Product details
Overview
The MAX6855UK26D2+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, providing voltage monitoring, manual reset input (MR), and fixed reset timeout (1200ms min). It asserts an active-high push-pull RESET output when VCC drops below 2.625V (typ), MR is pulled low, or during power-up/brownout - ensuring reliable µP initialization in ultra-low-power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6855UK26D2+T datasheet, MAX6855UK26D2+T pinout, MAX6855UK26D2+T application, or MAX6855UK26D2+T equivalent, this device is selected for battery-powered medical monitors, portable instrumentation, and energy-harvesting nodes where sub-200nA quiescent current, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.1V, and immunity to short VCC transients are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, coupled with a digital timeout counter that holds RESET asserted for ≥1200ms after VCC rises above VTH and MR deasserts. Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup enables direct switch interfacing without external components.
The active-high push-pull RESET output drives high to VCC (≥0.8×VCC at 500µA source) and low to ≤0.3V (at 1.2mA sink), eliminating need for external pullups. It guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.1V, supporting brownout detection in deeply scaled supply rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.625V (typ), factory-trimmed ±2.5% - ensures accurate brownout detection at nominal 2.6V system rails |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Reset Timeout | 1200ms (min), D6 option - provides ample time for slow-ramping power supplies or complex boot sequences |
| Operating Voltage | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V logic domains |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates external pullup resistor and simplifies interface to µP reset inputs |
| VCC Immunity | Valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.1V - maintains system reliability during deep brownout conditions |
| MR Input | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch connection directly to GND without external biasing |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5 (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives high to VCC (≥0.8×VCC) and low to ≤0.3V; directly interfaces µP reset pin |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold and noise immunity |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); assert by pulling to GND |
| 4 | GND | Second ground terminal - electrically tied to Pin 2 internally; improves thermal and noise performance |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for reset generation; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for noise rejection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 170nA typical - extends battery life in glucose monitors and wearable sensors beyond 5 years |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Down to VCC = 1.1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout events |
| No external components required | Integrated MR pullup and precision voltage reference - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects ≤40µs glitches at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy automotive or industrial environments |
| Small footprint | 5-pin SOT23 package - fits in space-constrained portable designs such as hearing aids and implantables |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K33DBVR | Fixed 3.08V reset threshold; 200ms timeout; open-drain RESET; 1.6µA ICC | Lacks MR input; requires external pullup; higher supply current limits battery life | Select only if 3.08V threshold and open-drain interface match existing layout and power budget permits 10× higher ICC |
| MAX6361KA26D2+T | Same 2.625V threshold and 1200ms timeout; active-low open-drain RESET; 1.2µA ICC | Requires external pullup; incompatible RESET polarity; higher ICC reduces runtime | Choose only when legacy board uses open-drain RESET and polarity inversion is acceptable |
Compared with TPS3836K33DBVR and MAX6361KA26D2+T, the MAX6855UK26D2+T delivers 10× lower supply current and integrated MR functionality in the same SOT23 footprint, making it optimal for new designs prioritizing multi-year battery life and simplified reset control.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6855UK26D2+T?
The MAX6855UK26D2+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.625V (typical), with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C. This value corresponds to the "26" suffix in the part number per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide (Table 2), and is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH parameter.
Does the MAX6855UK26D2+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6855UK26D2+T does not include a watchdog timer. It belongs to the MAX6854/MAX6855/MAX6856 group, which provides voltage monitoring and manual reset only. Watchdog functionality is exclusive to MAX6864–MAX6869 variants, as confirmed in the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations section.
What is the reset timeout period for the MAX6855UK26D2+T?
The MAX6855UK26D2+T features a 1200ms minimum reset timeout period (D6 option), as indicated by the "D2" suffix in the part number. This is validated in Table 4 (Reset Timeout Periods), where D6 specifies 600ms/900ms/1200ms (min/typ/max).
What type of reset output does the MAX6855UK26D2+T provide?
The MAX6855UK26D2+T provides an active-high push-pull reset output, as confirmed in the MAX6855-specific Pin Description (Page 7) and Selector Guide. Pin 1 is labeled RESET (active-high push-pull), distinguishing it from open-drain or active-low variants in the same family.
Can the MAX6855UK26D2+T operate reliably below 1.8V supply?
Yes, the MAX6855UK26D2+T operates from 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.1V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its 170nA typical supply current at 1.8V and functional operation at 1.2V make it suitable for sub-1.8V energy-harvesting systems.
