Product details
Overview
MAX6823RUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in SOT23-5 package, featuring push-pull active-low RESET output, 2.63V reset threshold (R suffix), 140ms minimum reset timeout, 1.6s watchdog timer, and debounced manual reset input. It monitors VCC for brownout detection and asserts reset during power-up, power-down, or software faults in embedded controllers and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6823RUK+T datasheet, MAX6823RUK+T pinout, MAX6823RUK+T application, or MAX6823RUK+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact pin roles, real-world timing behavior, voltage threshold accuracy across temperature, and validated alternatives for µP reset and watchdog supervision in space-constrained industrial and battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6823RUK+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, coupled to an internal RC-based watchdog timer that triggers reset if WDI remains static beyond 1.6s (min 1.12s, max 2.4s). Its push-pull RESET output drives low at VCC < 2.63V and holds asserted for ≥140ms after VCC recovers above threshold.
It integrates a 50kΩ internal MR pullup, accepts CMOS-compatible MR/WDI inputs, guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.0V, and rejects negative VCC transients ≤20µs when overdrive is ≤100mV - enabling robust operation in noisy or dynamically loaded systems without external filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V ±1.5% (R suffix); precise brownout detection for 2.7V–3.6V logic domains |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms min (100ms–320ms over temp); ensures µP completes power stabilization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s nominal (1.12s–2.4s over temp); detects firmware hangs in real-time control loops |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.2V to +5.5V (–40°C to +125°C); supports single-cell Li-ion, 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V rails |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low; eliminates external pullup, drives directly into µP reset pin |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup; enables momentary switch interface without external components |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial edge nodes |
Pinout & Package
MAX6823RUK+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT23-5 package (U5-1 outline, 91-0174 land pattern), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts low on VCC drop, MR low, or watchdog timeout |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits and reset timing accuracy |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (50kΩ); debounced by design |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; toggling within 1.6s prevents reset; left floating disables watchdog |
| 5 | VCC | Supply and monitored voltage rail; reset threshold referenced to this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures reliable reset assertion even during deep brownout or ultra-low-power wake-up sequences |
| No external components required | Integrates pullup resistor, timing RC, voltage reference, and watchdog oscillator - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Rejects ≤20µs glitches below threshold by ≥100mV - avoids spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
| 140ms min reset timeout with temperature compensation | Prevents premature µP release during slow-ramp power supplies or capacitive load discharge |
| Five-voltage monitoring range (+1.8V to +5.0V) | Single-family coverage for legacy 5V, modern 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V, and low-power 2.1V–2.75V systems |
Applications
| Set-Top Boxes | Embedded Controllers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power sequencing and firmware crash recovery in cable/satellite STBs with multi-rail power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3V main logic rail and asserts active-low RESET to ARM-based SoC during brownout or watchdog timeout. Use Value: Prevents corrupted channel tuning or HDMI handshake failure by enforcing clean cold boot after fault detection. | Use Scenario: Reliable startup and runtime monitoring in HVAC, PLC, or motor drive controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 2.5V or 3.3V MCU supply; MR pin connected to front-panel reset button; WDI fed by timer ISR. Use Value: Guarantees deterministic recovery from lockup without requiring service technician intervention. |
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Critical µP Monitoring |
Use Scenario: Long-life battery operation in handheld test instruments or medical sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Tracks declining Li-ion voltage (2.7V–3.6V range); uses 2.63V threshold (R suffix) to trigger graceful shutdown before cutoff. Use Value: Extends usable battery capacity by avoiding premature resets while ensuring data integrity on last save. | Use Scenario: Fail-safe operation in intelligent power meters or industrial gateways where µP failure must be detected within 2 seconds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides independent watchdog supervision of safety-critical firmware; RESET output tied to hardware reset chain. Use Value: Meets IEC 61508 SIL-2 requirements for self-checking reset generation with <2.4s max watchdog timeout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6822RUK+T | Same 2.63V threshold and timing specs, but open-drain RESET output | Requires external pullup; needed for bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) | Select when interfacing with µPs mandating open-drain reset or shared reset bus |
| TPS3808G26DBVR | 2.63V threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no manual reset input, lower quiescent current (1.1µA) | Lacks MR and WDI; suited for simple power-on reset only, not full watchdog supervision | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power applications where manual reset and watchdog are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6823RUK+T, MAX6822RUK+T offers identical supervision functionality but requires external pullup for reset signaling, while TPS3808G26DBVR reduces complexity and current draw at the expense of losing manual reset and watchdog features - making MAX6823RUK+T the optimal choice when full-feature µP supervision in minimal footprint is required.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6823RUK+T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6823RUK+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.63V with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 60ppm/°C, resulting in ≤10mV drift across the full range - sufficient for stable brownout detection in 2.7V–3.6V systems without recalibration.
Does MAX6823RUK+T require external components to operate as a complete supervisory circuit?
No. The MAX6823RUK+T operates autonomously with no external components: it includes an internal 50kΩ MR pullup, precision voltage reference, RC-based watchdog timer, and push-pull RESET driver. Only VCC, GND, MR (optional), and WDI (optional) connections are needed for full functionality.
How does the watchdog timer in MAX6823RUK+T respond to firmware stalls, and what is its timeout tolerance?
The MAX6823RUK+T watchdog timer triggers reset if WDI remains static for >1.6s (nominal), with min/max bounds of 1.12s and 2.4s over temperature. It clears on any WDI edge (rising or falling), enabling robust detection of infinite loops - unlike simple pulse-based watchdogs that may miss stuck states.
Can MAX6823RUK+T assert reset when VCC drops below 1.8V, and down to what supply level does it remain functional?
Yes. The MAX6823RUK+T monitors VCC down to +1.2V (operating range) and guarantees correct RESET assertion even when VCC falls to +1.0V - enabling reliable reset generation during deep brownout conditions common in battery-powered systems nearing end-of-life.
What is the function of Pin 3 (MR) on MAX6823RUK+T, and how should it be interfaced in a typical design?
Pin 3 is the active-low Manual Reset input. It features an internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC, so it can be left unconnected if unused. For user-initiated reset, connect a normally open momentary switch between MR and GND - no external debounce circuitry is required due to built-in filtering.
