Product details
Overview
MAX6712LEXS-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull RESET output, designed to monitor +5.0V power supplies and assert reset during brownout, power-up, or manual reset events. It features a 4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum reset timeout, 12µA supply current at +25°C, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1V. Used in critical µP systems requiring reliable power-on initialization and transient immunity.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6712LEXS-T datasheet, MAX6712LEXS-T pinout, MAX6712LEXS-T application, or MAX6712LEXS-T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SC70-4 package details, manual reset timing behavior, reset threshold temperature stability (30ppm/°C), and direct alternatives for 5V-supervised embedded controllers and portable instrumentation.
Technical Context
The MAX6712LEXS-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis to detect VCC drops below its factory-trimmed 4.63V threshold. Its internal logic ensures reset remains asserted for ≥140ms after VCC rises above threshold or after MR deassertion - independent of temperature and supply variation.
It integrates a 20kΩ internal pull-up on the MR input, accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible signals, and guarantees correct RESET logic state (high) for VCC as low as +1V. The push-pull output drives loads directly without external components, supporting immediate µP reset assertion in battery-powered and industrial control systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable detection before 5V supply falls below 4.5V, preventing µP execution errors. |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms min after VCC rise - meets JEDEC JESD82-1F power-on reset duration requirements for most 5V microcontrollers. |
| Supply Current | 12µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered portable equipment without compromising supervision integrity. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - allows valid reset signaling even during deep brownout, with output guaranteed high down to VCC = +1V. |
| MR Input Threshold | VIL = 0.3×VCC, VIH = 0.7×VCC - compatible with standard CMOS logic families across full VCC range. |
| Reset Tempco | 30ppm/°C - limits threshold drift to <±15mV over full temperature range, eliminating need for system-level recalibration. |
| Transient Immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤20µs wide at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6712LEXS-T is housed in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline X4-1, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm × 0.55mm, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts in handheld and sensor modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane for stable reset timing. |
| 2 RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin high during fault conditions; sinks/source up to 1.2mA; no external pull-up required. |
| 3 MR | Manual reset input (active-low) | Internal 20kΩ pull-up enables switch-to-ground interface; 1µs minimum pulse width; 100ns glitch immunity. |
| 4 VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored +5.0V rail; supports operation from 1.0V to 5.5V; absolute max rating +6.0V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Integrated voltage reference, comparator, timer, and MR pull-up eliminate BOM cost and layout area for basic reset supervision. |
| 140ms min power-on reset pulse | Guaranteed minimum duration satisfies boot-time requirements of ARM Cortex-M0/M3, PIC18, and legacy 8051 µPs. |
| Valid reset down to VCC = +1V | Ensures deterministic µP reset state even during severe brownout - avoids undefined I/O states that cause latch-up or bus contention. |
| 4.63V precision reset threshold | Factory-trimmed to ±2.5% over temperature - tighter than standard 5% tolerance, enabling margin-critical 5V systems to operate closer to nominal. |
| SC70-4 ultra-small footprint | 1.25mm × 0.85mm body size reduces PCB area by >60% vs. SOT23-5, ideal for wearables and compact sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6711LEXS-T | Active-low push-pull RESET output; identical 4.63V threshold, timing, and SC70 package. | Requires µP with active-low reset input; incompatible with active-high-only interfaces like certain Renesas RL78 variants. | Select when interfacing with legacy µPs mandating low-active reset assertion and no level-shifting capability. |
| TLV803EC26DBVR | 4.63V threshold, active-high open-drain RESET, 1.8–6V VCC range, 0.5µA ICC, SOT-23-3 package. | Lacks manual reset input; requires external pull-up; lower supply current but no MR functionality. | Choose for ultra-low-power 5V systems where manual reset is unnecessary and board space permits SOT-23-3 footprint. |
Compared with MAX6712LEXS-T, MAX6711LEXS-T provides identical supervision accuracy and timing but inverted logic polarity - critical for compatibility with active-low reset architectures. TLV803EC26DBVR offers lower ICC and wider VCC range but omits MR and uses open-drain output, increasing component count and limiting use in manual-reset-requiring instruments.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX6712LEXS-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6712LEXS-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.63V with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 30ppm/°C, resulting in less than ±15mV drift across the full operating range. This stability ensures consistent brownout detection in automotive engine control units and industrial automation hardware where ambient temperature varies widely.
Does the MAX6712LEXS-T require external components to function as a reset supervisor?
No, the MAX6712LEXS-T operates autonomously with no external components. It integrates a precision voltage reference, comparator, reset timer, and 20kΩ internal pull-up resistor on the MR pin. Only VCC, GND, RESET, and MR connections are needed - simplifying design, reducing BOM cost, and improving reliability in portable medical devices and sensor nodes.
How does the manual reset (MR) input behave on the MAX6712LEXS-T?
The MR input on the MAX6712LEXS-T is active-low with an internal 20kΩ pull-up resistor. When pulled low (≤0.3×VCC), it asserts RESET immediately and holds it active for ≥140ms after release. It accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and tolerates 100ns glitches. A momentary switch to ground suffices - no external debounce circuitry is required, making it ideal for field-serviceable test equipment.
Can the MAX6712LEXS-T operate reliably when the supply voltage drops below 2.0V?
Yes, the MAX6712LEXS-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state (high) down to VCC = +1.0V. Below 1.0V, the output becomes high-impedance, but for VCC ≥1.0V - including brownout conditions common in lithium-thionyl chloride battery systems - the device maintains deterministic reset behavior, preventing undefined µP states during critical power transitions.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6712LEXS-T use?
The MAX6712LEXS-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (X4-1 outline, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm × 0.55mm. Its ultra-compact footprint saves >60% PCB area versus SOT-23-5 alternatives, enabling integration into space-limited applications such as wearable health monitors and miniaturized IoT edge nodes without sacrificing supervision performance.
