Product details
Overview
The MAX6855UK28D5+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 300ms minimum reset timeout. It asserts an active-high push-pull RESET output when VCC drops below 2.800V (factory-trimmed threshold), MR is pulled low, or during power-up/brownout - ensuring reliable µP initialization in ultra-low-power systems. It is used in battery-powered medical monitors and portable instrumentation requiring guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6855UK28D5+T datasheet, MAX6855UK28D5+T pinout, MAX6855UK28D5+T application, or MAX6855UK28D5+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact reset threshold (2.800V), confirmed 300ms timeout (D5), active-high push-pull output topology, and validated alternative options for portable µP supervision with manual reset capability.
Technical Context
This device integrates a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor, a digital reset timeout timer, and a CMOS-compatible manual reset input with 10kΩ internal pullup. Its reset assertion logic is triggered solely by VCC falling below 2.800V ±2.5%, MR low pulse ≥1µs, or power-on sequencing - no watchdog or CT pin functionality is present.
The active-high push-pull RESET output drives to ≥0.8×VCC when deasserted (ISOURCE = 500µA, VCC ≥ 2.38V) and sinks to ≤0.3V when asserted (ISINK = 1.2mA, VCC ≥ 2.38V), with guaranteed validity across VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V and operating temperature −40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.800V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed voltage at which RESET asserts on VCC fall; enables precise brownout detection for 2.8V/3.0V rails. |
| Reset Timeout | 300ms (min) - fixed D5 option ensures sufficient µP initialization time after VCC rise or MR release before deassertion. |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at VCC = 1.8V - ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in always-on portable devices. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup; directly interfaces to µP reset inputs requiring high-active assertion. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports supervision of diverse supply rails including Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V) and low-voltage logic (1.8V). |
| Reset Validity Limit | VCC ≥ 1.1V - guarantees RESET remains valid during deep brownout, critical for fail-safe operation in medical sensors. |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low, internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ - accepts CMOS-level signals; requires <1µs pulse width for reliable reset initiation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free (RoHS-compliant), footprint compatible with industry-standard 5-lead SOT23 layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; drives high during reset assertion, low when deasserted; referenced to VCC. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane for stable reset timing. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); initiates reset when pulled ≤0.3×VCC. |
| 4 | GND | Second ground terminal; electrically tied to Pin 2 internally; improves noise immunity in high-EMI environments. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input and monitored rail; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for transient suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 170nA typical - enables multi-year operation from coin-cell batteries in glucose monitors and wearables. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Valid down to VCC = +1.1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout, unlike many competitors failing at 1.5V. |
| No external components required | Self-contained supervision - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for RC networks or external pullups. |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects ≤40µs transients at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets in noisy automotive or industrial power rails. |
| Factory-trimmed accuracy | ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance - removes need for calibration or trimming in production test. |
