Product details
Overview
MAX6822WUK from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in SOT23-5 package, featuring open-drain active-low RESET output, 1.67V reset threshold (W suffix), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and 1.6s watchdog timeout. It monitors VCC supply integrity, asserts reset during brownout or power-up, and supports manual reset and watchdog supervision for embedded controllers and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6822WUK datasheet, MAX6822WUK pinout, MAX6822WUK application, or MAX6822WUK equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact reset threshold and timing parameters, confirmed SOT23-5 pin mapping, and validated alternative options for µP supervision in battery-powered and automotive-grade systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6822WUK implements a precision voltage monitor with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, guaranteed valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.0V. Its internal watchdog timer detects µP code stalls by monitoring WDI edge transitions within a 1.6s window, clearing on any rising or falling edge.
Reset generation uses an internal timeout counter that holds RESET asserted for ≥140ms after VCC rises above 1.67V, MR returns high, or watchdog triggers. The open-drain RESET output interfaces directly with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) using a single external pullup resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.67V ±1.5% - precisely triggers reset when VCC falls below nominal supply for 1.8V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail recovery |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (nominal) - provides robust software execution monitoring without excessive false triggers |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.53V to +2.0V - fully specified operation across full temperature range for ultra-low-voltage designs |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - enables wired-OR reset bus and direct interface with bidirectional µP reset I/O |
| Manual Reset Input | Active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup - eliminates external components for pushbutton reset implementation |
| Supply Current | 16µA (max at +125°C) - enables use in always-on battery-backed monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
MAX6822WUK is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, lead-free compatible, rated for -40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output - requires external pullup; sinks 50µA at 0.4V for reliable logic-low assertion |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for all internal circuitry and reset timing functions |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC (50kΩ); 1µs minimum pulse width required |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - toggling edge clears 1.6s timer; unconnected or three-stated disables watchdog |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage and monitored rail - powers device and serves as input to voltage threshold comparator |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior even during deep brownout conditions before full power collapse |
| No external components required | Integrates pullup on MR, threshold reference, watchdog oscillator, and reset timer - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs, 100mV undershoot without spurious reset - avoids false triggers from switching noise |
| 140ms min reset timeout with temperature stability | Timeout varies <±10% over full -40°C to +125°C range - eliminates need for external RC timing |
| Open-drain RESET with 1.0µA max leakage | Enables multi-source reset arbitration and compatibility with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V µP I/O voltage domains |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Automotive Body Control Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6822TUK | 3.08V reset threshold; same SOT23-5 package, pinout, and timing specs | Designed for 3.3V systems instead of 1.8V/ultra-low-voltage rails | Select when supervising 3.3V logic supplies - identical functionality except threshold voltage |
| TPS3808G16DBVR | 1.6V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms reset timeout, push-pull RESET, 1.5µA IQ | Lacks watchdog timer and manual reset input; optimized for ultra-low-power static supervision | Choose when watchdog and MR are unnecessary and sub-µA quiescent current is critical |
Compared with MAX6822WUK, MAX6822TUK offers identical supervision architecture but targets higher-voltage rails, while TPS3808G16DBVR trades watchdog/manual reset capability for lower IQ and tighter threshold tolerance - making it suitable only for static voltage monitoring without runtime fault detection.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6822WUK?
The MAX6822WUK has a factory-programmed reset threshold of 1.67V, with ±1.5% accuracy over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in the Threshold Suffix Guide and Electrical Characteristics table under VTH for MAX682_W. The MAX6822WUK is specifically intended for monitoring 1.8V supply rails where early brownout detection is critical.
Does MAX6822WUK include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout period?
Yes, the MAX6822WUK includes a watchdog timer with a nominal timeout period of 1.6 seconds. This is explicitly stated in the Features section and verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under tWD. The timer resets on any edge (rising or falling) at the WDI pin and remains cleared while RESET is asserted - a core function shared across MAX6821/MAX6822/MAX6823/MAX6824 variants.
What type of RESET output does MAX6822WUK provide, and how is it used?
The MAX6822WUK provides an open-drain active-low RESET output (Pin 1). As documented in the Pin Description and Selector Guide, this allows direct connection to bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) using a single external pullup resistor. The output sinks 50µA maximum at 0.4V when asserted, ensuring compatibility with 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic families.
Is manual reset functionality available on MAX6822WUK, and what are its electrical characteristics?
Yes, MAX6822WUK includes an active-low manual reset input (MR, Pin 3) with an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. The MR pin accepts CMOS-level signals, requires a minimum 1µs pulse width, and provides 100ns glitch rejection. When pulled low, it forces RESET assertion for the full 140ms timeout period after release - a feature confirmed in the Selector Guide and Detailed Description sections.
What is the operating voltage range for MAX6822WUK, and why is it narrower than other variants in the family?
The MAX6822WUK operates from +1.53V to +2.0V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for MAX682_W. This narrow range reflects its optimization for ultra-low-voltage 1.8V systems: the internal bandgap reference and comparator are trimmed and characterized only within this window to ensure ±1.5% threshold accuracy and guaranteed reset validity down to +1.0V - unlike higher-threshold variants rated for 2.7V–5.5V operation.
