Product details
Overview
MAX6831SHUT+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-voltage dual-supply microprocessor supervisory IC with open-drain active-low RESET output, factory-trimmed VCC2 monitor (0.9V–2.5V), manual reset input (MR), and 1.6s watchdog timer. It monitors primary supply VCC (1.8V–5.0V) and secondary supply VCC2 (0.9V–2.5V), asserts reset if either falls below threshold, and maintains reset for ≥140ms after recovery. Used in portable battery-powered equipment and multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-up/down/brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6831SHUT+T datasheet, MAX6831SHUT+T pinout, MAX6831SHUT+T application, or MAX6831SHUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain RESET output compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.0V, immunity to short negative VCC transients, and factory-trimmed 0.9V–2.5V VCC2 monitoring without external components.
Technical Context
The MAX6831SHUT+T implements a dual-threshold supervision architecture: one precision comparator monitors VCC against a preprogrammed threshold (determined by suffix 'H' = 1.313V nominal at -40°C to +125°C), while a second factory-trimmed comparator monitors VCC2 (suffix 'H' = 1.313V). Its internal 1.6s watchdog timer clears on any WDI edge and triggers reset if no transition occurs within timeout.
Reset assertion is OR-combined from VCC undervoltage, VCC2 undervoltage, MR low, or watchdog timeout. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports bidirectional µP reset I/O interfaces. All logic inputs (MR, WDI) feature internal 50kΩ pullups and CMOS-compatible thresholds (0.3×VCC/0.7×VCC).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Threshold | 1.313V (nominal, H-suffix), ±0.045V over -40°C to +125°C - sets primary supply brownout detection point |
| VCC2 Threshold | 1.313V (nominal, H-suffix), ±0.045V over -40°C to +125°C - factory-trimmed secondary supply monitor, no resistor divider needed |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min), 320ms (max) over temperature - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power recovery |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (nominal), 0.8s–2.6s over -40°C to +125°C - provides software execution monitoring with wide temperature tolerance |
| Supply Current (VCC) | 25µA (max, -40°C to +125°C, VCC = +3.6V) - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-critical applications |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and direct interface to bidirectional µP reset pins |
| Operating Voltage Range | VCC = +1.2V to +5.5V, VCC2 = +0.9V to +2.5V - supports modern low-voltage SoCs and multirail systems |

Pinout & Package
MAX6831SHUT+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1, outline 21-0058), footprint-optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives low to assert system reset; requires external pullup; compatible with bidirectional µP reset I/O (e.g., 68HC11) |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and external monitoring networks |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input (active-low) | Internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC; pulling low forces reset for ≥140ms after release; noise-immune with optional 0.1µF capacitor to GND |
| 4 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive; toggling clears 1.6s timer; left unconnected or three-stated disables watchdog; max leakage ±100nA over temp |
| 5 - VCC2 | Secondary supply voltage input | Factory-trimmed comparator input for monitoring +0.9V to +2.5V rails; no external components required |
| 6 - VCC | Primary supply voltage input | Power source and reference for internal circuitry; also monitored against H-suffix threshold (1.313V) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6830SHUT+T | Push-pull active-high RESET output instead of open-drain active-low; identical VCC/VCC2 thresholds and watchdog timing | Requires level-shifting or µP with active-high reset input; not compatible with bidirectional reset pins | Select when system design mandates active-high reset signaling and no bidirectional interface is needed |
| MAX6829SHUT+T | Push-pull active-low RESET output; otherwise identical VCC/VCC2 thresholds, watchdog, and pinout | Cannot be wired-OR'd; incompatible with µPs requiring open-drain reset (e.g., 68HC11); higher drive strength | Select when driving a dedicated reset line with stronger sink capability and no shared bus requirement |
Compared with MAX6830SHUT+T and MAX6829SHUT+T, the MAX6831SHUT+T's open-drain RESET enables flexible reset bus architectures and direct integration with legacy µPs having bidirectional reset I/O, while maintaining identical supervision accuracy and watchdog reliability.

FAQ
What is the VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6831SHUT+T?
The MAX6831SHUT+T uses the 'H' threshold suffix, specifying a nominal VCC reset threshold of 1.313V at -40°C to +125°C, with min/max limits of 1.268V and 1.358V respectively. This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed across temperature, enabling precise brownout detection for low-voltage microcontrollers and SoCs.
Does MAX6831SHUT+T monitor both primary and secondary supplies simultaneously?
Yes, MAX6831SHUT+T continuously monitors VCC (primary supply) and VCC2 (secondary supply) in parallel using independent comparators. VCC is compared against the H-suffix threshold (1.313V), while VCC2 is compared against the same factory-trimmed 1.313V threshold - allowing simultaneous supervision of two rails without external components.
What type of RESET output does MAX6831SHUT+T provide?
MAX6831SHUT+T provides an active-low open-drain RESET output on pin 1. This requires an external pullup resistor and enables wired-OR configurations, direct interfacing with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), and isolation between reset domains - distinguishing it from push-pull variants like MAX6829SHUT+T and MAX6830SHUT+T.
How does the watchdog timer function in MAX6831SHUT+T?
The MAX6831SHUT+T features a 1.6s nominal watchdog timer that triggers reset if the WDI input (pin 4) remains static beyond timeout. The timer clears on any rising or falling edge at WDI. If WDI is left unconnected, internal circuitry pulses it every ~1.4s, effectively disabling the watchdog. Pulse width sensitivity is 50ns minimum.
Is MAX6831SHUT+T guaranteed to operate down to VCC = 1.0V?
Yes, MAX6831SHUT+T is fully specified and guaranteed to assert valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.0V across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors may fail to respond.
