Product details
Overview
The MAX6855UK22D1+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 2.235V reset threshold (suffix "22"), and 10ms minimum reset timeout (suffix "D1"). It provides active-high push-pull RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and operates across –40°C to +85°C for reliable power-up/brownout monitoring in battery-critical systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6855UK22D1+T datasheet, MAX6855UK22D1+T pinout, MAX6855UK22D1+T application, or MAX6855UK22D1+T equivalent, this device serves as a low-quiescent-current voltage monitor with deterministic reset timing and MR-initiated recovery - essential for portable medical sensors, wearables, and energy-harvesting endpoints where supply stability and reset validity down to VCC = 1.1V are mandatory.
Technical Context
The MAX6855UK22D1+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with 2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, coupled to a monolithic RC timer for fixed 10ms reset assertion after VCC recovery or MR deassertion. Its active-high push-pull RESET output is referenced to VCC and guarantees valid logic levels down to VCC = 1.1V.
No watchdog timer or CT pin is present - per Selector Guide and Pin Description, MAX6855 variants lack WDI and CT functionality and exclusively support MR-triggered and VCC-fall-triggered reset assertion. The internal 10kΩ MR pullup ensures robust noise immunity without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.235V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C) - sets precise brownout detection point for 2.5V/3.3V rail monitoring |
| Supply Current | 170nA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Timeout | 10ms minimum (D1 option) - ensures µP reset pulse exceeds minimum processor reset hold time requirements |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup and interfaces directly with CMOS µP reset inputs |
| VCC Validity Range | Guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.1V - supports reset assertion during deep brownout conditions before system collapse |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup to VCC - allows direct switch-to-GND implementation without external biasing |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable medical environments including patient monitors |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5 (lead-free, +T suffix), 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, 1.1mm height - compatible with high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin high during fault; no external pullup required |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold reference |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; momentary GND connection initiates system reset |
| 4 | GND | Second ground terminal - improves noise immunity and thermal dissipation in SOT23 package |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored rail; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND for transient suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current - extends battery life in glucose monitors and wearable ECG sensors beyond 5 years |
| Reset threshold accuracy | ±2.5% over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration in field-deployed devices |
| No external components | Integrated MR pullup, precision reference, and timing - reduces BOM count and layout area vs. discrete solutions |
| VCC transient immunity | Immune to ≤40µs VCC glitches at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy portable equipment |
| Valid RESET at low VCC | Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.1V - ensures fail-safe reset assertion during critical brownout recovery |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3837K22DBVR | 2.2V threshold, 200ms min timeout, open-drain RESET, 1.2µA ICC | Higher supply current limits battery lifetime; open-drain requires pullup for active-high logic | Select only if longer timeout or TI ecosystem alignment outweighs 7× higher ICC and added component count |
| MAX6315US22D1+T | Same 2.235V threshold and 10ms timeout, but push-pull active-low RESET output | Requires inverter or µP with active-low reset input; identical quiescent current and package | Choose when existing design uses active-low reset architecture and board layout cannot accommodate signal inversion |
Compared with TPS3837K22DBVR and MAX6315US22D1+T, the MAX6855UK22D1+T delivers the lowest ICC (170nA vs. 1.2µA or 1.1µA), native active-high push-pull output eliminating external components, and tighter threshold accuracy - making it optimal for multi-year battery-powered medical and audio endpoints.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6855UK22D1+T?
The MAX6855UK22D1+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.235V, with ±2.5% tolerance over –40°C to +85°C. This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the datasheet, where suffix "22" corresponds to 2.235V nominal. The MAX6855UK22D1+T uses this precise threshold to monitor 2.5V rails in portable medical and audio devices without external calibration.
Does the MAX6855UK22D1+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6855UK22D1+T does not include a watchdog timer. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description section, MAX6855 variants support only VCC monitoring and manual reset (MR) - they lack the WDI pin and associated watchdog circuitry found in MAX6864–MAX6869 devices. The MAX6855UK22D1+T relies solely on voltage supervision and MR input for reset generation.
What is the function of Pin 1 and Pin 4 on the MAX6855UK22D1+T?
Pin 1 is the active-high push-pull RESET output, which drives high during reset assertion and low otherwise. Pin 4 is a second GND terminal - both GND pins (2 and 4) must be connected to the same system ground plane to ensure stable reference and thermal performance. This dual-GND configuration improves noise immunity in the 5-pin SOT23 package of the MAX6855UK22D1+T.
Can the MAX6855UK22D1+T operate with supply voltages below 1.8V?
Yes, the MAX6855UK22D1+T operates with VCC as low as 1.2V (minimum specified) and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.1V. Electrical Characteristics confirm functionality at 1.2V, and the "Guaranteed Reset Valid to VCC = +1.1V" feature ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout - a key capability for the MAX6855UK22D1+T in single-cell Li-ion and coin-cell applications.
Is the MAX6855UK22D1+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6854–MAX6869 family?
The MAX6855UK22D1+T shares the same 5-pin SOT23-5 package and pinout (RESET, GND, MR, GND, VCC) with MAX6854, MAX6856, MAX6861–MAX6863, and MAX6864–MAX6869 variants. However, functional pin assignments differ: MAX6855 uses Pin 1 for active-high RESET, while MAX6854 uses Pin 1 for active-low RESET or open-drain. Thus, physical pin compatibility exists, but electrical interface must be verified per variant - especially for RESET polarity and presence of WDI/CT pins.
