Product details
Overview
The MAX6855UK35D3+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 3.5V reset threshold (±2.5%), and 150ms minimum reset timeout period. It provides active-high push-pull RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and operates across -40°C to +85°C - designed for reliable power-up/brownout monitoring in battery-powered medical and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6855UK35D3+T datasheet, MAX6855UK35D3+T pinout, MAX6855UK35D3+T application, or MAX6855UK35D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to short VCC transients (<40µs at 100mV overdrive), MR glitch rejection (200ns), and compatibility with CMOS-level manual reset sources without external pullup.
Technical Context
This device integrates voltage monitoring, manual reset assertion, and timing-controlled reset deassertion into a single monolithic BiCMOS IC. Its internal reset timeout generator ensures deterministic reset hold time after VCC recovery or MR release, independent of external components.
The active-high push-pull RESET output is referenced to VCC and guarantees VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC (ISOURCE = 500µA) and VOL ≤ 0.3V (ISINK = 1.2mA), enabling direct interfacing with µP reset inputs requiring high-true logic. MR features an internal 10kΩ pullup and accepts CMOS-compatible low-voltage assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries without compromising reset reliability. |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 3.500V ±2.5% (VTH = +3.5V) - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at nominal 3.3V system rails. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms minimum (D3 option) - ensures µP completes power stabilization and internal initialization before release. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and supports direct connection to µP nRESET pins. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports wide-input systems including Li-ion, alkaline, and regulated 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V rails. |
| RESET Validity Limit | Guaranteed to VCC = +1.1V - maintains valid logic state during deep brownout, preventing spurious release. |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup - simplifies manual reset implementation using momentary switch to GND. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount, footprint compatible with industry-standard 5-pin SOT23 layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives high during reset assertion; requires no external pullup; sinks/source capability defined per electrical specs. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane; shared return for all internal circuitry. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); asserts reset when pulled ≤0.3×VCC for ≥1µs. |
| 4 | GND | Second ground terminal - electrically tied to Pin 2 internally; improves noise immunity and thermal dissipation. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for reset generation; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for noise rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current - extends battery life in glucose monitors and wearables beyond 5 years on CR2032. |
| Reset threshold accuracy | ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for system-level calibration in portable medical devices. |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches <40µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets in noisy automotive or industrial environments. |
| No external components | Self-contained supervision - removes BOM cost and layout area for RC networks or discrete comparators. |
| Guaranteed RESET down to 1.1V | Valid logic state maintained during deep undervoltage - ensures deterministic µP behavior even during catastrophic rail collapse. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3837K33DBVR | 3.08V fixed threshold (±1.5%), 200ms timeout, open-drain RESET, 1.6µA ICC | Lacks MR input; requires external pullup; higher supply current limits battery lifetime | Choose only if 3.08V threshold matches system rail and open-drain interface is required. |
| MAX6315US35D3+ | 3.5V threshold (±2.0%), 140ms timeout, push-pull active-low RESET, 1.2µA ICC | Active-low output incompatible with µPs requiring high-true reset; higher ICC reduces battery runtime | Select only for legacy designs using active-low reset architecture and where 1.2µA ICC is acceptable. |
Compared with TPS3837K33DBVR and MAX6315US35D3+, the MAX6855UK35D3+T delivers superior energy efficiency (170nA vs >1µA), guaranteed 1.1V RESET validity, integrated MR with internal pullup, and active-high push-pull output - making it optimal for next-generation ultra-low-power medical and portable electronics.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6855UK35D3+T?
The MAX6855UK35D3+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.500V with ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the datasheet, where suffix '35' corresponds to VTH = 3.500V. The MAX6855UK35D3+T maintains this accuracy without external calibration or trimming components.
Does the MAX6855UK35D3+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6855UK35D3+T does not include a watchdog timer. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description sections, only MAX6864–MAX6869 variants feature WDI input and watchdog timeout functionality. The MAX6855UK35D3+T provides voltage monitoring, manual reset (MR), and fixed reset timeout - but no watchdog circuitry.
What is the function of Pin 1 and Pin 4 on the MAX6855UK35D3+T?
On the MAX6855UK35D3+T, Pin 1 is the active-high push-pull RESET output, and Pin 4 is a second ground (GND) terminal - electrically tied to Pin 2. This dual-GND configuration improves noise immunity and thermal performance in compact PCB layouts. The MAX6855UK35D3+T pinout is explicitly shown in the "MAX6854/MAX6855/MAX6856 Pin Description" section of the datasheet.
Can the MAX6855UK35D3+T operate reliably below 1.8V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6855UK35D3+T operates from VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.1V. Electrical Characteristics confirm supply voltage range (MIN = 1.2V, TYP = 2.5V, MAX = 5.5V), and the "RESET Valid to VCC = +1.1V" feature ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout - critical for low-voltage battery systems.
Is the MAX6855UK35D3+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX685x family?
The MAX6855UK35D3+T shares the same 5-pin SOT23-5 package and pinout as MAX6854 and MAX6856 variants, but differs in RESET polarity: MAX6855UK35D3+T uses active-high push-pull (Pin 1), while MAX6854 uses active-low push-pull and MAX6856 uses active-low open-drain. Direct substitution requires verification of RESET polarity and output drive requirements in the target design.
