Product details
Overview
The MAX6855UK40D2+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 4.000V reset threshold (±2.5%), and 40ms minimum reset timeout period. It provides active-high push-pull RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and operates across -40°C to +85°C for reliable power-up/brownout monitoring in battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6855UK40D2+T datasheet, MAX6855UK40D2+T pinout, MAX6855UK40D2+T application, or MAX6855UK40D2+T equivalent, this device serves as a low-power voltage monitor with deterministic reset timing, MR-triggered recovery, and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V - critical for portable medical and handheld electronics design validation.
Technical Context
The MAX6855UK40D2+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis (0.5% of VTH) to detect VCC falling below its 4.000V threshold. Its internal timer ensures RESET remains asserted for ≥40ms after VCC rises above threshold and MR deasserts, independent of supply slew rate.
This variant belongs to the MAX6854–MAX6869 family but excludes watchdog timer (WDI) and CT select functionality. It delivers active-high push-pull RESET referenced to VCC, with VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA and VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 1.2mA - enabling direct interface with 1.8V–5.5V µP reset inputs without external level-shifting.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3837K33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold; 200ms reset timeout; open-drain RESET; 1.6µA ICC | Higher supply current limits battery life; open-drain requires external pullup | Select when 3.3V rail supervision is primary requirement and board space allows pullup resistor |
| STM6315SW13F | 3.08V threshold; 140ms timeout; push-pull active-low RESET; 1.2µA ICC | Active-low output incompatible with µPs requiring active-high reset; higher ICC reduces runtime | Choose only if legacy design uses active-low reset and 3.08V threshold matches existing LDO |
Compared with MAX6855UK40D2+T, TPS3837K33DBVR offers longer timeout but consumes ~7× more current and lacks 4.000V precision; STM6315SW13F provides lower-cost supervision but sacrifices nanopower operation and exact 4.000V threshold alignment needed for 3.3V/5V dual-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6855UK40D2+T?
The MAX6855UK40D2+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.000V 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 "40" corresponds to 4.000V nominal. The MAX6855UK40D2+T maintains this specification without external calibration or trimming components.
Does the MAX6855UK40D2+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6855UK40D2+T does not include a watchdog timer. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description sections, only MAX6864–MAX6869 variants feature WDI input. The MAX6855UK40D2+T is a manual-reset-only supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull RESET, MR input, and fixed 40ms timeout - identical in functionality to MAX6854/MAX6856 but with different reset polarity and threshold.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6855UK40D2+T guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX6855UK40D2+T guarantees RESET output validity down to VCC = +1.1V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions, unlike many supervisors that fail below 1.5V. The guarantee applies to both assertion and deassertion timing integrity.
Can the MAX6855UK40D2+T drive a microprocessor reset pin directly without external components?
Yes, the MAX6855UK40D2+T can drive a µP reset pin directly. Its active-high push-pull RESET output eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor, and it sources/sinks sufficient current (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at 500µA, VOL ≤ 0.3V at 1.2mA) to meet standard µP reset input thresholds across 1.8V–5.5V supply ranges. No additional passive components are required for basic operation.
What package type and lead finish does MAX6855UK40D2+T use?
The MAX6855UK40D2+T uses a 5-pin SOT23-5 package with lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish, indicated by the "+T" suffix per Maxim's ordering convention. It is compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles and occupies minimal PCB area - critical for space-constrained portable designs. Pin 2 and Pin 4 are both GND terminals and must be connected to the same ground plane.
