actuation. |
| RESET Timeout Period | 140ms minimum; provides sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization sequences. |
| Supply Current | 6µA at 3.6V; enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power always-on supervision without significant drain. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and automotive cabin environments without derating. |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; ensures functional RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6451UT46L+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (U6+1 outline, 90-0175 land pattern), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output driver; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 2 | VCC | Main power supply input (1.0V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and serves as primary monitored voltage source. |
| 3 | MR1 | Active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup; requires ≥6.72s low assertion to trigger one-shot RESET pulse. |
| 4 | MR2 | Active-high manual reset input; rising edge immediately initiates 140ms RESET pulse; debounced for 210ms on falling edge. |
| 5 | RSTIN | High-impedance adjustable-threshold input; connects to external resistor divider to monitor secondary supply (e.g., core voltage). |
| 6 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output; drives microprocessor reset pin directly without external pullup; sinks 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.55V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual manual reset architecture | MR1 (6.72s extended setup) + MR2 (immediate edge-triggered) enables both deliberate system reset and responsive event signaling (e.g., card detect). |
| Adjustable secondary voltage monitor | RSTIN input with 0.630V reference allows precise supervision of any supply ≥0.63V using only two external resistors, minimizing BOM count. |
| Nuisance-reset immunity | Guaranteed rejection of MR1 transitions <6.72s and VCC transients ≤20µs (at 100mV overdrive), eliminating false resets in noisy environments. |
| Low-voltage reset assurance | Valid RESET output guaranteed down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring deterministic processor behavior during deep brownout recovery. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 6µA typical supply current at 3.6V enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in maintenance-free applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6452UT46L+T | Same VCC threshold (4.625V) and MR1 setup (6.72s), but open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull. | Requires external pullup resistor; suited for level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus configurations. | Select MAX6452UT46L+T only when interfacing to mixed-voltage systems or sharing RESET line with other open-drain sources. |
| MAX6448UK46L+T | Single-supply supervisor (VCC only), 4.625V threshold, 5-pin SOT23, no RSTIN or MR2; MR1-only with same 6.72s setup. | Lacks adjustable secondary monitoring and immediate-reset capability; simpler BOM for single-rail applications. | Choose MAX6448UK46L+T when supervising only main supply and no secondary voltage or event-triggered reset is needed. |
Compared with MAX6451UT46L+T, MAX6452UT46L+T trades push-pull drive strength for interface flexibility, while MAX6448UK46L+T reduces feature set and pin count for cost-sensitive single-monitor use cases-neither is pin-compatible, requiring PCB layout changes.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6451UT46L+T?
The MAX6451UT46L+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 4.625V, with a maximum deviation of ±130mV over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "46", and applies specifically to the MAX6451UT46L+T-not to other variants in the MAX6443–MAX6452 family.
Does MAX6451UT46L+T support monitoring a secondary voltage lower than 1.0V?
Yes, MAX6451UT46L+T supports monitoring voltages as low as 0.63V via its RSTIN pin, using an internal precision 0.630V reference. By connecting RSTIN to a resistor divider from the target supply, users can set custom thresholds down to 0.63V; the datasheet provides explicit formulas and examples for calculating R1/R2 values.
How does the MR2 input on MAX6451UT46L+T differ from MR1?
MR1 on MAX6451UT46L+T is an active-low input requiring a sustained 6.72s low assertion to trigger RESET, while MR2 is an active-high input that asserts RESET on a rising edge-enabling immediate response to events like smart-card insertion. MR2 also features 210ms debouncing on the falling edge to prevent false deassertion during removal.
Is MAX6451UT46L+T compatible with 1.8V logic systems?
Yes, MAX6451UT46L+T operates with VCC as low as 1.0V and guarantees valid RESET output down to that level. Its MR1/MR2 input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC), making it fully compatible with 1.8V systems when powered from a 1.8V supply, provided the monitored VCC rail matches the intended reset threshold.
