Product details
Overview
MAX6466UK16+T from Maxim Integrated is a micropower supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, 1.6V lower trip threshold (VTH−), and 150ms minimum reset timeout period. It monitors VCC supply voltage in battery-powered systems, asserts reset when VCC falls below 1.56V (min, −40°C to +125°C), and holds reset for ≥150ms after VCC rises above 1.63V (min, −40°C to +125°C). Designed for portable medical devices and cellular phones requiring ultra-low quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6466UK16+T datasheet, MAX6466UK16+T pinout, MAX6466UK16+T application, or MAX6466UK16+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 150ms reset timeout, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 1.0µA supply current at 3.6V, and SOT23-5 lead-free packaging rated from −40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6466UK16+T implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistor networks to set VTH− = 1.600V (typ) and VTH+ = 1.672V (typ) at +25°C, yielding 4.5% hysteresis. Its open-drain output requires an external pullup and sinks ≥1.0mA at VCC ≥ 1.2V while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.3V.
This device belongs to the MAX6464–MAX6466 µP supervisory subgroup, distinguished by its fixed 150ms minimum reset timeout (tRP), immunity to transients <15µs at 100mV overdrive, and operation down to VCC = 1.2V - unlike the MAX6461–MAX6463 voltage detectors which lack timeout functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 6.0V - supports Li+ battery discharge down to 1.2V without functional loss. |
| Lower Threshold (VTH−) | 1.600V (typ) at +25°C; 1.560V to 1.640V over −40°C to +125°C - enables precise brownout detection for 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V rails. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms (min), 260ms (typ), 430ms (max) - ensures reliable µP initialization across temperature and process variation. |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 1.0µA (typ) at 3.6V, −40°C to +125°C - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 4.5% (typ) - prevents output chatter during slow-rising/falling VCC near trip point. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows level-shifting via external pullup to logic supplies up to 6V. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive cabin and industrial embedded environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (5-pin, lead-free, tape-and-reel); 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint; thermal pad not present; RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pullup; sinks ≥1.0mA at VCC ≥ 1.2V. |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be connected directly to system ground plane. |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input and monitored voltage rail; operates from 1.2V to 6.0V. |
| 4 | GND | Second ground terminal; both GND pins must be connected to minimize ground bounce. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 1.0µA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices. |

Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Cellular Handsets |
|---|---|

Use Value: ±2.5% threshold accuracy ensures consistent trip point from −40°C to +125°C - no derating or margining needed. |
Use Scenario: Optical heart-rate sensor module powered by rechargeable LiPo, requiring fail-safe shutdown below safe operating voltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides active-low reset signal to sensor ASIC and BLE radio, ensuring coordinated power-down before brownout. Use Value: Open-drain output pulled to 1.8V logic rail enables direct interface with low-voltage peripherals without level translators. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6466UR16+T | SOT23-3 package (3-pin); no N.C. pin; single GND pin; identical electrical specs. | Smaller PCB footprint (1.3mm × 1.0mm vs. 2.9mm × 1.6mm); reduced thermal mass; no second GND path. | Select when board space is constrained and ground loop control is less critical than in high-noise industrial designs. |
| TPS3808G16DBVR | Texas Instruments part; 1.6V threshold; push-pull active-low output; 360ms min timeout; 1.1µA ICC. | Higher timeout (360ms vs. 150ms); push-pull eliminates external pullup; different pinout (SOT23-6). | Choose when longer reset hold time is required or when eliminating external components outweighs pin-count compatibility. |
Compared with MAX6466UK16+T, the MAX6466UR16+T saves board area but sacrifices dual-GND noise immunity, while the TPS3808G16DBVR offers longer timeout and push-pull drive at the cost of non-drop-in layout and higher minimum pulse width.

FAQ
What is the exact lower voltage threshold (VTH−) of MAX6466UK16+T over temperature?
The MAX6466UK16+T has a lower trip threshold of 1.600V (typical) at +25°C, with guaranteed limits of 1.560V (minimum) to 1.640V (maximum) across the full −40°C to +125°C operating range. This ±2.5% accuracy is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and validated over temperature, ensuring consistent brownout detection in extreme environments where the MAX6466UK16+T is deployed.
Does MAX6466UK16+T require external components to function?
No, the MAX6466UK16+T requires no external resistors, capacitors, or timing components. Its threshold, hysteresis, and 150ms minimum reset timeout are fully internal. Only an external pullup resistor on the open-drain OUT pin is needed - typically 10kΩ to 100kΩ - to establish the logic-high level, making the MAX6466UK16+T a true single-component supervisory solution.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the MAX6466UK16+T output?
The MAX6466UK16+T open-drain output can sink up to 1.0mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.3V at VCC ≥ 1.2V, per the Electrical Characteristics table. At higher supply voltages (≥2.5V), it sustains 4.0mA with VOL ≤ 0.3V, and at ≥4.5V, it handles 9.0mA with VOL ≤ 0.4V - sufficient to directly drive most µP reset inputs and logic gates without buffering.
Can MAX6466UK16+T operate with a 1.2V supply?
Yes, the MAX6466UK16+T is fully specified to operate down to VCC = 1.2V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its 1.0µA supply current and functional reset assertion remain valid at this minimum supply, enabling use in deeply discharged Li+ cells or low-voltage energy-harvesting systems where the MAX6466UK16+T maintains supervision integrity.
How does the 150ms reset timeout of MAX6466UK16+T behave across temperature?
The reset timeout period of the MAX6466UK16+T is specified as 150ms (minimum), 260ms (typical), and 430ms (maximum) over −40°C to +125°C. The Typical Operating Characteristics graph "Normalized Output Timeout Period vs. Temperature" shows variation within ±2% of nominal across the range, confirming that the MAX6466UK16+T delivers robust, temperature-stable reset timing essential for reliable µP boot sequences.
