Product details
Overview
MAX6825RUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in 5-pin SOT23 package, combining voltage monitoring (3.08V threshold), manual reset input, and watchdog timer functionality. It asserts active-low and active-high push-pull RESET outputs during VCC brownout, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout, with guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.0V. Used in portable/battery-powered equipment and embedded controllers for reliable power-on reset and fault recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6825RUK+T datasheet, MAX6825RUK+T pinout, MAX6825RUK+T application, or MAX6825RUK+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in Maxim's official electrical characteristics and functional descriptions for the MAX6825 variant.
Technical Context
The MAX6825RUK+T implements dual-reset architecture: one active-low push-pull RESET and one active-high push-pull RESET, both asserted simultaneously during VCC drop below 3.08V, manual reset trigger, or watchdog timeout. Its watchdog timer has a nominal 1.6s timeout period and clears on any WDI edge, supporting robust software execution monitoring.
It features internal 50kΩ MR pullup, glitch rejection of 100ns, and MR-to-reset delay of 200ns. Reset timeout is guaranteed ≥140ms over –40°C to +125°C, and device operates with supply current as low as 5µA (typ) at +3.6V and –40°C to +85°C - enabling ultra-low-power battery operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±3% (R suffix); ensures reliable detection of 3.3V supply brownout before µP malfunction |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms min (–40°C to +85°C); guarantees sufficient hold time for full µP initialization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s nominal (–40°C to +85°C); provides adequate window to detect firmware hangs in embedded systems |
| VCC Operating Range | +1.2V to +5.5V (–40°C to +125°C); supports wide-input legacy and low-voltage modern µPs |
| RESET Output Type | Dual push-pull: active-low RESET and active-high RESET; eliminates external pull resistors and enables bidirectional reset control |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup; allows direct switch-to-GND connection without external components |
| Supply Current | 12µA typ at +3.6V (–40°C to +85°C); enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5 (U5-1 outline), footprint compatible with industry-standard 0.95mm pitch land pattern (91-0174). RoHS-compliant lead-free packaging indicated by "+T" suffix.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET (active-low) | Push-pull output asserted low during fault; drives µP reset pin directly without pullup |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and I/O; must be low-impedance |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup; debounced internally, no external RC needed |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; toggling within 1.6s prevents reset; left unconnected disables watchdog |
| 5 | VCC | Supply and monitored voltage input; powers circuitry and sets reset threshold reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual push-pull RESET outputs | Enables simultaneous active-low and active-high reset signaling to mixed-logic systems without level-shifting or external drivers |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout or battery depletion, critical for data integrity in portable instruments |
| No external components required | Integrates MR pullup, watchdog timing, and voltage reference - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
| 100ns MR glitch rejection | Rejects EMI-induced noise on manual reset line, preventing spurious system resets in noisy industrial environments |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs, 100mV VCC glitches without false triggering - avoids unnecessary resets during switching noise events |
Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Embedded Controllers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Handheld test meters and wireless sensor nodes operating from single-cell Li-ion or alkaline batteries. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3V system rail and provides fail-safe reset during battery voltage sag or cold-start conditions. Use Value: Dual RESET outputs interface directly with µP and peripheral logic; 5µA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 5 years in sleep mode. |
Use Scenario: Industrial PLC modules requiring deterministic boot sequencing and runtime watchdog supervision. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3V FPGA configuration supply and asserts synchronized reset to CPU and FPGA upon undervoltage or software hang. Use Value: 140ms minimum reset timeout meets ARM Cortex-M boot requirements; MR input enables field-service reset via front-panel button. |
| Intelligent Instruments | Critical µP Monitoring |
Use Scenario: Digital multimeters and oscilloscope front-ends where firmware corruption must trigger immediate hardware reset. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides independent watchdog supervision of measurement engine µP, decoupled from main application processor. Use Value: WDI edge-triggered clearing prevents stuck-loop evasion; 1.6s timeout balances responsiveness and noise immunity. |
Use Scenario: Medical diagnostic devices where µP failure could compromise patient safety and requires certified fail-safe response. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary supervisory IC enforcing IEC 62304 Class C reset behavior: detects VCC faults, MR commands, and software stalls with dual-redundant RESET signaling. Use Value: Guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = +1.0V ensures reset occurs even during catastrophic power collapse, meeting safety-critical timing constraints. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6823RUK+T | Same 3.08V threshold, manual reset, and watchdog; but provides only active-low push-pull RESET (no active-high output) | Lacks dual-reset capability; requires external inverter or logic to generate active-high signal | Select when system needs only one reset polarity and board space is constrained |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | 3.0V threshold, 200ms reset timeout, open-drain RESET; no manual reset input or watchdog timer | Supports basic voltage monitoring only; cannot replace MAX6825RUK+T in watchdog or dual-reset applications | Choose only for simple power-good monitoring where MR and watchdog functions are handled elsewhere |
Compared with MAX6825RUK+T, MAX6823RUK+T omits the active-high RESET output - limiting flexibility in mixed-logic systems - while TPS3808G30DBVR lacks both manual reset and watchdog, making it unsuitable for autonomous fault recovery in portable or embedded controllers.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX6825RUK+T?
The MAX6825RUK+T has a factory-programmed reset threshold of 3.08V (±3%), corresponding to the "R" 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 brownout on 3.3V supply rails. The threshold hysteresis is 2×VTH (≈6.16mV), preventing oscillation near the trip point.
Does MAX6825RUK+T include a watchdog timer?
Yes, MAX6825RUK+T includes a watchdog timer with a nominal timeout period of 1.6 seconds at +25°C, ranging from 0.80s to 2.60s over –40°C to +125°C. The timer clears on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and remains disabled if WDI is left unconnected or three-stated - providing flexible enablement in diverse firmware architectures.
What are the RESET output configurations supported by MAX6825RUK+T?
MAX6825RUK+T provides two independent push-pull RESET outputs: an active-low RESET and an active-high RESET. Both assert simultaneously during VCC undervoltage, MR activation, or watchdog timeout. Neither requires external pull resistors, simplifying interface with µPs that accept either polarity or require concurrent reset signaling to multiple subsystems.
Can MAX6825RUK+T operate with supply voltages below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6825RUK+T is fully specified to operate with VCC as low as +1.2V over –40°C to +125°C, and its RESET outputs remain valid down to +1.0V. This enables use in ultra-low-voltage applications such as energy-harvesting sensors or deeply discharged battery scenarios where other supervisors would fail to assert reset reliably.
Is manual reset functionality available on MAX6825RUK+T?
Yes, MAX6825RUK+T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC. A logic-low pulse ≥1µs on MR forces reset assertion for the full timeout period (≥140ms), and the input rejects glitches <100ns. Leaving MR unconnected or tied to VCC disables manual reset, requiring no external components.
