Product details
Overview
MAX6452UT46L+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 6-pin SOT23 package. It ensures reliable system reset during power-up, brownout, and intentional front-panel reset in consumer and industrial electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6452UT46L+T datasheet, MAX6452UT46L+T pinout, MAX6452UT46L+T application, or MAX6452UT46L+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-monitor architecture (VCC + RSTIN), precise 4.625V fixed threshold with ±0.125V tolerance, 6.72s MR1 setup timeout, 140ms min reset pulse width, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V.
Technical Context
The MAX6452UT46L+T integrates two independent reset comparators: one monitors VCC against a factory-trimmed 4.625V threshold (±0.125V), while the second monitors an external voltage via RSTIN using a precision 0.630V internal reference (±0.015V over -40°C to +85°C). Its MR1 input requires a 6.72s low assertion before generating a one-shot RESET pulse, and MR2 provides immediate reset on rising edge - enabling interrupt-before-reset and smart-card-detect functionality.
This device uses BiCMOS process technology, delivers 6µA typical supply current at 3.6V, guarantees valid RESET output logic down to VCC = 1.0V, and features internal 50kΩ pullups on both MR1 and MR2. The 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).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±0.125V tolerance) - ensures reset assertion when main supply drops below nominal 4.6V rail |
| RSTIN Reference Voltage | 0.630V (±0.015V over full temp range) - enables accurate monitoring of voltages as low as 0.63V via external resistor divider |
| MR1 Setup Period | 6.72s (L-suffix) - prevents nuisance resets from brief button presses; requires sustained low for >6.7s to trigger reset |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - guarantees sufficient processor reset hold time per JEDEC JESD8-12E |
| Supply Current | 6µA typical at 3.6V - enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power always-on monitoring |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup; drives directly into µP reset pin |
Pinout & Package
MAX6452UT46L+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1, outline 21-0058), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 1 is MR1 (active-low manual reset with 50kΩ internal pullup), Pin 2 is VCC (supply and primary monitor input), Pin 3 is RESET (push-pull active-low output), Pin 4 is GND, Pin 5 is MR2 (immediate-reset active-high input), and Pin 6 is RSTIN (high-impedance adjustable-threshold input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR1 | Extended manual reset input | Active-low; internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC; must be held low ≥6.72s to initiate one-shot reset pulse |
| 2 - VCC | Main supply input & monitor source | Power supply pin and input to fixed 4.625V reset comparator; operates from 1.0V to 5.5V |
| 3 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; asserts low for ≥140ms after VCC/RSTIN fault or MR1/MR2 trigger; valid down to VCC = 1.0V |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits and external biasing networks |
| 5 - MR2 | Immediate manual reset input | Active-high; rising edge triggers immediate one-shot reset; debounced for 210ms on falling edge to prevent false triggers |
| 6 - RSTIN | Adjustable voltage monitor input | High-impedance (≤25nA leakage) input referenced to 0.630V; used with external resistor divider to set custom reset threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises primary VCC (4.625V) and secondary rail (via RSTIN + external divider) - enables multi-rail system integrity checks |
| Extended + immediate manual reset inputs | MR1 (6.72s setup) prevents accidental resets; MR2 rising-edge trigger enables instant system test or card-detect response without delay |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures deterministic µP reset state even during severe brownout - no undefined logic states at low supply |
| Low 6µA quiescent current | Enables permanent connection to battery-backed rails without significant drain - suitable for always-on monitoring |
| Immunity to short transients | Rejects <20µs VCC glitches dropping 100mV below threshold - avoids spurious resets in noisy environments |

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6452UT46L+T?
The MAX6452UT46L+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 4.625V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±0.125V (4.50V to 4.75V) over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold" for suffix "46", and applies specifically to the MAX6452UT46L+T - not to other variants in the MAX6443–MAX6452 family.
Does MAX6452UT46L+T support monitoring a secondary voltage lower than 1.0V?
Yes, the MAX6452UT46L+T supports monitoring voltages as low as 0.63V via its RSTIN pin, which connects to an internal precision 0.630V reference comparator. By using an external resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 375kΩ, R2 = 250kΩ), users can configure the monitored threshold to 1.50V; for sub-1.0V rails, R2 ≥ 250kΩ maintains leakage current <25nA. This capability is exclusive to MAX6449–MAX6452 variants and is documented in the Adjustable Input Voltage section of the MAX6452UT46L+T datasheet.
What is the function of MR2 on MAX6452UT46L+T, and how does it differ from MR1?
On the MAX6452UT46L+T, MR2 is an active-high immediate-reset input: a rising edge triggers a one-shot RESET pulse with 140ms minimum duration, and is debounced for 210ms on the falling edge to suppress contact bounce. In contrast, MR1 is active-low with a 6.72s extended setup period (L-suffix) - it must be held low continuously for ≥6.72s to assert RESET. This dual-input architecture enables distinct use cases: MR1 for deliberate hard reset, MR2 for fast-response events like smart-card insertion detection.
Is MAX6452UT46L+T compatible with 1.8V logic systems?
Yes, the MAX6452UT46L+T is fully compatible with 1.8V logic systems. Its MR1 and MR2 inputs accept logic levels defined as VIL ≤ 0.3×VCC and VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC, so at VCC = 1.8V, they recognize <0.54V as low and >1.26V as high. The RESET output is push-pull with VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 200µA, ensuring clean 1.44V high-level drive into 1.8V µP reset pins. All electrical characteristics are specified down to VCC = 1.0V.
What package type and pin count does MAX6452UT46L+T use?
The MAX6452UT46L+T uses a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1, outline 21-0058), with standard 0.95mm lead pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm body size, and exposed thermal pad. Pinout is: Pin 1 = MR1, Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = RESET, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = MR2, Pin 6 = RSTIN. This matches the functional diagram and pin configuration diagrams on page 10 of the official MAX6443–MAX6452 datasheet.
