Product details
Overview
MAX6455UT23S 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, and 3.36s extended MR setup timeout. It supports soft-system interrupt (MROUT) and hard-system reboot (RESET) in SOT23-6 packaging for embedded power monitoring in consumer electronics and industrial equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6455UT23S datasheet, MAX6455UT23S pinout, MAX6455UT23S application, or MAX6455UT23S equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, confirmed dual-reset timing behavior, validated SOT23-6 terminal mapping, and real-world soft/hard reset implementation guidance - all specific to the MAX6455UT23S variant.
Technical Context
The MAX6455UT23S implements a dual-comparator architecture: one precision bandgap reference comparator monitors VCC against its fixed 2.313V threshold, while a second high-impedance comparator monitors RSTIN against 0.63V, enabling external voltage divider-based threshold adjustment down to 0.63V. Both comparators feed independent reset logic paths.
Its MR input controls both MROUT and RESET outputs: short MR pulses (<3.36s) assert only MROUT for nonmaskable interrupt signaling; sustained MR assertion (≥3.36s) additionally triggers RESET for full system reboot. Reset timeout is guaranteed ≥140ms after recovery, with valid operation down to VCC = 1.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.313V ±1.5% - factory-trimmed precision threshold for primary supply monitoring |
| RSTIN Threshold | 0.630V ±5mV - fixed internal reference enabling adjustable secondary voltage monitoring via resistor divider |
| MR Extended Setup Period | 3.36s typical - minimum MR low duration required to assert RESET output alongside MROUT |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - guaranteed minimum assertion time for both RESET and MROUT after recovery |
| Supply Current | 6µA typical at 3.6V - ultra-low quiescent current enabling battery-backed or always-on supervision |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - ensures valid RESET output state even during deep brownout conditions |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistors on RESET and MROUT |
Pinout & Package
MAX6455UT23S is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6-1), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, fully specified over -40°C to +85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts when VCC < 2.313V or RSTIN < 0.63V, or when MR held low ≥3.36s; deasserts ≥140ms after recovery |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and comparator inputs |
| 3 | MROUT | Active-low push-pull manual reset output; asserts immediately on MR low; remains asserted ≥140ms after MR high |
| 4 | VCC | Main power supply input and primary voltage monitor source; powers internal circuitry and enables reset assertion down to 1.0V |
| 5 | RSTIN | High-impedance adjustable reset input; referenced to 0.63V internal threshold; used with external resistor divider to monitor secondary voltages |
| 6 | MR | Manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC; controls both MROUT (immediate) and RESET (after 3.36s min) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | Separate MROUT (soft-interrupt) and RESET (hard-reboot) signals enable staged system recovery without firmware intervention |
| Extended MR setup timeout | 3.36s MR low duration required to trigger RESET allows single pushbutton to serve both NMI and full reset functions |
| Adjustable secondary voltage monitoring | RSTIN input with 0.63V reference supports monitoring of any voltage ≥0.63V using two high-value resistors, minimizing current draw |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures reliable processor reset initiation even during severe brownout, before most µPs lose functional operation |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤20µs when falling 100mV below threshold, preventing spurious resets in noisy environments |
Applications
| Set-Top Box Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Module Supervision |

Use Value: Factory-trimmed 2.313V threshold matches common 2.5V nominal rail tolerances, eliminating calibration effort in production test. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6455UT23D | Same 2.313V VCC threshold and 3.36s MR setup, but open-drain outputs requiring external pullups | Suitable where level-shifting to higher-voltage logic (e.g., 5V µP reset input) is needed | Select MAX6455UT23D only if interfacing to non-3.3V logic families; otherwise MAX6455UT23S reduces component count |
| MAX6453UT23S | Identical 2.313V VCC threshold and SOT23-6 package, but MR input controls only MROUT - RESET is VCC/RSTIN-only | Appropriate for designs requiring independent manual interrupt without affecting main reset path | Choose MAX6453UT23S when soft-reset and hard-reset must be decoupled; MAX6455UT23S is required for combined pushbutton control. |
Compared with MAX6455UT23D, MAX6455UT23S eliminates external pullup resistors and simplifies layout; compared with MAX6453UT23S, it adds MR-gated RESET functionality essential for unified front-panel reset design - making it the only choice for interrupt-before-reboot architectures.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6455UT23S?
The MAX6455UT23S has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.313V, with ±1.5% tolerance over temperature. This value is permanently laser-trimmed during wafer sort and is not adjustable. The "23" suffix in MAX6455UT23S directly references this 2.313V threshold per Table 1 of the datasheet, and the parameter is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range.
How does the MR input of MAX6455UT23S differ from MAX6453UT23S?
The MR input of MAX6455UT23S controls both MROUT and RESET outputs: brief MR assertion triggers only MROUT, while sustained MR low ≥3.36s also asserts RESET. In contrast, MAX6453UT23S MR affects only MROUT - its RESET output responds exclusively to VCC or RSTIN faults. This makes MAX6455UT23S uniquely suited for single-button interrupt-and-reboot functionality.
Can MAX6455UT23S monitor a 1.2V supply using the RSTIN pin?
Yes. The MAX6455UT23S RSTIN pin has a fixed 0.63V internal threshold. To monitor a 1.2V supply, connect it to RSTIN through a resistor divider where R1/R2 = (1.2V / 0.63V) − 1 ≈ 0.905. For example, use R2 = 250kΩ and R1 = 226kΩ. This configuration maintains high input impedance (>100MΩ) and draws <50nA, preserving system efficiency.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6455UT23S guarantees valid RESET output operation?
The MAX6455UT23S guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Below 1.0V, output sinking capability degrades rapidly. This feature ensures reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions before the microprocessor loses functional integrity, a critical requirement for fail-safe embedded systems.
Is MAX6455UT23S pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6453–MAX6456 family?
Yes, all MAX6453–MAX6456 variants, including MAX6455UT23S, share identical SOT23-6 pinouts and footprint. Pin 1 is RESET, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MROUT, Pin 4 is VCC, Pin 5 is RSTIN, and Pin 6 is MR. This allows direct substitution within the family for different threshold or output-type requirements without PCB redesign.
