Product details
Overview
MAX6828LUT-T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-voltage dual-supply microprocessor supervisory IC in SOT23-6 package, featuring open-drain active-low RESET output, manual reset (MR) input, watchdog timer (WDI), and user-adjustable RESET IN threshold (0.63V typ). It monitors primary supply VCC (3.08V threshold, T-suffix) and secondary supply via RESET IN down to +0.6V, with 140ms min reset timeout and guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V. Used in portable battery-powered equipment and multivoltage embedded systems for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6828LUT-T datasheet, MAX6828LUT-T pinout, MAX6828LUT-T application, or MAX6828LUT-T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing behavior (140ms reset timeout, 1.6s watchdog period), true operating limits (VCC down to +1.2V, RESET IN threshold 0.63V), and validated alternative parts for dual-supply µP supervision in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6828LUT-T implements a dual-threshold supervision architecture: one factory-trimmed VCC reset comparator (3.08V ±3%, T-suffix) and one high-impedance RESET IN input with internal 0.63V reference, enabling user-defined secondary voltage monitoring via external resistor divider. Its open-drain RESET output supports bidirectional µP reset pins and shared bus pull-up configurations.
It integrates a 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions, a 50kΩ internal MR pullup, and immunity to negative VCC transients ≤20µs at 100mV overdrive. Reset assertion is triggered by VCC falling below threshold, MR low, or WDI timeout - all holding RESET low for ≥140ms after recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 3.08V (T-suffix), ±3% over -40°C to +125°C - sets primary supply brownout detection point for 3.3V systems |
| RESET IN Threshold | 0.63V (typ), ±5mV hysteresis - enables precise secondary voltage monitoring (e.g., 1.8V core via 2.86:1 divider) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min), 320ms (max) over temperature - ensures µP completes power stabilization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (nominal), 0.8–2.6s over -40°C to +125°C - provides software execution monitoring with thermal margin |
| Operating Voltage Range | VCC = +1.2V to +5.5V - guarantees valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Supply Current | 25µA (max) at VCC = +3.6V, -40°C to +125°C - enables multi-year battery life in portable applications |
| Package | SOT23-6, 2.9mm × 1.6mm - fits high-density PCB layouts without requiring board area for discrete supervision |
Pinout & Package
MAX6828LUT-T uses a 6-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0058, land pattern 90-0175), lead-free with "+T" ordering suffix. Pin 1 is marked with dot; device orientation matches standard SOT23 top view.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - requires external pull-up; interfaces directly with bidirectional µP reset I/O (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and logic - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Manual-reset input, active-low, 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC - momentary GND switch asserts reset for ≥140ms after release |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - toggling within 1.6s clears internal timer; unconnected or three-stated disables watchdog function |
| 5 | RESET IN | User-adjustable reset monitor input - 0.63V internal reference enables secondary voltage monitoring (e.g., 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V) via resistor divider |
| 6 | VCC | Primary supply input - powers internal circuitry and defines VCC reset threshold (3.08V); also supplies RESET IN reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Open-drain RESET output | Enables direct interface with bidirectional µP reset pins and shared reset buses using single pull-up resistor |
| User-adjustable RESET IN | 0.63V internal reference allows monitoring of secondary voltages as low as +0.6V via external resistor divider |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures valid reset assertion during severe brownout - no external undervoltage lockout required |
| 1.6s watchdog timer with edge-triggered clear | Detects software hangs without requiring periodic pulse generation; tolerates WDI glitches ≥50ns |
| No external components required | Integrates pullup on MR, reference on RESET IN, and timing elements - eliminates BOM cost and layout area |
Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Embedded Controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply µP supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6827LUT-T | Push-pull active-high RESET output instead of open-drain; identical VCC threshold (3.08V), RESET IN, MR, WDI | Requires level-shifting or µP with active-high reset input; not compatible with bidirectional reset pins | Select when µP reset pin is dedicated active-high input and board lacks pull-up resistor space |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.0V threshold), no RESET IN or watchdog; 200ms fixed timeout; SOT23-6 | Lacks secondary voltage monitoring and software watchdog - suitable only for basic VCC-only supervision | Choose only if design requires minimal feature set and lower cost, with no need for dual-rail or watchdog functionality |
Compared with MAX6827LUT-T, MAX6828LUT-T's open-drain output enables flexible reset bus sharing and bidirectional µP compatibility, while TPS3808G30DBVR offers lower cost but sacrifices critical dual-monitoring and watchdog capabilities essential for robust embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6828LUT-T?
The MAX6828LUT-T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 3.08V, with tolerance of ±3% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold (VTH)" for the "T" suffix, and applies to primary supply monitoring in 3.3V systems. The MAX6828LUT-T does not monitor a second VCC2 rail - it uses the RESET IN pin for secondary voltage supervision.
Does MAX6828LUT-T support monitoring a secondary voltage like 1.8V or 1.2V?
Yes, MAX6828LUT-T supports secondary voltage monitoring via its RESET IN pin, which features a precise 0.63V (typ) internal reference. By connecting an external resistor divider from the target rail (e.g., 1.8V or 1.2V) to RESET IN, the device triggers reset when that rail falls below the derived threshold. For example, a 1.8V rail monitored with a 2.86:1 divider trips at exactly 1.8V. The MAX6828LUT-T does not include a dedicated VCC2 pin - this function is implemented exclusively through RESET IN.
What is the function of the RESET pin on MAX6828LUT-T, and how should it be connected?
The RESET pin on MAX6828LUT-T is an active-low open-drain output. It must be pulled up externally (typically 10kΩ to VCC or another logic rail) to generate a valid high-level signal. This configuration allows direct connection to µPs with bidirectional reset I/O (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) and enables multiple supervisors to share a common reset bus. During reset assertion, the pin pulls low; otherwise, it floats high via the external pull-up. No internal pull-up exists on this pin.
How does the watchdog timer in MAX6828LUT-T operate, and what is its timeout period?
The MAX6828LUT-T watchdog timer has a nominal timeout period of 1.6 seconds, varying from 0.8s to 2.6s across -40°C to +125°C. It is cleared by any rising or falling edge on the WDI pin. If WDI remains static beyond the timeout, RESET asserts for ≥140ms. The timer is also cleared automatically during manual reset or power-on reset. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog, as internal circuitry toggles it every ~1.4s - a behavior confirmed in the datasheet's Watchdog Input section.
Can MAX6828LUT-T operate reliably at very low VCC levels, such as during battery depletion?
Yes, MAX6828LUT-T is guaranteed to assert a valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V over the full temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), with operation functional as low as +1.0V (per Absolute Maximum Ratings). This ensures robust brownout detection even during deep battery discharge in portable systems. Unlike push-pull variants, the open-drain RESET output remains functional without sourcing current - critical when VCC drops near logic threshold levels.
