Product details
Overview
MAX6827MUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in 6-pin SOT23 package, monitoring primary VCC (3.08V threshold) and secondary VCC2 (2.313V threshold), with push-pull active-high RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and 1.6s watchdog timer - used in portable battery-powered equipment for reliable power-up/brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6827MUT+T datasheet, MAX6827MUT+T pinout, MAX6827MUT+T application, or MAX6827MUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.2V, 140ms minimum reset timeout, immunity to negative VCC transients ≤20µs, and factory-trimmed dual-threshold supervision without external components.
Technical Context
The MAX6827MUT+T implements dual independent voltage monitoring: VCC monitored at 3.08V (±3% over –40°C to +125°C), and VCC2 at 2.313V (±3% over same range), both feeding an OR logic gate that triggers reset assertion. Its internal watchdog timer clears on any WDI edge and times out after 1.6s (min 1.12s, max 2.4s over temperature) if no transition occurs.
Reset assertion is synchronized to VCC, MR, or WDI events; the push-pull RESET output drives high during reset (active-high), maintains state for ≥140ms after all conditions clear, and guarantees valid logic levels down to VCC = +1.2V. MR features internal 50kΩ pullup and 100ns glitch rejection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 3.08V (±3% over –40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable brownout detection for 3.3V systems |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 2.313V (±3% over –40°C to +125°C); factory-trimmed to monitor 2.5V I/O rails or 2.3V auxiliary supplies |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum; provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization and memory stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s nominal (1.12–2.4s over temperature); enables robust software execution monitoring in embedded controllers |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-high; eliminates need for external pullup and supports direct interface to µP reset inputs requiring high-asserted reset |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.2V to +5.5V (over –40°C to +125°C); allows operation during deep brownout while maintaining reset integrity |
| Supply Current | 30µA max at –40°C to +125°C (VCC = +3.6V); enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6+1 outline, land pattern 90-0175), RoHS-compliant lead-free, rated for –40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output | Drives high during reset condition; sinks 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 3.15V; no external pullup required |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators, timers, and output stage; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input (active-low) | Internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC; asserts reset when pulled low; 100ns glitch rejection prevents false triggers |
| 4 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive; clears 1.6s timer on rising or falling edge; disabled if left floating or three-stated |
| 5 - VCC2 | Secondary supply monitor input | Factory-trimmed comparator input for fixed 2.313V threshold; connects directly to 2.5V rail or similar |
| 6 - VCC | Primary supply monitor input | Monitors main system supply; determines operating voltage window and powers internal circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC (3.08V) and VCC2 (2.313V) with separate comparators and hysteresis |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior even during severe brownout - critical for automotive and industrial applications |
| No external components required | Eliminates discrete resistors, capacitors, or timing elements; reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs glitches down to 100mV below threshold without spurious reset - improves noise resilience in noisy environments |
| 1.6s watchdog timeout with edge-triggered clear | Enables flexible software supervision: any WDI transition (not just toggles) resets timer, supporting diverse firmware architectures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply microprocessor supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6826MUT+T | Same package and pinout, but features active-low push-pull RESET and user-adjustable RESET IN (0.63V threshold) instead of fixed VCC2 monitor | Suitable when system requires active-low reset signaling or monitoring of custom voltages < 3.08V via resistor divider | Select MAX6826MUT+T only if active-low reset polarity or adjustable secondary threshold is required; not drop-in compatible due to RESET polarity and pin function differences |
| MAX6830MUT+T | Identical VCC/VCC2 thresholds and watchdog, but uses active-high push-pull RESET and adds factory-trimmed VCC2 monitor (2.313V), same as MAX6827MUT+T | Functionally identical supervision capability; differs only in threshold suffix (T vs. S) - MAX6830 has 2.93V VCC threshold, not 3.08V | MAX6830MUT+T is not a functional substitute: its VCC threshold is 2.93V, making it unsuitable for 3.3V systems requiring 3.08V trip point; verify threshold suffix match before substitution |
Compared with MAX6826MUT+T and MAX6830MUT+T, the MAX6827MUT+T uniquely combines 3.08V VCC supervision, 2.313V VCC2 supervision, and active-high push-pull RESET in one 6-pin SOT23 device - enabling compact, low-component-count supervision of standard 3.3V/2.5V dual-rail systems without design compromises.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6827MUT+T and its temperature stability?
The MAX6827MUT+T has a VCC reset threshold of 3.08V, with ±3% tolerance over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. At –40°C to +85°C, the specification is 3.00V (min) to 3.15V (max); at –40°C to +125°C, it tightens to 2.97V (min) to 3.17V (max). The reset threshold temperature coefficient is 60ppm/°C, ensuring predictable drift across temperature.
Does MAX6827MUT+T support active-high or active-low reset output, and what are the drive capabilities?
The MAX6827MUT+T features an active-high push-pull RESET output. When asserted (reset active), it drives high with VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC (tested at ISOURCE = 200µA for VCC ≥ 1.8V). It sources up to 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.75V while maintaining VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC, eliminating need for external pullup resistors in most µP interfaces.
How does the watchdog timer in MAX6827MUT+T operate, and what is its timeout accuracy?
The MAX6827MUT+T watchdog timer has a nominal timeout of 1.6s, with min/max values of 1.12s and 2.4s over –40°C to +85°C, and 0.80s to 2.60s over –40°C to +125°C. It clears on any rising or falling edge at WDI and begins counting only after reset is deasserted. Pulse width sensitivity is 50ns minimum, supporting robust firmware heartbeat detection.
Can MAX6827MUT+T monitor a secondary voltage other than 2.313V, and what is the role of Pin 5?
No - Pin 5 (VCC2) on MAX6827MUT+T is factory-trimmed exclusively for 2.313V threshold monitoring and cannot be adjusted. It is designed to connect directly to a 2.5V rail or similar fixed supply. For user-adjustable secondary monitoring, select MAX6826/MAX6827/MAX6828 variants with RESET IN (Pin 5) and external resistor divider - but note MAX6827MUT+T does not have RESET IN functionality.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6827MUT+T guarantees correct reset output behavior?
The MAX6827MUT+T guarantees correct reset output behavior down to VCC = +1.2V over the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. This ensures deterministic reset assertion and deassertion during deep brownout conditions, unlike many supervisors that fail below 1.8V. The device remains fully functional and meets all electrical specifications at this level.
