Product details
Overview
MAX6830TZUT from Maxim Integrated is a dual ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-6 package, monitoring primary supply (VCC) and secondary supply (VCC2) with factory-trimmed thresholds, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer (WDI). It asserts an active-high push-pull RESET output when either supply drops below its threshold, MR is pulled low, or watchdog times out - maintaining reset for ≥140ms after recovery. Used in battery-powered embedded controllers requiring reliable brownout and software fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6830TZUT datasheet, MAX6830TZUT pinout, MAX6830TZUT application, or MAX6830TZUT equivalent, key selection considerations include its VCC2 monitor down to +0.9V, 1.6s watchdog timeout, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.0V, push-pull RESET output, and immunity to short negative VCC transients - critical for portable and automotive multivoltage systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6830TZUT implements dual independent voltage monitoring: VCC (primary) with factory-set threshold (here: 2.93V per TZ suffix) and VCC2 (secondary) with fixed +0.9V to +2.5V range (TZ corresponds to VCC2 = +0.9V). Its internal watchdog timer triggers reset if WDI remains static >1.6s, and resets on any edge transition.
Reset assertion logic combines ORed conditions - VCC < VTH, VCC2 < VTH2, MR low, or WDI timeout - with a monotonic 140ms minimum timeout delay after all conditions clear. The push-pull RESET output drives high (≥0.8×VCC) when inactive and low (≤0.3V at ISINK = 3.2mA) when asserted, eliminating external pull-up requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.93V (TZ suffix); ensures reliable reset initiation during brownout of 3.3V I/O rails |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 0.9V (factory-trimmed); monitors core supply of low-voltage µPs like ARM Cortex-M0+ |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms min; guarantees sufficient hold time for full µP initialization and memory stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s nominal; provides robust software execution monitoring without excessive overhead |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull; eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and supports direct µP reset pin drive |
| Operating Voltage Range | VCC = +2.7V to +3.6V; matches standard 3.3V system rails while supporting down to +1.0V for valid reset assertion |
| Supply Current | 7µA (typ) at +3.6V; enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
Pinout & Package
MAX6830TZUT is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with industry-standard 3.3mm × 1.8mm SOT-23 variants and suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; drives high (≥0.8×VCC) when idle, low (≤0.3V) during reset assertion |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Manual reset input (active-low); internally pulled up to VCC (50kΩ); momentary GND connection forces reset |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; reset triggered if static >1.6s; cleared by rising/falling edges; disabled when floating or three-stated |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input; factory-trimmed comparator input for monitoring +0.9V to +2.5V rails (TZ = +0.9V) |
| 6 | VCC | Primary supply input; powers device and feeds VCC monitor with 2.93V threshold (TZ suffix) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises 3.3V I/O rail (VCC) and 0.9V core rail (VCC2), enabling complete SoC power integrity coverage |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, preventing runaway code execution before power collapse |
| No external components required | Integrates precision voltage references, timing capacitors, and pull-up resistors - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Tolerates ≤20µs glitches down to 100mV below threshold without spurious reset, improving noise resilience in automotive environments |
| 1.6s watchdog with edge-triggered clear | Allows flexible software heartbeat placement (e.g., set/clear at different program points) to detect stuck loops more reliably than periodic toggling |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6827TZUT | Same pinout and VCC/VCC2 thresholds, but features active-high push-pull RESET (identical to MAX6830TZUT) | Designed for same 3.3V/0.9V dual-rail monitoring; differs only in ordering suffix - TZUT denotes identical functionality | Select MAX6827TZUT only if legacy BOM references that part number; electrically and functionally identical to MAX6830TZUT |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | Single-supply monitor (1.8V threshold only), no VCC2 input, no watchdog, open-drain RESET, 200ms timeout | Lacks secondary rail monitoring and watchdog - suitable only for basic single-rail reset, not dual-voltage or software-fault detection | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where VCC2 supervision and watchdog are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6830TZUT, MAX6827TZUT is functionally identical and interchangeable, while TPS3808G18DBVR offers reduced feature set and cannot replace MAX6830TZUT in dual-supply or watchdog-requiring designs without system-level redesign.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC and VCC2 reset threshold voltage for MAX6830TZUT?
The MAX6830TZUT has a VCC reset threshold of 2.93V (±3% over -40°C to +125°C) and a factory-trimmed VCC2 threshold of 0.9V. These values are defined by the "TZ" suffix in the part number and are verified across the full operating temperature range per Maxim's Electrical Characteristics table.
Does MAX6830TZUT support active-high or active-low reset output?
MAX6830TZUT provides an active-high push-pull RESET output. When reset is not asserted, RESET is driven high (≥0.8×VCC); when any fault condition occurs (VCC/VCC2 undervoltage, MR low, or WDI timeout), RESET is driven low (≤0.3V) for ≥140ms.
Can MAX6830TZUT monitor a 1.2V supply as VCC2?
No. MAX6830TZUT's VCC2 input is factory-trimmed specifically for 0.9V threshold monitoring (per TZ suffix). To monitor 1.2V, select MAX6830SDUT (S = 2.63V VCC, D = 0.788V VCC2) or MAX6830VDUT (V = 1.58V VCC, D = 0.788V VCC2) - VCC2 threshold is fixed per suffix and not user-adjustable on MAX6830 variants.
What is the watchdog timeout period of MAX6830TZUT and how is it cleared?
The MAX6830TZUT watchdog timeout period is 1.6s nominal. It is cleared by any rising or falling edge on the WDI pin - not by level-holding. This allows flexible software implementation, such as toggling WDI at different program points to detect stuck loops more effectively than simple periodic pulses.
Is MAX6830TZUT compatible with 1.8V VCC operation?
No. MAX6830TZUT is specified for VCC = +2.7V to +3.6V (per "T" suffix), matching 3.3V systems. For 1.8V VCC operation, use MAX6830WVUT (W = 1.67V VCC, V = 1.58V VCC2) or MAX6830YVUT (Y = 2.19V VCC, V = 1.58V VCC2), which are rated down to +1.53V VCC.
