Product details
Overview
MAX6841EUKD0-T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor +0.9V to +1.5V power supplies in portable and battery-powered systems. It provides factory-trimmed 0.833V reset threshold, 150µs timeout (voltage detector mode), active-low push-pull RESET output, and debounced manual reset input - ensuring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection for critical µP applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6841EUKD0-T datasheet, MAX6841EUKD0-T pinout, MAX6841EUKD0-T application, or MAX6841EUKD0-T equivalent, this device serves as a low-power (5.7µA typical), SOT23-5 packaged voltage detector with guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.55V, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and immunity to fast VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6841EUKD0-T implements a precision bandgap-referenced comparator with hysteresis (0.75% of VTH) to detect VCC falling below its fixed 0.833V threshold. Its internal reset timer asserts RESET for exactly 150µs after VCC recovers above threshold - a fixed, non-adjustable delay optimized for voltage detection rather than full system reset.
It features a dedicated MR input with 20kΩ internal pullup and 150ns glitch rejection, enabling robust manual reset initiation without external components. The active-low push-pull RESET output drives directly into CMOS inputs and remains functional down to VCC = 0.55V, eliminating need for external pullups in most µP interface scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 0.833V ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - precisely set at factory for 0.9V–1.5V supply monitoring |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150µs typical - fixed delay for voltage detector operation; no external capacitor required |
| Supply Current | 5.7µA typical at VCC = 0.9V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable devices |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.75V to 1.8V - supports modern ultra-low-voltage µPs and SoCs powered from DC/DC converters |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull - drives low without external components; sinks 10µA at VCC ≥ 0.55V |
| MR Input Characteristics | Internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC; 1µs minimum pulse width; 150ns glitch rejection - eliminates need for external debounce |
| Reset Validity Limit | VCC ≥ 0.55V - ensures deterministic RESET state during deep power-down sequences |
Pinout & Package
MAX6841EUKD0-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+T option available).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET (active-low) | Push-pull output asserted low during power failure or MR activation; drives directly into µP reset pin |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and timing circuits; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 | RESET (active-high) | Inverted complement of Pin 1; provides simultaneous active-high reset signal without external inverter |
| 4 | MR (active-low) | Manual reset input with internal 20kΩ pullup; pulling low forces immediate reset assertion |
| 5 | VCC | Monitored supply input; powers internal circuitry and sets reference for reset comparator |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6841EUKD0-T?
The MAX6841EUKD0-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 0.833V, with ±2.5% accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold (VCC Falling)" for suffix 'E', and applies specifically to the MAX6841EUKD0-T variant - not adjustable and independent of external components.
Does the MAX6841EUKD0-T require external components to operate?
No, the MAX6841EUKD0-T operates autonomously with no external resistors, capacitors, or adjustments required. Its 0.833V threshold is factory-set, the 150µs timeout is internally generated, and the MR input includes a 20kΩ internal pullup. Only decoupling capacitance near VCC is recommended per standard analog design practice - no reset timing or threshold-setting components are needed for basic operation of the MAX6841EUKD0-T.
What is the function of Pin 3 (RESET) on the MAX6841EUKD0-T?
Pin 3 on the MAX6841EUKD0-T is the active-high push-pull RESET output - the logical inverse of Pin 1 (active-low RESET). When VCC drops below 0.833V or MR is pulled low, Pin 1 goes low while Pin 3 goes high, providing complementary reset signals to drive both active-low and active-high reset inputs on different system components simultaneously without external logic - a key feature unique to the MAX6841EUKD0-T within the family.
Can the MAX6841EUKD0-T monitor supplies below 0.9V?
Yes, the MAX6841EUKD0-T guarantees valid operation down to VCC = 0.75V (minimum supply specification) and maintains reset assertion integrity down to VCC = 0.55V. While its 0.833V threshold is optimized for 0.9V–1.5V systems, it reliably detects brownout events in 0.8V or 0.75V rails - confirmed by Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables showing functional behavior at VCC = 0.75V for the MAX6841EUKD0-T.
How does the MAX6841EUKD0-T handle fast voltage transients on VCC?
The MAX6841EUKD0-T incorporates comparator hysteresis (0.75% of VTH) and transient filtering that rejects VCC glitches ≤150ns wide when overdrive is 10mV - as documented in Figure 2 ("Maximum Transient Duration vs. Overdrive") of the datasheet. This immunity is intrinsic to the MAX6841EUKD0-T's architecture and requires no external RC network, making it robust in electrically noisy environments like motor-driven handheld tools or switching power supply proximity.
