Product details
Overview
MAX6468US29D3+T from Analog Devices is a push-pull output microprocessor supervisory reset circuit monitoring +2.925V supply voltage with 150ms minimum reset timeout, active-low RESET assertion, and edge-triggered manual reset input - used in automotive control modules to ensure deterministic µP reset during cold-crank brownout events.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6468US29D3+T datasheet, MAX6468US29D3+T pinout, MAX6468US29D3+T application, or MAX6468US29D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-trimmed 2.925V threshold tolerance (±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C), VCC-operated down to +1.0V, 3µA supply current at 1.8V, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MAX6468US29D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis to detect VCC drops below its factory-set 2.925V threshold. Its internal one-shot timer triggers on MR falling edges and enforces fixed 150ms–300ms reset pulse width independent of MR signal duration.
It features dual timing paths: VCC reset timeout (150ms min) and MR reset timeout (150ms min), both guaranteed over -40°C to +125°C. The push-pull RESET output drives low to 0.3V at 3.2mA sink current and remains valid while VCC ≥ +1V, enabling robust operation during deep brownouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.925V (typ), ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - matches nominal +3.0V rail with 2.5% margin for automotive voltage variation |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms (min) - ensures µP reset hold time exceeds boot ROM initialization requirements |
| Supply Current | 3µA at VCC = +1.8V - enables use in always-on battery-backed systems without significant drain |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - guarantees functional RESET assertion even during severe brownout down to 1V |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor, reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 |
| MR Glitch Rejection | 100ns - rejects EMI-induced noise on manual reset line without external RC filtering |
Pinout & Package
MAX6468US29D3+T uses the 4-pin SOT143 package (U4+1 outline, 21-0052), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal biasing and RESET output sink current; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 2 RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver asserts low (≤0.3V @ 3.2mA) during VCC undervoltage or MR edge; directly interfaces µP /RESET pin |
| 3 MR | Manual reset input | Edge-triggered input with 1.5kΩ internal pullup; falling edge initiates fixed 150ms one-shot reset pulse |
| 4 VCC | Power and monitored supply | Supplies device and serves as monitored rail; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for transient immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 2.925V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider; supports +3.0V systems with ±2.5% accuracy across automotive temperature range |
| Edge-triggered MR with one-shot timing | Prevents repeated resets from switch bounce; guarantees single 150ms pulse per button press regardless of contact duration |
| Push-pull RESET output | Reduces component count by removing external pullup; improves noise immunity vs. open-drain in high-EMI environments |
| VCC-operated down to +1.0V | Ensures valid RESET assertion during deep brownout conditions common in automotive start-stop systems |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units, body controllers, and ADAS power domains |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6386US29D3+T | Same 2.925V threshold and 150ms timeout, but open-drain output requiring external pullup | Lacks push-pull drive strength; unsuitable where low-impedance RESET signaling is required | Select when legacy board design already includes pullup or when interfacing with multiple loads sharing RESET bus |
| TLV809E29DBZR | 2.93V threshold, 140ms timeout, 1.8–6V VCC range, but only rated to +105°C (not AEC-Q100) | Not qualified for automotive under-hood use; lacks MR debounce and glitch rejection specs | Acceptable for industrial or consumer applications where extended temperature and automotive qualification are not required |
Compared with MAX6468US29D3+T, MAX6386US29D3+T requires external pullup and offers lower drive capability, while TLV809E29DBZR omits AEC-Q100 validation and automotive temperature support - making MAX6468US29D3+T the only option meeting full automotive reset integrity requirements.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6468US29D3+T and how is it specified over temperature?
The MAX6468US29D3+T has a factory-trimmed typical reset threshold of 2.925V, with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C and ±3% over +85°C to +125°C. This specification ensures reliable detection of brownout on nominal +3.0V rails across full automotive operating conditions, and is verified per the Reset Threshold table in the official Analog Devices datasheet.
Does MAX6468US29D3+T support manual reset functionality, and how does its edge-triggered behavior work?
Yes, MAX6468US29D3+T features an edge-triggered manual reset (MR) input with built-in 150ms–300ms one-shot timing. A falling edge on MR initiates a fixed-duration low pulse on RESET, independent of MR signal width. Internal debounce ignores subsequent edges within 150ms of MR rising, eliminating switch bounce issues without external components.
What output type does MAX6468US29D3+T use, and why does it matter for system design?
MAX6468US29D3+T uses an active-low push-pull RESET output, meaning it actively drives low and high without requiring an external pullup resistor. This reduces BOM cost and PCB area, improves noise immunity in EMI-prone environments like automotive cabins, and provides stronger drive capability (3.2mA sink) than open-drain alternatives.
Is MAX6468US29D3+T qualified for automotive applications, and what standards does it meet?
Yes, MAX6468US29D3+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use and specified over -40°C to +125°C. It meets stringent automotive reliability requirements including thermal cycling, humidity testing, and ESD robustness - making it suitable for engine control units, body controllers, and telematics modules mounted in under-hood or cabin locations.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6468US29D3+T guarantees valid RESET output operation?
MAX6468US29D3+T guarantees valid RESET output operation down to VCC = +1.0V. This means the RESET signal remains asserted (low) with defined timing and voltage levels even during deep brownout conditions - a critical feature for automotive start-stop systems where battery voltage can dip below 2.0V during cranking.
