Product details
Overview
MAX6453UT23S+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, low-power µP supervisor IC with separate VCC reset and manual reset outputs, factory-set 2.313V VCC reset threshold, 0.63V adjustable RSTIN input, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and push-pull active-low RESET/MROUT outputs in SOT23-6 package - used for soft-interrupt (MROUT) and hard-reboot (RESET) sequencing in embedded power management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6453UT23S+ datasheet, MAX6453UT23S+ pinout, MAX6453UT23S+ application, or MAX6453UT23S+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in consumer and industrial systems, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and timing differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6453UT23S+ implements independent monitoring paths: a precision 2.313V ±1.5% VCC reset comparator and a high-impedance 0.63V RSTIN input for external voltage divider-based threshold setting. Its MR input controls only MROUT - not RESET - enabling nonmaskable interrupt generation without triggering full system reboot.
It features guaranteed valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, 6µA typical supply current at 3.6V, and immunity to transients ≤20µs when VCC drops 100mV below threshold. The 140ms min reset timeout is temperature-stable (±3% over -40°C to +85°C), and both outputs are active-low push-pull with VOL ≤0.3V at ISINK = 1.2mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.313V ±1.5% - factory-trimmed for reliable detection of 2.5V rail brownout |
| RSTIN Threshold | 0.630V ±1.6% - enables monitoring of secondary rails as low as 0.63V via external resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms min - ensures microprocessor reset pulse meets ARM/Intel minimum hold time requirements |
| Supply Current | 6µA typ at 3.6V - supports battery-backed systems with multi-year standby life |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees functional reset output even during deep brownout conditions |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull RESET and MROUT - eliminates need for external pullups, simplifies PCB layout |
| MR Input Pullup | 50kΩ internal to VCC - allows direct connection of momentary switch to GND without external components |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package (U6-1 land pattern, 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm height), RoHS-compliant lead(Pb)-free construction marked "ABOH".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; asserts low on VCC/RSTIN undervoltage or MR long-press (not applicable to MAX6453) |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - MROUT | Active-low push-pull manual reset output | Asserts immediately on MR low; remains low 140ms after MR release - used for NMI or data-save interrupt |
| 4 - VCC | Main power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry and sets reference for VCC monitor; operates down to 1.0V with valid RESET |
| 5 - RSTIN | Adjustable reset input | High-Z (±25nA) comparator input referenced to 0.63V - connects to center tap of external resistor divider |
| 6 - MR | Manual reset input | Internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC; falling edge triggers MROUT only - no effect on RESET output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | Separate RESET (system reboot) and MROUT (NMI/interrupt) enable staged recovery without firmware dependency |
| Factory-set 2.313V VCC threshold | Eliminates external resistor network for 2.5V rail monitoring - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| 0.63V RSTIN reference | Supports precise monitoring of sub-1V core supplies (e.g., 1.2V, 1.0V, 0.9V) using high-value resistors (<1µA divider current) |
| 140ms min reset timeout | Guarantees compliance with processor reset timing specs across full temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) |
| 6µA supply current | Enables integration into always-on subsystems (e.g., RTC, wake-on-LAN) without compromising battery life |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6455UT23S+ | Same 2.313V VCC threshold and SOT23-6 package, but MR controls both MROUT and RESET; includes 3.36s extended setup period for soft/hard reset combination | Supports single-button interrupt-then-reboot workflow; requires firmware to distinguish short vs. long press | Select MAX6455UT23S+ only if system design requires MR-triggered hard reset - MAX6453UT23S+ provides isolated MROUT for pure interrupt use |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 2.5V fixed VCC threshold (not 2.313V), open-drain outputs, 200ms timeout, 1.4µA quiescent current - no adjustable RSTIN input | Lacks secondary rail monitoring capability; requires external pullups; lower power but less flexible voltage coverage | Choose TPS3808G125DBVR for ultra-low-power 2.5V-only applications where RSTIN functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6455UT23S+, the MAX6453UT23S+ offers strict separation of interrupt (MROUT) and reboot (RESET) paths - critical for safety-critical systems requiring deterministic NMI handling without unintended resets. Against TPS3808G125DBVR, it trades lower quiescent current for essential dual-threshold monitoring and push-pull drive.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6453UT23S+?
The MAX6453UT23S+ has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.313V with ±1.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet and corresponds to the "23" suffix in the part number. The threshold is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external calibration.
Does MAX6453UT23S+ support monitoring a secondary voltage below 1V?
Yes, the MAX6453UT23S+ supports monitoring secondary voltages down to 0.63V using the RSTIN pin. By connecting an external resistor divider between the monitored rail and GND, with RSTIN at the center tap, the device triggers reset when the divided voltage falls below its internal 0.63V comparator threshold - enabling precise supervision of 1.2V, 1.0V, or 0.9V rails.
How does the manual reset input (MR) affect the RESET output in MAX6453UT23S+?
In the MAX6453UT23S+, the MR input affects only the MROUT output - it has no effect on the RESET output. When MR is pulled low, MROUT asserts immediately and remains low for 140ms after MR is released. RESET is controlled solely by VCC and RSTIN voltage levels, ensuring clean separation between interrupt and system reboot functions.
What is the supply current consumption of MAX6453UT23S+ at 3.3V?
The MAX6453UT23S+ draws 6µA typical supply current at VCC = 3.3V and TA = +25°C, with a maximum of 16µA over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This ultra-low quiescent current enables integration into battery-powered devices where multi-year shelf life is required, such as remote sensors or medical wearables.
Is MAX6453UT23S+ compatible with 1.8V microcontrollers?
Yes, the MAX6453UT23S+ is fully operational down to VCC = 1.0V and guarantees valid RESET output logic states at that level. Its push-pull outputs drive low to ≤0.3V at ISINK = 1.2mA, ensuring solid logic-low assertion for 1.8V µCs with VIH thresholds as low as 1.26V (70% of VCC). No level-shifting circuitry is needed.
