Product details
Overview
MAX6468XS16D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull output microprocessor supervisory reset circuit in SC70-4 package, monitoring +1.8V supply with factory-trimmed 1.575V reset threshold (±1.5% at +25°C), 150ms minimum reset timeout, and edge-triggered manual reset. It ensures reliable power-on reset and brownout recovery in automotive-grade embedded systems operating from -40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6468XS16D3-T datasheet, MAX6468XS16D3-T pinout, MAX6468XS16D3-T application, or MAX6468XS16D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.575V threshold tolerance, push-pull active-low RESET output driving capability, MR debounce timing, VCC = +1V operation limit, and automotive temperature qualification.
Technical Context
The MAX6468XS16D3-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with hysteresis and an edge-triggered one-shot timer for manual reset. Its internal 1.5kΩ MR pullup resistor enables direct switch connection without external components, and the push-pull RESET output delivers 0.8×VCC high-level drive at 500µA sink current.
Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below 1.575V or on MR falling edge, with guaranteed 150ms minimum timeout for both VCC and MR events. The device remains functional down to VCC = +1V and rejects transients ≤100ns, ensuring immunity to short supply glitches during system operation.

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 SC70-4 package, 2.925V threshold, 150ms timeout; open-drain output requires external pullup | Designed for +3.3V systems; not suitable for +1.8V monitoring without level-shifting | Select only if higher threshold and open-drain interface match system architecture |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | 1.5V threshold, 200ms timeout, SOT-23-5 package; 1.6µA quiescent current at 1.8V | Includes watchdog timer; lacks edge-triggered MR debounce logic | Choose when watchdog functionality is required and MR debounce is implemented externally |
Compared with MAX6468XS16D3-T, MAX6386US29D3-T requires external pullup and targets higher supply rails, while TPS3808G15DBVR adds watchdog capability but increases pin count and removes integrated MR debouncing-making MAX6468XS16D3-T optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained +1.8V automotive reset applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6468XS16D3-T and how is it trimmed?
The MAX6468XS16D3-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 1.575V, with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production to match the "16" suffix in the part number and is specified in the Reset Threshold table of the datasheet. The threshold is designed specifically to monitor +1.8V supplies with adequate margin for variation and temperature drift.
Does MAX6468XS16D3-T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6468XS16D3-T does not require an external pullup resistor because it features a push-pull active-low RESET output. Unlike the open-drain MAX6467 variant, the MAX6468 version internally drives both high and low states, enabling direct connection to microprocessor reset inputs without additional components-reducing BOM cost and PCB footprint.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6468XS16D3-T guarantees valid RESET output operation?
MAX6468XS16D3-T guarantees valid RESET output operation down to VCC = +1V. Below this voltage, the internal circuitry may no longer assert or deassert RESET reliably. This specification ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions common in automotive and battery-powered systems before complete power collapse.
How does the manual reset (MR) input of MAX6468XS16D3-T handle switch bounce?
The MR input of MAX6468XS16D3-T incorporates a built-in 150ms rising-edge debounce period (tDEB). After MR transitions from low to high, subsequent falling edges within that window are ignored, ensuring only one 150ms RESET pulse per button press. This eliminates need for external RC filtering or firmware debouncing in applications using mechanical pushbuttons.
Is MAX6468XS16D3-T qualified for automotive applications and what temperature range does it support?
Yes, MAX6468XS16D3-T is qualified for automotive applications and operates over the full -40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. It is packaged in SC70-4 and specified for use in engine control units, ADAS modules, and infotainment systems where extended temperature performance and AEC-Q100 stress testing compliance are required.
