Product details
Overview
MAX6823ZUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in SOT23-5 package, featuring push-pull active-low RESET output, 2.32V reset threshold (Z suffix), 140ms minimum reset timeout, 1.6s watchdog timer, and debounced manual reset input. It monitors VCC down to +1.0V and ensures reliable µP startup/brownout recovery in portable and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6823ZUK+T datasheet, MAX6823ZUK+T pinout, MAX6823ZUK+T application, or MAX6823ZUK+T equivalent, this device delivers deterministic reset assertion during power-up, brownout, and software fault conditions - critical for battery-powered instrumentation, set-top boxes, and industrial controllers requiring guaranteed VCC-valid reset behavior.
Technical Context
The MAX6823ZUK+T integrates voltage monitoring, watchdog timer, and manual reset into a single 5-pin SOT23 device. Its internal reset generator asserts RESET low when VCC falls below 2.32V (±1.5% over temperature), holding it low for ≥140ms after VCC recovers above threshold. The watchdog circuit triggers reset if WDI remains static beyond 1.6s nominal timeout.
It features an internal 50kΩ MR pullup, supports CMOS-level MR/WDI inputs, and guarantees valid RESET output state down to VCC = +1.0V. The push-pull RESET output drives high (≥0.8×VCC) when deasserted and low (≤0.3V at 500µA sink) when asserted - eliminating external pullup requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.32V ±1.5% (Z suffix); precise brownout detection for 2.5V/3.3V system rails |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms min; ensures µP completes power stabilization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s nominal; detects firmware hangs without requiring external timing components |
| VCC Operating Range | +1.2V to +5.5V (–40°C to +125°C); supports ultra-low-voltage operation down to 1.2V |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low; eliminates need for external pullup resistor on reset line |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup; enables momentary switch interface without external components |
| Supply Current | 25µA max (–40°C to +125°C, VCC = +3.6V); enables long battery life in portable equipment |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5 (U5-1 outline, 21-0057 land pattern), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts low during VCC brownout, MR activation, 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 internal logic |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; toggling within 1.6s prevents reset; left unconnected disables watchdog |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage and monitored rail; reset threshold referenced to this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures correct reset state even during deep brownout or battery sag below 1.2V |
| No external components required | Integrates pullup, debounce, timing capacitors, and voltage reference - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs, 100mV VCC glitches without false reset - improves noise robustness in noisy environments |
| 1.6s watchdog timeout with edge-triggered clear | Resets timer on any WDI rising/falling edge - enables flexible software supervision without strict pulse timing |
| Five operating voltage ranges supported | Configurable for 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.3V, or 5.0V systems via Z-suffix (2.32V) threshold selection |
Applications
| Set-Top Boxes | Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power sequencing and brownout recovery during AC dropout or standby mode transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory IC asserting active-low RESET to hold µP in reset until stable 3.3V rail is restored.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6822ZUK+T | Open-drain RESET output (vs. push-pull); requires external pullup resistor | Suitable for bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) or wired-OR reset buses | Select when interfacing with µPs requiring open-drain reset or shared reset lines |
| MAX6315US23D3+T | Single-function supervisor (no watchdog or MR); 2.33V threshold; 200ms timeout; SOT23-5 | Lacks watchdog and manual reset - used where only voltage monitoring is required | Select when design does not require software fault detection or user-initiated reset |
Compared with MAX6823ZUK+T, MAX6822ZUK+T offers open-drain flexibility but adds BOM cost and layout complexity; MAX6315US23D3+T reduces feature set and cost but sacrifices runtime supervision capability - making MAX6823ZUK+T optimal for compact, self-monitoring embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6823ZUK+T?
The MAX6823ZUK+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.32V, with ±1.5% tolerance over the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in the Threshold Suffix Guide and Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet, and applies specifically to the Z-suffix variant of the MAX6823 series.
Does MAX6823ZUK+T include a watchdog timer and manual reset input?
Yes, the MAX6823ZUK+T includes both a 1.6s nominal watchdog timer and an active-low manual reset (MR) input with internal 50kΩ pullup. These functions are explicitly documented in the General Description, Selector Guide, and Pin Description sections - distinguishing it from MAX6824/MAX6825 variants that omit one or both features.
What is the reset output configuration of MAX6823ZUK+T?
The MAX6823ZUK+T features a push-pull active-low RESET output. Unlike the open-drain version (MAX6822), this configuration drives high (≥0.8×VCC) when deasserted and low (≤0.3V at 500µA sink) when asserted - eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor on the reset line.
Can MAX6823ZUK+T operate reliably at VCC = +1.0V?
Yes, the MAX6823ZUK+T guarantees correct RESET output state down to VCC = +1.0V, as stated in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions - a key differentiator versus supervisors requiring ≥1.2V minimum supply.
What package type and footprint does MAX6823ZUK+T use?
The MAX6823ZUK+T uses a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (outline U5-1, land pattern 21-0057). This is confirmed in the Package Information section and Pin Configurations diagram - matching the mechanical dimensions and solder pad layout of standard SOT23-5 footprints used across industrial and consumer PCB designs.
