Product details
Overview
MAX6827LUT+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in 6-pin SOT23 package, designed to monitor primary supply (VCC) and user-adjustable secondary input (RESET IN), with manual reset (MR), watchdog timer (WDI), and push-pull active-high RESET output. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 3.08V (typ), RESET IN drops below 0.63V (typ), MR is pulled low, or WDI times out after 1.6s - maintaining reset for ≥140ms. Used in portable battery-powered equipment and embedded controllers requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6827LUT+ datasheet, MAX6827LUT+ pinout, MAX6827LUT+ application, or MAX6827LUT+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed reset thresholds (VTH = 3.08V, VRSTINTH = 0.63V), guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V, push-pull active-high RESET timing, and validated alternative options for dual-supply µP supervision in industrial and portable systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6827LUT+ implements a dual-threshold monitoring architecture: one factory-trimmed VCC reset comparator (3.08V nominal, ±3% over –40°C to +125°C) and one high-impedance RESET IN comparator (0.63V threshold, ±2.4% over temperature) for user-defined secondary voltage monitoring via resistor divider. Its internal 1.6s watchdog timer clears on any WDI edge and triggers reset if no transition occurs within timeout.
Reset assertion is synchronized across all fault sources (VCC undervoltage, RESET IN undervoltage, MR low, WDI timeout), with propagation delays ≤20µs (VCC→RESET) and ≤15µs (RESET IN→RESET), and a minimum 140ms reset timeout period that holds RESET high after recovery. The push-pull active-high RESET output sources ≥200µA at 0.8×VCC and sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥2.55V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 3.08V (typ), 2.97V to 3.17V (min/max over –40°C to +125°C) - sets primary supply brownout detection point |
| RESET IN Threshold | 0.63V (typ), 0.61V to 0.65V (min/max over –40°C to +125°C) - enables monitoring of secondary voltages down to 0.6V via external divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min), 200ms (typ), 280ms (max) - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power recovery |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (typ), 1.12s to 2.4s (min/max over –40°C to +85°C) - provides software execution supervision with configurable clearing on WDI edges |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 7µA (typ at +25°C, VCC = +3.6V), ≤25µA (max over –40°C to +125°C) - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-critical systems |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.2V to +5.5V (VCC, –40°C to +125°C) - guarantees valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-high - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and supports direct interface to µP reset inputs requiring high-assertion |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6+1, outline 21-0058), lead-free, –40°C to +125°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output | Drives high during normal operation; pulls low only during reset assertion - compatible with µPs requiring active-high reset initiation |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timer, and output stage; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input (active-low) | Internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC; pulling low forces immediate reset and holds it for full timeout period after release |
| 4 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; rising or falling edge resets 1.6s watchdog timer - left unconnected to disable watchdog function |
| 5 - RESET IN | User-adjustable secondary monitor input | High-impedance (≤100nA leakage) comparator input with 0.63V threshold - connects to resistor divider for custom voltage monitoring |
| 6 - VCC | Primary supply input | Power source for internal circuitry and reference; also supplies bias to RESET IN pin - must remain >0.63V for RESET IN functionality |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises primary VCC (3.08V threshold) and user-defined secondary voltage (via 0.63V RESET IN pin), enabling multivoltage system reliability |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures correct reset state during severe brownout - critical for fail-safe operation in battery-powered devices nearing end-of-life |
| 1.6s programmable watchdog timer | Clears on any WDI edge (≥50ns pulse); prevents runaway code without requiring precise software timing or dedicated timer peripherals |
| No external components required | Integrates precision references, comparators, delay generator, and push-pull driver - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete solutions |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs negative glitches up to 100mV below threshold without spurious reset - improves noise robustness in electrically noisy environments |

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6827LUT+?
The MAX6827LUT+ has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 3.08V (typical), with guaranteed limits of 2.97V (minimum) to 3.17V (maximum) over the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value corresponds to the "T" suffix in the MAX6827 naming convention and is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does MAX6827LUT+ support monitoring a 1.2V supply as the secondary voltage?
Yes, the MAX6827LUT+ supports monitoring a 1.2V supply using its RESET IN pin. Since the internal threshold is 0.63V (typ), a simple resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 90.9kΩ, R2 = 100kΩ) scales 1.2V down to ~0.63V at the pin. The device's high-impedance input (≤100nA leakage) ensures minimal loading, preserving accuracy across temperature.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of MAX6827LUT+ and how is it cleared?
The MAX6827LUT+ features a nominal 1.6s watchdog timeout (1.12s to 2.4s over –40°C to +85°C). It is cleared on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin - including pulses as short as 50ns. If WDI is left unconnected, the internal driver disables the watchdog by periodically toggling, making explicit clearing unnecessary in static applications.
Can MAX6827LUT+ operate reliably when VCC drops to 1.5V?
Yes, the MAX6827LUT+ is fully specified to operate down to VCC = +1.2V over –40°C to +125°C, with guaranteed reset assertion validity. At 1.5V, all functions - including VCC monitoring, RESET IN comparison, MR response, and push-pull RESET output drive - remain functional per datasheet limits, making it suitable for deep brownout scenarios in low-voltage systems.
Is MAX6827LUT+ pin-compatible with MAX6826LUT+ or MAX6828LUT+?
No, MAX6827LUT+ is not pin-compatible with MAX6826LUT+ or MAX6828LUT+ in terms of reset polarity or secondary monitoring function. While all share the same 6-pin SOT23 footprint and pin assignments, MAX6826LUT+ outputs active-low RESET, MAX6828LUT+ uses open-drain RESET, and MAX6827LUT+ provides active-high push-pull - requiring different µP interface logic and PCB routing.
