Product details
Overview
MAX6845UKD3+ from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with adjustable reset threshold, active-low open-drain RESET output, 210ms typical reset timeout, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and operation down to VCC = 0.55V - designed for reliable power monitoring in portable, battery-powered, and telecom systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6845UKD3+ datasheet, MAX6845UKD3+ pinout, MAX6845UKD3+ application, or MAX6845UKD3+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOT23-5 pin mapping, real-world use cases in low-voltage µP systems, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and interface differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6845UKD3+ implements a precision voltage comparator referenced to an internal 187.4mV bandgap-derived threshold at the RESET IN pin, enabling externally adjustable reset points via resistive divider networks tied to VCC. It features debounced manual reset (MR) with 20kΩ internal pullup and 150ns glitch rejection.
Its reset assertion logic responds to either falling RESET IN voltage below 187.4mV (referenced to VCC) or MR low assertion, holding RESET low for a fixed 210ms (typ) timeout after recovery. The open-drain output supports level-shifting and bidirectional µP reset interfaces with external pullup to 0–6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Type | Adjustable via RESET IN pin (187.4mV reference to VCC) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms typical - ensures stable µP initialization after brownout recovery |
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.55V to 1.8V - supports core supplies of modern ultra-low-voltage SoCs and MCUs |
| Supply Current | 5.7µA typical at 0.9V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and level translation across supply domains |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for external calibration in industrial environments |
| MR Input Behavior | Internal 20kΩ pullup; 1µs minimum pulse width - simplifies pushbutton interface without external components |
Pinout & Package
MAX6845UKD3+ is housed in a space-saving 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and bias circuits |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - requires external pullup; sinks up to 80µA at VCC ≥ 0.83V |
| 3 | RESET IN | High-impedance input for adjustable reset threshold - referenced to VCC; 25nA max leakage enables high-R divider networks |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; asserts reset when pulled ≤ 0.3×VCC |
| 5 | VCC | Supply input and voltage reference source - powers device and serves as reference for RESET IN divider |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Reset Threshold | Set via external resistor divider on RESET IN - supports custom VCC thresholds from 0.8V to 1.5V without trimming |
| Guaranteed Reset Validity | RESET remains functional down to VCC = 0.55V - ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout |
| Transient Immunity | Rejects VCC glitches < 150ns wide - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Low-Power Operation | 5.7µA supply current at 0.9V - reduces quiescent load on battery-backed rails |
| Bidirectional Reset Interface | Open-drain RESET enables direct connection to µP bidirectional reset pins with single pullup - no level translators required |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial IoT Edge Nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6844UKD3+ | Active-high push-pull RESET output; identical RESET IN, MR, timeout, and threshold specs | Requires inverted reset logic path; incompatible with µPs expecting active-low reset assertion | Select when system design mandates active-high reset signaling and no level translation is feasible |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; 200ms timeout; 2.5µA ICC; SOT23-6 package | Lacks adjustable threshold and manual reset; not suitable for sub-1V monitoring or user-triggered reset | Choose only for higher-voltage (≥3.3V) applications where simplicity and ultra-low ICC outweigh configurability needs |
Compared with MAX6844UKD3+, the MAX6845UKD3+ provides active-low open-drain output for flexible bus interfacing, while TPS3808G33DBVR offers lower ICC but sacrifices adjustability and manual reset - making MAX6845UKD3+ uniquely suited for ultra-low-voltage, field-configurable reset supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6845UKD3+?
The MAX6845UKD3+ has a typical reset active timeout period of 210ms, with minimum and maximum values of 140ms and 280ms respectively, as defined by the D3 suffix in its part number. This fixed delay ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization after power recovery, and is guaranteed over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
How does the RESET IN pin function on MAX6845UKD3+?
The RESET IN pin on MAX6845UKD3+ is a high-impedance input referenced to VCC, with a precise internal threshold of 187.4mV. When the voltage at this pin falls below that threshold (e.g., due to a falling VCC monitored via external resistor divider), MAX6845UKD3+ asserts its open-drain RESET output. Leakage current is limited to ±25nA, enabling use of high-value resistors to minimize power consumption.
What is the lowest valid VCC voltage for MAX6845UKD3+ operation?
MAX6845UKD3+ guarantees functional reset assertion down to VCC = 0.55V for the active-low open-drain output. Below this, the output stage ceases sinking current and becomes high-impedance. The device continues monitoring VCC and RESET IN down to 0.55V, and its internal circuitry remains operational within the full 0.55V–1.8V supply range specified in the datasheet.
Can MAX6845UKD3+ drive a reset line shared with other ICs?
Yes - the open-drain RESET output of MAX6845UKD3+ is explicitly designed for wired-OR configurations. When used with a common pullup resistor, multiple MAX6845UKD3+ devices (or other open-drain supervisors) can share a single reset bus. Each device independently pulls the line low to assert reset, and the bus returns high only when all devices release it.
Does MAX6845UKD3+ include manual reset functionality?
Yes, MAX6845UKD3+ includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) pin with internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC. Pulling MR low forces an immediate reset assertion, which remains active for the full 210ms timeout after MR is released. No external components are needed for basic pushbutton implementation, and the input rejects glitches shorter than 150ns.
