Product details
Overview
The MAX6456UT26S+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, dual-voltage µP supervisor IC with separate active-low open-drain VCC reset and manual reset outputs, factory-set 2.625V VCC reset threshold, adjustable RSTIN input (0.63V reference), and 1.68s extended MR setup timeout for soft/hard reset combination control. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V, draws only 6µA typical supply current, and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1.0V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6456UT26S+T datasheet, MAX6456UT26S+T pinout, MAX6456UT26S+T application, or MAX6456UT26S+T equivalent, this device supports interrupt-before-reset functionality in embedded systems requiring both NMI-triggered data save and full reboot - critical for set-top boxes, medical devices, and industrial equipment where deterministic power sequencing and fault recovery are essential.
Technical Context
The MAX6456UT26S+T implements a dual-comparator architecture: one precision bandgap-based comparator monitors VCC against its fixed 2.625V threshold (±1.5% over temperature), while a second high-impedance comparator monitors RSTIN against a stable 0.63V internal reference, enabling external voltage monitoring via resistor divider. Its MR input controls both MROUT and RESET outputs with a programmable extended setup period (1.68s typ), distinguishing it from MAX6454/MAX6453 variants.
This variant uses open-drain outputs for both RESET and MROUT, requiring external pullup resistors, and features guaranteed reset assertion for VCC ≥ 1.0V, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and immunity to transients ≤ 20µs when VCC dips 100mV below threshold - all specified across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.625V ±1.5% - precisely monitors 2.6V–2.7V primary supply rails without external calibration |
| RSTIN Reference Voltage | 0.630V ±1.6% - enables accurate monitoring of secondary supplies as low as 0.63V using external resistor divider |
| MR Extended Setup Period | 1.68s (typ) - allows single pushbutton to trigger interrupt (short press) or hard reset (long press ≥1.68s) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - ensures microprocessor reset pulse meets minimum duration requirements for reliable initialization |
| VCC Supply Current | 6µA (typ at 3.6V) - minimizes quiescent power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and consumer equipment deployed in uncontrolled environments |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - supports level-shifting to logic supplies up to 6V and wired-OR configurations |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23-6, surface-mount, lead(Pb)-free (RoHS-compliant), 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserts low on VCC/RSTIN undervoltage or MR long-press; requires external pullup |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for all internal circuitry and external bias networks |
| 3 | MROUT | Active-low open-drain manual reset output - asserts immediately on MR low; remains low 140ms after MR release |
| 4 | VCC | Main power supply input - powers internal circuitry and sets operating voltage range (1.0V–5.5V) |
| 5 | RSTIN | Adjustable reset input - high-impedance node referenced to 0.63V; connects to center tap of external resistor divider |
| 6 | MR | Manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC (50kΩ); low assertion triggers MROUT, and sustained low (≥1.68s) also asserts RESET |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset paths | Separate VCC and RSTIN comparators enable simultaneous monitoring of primary and secondary system rails |
| Interrupt-before-reset capability | Single MR input delivers immediate MROUT assertion (NMI) on short press and full RESET assertion only after 1.68s hold |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 6µA typical at 3.6V ensures minimal battery drain in always-on or backup-supply applications |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures reliable processor reset initiation even during deep brownout conditions before complete power collapse |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤20µs duration when undershoot is ≤100mV - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6455UT26S+T | Same 2.625V VCC threshold and 1.68s MR setup, but push-pull RESET/MROUT outputs | Requires no external pullups; unsuitable for level-shifting or wired-OR bus topologies | Select when driving CMOS inputs directly and minimizing external components is prioritized over flexibility |
| MAX6456UT29S+T | Identical package, pinout, and MR timing, but 2.925V VCC reset threshold | Monitors higher primary rail (e.g., 3.0V LDO) instead of 2.6V; not interchangeable without circuit validation | Select only when system VCC nominal is ~3.0V and 2.625V threshold is insufficient for required margin |
Compared with MAX6456UT26S+T, the MAX6455UT26S+T eliminates pullup resistors but sacrifices level-shifting capability, while the MAX6456UT29S+T shifts reset sensitivity upward by 300mV - neither is pin-compatible drop-in replacements without verifying voltage margins and output loading requirements.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6456UT26S+T?
The MAX6456UT26S+T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.625V, with ±1.5% tolerance over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is laser-trimmed during production and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold" with part suffix "26" corresponding to 2.625V per Table 1 in the datasheet.
Does MAX6456UT26S+T support reset assertion when VCC falls below 1.0V?
No - the MAX6456UT26S+T guarantees valid reset output only down to VCC = 1.0V. Below that voltage, RESET output behavior is not specified, and current-sinking capability degrades rapidly. For applications requiring reset assertion at VCC < 1.0V, an external pulldown resistor cannot be used with the open-drain outputs of MAX6456UT26S+T.
How does the MR input of MAX6456UT26S+T differ from MAX6454UT26S+T?
Unlike MAX6454UT26S+T (which uses MR to control only MROUT), the MR input of MAX6456UT26S+T controls both MROUT and RESET outputs. A short MR low pulse asserts only MROUT; holding MR low for ≥1.68s (extended setup period) additionally asserts RESET - enabling true interrupt-before-reset functionality unique to MAX6455/MAX6456 variants.
What is the purpose of the RSTIN pin on MAX6456UT26S+T?
The RSTIN pin on MAX6456UT26S+T is a high-impedance input referenced to an internal 0.63V comparator threshold. It allows monitoring of a secondary voltage rail (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V) via an external resistor divider. The monitored voltage VMON_TH is calculated as 0.63V × (R1 + R2)/R2, enabling flexible, low-power supervision of non-primary supplies.
Can MAX6456UT26S+T be used with a 5V microprocessor reset input?
Yes - the open-drain RESET output of MAX6456UT26S+T can interface to 5V logic when paired with a pullup resistor to the 5V supply. The output is rated for up to 6V, and leakage current remains ≤1µA when deasserted. Ensure the pullup value (e.g., 10kΩ) provides sufficient drive strength while respecting the 3.2mA sink capability at VCC ≥ 4.25V.
