Product details
Overview
MAX6828ZUT-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 (2.25V to 2.38V threshold) and secondary VCC2 (2.244V to 2.388V at −40°C to +125°C), asserts reset on supply drop or WDI timeout, and maintains reset for ≥140ms. Used in battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6828ZUT-T datasheet, MAX6828ZUT-T pinout, MAX6828ZUT-T application, or MAX6828ZUT-T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing behavior, thermal stability data across −40°C to +125°C, and validated alternative options for dual-supply µP supervision in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6828ZUT-T implements a dual-threshold comparator architecture: one factory-trimmed for VCC2 monitoring (2.313V typ at +25°C), and a second internal reference (0.63V) enabling user-adjustable reset via external resistor divider on RESET IN. Its watchdog timer provides 1.6s nominal timeout with edge-triggered clearing logic.
Reset assertion is synchronized to VCC, VCC2, or RESET IN falling below thresholds, with propagation delays as low as 15µs (RESET IN to RESET) and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.2V over full temperature range. The open-drain RESET output supports bidirectional µP reset pins and requires external pull-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Threshold | 2.25V to 2.38V (−40°C to +85°C); sets primary supply brownout detection point for +2.1V to +2.75V systems |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.244V to 2.388V (−40°C to +125°C); factory-trimmed secondary supply monitor for I/O rails |
| RESET Timeout | 140ms minimum; ensures µP completes power stabilization before release |
| Watchdog Period | 1.12s to 2.60s (−40°C to +125°C); detects firmware hangs with temperature-compensated timing |
| Supply Current | 25µA max at −40°C to +125°C, VCC = +3.6V; enables multi-year battery life in portable devices |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C; qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Package | 6-pin SOT23; 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6828ZUT-T uses a 6-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0058, land pattern 90-0175), RoHS-compliant with lead-free "+T" variant available. Pin 1 is RESET (open-drain active-low), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR (active-low manual reset with 50kΩ internal pullup), Pin 4 is WDI (watchdog input), Pin 5 is VCC2 (factory-trimmed secondary supply monitor), and Pin 6 is VCC (primary supply input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Drives low during fault; requires external pull-up to interface with bidirectional µP reset pins |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Pull to GND to force reset; internal 50kΩ pullup allows NC use; 1µs minimum pulse width |
| 4 - WDI | Watchdog timer input | Edge-sensitive; toggling within 1.6s prevents reset; unconnected disables watchdog |
| 5 - VCC2 | Secondary supply monitor input | Factory-trimmed to 2.313V; connects directly to +2.5V or +2.3V I/O rail for independent monitoring |
| 6 - VCC | Primary supply input | Power source and reference for internal circuitry; also monitored at 2.25V–2.38V threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent supply monitoring | Simultaneously supervises VCC (2.25V–2.38V) and VCC2 (2.244V–2.388V) without external components |
| Open-drain RESET with bidirectional support | Enables direct connection to µPs like Motorola 68HC11 with shared reset I/O, using single pull-up resistor |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures valid reset assertion during deep brownout conditions common in Li-ion battery discharge |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs, 100mV VCC glitches without spurious reset-critical for noisy automotive/industrial rails |
| No external timing components required | Internal RC-based 140ms reset timeout and 1.6s watchdog eliminate capacitors and reduce BOM count |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6829ZUT-T | Push-pull active-low RESET output; same VCC/VCC2 thresholds and watchdog specs | Requires no external pull-up; incompatible with bidirectional µP reset pins | Select when driving standard CMOS reset inputs and board layout prohibits pull-up resistor placement |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V only); no VCC2 monitor; fixed 3.08V threshold; 200ms reset timeout | Lacks secondary supply monitoring and watchdog; suited for simpler single-rail systems | Choose only if system has single 3.3V rail and no requirement for I/O voltage supervision or firmware hang detection |
Compared with MAX6829ZUT-T, MAX6828ZUT-T's open-drain output enables flexible reset bus sharing but requires external pull-up; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds critical VCC2 monitoring and watchdog functionality essential for dual-rail safety-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC2 reset threshold voltage for MAX6828ZUT-T over temperature?
The MAX6828ZUT-T has a factory-trimmed VCC2 reset threshold of 2.244V (min) to 2.388V (max) across −40°C to +125°C, with 2.313V typical at +25°C. This threshold applies specifically to the Z-suffix variant and is guaranteed by production test-not design-only-per Maxim's datasheet revision 3, page 2.
Does MAX6828ZUT-T support manual reset assertion during brownout conditions?
Yes. The MAX6828ZUT-T's MR input remains functional down to VCC = +1.2V, allowing manual reset assertion even during severe brownout. Its internal 50kΩ pullup ensures defined logic state when unused, and a 1µs minimum pulse width guarantees reliable triggering per datasheet section "MANUAL RESET INPUT".
Can MAX6828ZUT-T monitor a 1.8V supply as VCC2?
No. MAX6828ZUT-T's VCC2 pin is factory-trimmed for 2.244V–2.388V and cannot be reconfigured for 1.8V. For 1.8V monitoring, use MAX6828 with adjustable RESET IN pin (0.63V threshold) and external resistor divider-though that configuration sacrifices dedicated VCC2 monitoring capability.
What is the maximum allowable leakage current on WDI for reliable watchdog disable?
When WDI is left unconnected or three-stated, MAX6828ZUT-T requires ≤10µA leakage current and ≤200pF load capacitance to ensure reliable watchdog disable. Exceeding these values may cause unintended watchdog timeouts due to insufficient internal driver strength, as specified in the "Watchdog Input" section of the datasheet.
How does MAX6828ZUT-T handle negative VCC transients?
MAX6828ZUT-T is immune to negative VCC transients ≤20µs duration when amplitude is ≤100mV below threshold (per Figure MAX6826 toc06). This immunity prevents false resets during switching noise or ESD events, making it suitable for electrically harsh environments like automotive body control modules.
