Product details
Overview
MAX6824SUK-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in 5-pin SOT23 package, combining voltage monitoring (3.08V threshold), watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), and dual push-pull reset outputs (RESET and RESET). It asserts reset during power-up, brownout, or software hang, with guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.0V - used in set-top boxes, embedded controllers, and portable battery-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6824SUK-T datasheet, MAX6824SUK-T pinout, MAX6824SUK-T application, or MAX6824SUK-T equivalent, this page delivers verified circuit role, exact reset threshold, watchdog timing, dual-reset behavior, and validated alternatives for critical µP monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6824SUK-T integrates a precision voltage detector with 3.08V ±3% threshold (suffix "T"), a 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions, and two independent push-pull reset outputs: active-low RESET and active-high RESET. Reset assertion is triggered by VCC drop below threshold, manual reset via MR input (not present on MAX6824), or watchdog timeout.
Unlike MAX6821–MAX6823/MAX6825, the MAX6824SUK-T omits the manual reset input (MR) but retains WDI and both reset outputs. Its reset timeout period is 140ms (min), and it guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = +1.0V - enabling reliable supervision in ultra-low-voltage brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±3% - precisely monitors +3.3V supply rails with built-in hysteresis to prevent chatter during voltage recovery. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail settling after brownout recovery. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s nominal - detects firmware hangs in embedded controllers without requiring external timing components. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.2V to +5.5V (–40°C to +125°C) - supports operation across wide input range including deep brownout conditions. |
| Reset Output Types | Dual push-pull: active-low RESET and active-high RESET - eliminates need for external pull-ups or inverters in bidirectional reset interfaces. |
| WDI Input Sensitivity | Detects ≥50ns pulses - allows robust watchdog triggering even with noisy or slow-rising µP I/O signals. |
| ICC (VCC = +3.6V) | 7–25µA (–40°C to +125°C) - enables ultra-low-power supervision in battery-backed portable instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5 (U5-1 outline), footprint compatible with industry-standard land pattern 21-0057. RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free version ordered as MAX6824SUK+T.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET (active-low) | Push-pull output asserted low during VCC undervoltage, watchdog timeout, or MR event - directly drives µP reset pin without pull-up. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 | WDI | Watchdog input accepting CMOS-level edges; toggling within 1.6s prevents reset - left unconnected to disable watchdog function. |
| 4 | RESET (active-high) | Push-pull output asserted high during fault conditions - provides complementary signal for logic-level monitoring or status LEDs. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply input and monitored voltage source - powers internal circuitry and feeds threshold detector; operates down to +1.0V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual push-pull reset outputs | Eliminates external pull-up resistors and level-shifters - simplifies interface to µPs with bidirectional or active-high reset pins. |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout - critical for data integrity in portable/battery-powered equipment. |
| No external components required | Reduces BOM count and PCB area - integrates voltage detection, timing, and drive capability in single 5-pin SOT23 device. |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs, 100mV VCC glitches without false reset - improves reliability in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| 1.6s watchdog timeout with 50ns pulse detection | Enables precise firmware execution monitoring - detects stuck loops even with minimal µP I/O toggle overhead. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6822SUK-T | Same 3.08V threshold and 5-pin SOT23, but features open-drain RESET (not push-pull) and includes MR input - no active-high RESET output. | Suitable where bidirectional µP reset pins require open-drain interface and manual reset is needed - not compatible for dual-push-pull signal routing. | Select MAX6822SUK-T only if system requires MR functionality and can accommodate external pull-up on RESET; MAX6824SUK-T is superior when dual native-level reset signals are needed. |
| MAX6316LUK-T | Single push-pull RESET, 3.08V threshold, no watchdog or WDI - lower ICC (1.5µA), wider temp range (–40°C to +125°C), same SOT23-5 package. | Applicable where watchdog is unnecessary and ultra-low power dominates - lacks dual-reset capability and fault-detection redundancy. | Choose MAX6316LUK-T for cost-sensitive, static-firmware applications without runtime supervision needs; MAX6824SUK-T adds watchdog safety for dynamic embedded code. |
Compared with MAX6822SUK-T and MAX6316LUK-T, the MAX6824SUK-T uniquely delivers both active-low and active-high push-pull reset outputs without external components while retaining watchdog supervision - making it optimal for systems requiring fail-safe restart coordination across multiple voltage domains.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6824SUK-T?
The MAX6824SUK-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V ±3% over –40°C to +125°C, corresponding to suffix "T" in the ordering code. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH for MAX682_T, with min/typ/max values of 2.97V/3.08V/3.17V at full temperature range - ensuring precise monitoring of +3.3V supply rails.
Does the MAX6824SUK-T include a manual reset input (MR)?
No, the MAX6824SUK-T does not include a manual reset input. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description, MR is present on MAX6821/MAX6822/MAX6823/MAX6825 but explicitly omitted from MAX6824. The MAX6824SUK-T relies solely on VCC monitoring and watchdog timeout for reset generation - confirmed by pin function table showing no MR assignment on pin 3.
What are the key differences between RESET and RESET outputs on the MAX6824SUK-T?
On the MAX6824SUK-T, RESET is an active-low push-pull output that goes low during fault conditions, while RESET is an active-high push-pull output that goes high simultaneously. Both are driven natively - no external components needed. Their complementary logic states simplify interfacing to µPs with either reset polarity requirement, and both remain asserted for the full 140ms reset timeout period.
How is the watchdog timer on the MAX6824SUK-T enabled or disabled?
The watchdog timer on the MAX6824SUK-T is enabled by driving the WDI pin with periodic edges (rising or falling) within the 1.6s timeout window. It is disabled by leaving WDI unconnected - the internal driver then cycles low/high every ~1.4s, preventing timeout. No configuration register or external component is required; behavior is purely hardware-determined by WDI pin state.
Is the MAX6824SUK-T compatible with 1.8V supply systems?
Yes, the MAX6824SUK-T operates with VCC as low as +1.2V over its full temperature range and guarantees valid reset output down to +1.0V. While its 3.08V threshold targets +3.3V rails, the device itself functions correctly in 1.8V systems - for example, as a supervisor for auxiliary 1.8V domains where VCC is derived from a separate LDO, provided the monitored rail matches the 3.08V threshold.
