Product details
Overview
The MAX6854UK26D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, a factory-trimmed 2.625V reset threshold (suffix "26"), and a 150ms minimum reset timeout period (suffix "D3"). It provides active-low push-pull reset output, manual reset input (MR), and voltage monitoring for brownout detection - deployed in battery-powered glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6854UK26D3+T datasheet, MAX6854UK26D3+T pinout, MAX6854UK26D3+T application, or MAX6854UK26D3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact pin roles, confirmed timing behavior, and validated alternative options for low-power µP reset supervision in space-constrained, long-life systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, coupled to a digital timeout counter that holds RESET asserted for ≥150ms after VCC rises above 2.625V and MR deasserts. Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup and glitch rejection (200ns) enable direct switch interfacing without external components.
The reset assertion logic is fully asynchronous: RESET activates on VCC falling below 2.625V, MR low, or (in watchdog variants) WDI timeout - but MAX6854UK26D3+T excludes watchdog functionality, distinguishing it from MAX6864–MAX6869 family members. Guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.1V ensures reliable operation during deep brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.625V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5% tolerance); sets precise brownout detection point for 2.7V–3.3V logic rails |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms (min); ensures µP completes power stabilization and initialization before release |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ at +25°C); enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered patient monitors |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, and multi-rail embedded systems |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull; drives directly into µP reset pin without external pullup or level-shifting |

Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5 (lead-free, RoHS-compliant), 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, 1.1mm height - optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output; sinks ≥50µA at VCC ≥ 1.1V; asserts when VCC < 2.625V or MR low |
| 2, 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits; must connect to system ground plane with low-inductance path |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); 1µs minimum pulse width accepted |
| 5 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored rail; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for noise immunity |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K26DBVR | 2.63V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.8µA ICC - 10× higher supply current than MAX6854UK26D3+T | Higher ICC limits use in >5-year battery applications; identical SOT23-5 pinout and reset behavior | Select when legacy TI design reuse is prioritized over ultra-low-power optimization |
| STM6315SW13FD | 2.63V threshold, 140ms timeout, 350nA ICC - 2× higher supply current, wider timeout tolerance (±20%) | Looser timing specs acceptable in non-critical consumer electronics; requires external MR pullup | Select when dual-source strategy mandates STMicroelectronics qualification, accepting 15% ICC penalty |
Compared with TPS3836K26DBVR and STM6315SW13FD, the MAX6854UK26D3+T delivers the lowest ICC (170nA) and tightest threshold accuracy (±2.5%), making it optimal for medical-grade battery longevity and precision brownout response - though its non-watchdog architecture excludes fault-detection use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6854UK26D3+T?
The MAX6854UK26D3+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of 2.625V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C. This value is fixed per the "26" suffix in the part number and is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the official datasheet. The MAX6854UK26D3+T does not support adjustable or user-programmable thresholds.
Does the MAX6854UK26D3+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6854UK26D3+T does not include a watchdog timer. It belongs to the base MAX6854/MAX6855/MAX6856 subgroup, which provides only voltage monitoring and manual reset functionality. Watchdog capability is exclusive to MAX6864–MAX6869 variants (denoted by "S" or "L" suffixes), as confirmed in the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations section of the datasheet.
What is the reset timeout period for the MAX6854UK26D3+T, and is it adjustable?
The MAX6854UK26D3+T has a fixed minimum reset timeout period of 150ms, indicated by the "D3" suffix. This value is not adjustable - unlike MAX6861–MAX6863 variants, which feature a CT pin for selecting between 10ms and 150ms timeouts. The 150ms duration is guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage per Table 4 (Reset Timeout Periods).
What output type does the MAX6854UK26D3+T provide, and how is it configured?
The MAX6854UK26D3+T provides an active-low push-pull RESET output (Pin 1), as specified in the MAX6854/MAX6856 column of the Pin Description table. This configuration drives the reset line directly without requiring an external pullup resistor and is compatible with standard µP reset inputs expecting active-low assertion.
Can the MAX6854UK26D3+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX6854UK26D3+T is fully specified to operate at VCC = 1.2V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its RESET output remains valid down to VCC = 1.1V, and supply current is characterized at 1.2V (190nA typ). This makes it suitable for single-cell lithium or alkaline systems where rail voltage decays below 1.8V.
