Product details
Overview
MAX6830ZWUT+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in 6-pin SOT23 package, monitoring primary VCC (1.53V–2.0V range) and secondary VCC2 (2.24V–2.39V) with factory-trimmed thresholds, push-pull active-high RESET output, manual reset input, and 1.6s watchdog timeout - used in battery-powered embedded controllers requiring reliable brownout detection and system recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6830ZWUT+ datasheet, MAX6830ZWUT+ pinout, MAX6830ZWUT+ application, or MAX6830ZWUT+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its Z-suffix VCC threshold (1.67V typ), W-suffix VCC2 threshold (2.313V typ), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.2V, push-pull active-high RESET logic, and -40°C to +125°C operation in compact SOT23-6.
Technical Context
The MAX6830ZWUT+ integrates two independent voltage monitors: one for primary supply VCC (Z-threshold: 1.61V–1.72V over temperature) and one for secondary supply VCC2 (W-threshold: 2.238V–2.388V over temperature), both feeding into an OR logic gate that triggers reset assertion. Its internal watchdog timer clears on any WDI edge and times out after 0.80s–2.60s if unrefreshed.
Reset assertion is synchronized with a 100ms–320ms timeout delay (140ms min), and the push-pull RESET output drives high during reset with VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC at ISOURCE = 1µA–800µA. MR input includes a 25kΩ–75kΩ internal pullup and responds to sub-microsecond pulses with 100ns glitch rejection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Threshold | 1.61V–1.72V (Z-suffix, -40°C to +125°C); sets primary supply brownout detection point for 1.53V–2.0V systems |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.238V–2.388V (W-suffix, -40°C to +125°C); factory-trimmed secondary monitor for 2.1V–2.75V rails |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-high; eliminates external pullup, supports direct interface to µP reset pins requiring high-asserted reset |
| Reset Timeout Period | 100ms–320ms (140ms min); ensures stable power reestablishment before processor release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 0.80s–2.60s (1.6s nominal); detects firmware hangs in deeply embedded applications without external timing components |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Supply Current | 25µA max at VCC = +1.8V, -40°C to +125°C; enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6+1 outline, land pattern 90-0175), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with 0.95mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; asserts high during fault condition and holds for full timeout period |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (50kΩ typical); initiates reset when pulled to GND |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; edge-sensitive (rising/falling); resets internal 1.6s timer on transition; disabled if left floating |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input; connects directly to monitored 2.24V–2.39V rail; no external resistor divider required |
| 6 | VCC | Primary supply input; powers device and sets VCC threshold (Z-range: 1.53V–2.0V); valid down to +1.2V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of primary (VCC) and secondary (VCC2) supplies with factory-trimmed thresholds avoids calibration overhead |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, critical for fail-safe shutdown in safety-critical instruments |
| No external components required | Eliminates discrete resistors, capacitors, or timing elements - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs glitches down to 100mV below threshold without spurious reset, improving noise robustness in electrically noisy environments |
| Manual reset with integrated pullup | 50kΩ internal MR pullup enables momentary switch interface without external biasing, simplifying front-panel reset implementation |
Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Embedded Controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6829ZWUT+ | Active-low push-pull RESET output; identical VCC/VCC2 thresholds and watchdog timing | Requires inverted reset logic handling in µP firmware or external inverter; unsuitable for µPs expecting active-high reset | Select MAX6829ZWUT+ only when system architecture mandates active-low reset signaling and board layout cannot accommodate level-shifting. |
| MAX6831ZWUT+ | Open-drain RESET output; same VCC/VCC2 thresholds and watchdog specs | Necessitates external pullup resistor; supports bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) without conflict | Choose MAX6831ZWUT+ when interfacing with legacy microcontrollers having shared reset I/O or when bus-wired reset distribution is required. |
Compared with MAX6829ZWUT+ and MAX6831ZWUT+, the MAX6830ZWUT+ provides active-high push-pull RESET - eliminating external components and simplifying firmware integration - while maintaining identical monitoring accuracy, temperature range, and watchdog reliability across all three variants.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage range for MAX6830ZWUT+ over temperature?
The MAX6830ZWUT+ has a Z-suffix VCC threshold specified as 1.61V (min) to 1.72V (max) across -40°C to +125°C operating temperature. This range corresponds to the 1.53V–2.0V primary supply monitoring window and is factory-trimmed - no external calibration is needed. The typical value at +25°C is 1.67V, and the threshold exhibits ±60ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
Does MAX6830ZWUT+ support monitoring of a 2.5V secondary supply?
No, MAX6830ZWUT+ does not support 2.5V VCC2 monitoring. Its W-suffix VCC2 threshold is 2.238V–2.388V (typ 2.313V), optimized for 2.1V–2.75V rails but centered near 2.3V. For 2.5V secondary monitoring, select MAX6830SVUT+ (S-suffix VCC2 = 2.83V–3.02V) or MAX6830YVUT+ (Y-suffix VCC2 = 2.113V–2.263V) - the W-suffix is specifically trimmed for ~2.3V, not 2.5V.
What is the function of Pin 5 (VCC2) on MAX6830ZWUT+?
Pin 5 (VCC2) on MAX6830ZWUT+ is the dedicated input for the factory-trimmed secondary voltage monitor. It connects directly to the 2.24V–2.39V secondary supply rail - no external resistor divider is required. When VCC2 falls below its W-suffix threshold (2.238V–2.388V), the device asserts the active-high RESET output for the full timeout period, independent of VCC status.
Can MAX6830ZWUT+ operate with VCC as low as 1.0V?
MAX6830ZWUT+ guarantees correct reset state only down to VCC = +1.2V over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. While the datasheet notes "guaranteed reset valid down to VCC = +1.0V" for the broader MAX6826–MAX6831 family, the Z-suffix variant (1.53V–2.0V VCC range) is characterized and specified from +1.2V minimum. Operation below +1.2V is outside guaranteed specifications.
How does the watchdog timer behave when WDI is left unconnected on MAX6830ZWUT+?
When WDI is left unconnected on MAX6830ZWUT+, the internal watchdog timer is automatically serviced every ~1.4 seconds by an internal low-high-low pulse, preventing timeout. This disables the watchdog function without requiring external circuitry. However, leakage current must remain below 10µA and load capacitance below 200pF to ensure reliable operation - verified per datasheet Note 1.
