Product details
Overview
The MAX6855UK31D3+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 3.075V reset threshold (suffix "31"), and 150ms minimum reset timeout (suffix "D3"). It provides active-high push-pull RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and voltage monitoring for brownout detection - used in battery-powered medical and portable electronics to ensure reliable µP initialization.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6855UK31D3+T datasheet, MAX6855UK31D3+T pinout, MAX6855UK31D3+T application, or MAX6855UK31D3+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 logic, and compatibility with low-voltage systems operating from 1.2V to 5.5V.
Technical Context
This device integrates a precision voltage monitor, manual reset latch, and internal reset timeout timer - no external components required. Its BiCMOS process enables stable operation across -40°C to +85°C while maintaining nanoscale quiescent current.
The MAX6855UK31D3+T asserts RESET high when VCC falls below 3.075V or MR is pulled low; RESET remains high for ≥150ms after VCC rises above threshold and MR deasserts. Internal 10kΩ MR pullup eliminates need for external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 3.075V (±2.5%) - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at nominal 3.3V rail |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms (min) - ensures µP completes power-up sequencing before release |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at 2.5V - extends battery life in always-on portable devices |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-high - drives high-impedance µP reset inputs directly, no pullup needed |
| Minimum Valid VCC | +1.1V - guarantees RESET assertion integrity during deep brownout conditions |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Immune to ≤40µs transients at 100mV overdrive - suppresses false resets in noisy environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - asserts high during reset; sinks/source capability defined per VCC and load |
| 2, 4 | GND | Ground reference - both pins must be connected to common system ground for noise immunity |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; accepts CMOS logic levels |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitors own power rail; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices |
| No external components | Integrated reset timer, MR pullup, and voltage reference eliminate BOM cost and layout area |
| Guaranteed reset down to VCC = +1.1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior even during severe undervoltage events |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤40µs duration at 100mV overdrive - critical for automotive/industrial EMI resilience |
| Push-pull active-high RESET | Direct interface to µP reset pins requiring high-active assertion; no external pullup resistor needed |
Applications
| Portable Glucose Monitors | Patient Vital Sign Loggers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6854UK31D3+T | Active-low push-pull RESET output; identical threshold (3.075V), timeout (150ms), and ICC (170nA) | Requires µP with active-low reset input; incompatible with active-high reset logic without inversion | Select when target µP uses active-low reset and board layout already accommodates pull-down or inverter path |
| TPS3836K33DBVR | 3.08V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.2µA ICC - higher quiescent current, same SOT23-5 footprint | Higher ICC reduces battery life in multi-year deployments; suitable for mains-powered or frequently charged systems | Choose if legacy design uses TI-supplied firmware expecting TPS3836 timing, or where 1.2µA ICC is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6855UK31D3+T, the MAX6854UK31D3+T offers identical supervision accuracy and timing but inverted reset polarity - requiring signal-level redesign. The TPS3836K33DBVR trades 7× higher supply current for broader vendor support and longer production lifecycle, but sacrifices nanopower advantage in energy-constrained applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6855UK31D3+T?
The MAX6855UK31D3+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of 3.075V, 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 "31" corresponds to 3.075V nominal. The MAX6855UK31D3+T maintains this accuracy without external calibration.
Does the MAX6855UK31D3+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6855UK31D3+T does not include a watchdog timer. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description sections, only MAX6864–MAX6869 variants integrate WDI functionality. The MAX6855UK31D3+T provides voltage monitoring, manual reset (MR), and fixed 150ms reset timeout - consistent with its designation as a non-watchdog member of the family.
What is the reset output configuration of the MAX6855UK31D3+T?
The MAX6855UK31D3+T features an active-high push-pull RESET output, as confirmed in the MAX6855/MAX6856 Pin Description table and Selector Guide. Pin 1 delivers a logic-high signal during reset assertion and returns low after timeout completion - eliminating need for external pullup resistors and enabling direct connection to µP reset inputs requiring high-active assertion.
Can the MAX6855UK31D3+T operate reliably below 1.8V?
Yes, the MAX6855UK31D3+T operates from 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V. Electrical Characteristics confirm RESET output voltage (VOH) remains ≥0.8 × VCC at VCC ≥ 1.71V with 200µA source current, and the device maintains functional reset timing integrity across the full specified range - making it suitable for 1.2V, 1.5V, and 1.8V logic domains.
Is the MAX6855UK31D3+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX68xx family?
The MAX6855UK31D3+T shares the same 5-pin SOT23-5 package and pinout (VCC, MR, GND, GND, RESET) with MAX6854, MAX6856, MAX6858, and MAX6860–MAX6863 variants. However, pin compatibility does not imply functional equivalence - e.g., MAX6854 outputs active-low RESET, while MAX6855UK31D3+T outputs active-high. Swapping requires verification of reset polarity and timing alignment in the target system.
