Product details
Overview
The MAX6855UK28D1+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 2.800V reset threshold (suffix D1), and 10ms minimum reset timeout period. It monitors VCC, provides manual reset input (MR), and asserts an active-high push-pull RESET output - designed for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection in battery-critical portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6855UK28D1+T datasheet, MAX6855UK28D1+T pinout, MAX6855UK28D1+T application, or MAX6855UK28D1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to short VCC transients (<40µs at 100mV overdrive), push-pull active-high output configuration, and compatibility with low-voltage µP interfaces in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision voltage monitor with ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance over -40°C to +85°C, combined with a fixed 10ms reset timeout timer and MR-triggered reset assertion. Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup eliminates external components, and the push-pull active-high RESET output drives directly to VCC without requiring external biasing.
The MAX6855UK28D1+T belongs to the MAX6854–MAX6869 family but excludes watchdog timer (WDI) and CT-selectable timeout functionality - distinguishing it from MAX6864–MAX6869 and MAX6861–MAX6863 variants. It shares pinout and core supervision logic with MAX6854/MAX6856 but differs in RESET polarity and output type.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.800V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5% tolerance); ensures deterministic reset initiation during VCC brownout at precisely defined rail level |
| 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); guarantees sufficient µP hold time after VCC recovery before release |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-high; provides rail-to-rail drive strength without external pullup, compatible with CMOS µP reset inputs |
| VCC Validity Range | RESET asserted valid down to VCC = +1.1V; supports robust reset behavior even during deep undervoltage conditions |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup to VCC; allows direct switch-to-GND implementation with no external resistor |

Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free (RoHS-compliant), 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; drives high when VCC ≥ 2.800V and MR is deasserted; sinks/source capability specified per VOL/VOH tables |
| 2, 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold and timing accuracy |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; 1µs minimum pulse width; rejects <200ns glitches |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input and monitored rail; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND for noise immunity and accurate threshold detection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, open-drain active-low RESET, 1.6µA ICC | Requires external pullup; higher ICC limits battery life; suited for systems with 3.3V-only rails and legacy µP reset polarity | Select if board already uses TPS383x footprint and µP requires active-low reset; verify VTH alignment with system brownout point |
| MAX6361KA29D3+T | 2.93V threshold, 10ms timeout, push-pull active-low RESET, 1.2µA ICC | Same package but active-low output; higher ICC reduces battery runtime; lacks MR glitch rejection spec | Choose only if active-low RESET is mandatory and 2.93V threshold better matches system VDD tolerance stack-up |
Compared with TPS3836K33DBVR and MAX6361KA29D3+T, the MAX6855UK28D1+T delivers 7× lower supply current and precise 2.800V threshold - critical for long-life medical and sensor applications where µP reset polarity and ultra-low ICC dominate selection.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6855UK28D1+T?
The MAX6855UK28D1+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.800V, 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 "28" corresponds to 2.800V nominal. The MAX6855UK28D1+T maintains this accuracy without calibration or external components.
Does the MAX6855UK28D1+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6855UK28D1+T does not include a watchdog timer. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description sections, only MAX6864–MAX6869 variants feature WDI input; the MAX6855UK28D1+T belongs to the MAX6854/MAX6855/MAX6856 group, which supports voltage monitoring and manual reset only. Its pinout omits WDI, confirming absence of watchdog functionality.
What is the RESET output configuration of the MAX6855UK28D1+T?
MAX6855UK28D1+T features an active-high push-pull RESET output (Pin 1). Unlike open-drain or active-low variants, this configuration drives high when VCC exceeds 2.800V and MR is inactive, eliminating need for external pullup resistors. Electrical specs confirm VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA, validating true push-pull drive capability.
Can the MAX6855UK28D1+T operate reliably below 1.8V supply?
Yes - the MAX6855UK28D1+T guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, and its supply range is specified from 1.2V to 5.5V. At 1.2V, ICC remains only 190nA (typ), and reset assertion/deassertion timing remains functional. This makes MAX6855UK28D1+T suitable for single-cell LiFePO₄ or deeply discharged alkaline systems.
Is the MAX6855UK28D1+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6854–MAX6869 family?
Yes, the MAX6855UK28D1+T uses the standard 5-pin SOT23-5 package shared across the MAX6854–MAX6869 family. Pin 1 is RESET, Pins 2/4 are GND, Pin 3 is MR, and Pin 5 is VCC - matching MAX6854, MAX6856, MAX6861–MAX6863, and MAX6864–MAX6869. However, output polarity (active-high vs. active-low) and presence of WDI/CT pins differ by variant, so electrical interface must be verified.
