Product details
Overview
MAX6828TUT+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-voltage dual-supply microprocessor supervisory IC with open-drain active-low RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer (WDI). It monitors primary VCC (3.08V threshold) and user-adjustable secondary voltage via RESET IN (0.63V internal reference), asserts reset on supply brownout or watchdog timeout, and guarantees valid reset operation down to VCC = +1.2V over –40°C to +125°C. Used in portable battery-powered systems requiring reliable power-on reset and fail-safe recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6828TUT+T datasheet, MAX6828TUT+T pinout, MAX6828TUT+T application, or MAX6828TUT+T equivalent, this page delivers verified circuit role, exact reset thresholds, open-drain drive capability, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and confirmed SOT23-6 package compatibility - all critical for embedded µP reset integrity validation and multivoltage system design.
Technical Context
The MAX6828TUT+T implements a dual-threshold supervision architecture: one factory-trimmed VCC monitor (3.08V nominal at –40°C to +85°C) and one high-impedance RESET IN input referenced to 0.63V, enabling external resistor-divider configuration for secondary supply monitoring down to 0.6V. Its open-drain RESET output supports bidirectional µP reset pins and requires an external pullup.
It integrates a 1.6s nominal watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions, a 50kΩ internal MR pullup, and immunity to VCC transients ≤20µs at 100mV overdrive. Reset assertion is guaranteed for VCC ≥ +1.2V across full temperature range, with propagation delays under 25µs and hysteresis of 2×VTH mV.

| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; edge-sensitive (rising/falling); clears 1.6s timer; disabled if left floating or three-stated |
| 5 | RESET IN | User-adjustable reset monitor input; 0.63V internal reference; high-impedance (±100nA leakage) |
| 6 | VCC | Primary supply input; powers internal circuitry and references RESET IN; operates from +1.2V to +5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Factory-trimmed VCC threshold (3.08V) + user-configurable RESET IN (0.63V reference) - supports primary/secondary rail supervision without external components |
| Open-drain RESET with bidirectional compatibility | Enables direct connection to µPs like Motorola 68HC11 with shared reset buses and external pullup flexibility - eliminates level-shifting requirements |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout conditions - critical for low-voltage SoC and battery-depleted operation |
| 140ms minimum reset timeout | Provides sufficient hold time for slow-starting µPs and peripheral initialization - prevents premature code execution |
| Watchdog timer with edge-triggered clear | 1.6s nominal timeout cleared by any WDI transition - detects software hangs without requiring precise pulse timing or polarity |
| No external components required | Integrates pullup on MR, precision voltage references, delay timers, and comparators - reduces BOM count and board area vs. discrete solutions |

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6828TUT+T?
The MAX6828TUT+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 3.08V (nominal), with guaranteed limits of 2.97V (min) to 3.17V (max) over the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value is defined by the "T" suffix in the part number and is validated per Maxim's Electrical Characteristics table.
Does MAX6828TUT+T support monitoring a secondary voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX6828TUT+T supports secondary voltage monitoring via its RESET IN pin, which features a precise 0.63V (typical) internal reference. To monitor a higher voltage, connect an external resistor divider between the target rail and GND, with the midpoint fed to RESET IN. The trip point is calculated as VMONITOR = 0.63V × (R1 + R2)/R2.
What type of RESET output does MAX6828TUT+T provide, and what are its drive capabilities?
MAX6828TUT+T provides an active-low open-drain RESET output. It can sink up to 50µA at VCC ≥ 1.0V, 100µA at VCC ≥ 1.2V, 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.55V, and 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.25V, with VOL ≤ 0.3V under those conditions. An external pullup resistor is required for proper logic-level translation.
How does the watchdog timer in MAX6828TUT+T operate, and what is its timeout period?
The MAX6828TUT+T watchdog timer has a nominal timeout of 1.6s, varying from 0.8s (min) to 2.6s (max) across –40°C to +125°C. It is cleared by any rising or falling edge on the WDI pin. If WDI remains static beyond timeout, RESET asserts for the full reset timeout period (140ms min). Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog.
Is MAX6828TUT+T compatible with systems requiring operation down to very low VCC voltages?
Yes, MAX6828TUT+T is guaranteed to assert a valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V over the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. Its internal circuitry remains functional and deterministic at this level, ensuring reliable brownout detection even during severe supply droop.
