Product details
Overview
MAX6831YHUT-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 (2.188V threshold), manual reset input, and 1.6s watchdog timer. It monitors primary supply VCC (1.2–5.5V) and secondary supply VCC2 (0.9–2.5V), asserts reset on undervoltage or watchdog timeout, and guarantees valid reset operation down to VCC = +1.0V. Used in portable battery-powered equipment and multivoltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6831YHUT-T datasheet, MAX6831YHUT-T pinout, MAX6831YHUT-T application, or MAX6831YHUT-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-drain RESET output compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins, guaranteed operation at VCC ≥ 1.0V, factory-set 2.188V VCC2 threshold (Y suffix), and 140ms minimum reset timeout period across –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6831YHUT-T implements dual independent voltage monitoring: a programmable primary VCC threshold (determined by part suffix) and a fixed secondary VCC2 threshold (2.188V for Y suffix). Its internal watchdog timer triggers reset if WDI remains static beyond 1.6s (min 0.8s, max 2.6s over temperature), and it clears on any WDI edge or MR assertion.
Reset assertion is OR-combined from VCC/VCC2 undervoltage, MR low, or watchdog timeout; reset remains asserted for ≥140ms after all conditions clear. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports bidirectional µP reset interfaces without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | +1.2V to +5.5V at –40°C to +125°C; enables use with 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains. |
| VCC2 Threshold (Y suffix) | +2.188V (typ), ±0.075V over –40°C to +125°C; factory-trimmed for precise 2.5V rail monitoring. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min), 200ms (typ), 280ms (max); ensures sufficient µP initialization time after power stabilization. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (nominal), 0.8s–2.6s over temperature; provides robust software execution monitoring in safety-critical firmware. |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low; allows wired-OR reset bus sharing and direct interface to bidirectional µP reset I/O (e.g., Motorola 68HC11). |
| Supply Current (VCC = +3.6V) | 25µA (max) at –40°C to +125°C; supports ultra-low-power battery operation in portable instrumentation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial embedded environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6+1 outline, land pattern 90-0175), RoHS-compliant, lead-free option available as MAX6831YHUT+T.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; requires external pullup; sinks ≥100µA at VCC ≥ 1.2V. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and logic; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 3 | MR | Manual reset input, active-low, with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC; accepts CMOS levels; 1µs minimum pulse width. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; toggling within 1.6s prevents reset; unconnected or high-impedance disables watchdog function. |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input; monitored against fixed +2.188V threshold (Y suffix); no external components required. |
| 6 | VCC | Primary supply input; monitored against suffix-defined threshold (e.g., Y = 2.19V); powers internal circuitry and RSTIN comparator. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises primary VCC (1.2–5.5V) and secondary VCC2 (0.9–2.5V) with separate thresholds and fault detection paths. |
| Factory-trimmed VCC2 threshold | 2.188V (Y suffix) with ±0.075V tolerance over full temperature range eliminates need for external resistor dividers. |
| Open-drain RESET output | Enables direct connection to bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., 68HC11) and supports multi-source reset bus architectures. |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.0V | Ensures reliable reset assertion during deep brownout or ultra-low-voltage startup sequences without external support circuitry. |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs negative glitches down to 100mV below threshold without spurious reset-critical for noisy power rails. |
Applications

FAQ
What is the exact VCC2 reset threshold voltage for MAX6831YHUT-T?
The MAX6831YHUT-T has a factory-trimmed VCC2 reset threshold of +2.188V (typical), with a guaranteed range of +2.113V to +2.263V over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This value corresponds to the "Y" suffix in the part number and is optimized for monitoring standard 2.5V power rails without external components.
Does MAX6831YHUT-T support operation at VCC = +1.0V?
Yes, the MAX6831YHUT-T is guaranteed to assert a valid reset signal down to VCC = +1.0V across –40°C to +125°C. Its internal circuitry remains functional and the open-drain RESET output maintains specified sink capability (≥100µA) even at this ultra-low supply voltage, enabling reliable brownout detection in deep low-power states.
How does the watchdog timer in MAX6831YHUT-T function?
The MAX6831YHUT-T watchdog timer has a nominal timeout of 1.6s, with a guaranteed range of 0.8s to 2.6s over temperature. It resets on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and triggers reset if WDI remains static beyond timeout. When WDI is left unconnected, internal circuitry automatically services the timer every ~1.4s, effectively disabling watchdog supervision unless externally driven.
Can MAX6831YHUT-T monitor a 1.8V supply as VCC2?
No-MAX6831YHUT-T's VCC2 input is factory-trimmed to +2.188V (Y suffix) and is specified only for monitoring supplies between +0.9V and +2.5V. A 1.8V rail falls within that range but will not trigger reset until it drops below +2.113V (min threshold), making it unsuitable for precise 1.8V supervision. For 1.8V monitoring, select a variant with "W" (1.665V) or "V" (1.575V) suffix instead.
What package type and footprint does MAX6831YHUT-T use?
The MAX6831YHUT-T uses a 6-pin SOT23 package (outline U6+1, land pattern 90-0175), with 0.95mm pitch and standardized solder pad dimensions. It is RoHS-compliant and available in lead-free form as MAX6831YHUT+T. The pinout is fully compatible with industry-standard SOT23-6 footprints used for supervisory ICs and voltage detectors.
