Product details
Overview
MAX6844UKD0+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with adjustable reset threshold via RESET IN input, 150µs reset timeout (voltage detector mode), active-high push-pull RESET output, and manual reset (MR) input - designed for reliable power monitoring in 0.75V–1.8V systems such as portable battery-powered controllers and telecom baseband ICs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6844UKD0+T datasheet, MAX6844UKD0+T pinout, MAX6844UKD0+T application, or MAX6844UKD0+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOT23-5 package mapping, confirmed 5-pin terminal roles, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and design-meaningful timing and interface specifications - all validated against Maxim's official datasheet Rev 2 (12/05).
Technical Context
The MAX6844UKD0+T implements a precision voltage comparator referenced to an internal 187.4mV bandgap-derived threshold at RESET IN, enabling externally adjustable VCC monitoring via resistive divider. Its reset assertion logic responds to either falling RESET IN voltage below threshold or MR low pulse, with immunity to sub-150ns VCC transients.
It features a fixed 150µs timeout period (D0 suffix), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.55V, and an active-high push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing 40µA at 0.8×VCC while sinking 80µA at 0.2×VCC - supporting direct interfacing with CMOS µP reset inputs without external pullups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.75V to 1.8V - supports core rails of modern ultra-low-power SoCs and FPGAs |
| RESET IN Threshold | 187.4mV (typ), referenced to VCC - enables precise external threshold setting via resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150µs (typ) - optimized for voltage-detection-only use cases, not system-level brownout recovery |
| Supply Current | 5.7µA (typ at VCC = 0.9V) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Reset Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures deterministic reset behavior across industrial temperature range |
| MR Input Pullup | 20kΩ internal - eliminates need for external pullup; allows direct switch-to-ground connection |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - drives high without external components; compatible with standard µP reset inputs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, surface-mount, lead-free (RoHS-compliant), footprint compatible with JEDEC MO-178AB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and reset comparator |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - asserts high during reset; sinks 80µA / sources 40µA |
| 3 | RESET IN | High-impedance adjustable threshold input - accepts voltage divider referenced to VCC |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC (20kΩ); glitch-filtered |
| 5 | VCC | Supply and monitored rail - powers device and provides reference for RESET IN threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable reset threshold | Enabled via RESET IN pin with 187.4mV internal reference - supports custom VCC thresholds from 0.8V to 1.5V using two resistors |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 5.7µA typical - reduces standby power in battery-critical applications like IoT edge sensors |
| VCC transient immunity | Rejects <150ns falling glitches on VCC - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Guaranteed reset operation | Valid down to VCC = 0.55V - ensures reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Integrated MR pullup | 20kΩ internal resistor - eliminates BOM count and layout area for manual reset switch interface |
Applications
| Portable Power Management | Telecom Baseband Monitoring |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6843UKD0+T | Active-low push-pull RESET output; identical RESET IN threshold, timeout, and supply specs | Requires inverted logic handling at µP reset input; no pullup needed for active-low assertion | Select when target µP accepts active-low reset and board layout already accommodates polarity |
| TPS3123E12DBVR | Fixed 1.2V threshold; 200ms timeout; 1.6V–6V supply range; 1.5µA ICC | Lacks adjustable threshold and MR input; optimized for higher-VDD systems with longer timeouts | Choose for cost-sensitive, fixed-threshold applications where 1.2V monitoring suffices and MR is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6844UKD0+T, MAX6843UKD0+T offers identical supervision accuracy and adjustability but requires active-low µP interface logic, while TPS3123E12DBVR trades flexibility for lower current and simpler implementation in non-adjustable 1.2V systems - making MAX6844UKD0+T optimal for designs needing both programmable threshold and active-high drive without external components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period of the MAX6844UKD0+T?
The MAX6844UKD0+T has a fixed reset timeout period of 150µs (typical), corresponding to the D0 suffix in its part number. This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed across -40°C to +85°C. It is intended for voltage-detection applications rather than full-system power-up sequencing, and does not vary with temperature or supply voltage within specification limits.
Does the MAX6844UKD0+T require external components to set its reset threshold?
Yes - the MAX6844UKD0+T uses an adjustable reset threshold via its RESET IN pin, which references an internal 187.4mV threshold relative to VCC. A two-resistor divider from VCC to GND, with the junction connected to RESET IN, sets the effective trip point. No external reference or trimming is needed; resistor values are calculated using the formula R1 = R2 × (VCC_TH / 0.1874 − 1).
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which the MAX6844UKD0+T guarantees valid reset operation?
The MAX6844UKD0+T guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 0.55V for the active-high push-pull RESET output. Below this voltage, the output stage ceases to sink or source current reliably. This specification ensures robust brownout detection even as the supply collapses - critical for preventing undefined states in low-voltage microcontrollers.
Can the MAX6844UKD0+T be used with a 0.9V supply rail?
Yes - the MAX6844UKD0+T is explicitly rated for VCC = 0.75V to 1.8V, making it fully compatible with 0.9V supplies. At 0.9V, its typical supply current is 5.7µA, RESET IN threshold remains 187.4mV (referenced to VCC), and the active-high RESET output maintains 0.8×VCC high-level drive strength, ensuring interoperability with 0.9V logic families.
How does the manual reset (MR) input function on the MAX6844UKD0+T?
The MR input on the MAX6844UKD0+T is an active-low, internally pulled-up (20kΩ to VCC) signal. Pulling MR low forces immediate reset assertion, which persists for the full 150µs timeout after MR returns high. The input rejects <150ns glitches and requires no external debounce - enabling direct connection to a momentary switch or open-drain logic output without additional components.
