Product details
Overview
The MAX6855UK24D2+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 2.4V reset threshold (±2.5%), and 40ms minimum reset timeout period. It provides active-high push-pull RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and operates across -40°C to +85°C - used for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection in battery-powered medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6855UK24D2+T datasheet, MAX6855UK24D2+T pinout, MAX6855UK24D2+T application, or MAX6855UK24D2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.4V VTH tolerance, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to sub-40µs VCC transients, and compatibility with CMOS-level MR signaling without external pullup.
Technical Context
This device integrates voltage monitoring, manual reset assertion, and reset timing control into a single die. Its internal comparator monitors VCC against a precision bandgap-derived 2.4V threshold, triggering an active-high push-pull RESET output that remains asserted for ≥40ms after VCC exceeds VTH and MR deasserts.
The MR input features 10kΩ internal pullup, 0.3×VCC/0.7×VCC logic thresholds, 1µs minimum pulse width support, and 200ns glitch rejection - enabling direct interface with momentary switches or CMOS outputs without debounce circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VTH) | 2.4V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed for accurate brownout detection at nominal 2.4V rail |
| Reset Timeout (tRP) | 40ms min - ensures µP reset hold time meets boot initialization requirements |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 170nA typ at +25°C - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| VCC Validity Range | 1.1V to 5.5V - RESET remains functional even during deep brownout conditions |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low, 0.3×VCC/0.7×VCC thresholds - compatible with standard CMOS I/O |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-high - eliminates need for external pullup resistor |
| VCC Transient Immunity | No reset for ≤40µs transients at 100mV overdrive - suppresses noise-induced false resets |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives high when VCC < VTH or MR low; no external pullup needed |
| 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 via 10kΩ; accepts CMOS logic levels |
| 4 | GND | Second ground terminal - improves noise immunity; connect to same ground as Pin 2 |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for reset generation; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical - extends battery life in portable glucose monitors and patient telemetry devices |
| Guaranteed RESET at VCC = 1.1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep undervoltage events before µP lockup |
| No external components required | Integrates pullup on MR, precision VTH reference, and timing capacitor - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy automotive or industrial environments |
| CMOS-compatible MR interface | Accepts standard logic levels without level-shifting - simplifies connection to µP GPIO or switch inputs |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Battery-Powered PDAs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3837K24DBVR | 2.4V threshold, 40ms timeout, open-drain active-low RESET, 1.2µA ICC | Requires external pullup; higher ICC limits battery lifetime in multi-year deployments | Select when legacy board uses open-drain RESET and existing pullup resistor can be reused |
| MAX6316LUK24D2+T | 2.4V threshold, 40ms timeout, active-low push-pull RESET, 800nA ICC | Active-low output requires µP reset pin compatibility check; higher ICC than MAX6855 | Choose if system design mandates active-low RESET and lower cost is prioritized over nanopower operation |
Compared with TPS3837K24DBVR and MAX6316LUK24D2+T, the MAX6855UK24D2+T delivers the lowest ICC (170nA vs. 1.2µA/800nA) and native active-high push-pull output - eliminating pullup resistors and maximizing battery service life in always-on medical wearables.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6855UK24D2+T?
The MAX6855UK24D2+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of 2.4V with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature (-40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the datasheet, where suffix "24" corresponds to 2.4V nominal VTH. The device guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, making it suitable for deep brownout detection scenarios.
Does the MAX6855UK24D2+T require an external pullup resistor on the MR pin?
No, the MAX6855UK24D2+T includes an internal 10kΩ pullup resistor from MR to VCC. The MR pin is active-low with logic thresholds of 0.3×VCC (VIL) and 0.7×VCC (VIH), allowing direct connection to CMOS outputs or momentary switches to GND. Leaving MR unconnected defaults to high, disabling manual reset - no external components are needed for basic operation.
What is the function of the RESET output on the MAX6855UK24D2+T?
The RESET output of the MAX6855UK24D2+T is an active-high push-pull driver. It transitions high when VCC drops below 2.4V or when MR is pulled low, and remains high for ≥40ms after VCC rises above VTH and MR is released. Because it is push-pull, no external pullup resistor is required - unlike open-drain alternatives - simplifying PCB layout and reducing component count.
Can the MAX6855UK24D2+T operate with supply voltages below 2.4V?
Yes, the MAX6855UK24D2+T operates with VCC from 1.1V to 5.5V. Its reset function remains fully specified down to VCC = +1.1V, ensuring deterministic behavior during brownout conditions. Below 1.1V, RESET output may become invalid, but the device continues to draw only 170nA typical current - supporting graceful shutdown sequencing in ultra-low-voltage systems.
How does the MAX6855UK24D2+T handle short-duration supply transients?
The MAX6855UK24D2+T rejects VCC transients ≤40µs in duration when the overdrive is 100mV (i.e., VCC dips 100mV below 2.4V threshold), as shown in Figure MAX684 toc05. This transient immunity prevents false resets caused by switching noise or load dump events, making it robust in electrically noisy portable medical and industrial environments.
