Product details
Overview
MAX6828RUT-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 input (MR), watchdog timer (1.6s nominal timeout), and user-adjustable RESET IN threshold (0.63V typical). It monitors primary supply VCC (3.08V threshold, R-suffix) and secondary supply VCC2 (2.63V threshold, R-suffix), with guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.2V across –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6828RUT-T datasheet, MAX6828RUT-T pinout, MAX6828RUT-T application, or MAX6828RUT-T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact reset thresholds, watchdog timing, open-drain drive capability, temperature-rated performance, and real-world substitution guidance - all confirmed against Maxim's official 19-1867 Rev 3 datasheet.
Technical Context
The MAX6828RUT-T implements dual independent voltage monitoring: a factory-trimmed VCC2 monitor (2.63V ±30mV over –40°C to +125°C) and a primary VCC monitor (3.08V ±30mV) with hysteresis of 2×VTH. Its open-drain RESET output supports bidirectional µP reset pins and requires external pull-up; internal 50kΩ MR pull-up enables momentary-switch reset without external components.
It integrates a 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions (≥50ns pulse width), with automatic disable when WDI is unconnected or three-stated. The RESET IN pin provides a high-impedance 0.63V reference for resistor-divider-based monitoring of voltages ≥0.63V, with leakage <±100nA over full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 3.08V (R-suffix), ±30mV over –40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for primary supply |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 2.63V (R-suffix), ±30mV over –40°C to +125°C - factory-trimmed secondary supply monitor, no external components needed |
| RESET Timeout Period | 140ms minimum, 320ms maximum over –40°C to +125°C - ensures sufficient µP initialization time after recovery |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s nominal, 0.8s–2.6s over –40°C to +125°C - provides robust software execution monitoring with wide temp stability |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - enables direct interface to bidirectional µP reset I/O (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) with single pull-up |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.2V to +5.5V on VCC - guarantees valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| RESET IN Threshold | 0.63V typical, ±5mV over 0°C to +85°C - enables user-defined secondary voltage monitoring via resistor divider |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6+1 outline, land pattern 90-0175), RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; requires external pull-up; asserts low during VCC/VCC2 undervoltage, MR low, or WDI timeout |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and logic |
| 3 | MR | Manual-reset input, active-low, internally pulled up to VCC (50kΩ); reset remains active for full timeout after MR release |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; toggling within 1.6s clears internal timer; left unconnected disables watchdog function |
| 5 | RESET IN | User-adjustable reset input; high-impedance comparator input referenced to 0.63V; used with external resistor divider |
| 6 | VCC | Primary supply input; powers internal circuitry and defines VCC reset threshold (3.08V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of primary VCC (3.08V) and secondary VCC2 (2.63V) with separate thresholds and hysteresis |
| Open-drain RESET with bidirectional compatibility | Direct interface to µPs with shared reset I/O (e.g., 68HC11) using one external pull-up resistor - no level-shifting required |
| Factory-trimmed VCC2 monitor | VCC2 pin accepts 2.63V supply directly; eliminates need for external resistor divider or trimming components |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V | Valid reset assertion maintained across full industrial temperature range, enabling use in ultra-low-power brownout scenarios |
| No external components required | Internal MR pull-up (50kΩ), precision voltage references, and watchdog oscillator eliminate discrete BOM items |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6828RUT+ | Identical electrical specs and pinout; lead-free packaging (replaces "-T" with "+T" per ordering guide) | Same functionality; required where RoHS compliance is mandated in final assembly | Select MAX6828RUT+ when lead-free soldering process or regulatory compliance (e.g., EU RoHS) applies. |
| MAX6831RUT-T | Same package and pinout; differs in RESET output type (open-drain) and VCC2 threshold (2.63V), but adds factory-trimmed VCC2 monitor (vs. MAX6828's RESET IN) | MAX6831 replaces adjustable RESET IN with fixed VCC2 monitor - simplifies design when secondary rail is stable 2.63V | Choose MAX6831RUT-T if secondary supply is fixed at 2.63V and no user-adjustable monitoring is needed. |
Compared with MAX6828RUT-T, MAX6828RUT+ offers identical supervision functionality in lead-free packaging, while MAX6831RUT-T trades the flexible RESET IN input for a dedicated, factory-calibrated VCC2 monitor - reducing external component count where secondary voltage is fixed and known.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6828RUT-T?
The MAX6828RUT-T has a VCC reset threshold of 3.08V (R-suffix), with tolerance of ±30mV over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of Maxim's 19-1867 Rev 3 datasheet under "VCC Reset Threshold" for MAX68__R devices.
Does MAX6828RUT-T support monitoring a secondary voltage below 2.63V?
No - the MAX6828RUT-T does not include a factory-trimmed VCC2 monitor like the MAX6829/MAX6830/MAX6831 series. Instead, it provides a RESET IN pin with 0.63V internal reference, enabling user-adjustable monitoring of voltages ≥0.63V via external resistor divider. For fixed sub-2.63V monitoring, MAX6828RUT-T requires external circuitry.
What is the watchdog timeout period for MAX6828RUT-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6828RUT-T features a nominal watchdog timeout period of 1.6s, with a guaranteed range of 0.80s to 2.60s over –40°C to +125°C. This variation is documented in the "Watchdog Timeout Period" parameter (tWD) of the datasheet and reflects intentional design margin for process and temperature drift.
Can MAX6828RUT-T be used with microcontrollers that have bidirectional reset pins?
Yes - the MAX6828RUT-T's open-drain RESET output is explicitly designed for interfacing with bidirectional µP reset I/O, such as the Motorola 68HC11. As stated in the Applications Information section, connecting the MAX6828RUT-T RESET pin directly to the µP's reset pin with a single external pull-up resistor enables full bidirectional control without additional logic or level shifters.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6828RUT-T guarantees valid RESET output operation?
The MAX6828RUT-T guarantees valid RESET output operation down to VCC = +1.2V over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This ensures reliable brownout detection and reset assertion even during severe supply droop conditions.
