Product details
Overview
MAX6823MUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring push-pull active-low RESET output, 4.38V reset threshold (M suffix), 140ms minimum reset timeout, 1.6s watchdog timer, and debounced manual reset input. It monitors VCC supply integrity for critical µP systems during power-up, brownout, and software fault conditions in portable and embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6823MUK+T datasheet, MAX6823MUK+T pinout, MAX6823MUK+T application, or MAX6823MUK+T equivalent, this device serves as a precision voltage monitor with integrated watchdog and manual reset-key for reliable boot sequencing and runtime fault recovery in battery-powered instrumentation and set-top boxes.
Technical Context
The MAX6823MUK+T implements a dual-function supervisory architecture: a precision bandgap-based voltage detector with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and an independent RC-based watchdog timer with 1.6s nominal timeout. Its internal 50kΩ MR pullup enables direct switch-to-ground connection without external components.
RESET assertion occurs on VCC falling below 4.38V, MR low, or WDI timeout; the push-pull output drives low with VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 50µA and remains asserted for ≥140ms after VCC recovers. Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.0V ensures operation during deep brownout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V ±1.5% - precisely matches +5V rail monitoring with margin for ripple and drift |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for µP power stabilization and clock lock |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (nominal) - balances fault detection speed against false triggers in interrupt-driven firmware |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.2V to +5.5V - supports operation across 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low - eliminates need for external pullup; drives directly into µP reset pin |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup - enables momentary switch interface without external R |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive-adjacent embedded environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6823MUK+T uses a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-1 outline, land pattern 91-0174), footprint-compatible with industry-standard 5-lead SOT-23 layouts and reflow-process ready.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts low on VCC drop, MR low, or WDI timeout |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and reset timing accuracy |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (50kΩ); no external components needed |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; toggling within 1.6s clears internal timer; left floating disables watchdog |
| 5 | VCC | Supply input and monitored voltage source; reset threshold referenced to this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Integrates voltage reference, timer, pullup resistor, and output driver - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior even during severe brownout or battery sag conditions |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs, 100mV VCC glitches without spurious reset - improves system robustness in noisy power rails |
| Debounced manual reset input | Internal filtering eliminates need for RC network or firmware debounce - simplifies hardware and SW design |
| 1.6s watchdog timeout with 50ns pulse detection | Enables precise software execution monitoring while tolerating brief I/O delays or interrupt latency |
Applications
| Set-Top Boxes | Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power sequencing and firmware crash recovery in digital video receivers with multi-rail supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises +3.3V and +5V rails; asserts reset on undervoltage or watchdog timeout to force safe reboot. Use Value: Prevents frozen UI or corrupted channel tuning by ensuring µP restarts cleanly after brownout or hang. |
Use Scenario: Long-life operation in handheld test instruments powered by Li-ion batteries. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors declining battery voltage; triggers reset before µP enters undefined state due to insufficient VCC. Use Value: Extends usable battery window by enabling controlled shutdown instead of random lockup at ~4.38V. |
| Embedded Controllers | Intelligent Instruments |
Use Scenario: Industrial PLC modules requiring deterministic boot and runtime supervision. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides both power-on reset and software watchdog; MR supports field service reset via front-panel button. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate reset IC and discrete watchdog circuit - reduces cost and board space. |
Use Scenario: Precision data loggers with real-time clock and sensor interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ensures µP initializes correctly after cold start or transient-induced reset; WDI verifies main loop execution. Use Value: Maintains data integrity by preventing partial writes or missed sensor reads during firmware faults. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6822MUK+T | Open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull; identical threshold, timeout, and MR/WDI functions | Required when interfacing with µPs having bidirectional reset pins (e.g., legacy 68HC11) needing external pullup | Select MAX6822MUK+T only if open-drain drive and external pullup are part of the target µP interface spec. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no manual reset input, same SOT23-5 package | Lacks MR and WDI - suitable only for basic power-monitoring applications without user-initiated or software-monitored reset | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when manual reset and watchdog features are unnecessary and 3.3V threshold suffices. |
Compared with MAX6823MUK+T, MAX6822MUK+T offers identical supervision functionality but requires an external pullup for reset assertion, while TPS3808G33DBVR omits MR and WDI entirely-making MAX6823MUK+T the only option supporting full-feature µP supervision with 4.38V threshold in SOT23-5.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of MAX6823MUK+T?
The MAX6823MUK+T has a factory-programmed reset threshold of 4.38V ±1.5%, corresponding to the "M" suffix in its part number. This value is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and ensures reliable detection of +5V rail brownout conditions. The threshold hysteresis is 2 × VTH mV, preventing chatter near the trip point.
Does MAX6823MUK+T include a watchdog timer?
Yes, MAX6823MUK+T includes a 1.6s nominal watchdog timer that monitors the WDI pin for activity. If WDI remains static (high or low) beyond this period, the device asserts RESET for the full reset timeout duration (≥140ms). The timer clears on any WDI edge, MR low, or VCC reset event - enabling flexible firmware integration.
What type of reset output does MAX6823MUK+T provide?
MAX6823MUK+T provides a push-pull active-low RESET output. Unlike open-drain variants, it actively drives low during reset and high when inactive - eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor. This simplifies PCB layout and ensures fast, rail-to-rail reset signaling compatible with most modern µP reset inputs.
Can MAX6823MUK+T operate with supply voltages below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6823MUK+T operates with VCC as low as +1.2V over temperature (–40°C to +125°C) and down to +1.0V for guaranteed reset assertion. Its internal circuitry remains functional and RESET output valid even during deep brownout, making it suitable for ultra-low-power and battery-depleted scenarios where other supervisors fail.
Is manual reset supported on MAX6823MUK+T?
Yes, MAX6823MUK+T includes a dedicated active-low manual reset input (MR) with an internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC. Pulling MR low forces immediate RESET assertion, which persists for ≥140ms after MR returns high. No external components are required - a simple momentary switch from MR to GND provides field-service reset capability.
