Product details
Overview
MAX6828SUT+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-voltage dual microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 6-pin SOT23 package, designed to monitor primary supply (VCC) at 3.08V ±3% and secondary supply (VCC2) at 2.188V ±3%, with open-drain active-low RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and 1.6s watchdog timeout. It ensures reliable power-up/power-down sequencing in battery-powered embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6828SUT+T datasheet, MAX6828SUT+T pinout, MAX6828SUT+T application, or MAX6828SUT+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, precise threshold voltages, reset timing behavior, watchdog interaction logic, and validated alternative options for dual-supply µP monitoring in industrial and portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6828SUT+T integrates two independent voltage comparators-one factory-trimmed for VCC2 at 2.188V (Y-suffix), one preprogrammed for VCC at 3.08V (S-suffix)-with a shared 140ms minimum reset timeout delay and 1.6s watchdog timer. Its open-drain RESET output enables bidirectional reset pin interfacing (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) via external pullup.
It features guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = +1.2V over full temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), immunity to negative VCC transients ≤20µs at 100mV overdrive, and no external components required. MR includes internal 50kΩ pullup; WDI accepts CMOS-level edges and disables watchdog when floating or three-stated.

Use Scenario: Automotive body control module where µP must restart within 200ms of supply recovery after load dump. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.08V main MCU supply and 2.188V CAN transceiver supply; asserts RESET until both exceed thresholds +140ms timeout. Use Value: Meets ISO 16750-2 cold-cranking voltage dip requirements; -40°C to +125°C rating ensures reliability under hood conditions. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6828SUT-T | Same functionality and pinout, but leaded (SnPb) packaging instead of lead-free (+T) | Requires Pb-containing solder process; not compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU | Select only for legacy manufacturing lines certified for SnPb assembly |
| MAX6831SUT+T | Identical package and pinout; differs in VCC2 threshold (1.575V V-suffix vs. 2.188V Y-suffix) and includes factory-trimmed VCC2 monitor | Suitable for systems with lower secondary supply (e.g., 1.5V core rails); same open-drain RESET and watchdog behavior | Choose when secondary supply is 1.5V instead of 2.2V; verify VCC2 threshold match before substitution |
Compared with MAX6828SUT+T, MAX6828SUT-T offers identical electrical performance but requires Pb-based reflow, while MAX6831SUT+T maintains pin compatibility but shifts VCC2 monitoring to 1.575V-making it suitable only for lower-voltage secondary rails without redesigning the power architecture.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6828SUT+T?
The MAX6828SUT+T has a VCC reset threshold of 3.08V, with ±3% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is fixed by the "S" suffix in the part number and is factory-trimmed-not user-adjustable. The threshold remains stable with a temperature coefficient of 60ppm/°C, ensuring consistent brownout detection across environmental conditions. MAX6828SUT+T guarantees reset assertion when VCC falls below this level and holds RESET active for ≥140ms after recovery.
Does MAX6828SUT+T support monitoring a secondary supply below 2.0V?
No-MAX6828SUT+T is configured with the "Y" suffix for VCC2, setting its secondary supply threshold at 2.188V ±3%. It does not support sub-2.0V secondary monitoring. For lower VCC2 rails (e.g., 1.5V), the MAX6831SUT+T (V-suffix, 1.575V) or MAX6826/MAX6827 variants with user-adjustable RESET IN would be required. MAX6828SUT+T's VCC2 pin is factory-trimmed and lacks external resistor-divider capability, so threshold adjustment is not possible.
Can MAX6828SUT+T's RESET output drive a microcontroller with bidirectional reset I/O?
Yes-MAX6828SUT+T features an open-drain active-low RESET output, explicitly designed for interfacing with bidirectional reset pins like those on the Motorola 68HC11. A single external pullup resistor (typically 4.7kΩ to VCC) enables shared reset bus operation. When MAX6828SUT+T asserts RESET, it pulls the line low; when deasserted, the external pullup returns it high-allowing the µP to also drive the line during normal operation without contention. This eliminates level-shifting or isolation circuitry.
What is the watchdog timeout period for MAX6828SUT+T, and how is it cleared?
The MAX6828SUT+T watchdog timeout period is 1.6s nominal, with a specified range of 1.12s to 2.4s over –40°C to +85°C. It is cleared by any rising or falling edge on the WDI pin-or automatically by assertion of RESET or MR. If WDI remains static (high or low) beyond this interval, the watchdog triggers a reset pulse lasting ≥140ms. The internal timer stops counting while RESET is asserted and resumes only after RESET deasserts, preventing spurious timeouts during active reset states. MAX6828SUT+T requires no external capacitor or resistor to configure this function.
Is MAX6828SUT+T compatible with 1.8V-only systems?
MAX6828SUT+T supports VCC down to +1.2V, making it compatible with 1.8V systems-but only if the primary monitored rail is 3.08V (its fixed VCC threshold). It cannot supervise a 1.8V VCC rail directly. However, its VCC2 input can monitor a secondary 2.188V rail (e.g., 2.2V LDO output), and its ultra-low 7µA supply current at 3.6V enables use in 1.8V-domain systems where VCC is derived from a higher intermediate rail. For true 1.8V VCC supervision, the MAX6827SUT+T (R-suffix, 2.63V) or MAX6826 variants with adjustable RESET IN would be more appropriate. MAX6828SUT+T itself requires VCC ≥1.2V to operate.
