Product details
Overview
MAX6855UK39D6+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring active-high push-pull reset output, 3.9V factory-trimmed reset threshold (±2.5%), 1200ms minimum reset timeout, manual reset input (MR), and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V. It monitors supply voltage for brownout detection in ultra-low-power portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6855UK39D6+T datasheet, MAX6855UK39D6+T pinout, MAX6855UK39D6+T application, or MAX6855UK39D6+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, MR timing behavior (250ns delay), immunity to short VCC transients, and compatibility with 1.2V–5.5V supply rails.
Technical Context
The MAX6855UK39D6+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 2.5% threshold hysteresis and internal reset timer logic. Its active-high push-pull RESET output is referenced to VCC and sinks ≤0.3V at 1.2mA load when asserted, while sourcing ≥0.8×VCC when deasserted.
It includes an internally pulled-up MR input (10kΩ) requiring only a 1µs minimum pulse width and rejecting glitches <200ns. No external components are needed - operation is self-contained within the 5-pin SOT23 footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.900V (min), 3.998V (typ), 4.095V (max); factory-trimmed ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C |
| Reset Timeout | 600ms (min), 900ms (typ), 1200ms (max); fixed D6 option ensures reliable µP initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at VCC = 1.8V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on medical and portable devices |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports single-cell Li-ion, coin-cell, and multi-rail embedded systems |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull; eliminates need for external pullup and simplifies interface to µP reset inputs |
| MR Input Behavior | Internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); accepts CMOS logic levels and requires no external debounce circuitry |
| Reset Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC = +1.1V; ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount. Compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint with 0.95mm height, optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; drives high upon VCC drop below threshold or MR assertion, remains high for full timeout period |
| 2, 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry; both pins must be connected to common system ground |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); asserts reset on logic-low transition |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input and monitored rail; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 170nA typical ICC enables >10-year battery life in glucose monitors and wearables |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.9V ±2.5% eliminates calibration overhead and reduces BOM count vs. adjustable supervisors |
| Fixed 1200ms reset timeout | D6 option ensures sufficient hold time for slow-starting µPs and peripherals after power recovery |
| MR glitch rejection | 200ns immunity prevents spurious resets from EMI or switch bounce in handheld interfaces |
| No external components required | Self-contained operation reduces PCB area, assembly cost, and qualification effort |
Applications
| Portable Medical Devices | Battery-Powered IoT Sensors |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous glucose monitoring patch operating from CR2032 coin cell with strict 10-year shelf-life requirement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting active-high RESET to ARM Cortex-M0+ during brownout, ensuring firmware restarts only after stable 3.3V rail recovery. Use Value: 170nA supply current extends battery life; 3.9V threshold matches LDO output tolerance; 1200ms timeout accommodates slow analog front-end stabilization. | Use Scenario: Wireless environmental sensor node powered by single alkaline AA cell, transmitting data every 5 minutes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit monitoring VCC decay and triggering controlled µP reset before undervoltage lockout corrupts flash writes. Use Value: Guaranteed reset validity to 1.1V prevents undefined state at end-of-life; MR pin allows OTA firmware update reset via GPIO. |
| Wearable Fitness Trackers | Low-Power Industrial Handhelds |
Use Scenario: Optical heart-rate monitor with photodiode array and BLE SoC, powered by rechargeable LiPo. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-high RESET output directly tied to SoC reset pin; MR used for user-initiated soft reset via capacitive button. Use Value: Push-pull output eliminates pullup resistor (saving board space); 250ns MR-to-reset delay ensures immediate response to user action. | Use Scenario: Ruggedized barcode scanner with cold-temperature operation (-20°C) and intermittent duty cycle. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brownout detector preventing corrupted EEPROM writes during battery swap or low-temp discharge. Use Value: Reset threshold hysteresis (0.5%VTH) avoids chatter near trip point; 1.2V–5.5V range supports wide-input buck-boost regulator output. |
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, 200ms timeout, open-drain output, 1.6µA ICC | Lacks MR input; higher supply current limits battery lifetime in multi-year deployments | Select when lower-cost open-drain interface suffices and MR is not required |
| STM6315SW39FD6F | 3.9V threshold, 1200ms timeout, push-pull active-low output, 1.2µA ICC | Active-low RESET requires level-shifting or µP compatibility check; no MR pin | Choose for ST ecosystem designs where active-low reset is standard and MR is unused |
Compared with TPS3837K33DBVR and STM6315SW39FD6F, the MAX6855UK39D6+T uniquely combines ultra-low 170nA current, active-high push-pull output, and integrated MR-enabling simpler, longer-life designs without external components or logic inversion.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6855UK39D6+T?
The MAX6855UK39D6+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.900V (minimum), 3.998V (typical), and 4.095V (maximum) at -40°C to +85°C, with ±2.5% tolerance. This corresponds to the "39" suffix per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide (Table 2), and is guaranteed over temperature and supply voltage variations.
Does MAX6855UK39D6+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6855UK39D6+T does not include a watchdog timer. It belongs to the MAX6854/MAX6855/MAX6856 subgroup, which provides voltage monitoring and manual reset only. Watchdog functionality is present only in MAX6864–MAX6869 variants (e.g., MAX6864UK39D6S+T).
What is the reset timeout period for MAX6855UK39D6+T?
The MAX6855UK39D6+T uses the D6 reset timeout option, providing a minimum reset timeout period of 600ms, typical of 900ms, and maximum of 1200ms after VCC rises above the reset threshold or MR is deasserted. This fixed timeout ensures reliable µP initialization in slow-starting systems.
Can MAX6855UK39D6+T operate with supply voltages below 1.8V?
Yes, the MAX6855UK39D6+T operates from VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V. At 1.2V, its supply current is 190nA (typ), making it suitable for single-cell NiMH or low-VCC energy-harvesting systems.
Is MAX6855UK39D6+T pin-compatible with other MAX685x devices?
Yes, all MAX6854/MAX6855/MAX6856/MAX6858/MAX6860–MAX6869 devices share identical 5-pin SOT23-5 pinouts and footprints. The MAX6855UK39D6+T uses pins 1 (RESET), 2/4 (GND), 3 (MR), and 5 (VCC), matching the mechanical and solder-layout requirements of the full family.
