Product details
Overview
The MAX6456UT31S+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with separate active-low open-drain VCC reset and manual reset outputs. It monitors primary supply (VCC) at 3.075V threshold and secondary supply via adjustable RSTIN input down to 0.63V, supports soft/hard system reset combination via extended MR setup period (3.36s typ), and operates across -40°C to +85°C in SOT23-6 package for embedded power sequencing in consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6456UT31S+T datasheet, MAX6456UT31S+T pinout, MAX6456UT31S+T application, or MAX6456UT31S+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional behavior, exact reset timing values, confirmed dual-output control logic, and real-world implementation constraints for reliable system-level reset design.
Technical Context
The MAX6456UT31S+T implements a dual-comparator architecture: one factory-set precision comparator for VCC monitoring at 3.075V ±1.5% and a high-impedance adjustable comparator on RSTIN referenced to 0.630V ±15mV. Its MR input controls both MROUT and RESET outputs - short MR assertion (<3.36s) triggers only MROUT (soft interrupt), while sustained MR assertion (≥3.36s) asserts both outputs for full system reboot.
This device uses BiCMOS process technology, guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1.0V, and features 140ms minimum reset timeout with <6µA typical supply current at 3.6V. The open-drain outputs require external pullups and support level-shifting up to 6V, enabling interoperability with mixed-voltage microprocessor reset inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 3.075V ±1.5% - precisely sets brownout detection point for 3.3V systems without external components |
| RSTIN Threshold | 0.630V ±15mV - enables monitoring of secondary supplies (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V cores) via external resistor divider |
| MR Setup Period | 3.36s typical - defines minimum MR low pulse duration required to assert both MROUT and RESET outputs |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - ensures sufficient processor hold time after voltage recovery before deassertion |
| Supply Current | 6µA typical at 3.6V - minimizes quiescent power impact in battery-backed or always-on subsystems |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and consumer equipment operating environments |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET and MROUT - allows flexible pullup voltage selection and wired-OR connectivity |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23-6, surface-mount, lead(Pb)-free (indicated by "+T" suffix), 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, thermal pad not included.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserts when VCC or RSTIN falls below threshold or MR held ≥3.36s; 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 asserted 140ms after MR release |
| 4 | VCC | Main power supply input - powers internal circuitry and sets reference for VCC monitor; operates from 1.0V to 5.5V |
| 5 | RSTIN | Adjustable reset input - high-impedance node (±25nA leakage) for external resistor divider to set secondary supply threshold |
| 6 | MR | Manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC (50kΩ); low assertion initiates MROUT, and sustained low triggers RESET |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | Separate MROUT (immediate interrupt) and RESET (delayed hard reset) enable staged system recovery without firmware intervention |
| Extended MR setup period | 3.36s typical window allows single pushbutton to serve both NMI interrupt and full reboot functions in same hardware |
| Adjustable secondary monitoring | RSTIN input with 0.63V reference supports precise threshold setting for any supply ≥0.63V using two high-value resistors |
| Low-power operation | 6µA typical ICC at 3.6V enables use in energy-sensitive applications such as portable media players and set-top boxes |
| Brownout immunity | Guaranteed valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V ensures reliable operation during deep undervoltage conditions |
Applications
| Set-Top Boxes | DVD Players |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6455UT31S+T | Same VCC threshold (3.075V), same RSTIN reference (0.63V), but push-pull RESET/MROUT outputs instead of open-drain | Requires no external pullups; incompatible with wired-OR or level-shifted reset buses | Select MAX6455UT31S+T only if system uses single-supply reset distribution and no shared reset bus |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-output (RESET only), fixed 3.3V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.4µA ICC, SOT23-6 package | Lacks manual reset output and adjustable secondary monitoring; no soft-reset interrupt capability | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where dual outputs and MR-controlled staging are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6456UT31S+T, MAX6455UT31S+T simplifies board layout by eliminating pullup resistors but sacrifices bus-sharing flexibility, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces component count and power draw at the expense of system-level reset staging and secondary supply supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6456UT31S+T?
The MAX6456UT31S+T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 3.075V, with tolerance of ±1.5% over temperature. This value is fixed per part number suffix "31" and is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. The threshold exhibits 60ppm/°C tempco, resulting in ≤±0.5% drift over temperature extremes. This precise value targets 3.3V nominal supply systems for reliable brownout detection without calibration.
How does the manual reset input function on MAX6456UT31S+T?
On the MAX6456UT31S+T, the MR input controls both MROUT and RESET outputs. Pulling MR low immediately asserts MROUT. If MR remains low for ≥3.36s (typical extended setup period), RESET also asserts. After MR is released, both outputs remain low for ≥140ms before deasserting. This dual-stage behavior enables one pushbutton to trigger either an interrupt (short press) or full reboot (long press), with no external timing components required.
Can MAX6456UT31S+T monitor a 1.2V supply, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX6456UT31S+T can monitor a 1.2V supply using its RSTIN pin. Connect RSTIN to the center tap of a resistor divider between the 1.2V rail and ground. With RSTIN's internal 0.630V threshold, select R1 and R2 such that 1.2V × R2/(R1+R2) = 0.630V - e.g., R2 = 250kΩ, R1 ≈ 226kΩ. The high-impedance input (±25nA leakage) minimizes divider current, preserving efficiency while enabling accurate secondary supply supervision.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for MAX6456UT31S+T's supply and I/O pins?
The MAX6456UT31S+T has absolute maximum ratings of VCC = -0.3V to +6V, MR and RSTIN = -0.3V to +6V, and open-drain RESET/MROUT = -0.3V to +6V. Input current on any pin must not exceed ±20mA. Continuous power dissipation is 696mW at +70°C (derated 8.7mW/°C above), junction temperature must stay ≤+150°C, and storage temperature range is -65°C to +150°C. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage.
Is MAX6456UT31S+T compatible with 1.8V microprocessor reset inputs?
Yes, MAX6456UT31S+T is compatible with 1.8V µP reset inputs via its open-drain outputs. Connect the RESET and MROUT pins to a 1.8V pullup supply (not VCC). When asserted, the outputs sink current to GND; when deasserted, they float, allowing the 1.8V pullup to define the high state. This level-shifting capability supports mixed-voltage systems without additional logic, provided VCC remains ≥1.0V for internal operation.
