Product details
Overview
MAX6827ZUT+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in 6-pin SOT23 package, designed to monitor primary supply (VCC) at 2.25V–2.38V and secondary supply (VCC2) at 2.244V–2.388V across –40°C to +125°C, with push-pull active-high RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and 1.6s watchdog timeout - used in portable battery-powered equipment and multivoltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6827ZUT+ datasheet, MAX6827ZUT+ pinout, MAX6827ZUT+ application, or MAX6827ZUT+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, exact pin functions, real-world use cases for critical µP monitoring, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6827ZUT+ integrates dual independent voltage monitors: one factory-trimmed VCC threshold (2.32V nominal, ±0.068V over temperature) and one factory-trimmed VCC2 threshold (2.313V nominal, ±0.075V over temperature), both guaranteed valid down to VCC = +1.2V. It features an internal 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions and a 140ms minimum reset timeout delay after all monitored voltages recover.
Its push-pull RESET output drives high (VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC) when deasserted and low (VOL ≤ 0.3V) when asserted, supporting direct interface to µP reset inputs without external pullups. MR includes a 50kΩ internal pullup, and WDI accepts CMOS-level signals with 50ns pulse-width detection capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Threshold | 2.25V to 2.38V (min/max over –40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable power-up reset for 2.5V I/O rails with margin. |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.244V to 2.388V (min/max over –40°C to +125°C); factory-trimmed for accurate monitoring of secondary 2.5V or 2.3V supplies. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum; guarantees µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail settling. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s to 2.4s (min/max over –40°C to +85°C); provides robust software execution supervision with temperature-compensated timing. |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-high; eliminates need for external pullup resistor and supports direct connection to µP reset pins requiring high-true assertion. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments without derating. |
| VCC Supply Current | 30µA max at –40°C to +125°C (VCC = +3.6V); enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6+1 outline, land pattern 90-0175), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with 0.95mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; asserts high during fault conditions (VCC/VCC2 undervoltage, MR low, or WDI timeout) and holds for ≥140ms after recovery. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 | MR | Manual reset input, active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC; pulling low forces reset regardless of supply status; debounced internally. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; toggling within 1.6s clears internal timer; left floating or three-stated disables watchdog function. |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input for factory-trimmed 2.313V monitor; connects directly to 2.5V or 2.3V rail being supervised. |
| 6 | VCC | Primary supply input for 2.32V threshold monitor; powers internal circuitry and defines logic levels for MR/WDI/RESET. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises primary (VCC) and secondary (VCC2) rails with separate, factory-trimmed thresholds - no external resistors required. |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout events where VCC drops below typical logic thresholds. |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs, 100mV VCC glitches without false reset - critical for noisy switching power supply environments. |
| No external components required | Integrates pullup on MR, precision references, watchdog timer, and reset delay generator - reduces BOM count and PCB area. |
| 140ms minimum reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for µP reset hold time, ensuring deterministic boot sequence. |

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage range for MAX6827ZUT+ over temperature?
The MAX6827ZUT+ has a VCC reset threshold of 2.25V (min) to 2.38V (max) across –40°C to +125°C, with a nominal value of 2.32V at +25°C. This range is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold (VCC Falling)" for suffix Z. The MAX6827ZUT+ maintains this accuracy without external calibration components.
Does MAX6827ZUT+ support monitoring a secondary supply, and what is its threshold range?
Yes, MAX6827ZUT+ supports secondary supply monitoring via the VCC2 pin with a factory-trimmed threshold of 2.244V (min) to 2.388V (max) over –40°C to +125°C, nominal 2.313V. This is distinct from the adjustable RESET IN feature found in MAX6826/MAX6827/MAX6828 - VCC2 is fixed and optimized for 2.5V or 2.3V rails.
What type of RESET output does MAX6827ZUT+ provide, and how does it interface with a microprocessor?
MAX6827ZUT+ provides a push-pull active-high RESET output. When asserted, RESET goes high (VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC); when deasserted, it goes low (VOL ≤ 0.3V). This allows direct connection to µPs requiring active-high reset signaling - no external pullup resistor is needed, unlike open-drain alternatives such as MAX6828ZUT+ or MAX6831ZUT+.
Can the watchdog timer in MAX6827ZUT+ be disabled, and how?
Yes, the watchdog timer in MAX6827ZUT+ is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected or connecting it to a three-stated buffer output. When WDI is floating, the internal driver cycles low-high-low every ~1.4s, preventing timeout. No configuration register or external command is required - disabling is purely hardware-based and requires no firmware changes.
Is MAX6827ZUT+ qualified for operation at –40°C to +125°C, and what parameters are guaranteed across that range?
Yes, MAX6827ZUT+ is fully specified and guaranteed over –40°C to +125°C. Key parameters guaranteed across this range include VCC and VCC2 reset thresholds, 140ms minimum reset timeout period, 1.12s to 2.4s watchdog timeout, RESET output VOL ≤ 0.3V, and VCC supply current ≤ 30µA at +3.6V - all explicitly listed in the Electrical Characteristics table with temperature columns.
