Product details
Overview
MAX6829TIUT+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-6 package, monitoring primary supply (VCC) and factory-trimmed secondary supply (VCC2) down to +0.9V, with manual reset input, 1.6s watchdog timeout, and 140ms minimum reset timeout delay. It asserts active-low open-drain RESET during brownout, power-up, or watchdog timeout in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6829TIUT+ datasheet, MAX6829TIUT+ pinout, MAX6829TIUT+ application, or MAX6829TIUT+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated pin functions, confirmed dual-supply monitoring capability, and real-world design implications for multivoltage embedded controllers and critical µP monitoring applications.
Technical Context
The MAX6829TIUT+ integrates two independent voltage monitors: one for VCC (programmable threshold from 1.05V to 4.78V per suffix), and a factory-trimmed comparator for VCC2 (0.788V–2.388V depending on suffix). Its internal 1.6s watchdog timer clears on WDI edge transitions and triggers reset if no activity occurs within timeout.
Reset assertion is controlled by OR logic across VCC undervoltage, VCC2 undervoltage, MR low, or watchdog timeout; reset remains asserted for ≥140ms after all conditions clear. The open-drain RESET output supports bidirectional µP reset pins and requires external pullup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Monitoring Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - guarantees valid reset operation even as primary supply drops to 1.0V, enabling robust brownout detection in low-power systems. |
| VCC2 Threshold | +0.788V (suffix D) - factory-trimmed fixed threshold for secondary supply monitoring, eliminating need for external resistor divider. |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 140ms (min) - ensures µP completes full initialization before release, preventing premature code execution. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (nominal) - provides deterministic software execution supervision without requiring precise timing calibration. |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain - enables wired-OR configuration and direct interface with bidirectional µP reset I/O (e.g., Motorola 68HC11). |
| Supply Current | 30µA (max at -40°C to +125°C, VCC = +3.6V) - ultra-low quiescent current suitable for always-on battery-backed monitoring. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive and industrial environments where thermal stability is critical. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6829TIUT+ uses a 6-pin SOT23-6 package with exposed pad (not electrically connected), footprint-compatible with JEDEC MO-178AA. Pin 1 is marked with dot; device orientation follows standard SOT23 top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; requires external pullup; sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.55V for reliable µP reset assertion. |
| 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); internally pulled up to VCC via 50kΩ resistor; accepts CMOS or open-drain logic levels. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; toggling within 1.6s prevents reset; left floating or three-stated disables watchdog function. |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input; connects directly to monitored rail (e.g., core voltage); factory-trimmed comparator threshold applies. |
| 6 | VCC | Primary supply input; powers internal circuitry and sets operating voltage range; reset valid down to +1.0V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC (1.05V–4.78V) and VCC2 (0.788V–2.388V) supervision eliminates need for discrete supervisors in multirail systems. |
| Factory-trimmed VCC2 threshold | Removes external resistor divider and associated tolerance stack-up, improving accuracy and reducing BOM count for secondary rail monitoring. |
| 1.6s watchdog timer with edge-triggered clear | Enables flexible software supervision-toggling WDI at any point resets timer, avoiding stuck-loop false negatives. |
| Open-drain RESET output | Supports shared reset bus architectures and interfaces directly with bidirectional µP reset pins without level-shifting. |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, critical for data integrity in nonvolatile memory systems. |
Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Embedded Controllers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Smart sensor node powered by single-cell Li-ion battery with separate 1.8V I/O and 1.2V core rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-supply supervisor asserting open-drain RESET to ARM Cortex-M0+ during VCC2 (core) brownout or VCC (I/O) sag below 1.8V. Use Value: Prevents corrupted flash writes by holding µP in reset until both rails stabilize above factory-trimmed thresholds (1.575V for VCC, 1.110V for VCC2). |
Use Scenario: Industrial PLC controller with isolated 3.3V communication interface and 2.5V FPGA configuration rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3V VCC and 2.5V VCC2 simultaneously; asserts RESET if either falls below 3.08V or 2.188V respectively. Use Value: Eliminates risk of FPGA misconfiguration due to partial power loss-guarantees 140ms reset hold time after recovery for safe reinitialization. |
| Automotive Systems | Critical µP Monitoring |
Use Scenario: Body control module with 5V MCU supply and 3.3V CAN transceiver rail operating in -40°C to +125°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises VCC (5V) and VCC2 (3.3V) with L-suffix (4.63V/2.313V thresholds); operates across full automotive temperature range. Use Value: Immunity to short negative VCC transients (<20µs at 100mV overdrive) prevents spurious resets during load-dump events. |
Use Scenario: Medical infusion pump requiring fail-safe µP restart upon firmware hang or power anomaly. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses WDI to monitor main loop execution; triggers 140ms RESET pulse if watchdog timer expires due to software lockup. Use Value: 1.6s watchdog timeout provides sufficient margin for complex safety routines while ensuring rapid recovery from hangs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6830TIUT+ | Active-high push-pull RESET output instead of open-drain; identical VCC/VCC2 monitoring and watchdog functionality. | Requires no external pullup; incompatible with bidirectional µP reset pins that expect open-drain drive. | Select MAX6830TIUT+ when interfacing with µPs having dedicated active-high reset inputs and board space is constrained. |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (monitors only VCC); 1.8V fixed threshold; 200ms reset timeout; push-pull RESET; no watchdog or VCC2 input. | Lacks dual-rail monitoring and watchdog capability; suitable only for basic single-rail systems without software supervision needs. | Choose TPS3808G18DBVR for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where watchdog and secondary supply monitoring are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6829TIUT+, MAX6830TIUT+ simplifies reset net routing but sacrifices bidirectional interface flexibility, while TPS3808G18DBVR reduces feature set and cost but cannot replace dual-monitoring or watchdog requirements in the original design.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC2 reset threshold voltage for MAX6829TIUT+?
The MAX6829TIUT+ uses the 'D' threshold suffix per its ordering code (TIUT+ maps to VCC2 = 0.788V). This is a factory-trimmed value with min/typ/max of 0.761V/0.788V/0.815V across -40°C to +125°C. It does not require external components and is optimized for monitoring 0.9V–2.5V secondary supplies.
Does MAX6829TIUT+ support bidirectional microprocessor reset pins?
Yes, MAX6829TIUT+ supports bidirectional µP reset pins via its open-drain RESET output. When paired with an external pullup resistor, it can both assert reset (by pulling low) and release reset (by going high-impedance), matching the behavior required by processors like the Motorola 68HC11.
How is the watchdog timer cleared on MAX6829TIUT+?
The MAX6829TIUT+ watchdog timer is cleared on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin. It does not require specific pulse polarity or width-transitions as short as 50ns suffice. The timer also clears automatically during reset assertion or manual reset activation.
Can MAX6829TIUT+ monitor a 1.2V supply as VCC2?
Yes, MAX6829TIUT+ can monitor a 1.2V supply as VCC2 using the 'H' suffix variant (1.313V threshold) or 'G' suffix (1.110V threshold). The TIUT+ suffix corresponds to 'D' (0.788V), so for 1.2V monitoring, a different suffix (e.g., MAX6829HIUT+) would be required-TIUT+ itself is not rated for 1.2V VCC2 supervision.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6829TIUT+ guarantees valid reset operation?
MAX6829TIUT+ guarantees valid reset operation down to VCC = +1.0V across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. Below this, reset behavior is not specified; the device ensures correct state retention and deterministic reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions.
