Product details
Overview
MAX6823SUK-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in 5-pin SOT23 package, providing push-pull active-low RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and 1.6s watchdog timer. It monitors +3.08V supply with ±3% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, asserts reset during power-up/brownout, and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = +1.0V. Used in embedded controllers and portable equipment for reliable µP startup and fault recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6823SUK-T datasheet, MAX6823SUK-T pinout, MAX6823SUK-T application, or MAX6823SUK-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in battery-powered instruments and set-top boxes, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and interface differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6823SUK-T integrates voltage monitoring, watchdog timeout supervision, and debounced manual reset into a single BiCMOS IC. Its reset generator triggers on VCC falling below 3.08V (±3% at –40°C to +125°C), holds RESET low for ≥140ms after VCC recovers, and supports MR assertion with internal 50kΩ pullup and 200ns MR-to-reset delay.
Watchdog operation relies on WDI edge detection: any high/low transition within 1.6s (min 1.12s, max 2.4s over temperature) clears the timer; failure to toggle triggers reset. The push-pull active-low RESET output drives up to 3.2mA sink at VCC ≥ 4.25V with VOL ≤ 0.4V, and remains valid down to VCC = +1.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±3% (–40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable brownout detection for +3.3V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum; guarantees µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail recovery |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s nominal (1.12s–2.4s over temp); provides robust software execution monitoring without false triggers |
| VCC Supply Current | 25µA max at –40°C to +125°C, VCC = +3.6V; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered devices |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low; eliminates external pullup resistor and supports direct connection to µP reset pins |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.2V to +5.5V (–40°C to +125°C); allows operation during deep brownout while maintaining reset validity |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup; simplifies manual reset implementation using momentary switch to GND |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5 (U5-1 outline, land pattern 21-0057), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET (active-low) | Push-pull output asserted low during VCC undervoltage, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout; sinks up to 3.2mA |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and reset timing; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 3 | MR (manual reset) | Active-low input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC; 200ns delay to RESET assertion; accepts CMOS logic levels |
| 4 | WDI (watchdog input) | Edge-sensitive input; rising or falling edge resets 1.6s watchdog timer; left unconnected to disable watchdog |
| 5 | VCC | Supply and monitored voltage input; powers device and sets reset threshold; valid from +1.2V to +5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Integrates voltage monitor, watchdog, and manual reset in one SOT23-5 IC-reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete solutions |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior even during severe brownout conditions where other supervisors fail |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs, 100mV-deep VCC glitches without spurious reset-critical for noisy industrial power rails |
| Debounced manual reset input | Internal filtering eliminates need for external RC network; supports direct switch-to-GND connection |
| Watchdog edge detection (50ns pulse width) | Enables reliable software monitoring even with fast µP I/O toggling; avoids missed edges in high-speed code paths |
Applications
| Set-Top Boxes | Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment |

| Embedded Controllers | Intelligent Instruments |
Use Scenario: Industrial PLC I/O modules requiring deterministic boot after power interruption or ESD event. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides 140ms minimum reset hold time and manual reset via front-panel button for field service.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6822SUK-T | Open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull; requires external pullup resistor | Suitable for bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) but adds BOM item and layout routing overhead | Select when interfacing with legacy µPs requiring open-drain reset arbitration or shared reset bus |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms reset timeout, no manual reset input, lower quiescent current (1.8µA) | Lacks MR and watchdog-only voltage monitoring; optimized for low-power always-on systems without firmware supervision needs | Choose for simple power-good monitoring in energy-harvesting sensors where watchdog and manual reset are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6823SUK-T, MAX6822SUK-T offers open-drain flexibility at the cost of added external component and reduced drive strength, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades feature richness for ultra-low ICC and tighter threshold tolerance-making it suitable only for basic voltage monitoring without supervision logic.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6823SUK-T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6823SUK-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±3% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in the Threshold Suffix Guide and Electrical Characteristics table, where VTH min/max values are listed as 2.97V/3.17V at –40°C to +125°C. The 3.08V threshold is specifically selected for compatibility with +3.3V supply rails in embedded controllers and portable equipment.
Does MAX6823SUK-T include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout behavior?
Yes, the MAX6823SUK-T includes a watchdog timer with a nominal timeout period of 1.6 seconds. The actual timeout varies from 1.12s to 2.4s over temperature (–40°C to +125°C), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. The timer resets on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin; if no edge occurs within the timeout window, the device asserts the active-low RESET output for the full reset timeout period (≥140ms).
How does the manual reset (MR) input function on MAX6823SUK-T, and what external components are needed?
The MR input on MAX6823SUK-T is active-low with an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, so no external pullup is required. Driving MR low asserts RESET immediately, and RESET remains active for ≥140ms after MR returns high. A normally open momentary switch between MR and GND provides full manual reset functionality; no external debounce circuitry is needed due to internal filtering.
Can MAX6823SUK-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages, and down to what VCC level is reset guaranteed?
Yes, MAX6823SUK-T guarantees correct RESET output state down to VCC = +1.0V, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions where many competing supervisors lose functionality. Operation is fully specified from VCC = +1.2V to +5.5V across –40°C to +125°C.
What package type and footprint does MAX6823SUK-T use, and are there lead-free options?
MAX6823SUK-T uses the 5-pin SOT23-5 package (outline U5-1, land pattern 21-0057), measuring 1.3mm × 2.9mm. It is available in both leaded and lead(Pb)-free versions; the "-T" suffix denotes leaded packaging, while "+T" indicates lead-free. The package is RoHS-compliant and designed for standard reflow soldering processes.
