Product details
Overview
MAX6468US16D3+T from Analog Devices is a push-pull output microprocessor supervisory reset circuit in SOT143-4 package, monitoring +1.8V supplies with factory-trimmed 1.575V reset threshold (±1.5% at +25°C), 150ms min VCC and MR reset timeout, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1V. It serves as a system-level power-on reset and brownout detector in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6468US16D3+T datasheet, MAX6468US16D3+T pinout, MAX6468US16D3+T application, or MAX6468US16D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualified automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), edge-triggered manual reset with 150ms one-shot pulse, push-pull active-low RESET output, low 3µA supply current at 1.8V, and immunity to <100ns MR glitches.
Technical Context
The MAX6468US16D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference and comparator to detect VCC falling below 1.575V, triggering an immediate active-low RESET assertion. Its internal timing circuitry generates fixed 150ms (min) reset timeout periods for both VCC recovery and MR falling-edge events, independent of supply voltage.
It features an integrated 1.5kΩ pullup resistor on MR, accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels, and provides push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing 500µA at 0.8×VCC (VCC ≥ 2.5V) and sinking 3.2mA at VOL ≤ 0.3V (VCC ≥ 4.5V), eliminating external pullup components required by open-drain variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.575V (min), ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C - precisely matches +1.8V supply brownout detection with margin |
| VCC Operating Range | +1.2V to +5.5V - supports wide input range while maintaining valid RESET down to +1V |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms (min) - meets minimum reset hold time requirements for most ARM Cortex-M and PIC microcontrollers |
| Supply Current | 3µA at VCC = +1.8V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| MR Glitch Rejection | 100ns - rejects contact bounce and EMI-induced noise on manual reset line without external RC |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - drives RESET directly without external pullup, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM count |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 for under-hood automotive applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: 4-pin SOT143 (U4+1, outline 21-0052), 1.3mm × 2.1mm footprint, lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant (+T suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path |
| 2 RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver asserts low during VCC brownout or MR edge; sinks up to 3.2mA, sources 500µA |
| 3 MR | Edge-triggered manual reset input | Falling edge initiates 150ms one-shot reset pulse; internal 1.5kΩ pullup allows direct switch-to-GND connection |
| 4 VCC | Power and monitored supply | Provides operating power and is the voltage being supervised; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 1.575V threshold | Eliminates need for external resistor divider; ensures accurate +1.8V supply monitoring across temperature |
| Edge-triggered MR with one-shot timing | Guarantees single 150ms reset pulse even if switch remains closed - prevents repeated resets during maintenance |
| Push-pull RESET output | Drives microcontroller reset pin directly without pullup resistor - reduces component count and layout area |
| 100ns MR glitch rejection | Rejects mechanical switch bounce and EMI transients - removes need for external debounce circuitry |
| Valid RESET down to VCC = +1V | Ensures clean reset assertion during deep brownout or slow power-down sequences in automotive systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6315US29D3+T | Higher 2.925V reset threshold; same SOT143 package and 150ms timeout | Designed for +3.3V supply monitoring, not +1.8V systems | Select only when supervising 3.3V rails - incompatible for 1.8V brownout detection |
| TLV809EC29DBVR | 2.93V threshold, 140ms timeout, SOT-23-3 package, no MR input | Lacks manual reset functionality and operates only over –40°C to +125°C with reduced accuracy | Use where MR is unnecessary and board space is critical; not suitable for systems requiring field-service reset |
Compared with MAX6468US16D3+T, MAX6315US29D3+T targets higher-voltage rails and TLV809EC29DBVR omits manual reset - neither provides the precise 1.575V threshold, edge-triggered MR, or push-pull drive needed for reliable +1.8V system supervision in automotive or industrial environments.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6468US16D3+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6468US16D3+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 1.575V, with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C. Over the full –40°C to +125°C range, threshold variation is ±2.5% (–40°C to +85°C) and ±3% (+85°C to +125°C). This ensures robust +1.8V supply monitoring across automotive and industrial thermal profiles without external calibration.
Does the MAX6468US16D3+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX6468US16D3+T uses a push-pull RESET output, so no external pullup resistor is required. Unlike the open-drain MAX6467 variant, the MAX6468US16D3+T actively drives RESET high when not asserted, simplifying interface to microcontrollers and reducing BOM count and PCB area.
How does the manual reset (MR) function work on the MAX6468US16D3+T?
The MR input on the MAX6468US16D3+T is edge-triggered: a falling edge initiates a fixed 150ms (min) one-shot RESET pulse, regardless of MR duration. Internal 1.5kΩ pullup allows direct connection of a momentary switch to GND. Switch bounce is rejected via 150ms rising-edge debounce, ensuring only one reset per button press.
Is the MAX6468US16D3+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6468US16D3+T is AEC-Q100 qualified and specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C. Its SOT143 package, precision threshold stability, and immunity to short VCC transients make it suitable for under-hood automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics modules.
What is the supply current consumption of the MAX6468US16D3+T at 1.8V?
The MAX6468US16D3+T draws only 3µA (typical) and up to 7.5µA (max) at VCC = +1.8V and TA = +25°C. This ultra-low quiescent current enables use in battery-powered or energy-harvesting systems where multi-year standby life is required.
