Product details
Overview
MAX6822SUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring open-drain active-low RESET output, 3.08V reset threshold (suffix 'S'), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and 1.6s watchdog timer. It monitors VCC for brownout detection, supports manual reset via MR pin, and operates reliably down to VCC = +1.0V - used in set-top boxes, embedded controllers, and portable battery-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6822SUK+T datasheet, MAX6822SUK+T pinout, MAX6822SUK+T application, or MAX6822SUK+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact pin roles, confirmed reset/wdog timing, true supply voltage range (1.2V–5.5V), and validated alternative options for µP supervision in industrial and portable systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6822SUK+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 60ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 2×VTH hysteresis, ensuring stable reset assertion across -40°C to +125°C. Its internal watchdog timer detects µP code stalls by monitoring WDI edge transitions, clearing on any rising/falling edge and timing out after 1.12–2.40s depending on temperature.
Reset generation uses a dedicated analog comparator and digital timeout counter; the open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and interfaces directly with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11). MR input includes a 50kΩ internal pullup and rejects <100ns glitches, enabling robust manual reset without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V (±3%, -40°C to +125°C) - precisely matches 3.0V system rails with margin for tolerance and drift |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms min - ensures µP completes power-up initialization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s nominal (1.12–2.40s over temp) - balances fault detection speed vs. false triggers during long ISR execution |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.2V to +5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and across 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V logic domains |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - enables wired-OR reset bus and direct interface to bidirectional µP reset I/O |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup - eliminates need for external resistor; accepts CMOS or open-drain drive |

Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5 (U5-1 outline, 21-0057 land pattern), footprint-compatible with industry-standard 5-lead SOT-23 devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET (open-drain) | Active-low reset signal output; requires external pullup; sinks 50µA at VCC ≥1.0V |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits and voltage monitoring |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC; asserts reset when low |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; edge-sensitive; clears internal 1.6s timer on rising or falling transition |
| 5 | VCC | Supply input and monitored voltage rail; reset asserted when VCC falls below 2.93V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures reliable reset assertion even during severe brownout conditions where other supervisors fail |
| No external components required | Integrates voltage reference, comparator, timer, pullup resistor, and glitch filter - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs, 100mV VCC glitches without spurious reset - avoids unnecessary system restarts |
| Debounced manual reset input | Internal 100ns glitch rejection and 200ns MR-to-reset delay eliminate need for external RC debounce |
| 1.6s watchdog timeout with edge-triggered clear | Prevents software lockup by requiring periodic WDI toggling - not just level-hold, improving fault coverage |
Applications
| Set-Top Boxes | Embedded Controllers |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-supervision: MAX6822SUK+T monitors 5V MCU supply while separate supervisor watches 3.3V CAN transceiver rail. Use Value: Provides independent reset sources - prevents single-point failure from compromising safety-critical functions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UR29+T | Fixed 2.93V threshold, no watchdog, push-pull RESET, 140ms timeout, same SOT23-5 package | Lacks WDI functionality; suitable only where software-level watchdog is handled externally | Select when system already implements watchdog in firmware and only voltage monitoring + reset is needed |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold, 200ms timeout, open-drain RESET, no manual reset input, 1.5µA quiescent current | Higher threshold and longer timeout; MR pin omitted - requires external button circuit if manual reset needed | Choose for ultra-low-power 3.3V systems where MR is unused and extended reset hold improves noise immunity |
Compared with MAX6822SUK+T, MAX6326UR29+T removes watchdog capability but simplifies design for basic reset-only use cases, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades manual reset and watchdog for lower ICC and tighter threshold accuracy - both require layout review due to differing pinouts and absence of MR/WDI terminals.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6822SUK+T and how is it specified over temperature?
The MAX6822SUK+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed range of 2.83V to 3.02V over -40°C to +125°C. This is defined as the VCC voltage at which the RESET output asserts low during falling VCC, with 2×VTH hysteresis (≈5.86mV) preventing chatter near threshold. The 60ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures minimal drift across full industrial temperature range - critical for systems operating in uncontrolled environments where thermal stability affects boot reliability.
Does MAX6822SUK+T require external components to operate, and what happens if the MR pin is left unconnected?
No, MAX6822SUK+T requires zero external components: it integrates a precision voltage reference, comparator, reset timer, 50kΩ MR pullup resistor, and glitch filter. If MR is left unconnected, the internal pullup holds it at VCC, disabling manual reset - the device functions normally for power-on reset and watchdog supervision. This simplifies design for applications where physical reset buttons are unnecessary, reducing BOM cost and PCB footprint without sacrificing core supervision functionality.
How does the watchdog timer in MAX6822SUK+T differ from simple timeout-based watchdogs, and what is the minimum WDI pulse width it accepts?
The MAX6822SUK+T watchdog clears on *any* edge (rising or falling) at WDI - not just level transitions - making it immune to stuck-at-high/low faults. It accepts pulses as narrow as 50ns, enabling use with fast µP GPIOs without additional pulse-stretching circuitry. Unlike basic timers that reset only on level change, this edge-triggered behavior ensures detection of software hangs even when WDI is toggled rapidly within tight loops, significantly improving fault coverage for safety-critical embedded code.
Can MAX6822SUK+T be used with microcontrollers that have bidirectional reset pins, and what external component is needed?
Yes, MAX6822SUK+T's open-drain RESET output is specifically designed for bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11). Only a single external pullup resistor (typically 10kΩ to VCC) is required - connecting RESET directly to the µP's reset pin allows either device to assert reset. This eliminates level-shifting or OR-ing logic, simplifying interface design while maintaining full reset arbitration capability between supervisor and µP - essential for systems where firmware may also initiate controlled restarts.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6822SUK+T guarantees correct RESET output state, and why is this important?
MAX6822SUK+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.0V - meaning it continues asserting reset correctly even as supply collapses far below typical µP operating voltage (e.g., 1.8V). This is critical for preventing "runaway" behavior during deep brownout: while the µP may become unstable or execute random instructions below 1.2V, MAX6822SUK+T holds it in reset until VCC recovers sufficiently, ensuring deterministic power-down and eliminating corrupted memory writes or peripheral misconfiguration.
