Product details
Overview
MAX6855UK44D5+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring active-high push-pull reset output, 4.266V (min) factory-trimmed reset threshold, 300ms minimum reset timeout period, and manual reset input. It monitors VCC supply integrity and asserts reset during power-up, brownout, or operator-initiated recovery in ultra-low-power portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6855UK44D5+T datasheet, MAX6855UK44D5+T pinout, MAX6855UK44D5+T application, or MAX6855UK44D5+T equivalent, this device serves as a precision voltage monitor with deterministic reset timing, low-quiescent-current supervision, and CMOS-compatible manual reset interface for battery-critical embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6855UK44D5+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with 2.5% threshold tolerance and hysteresis of 0.5% VTH to prevent chatter near trip point. Its internal timer guarantees reset assertion for ≥300ms after VCC rises above 4.266V and MR deasserts.
It features an internally pulled-up MR input (10kΩ to VCC), glitch rejection of 200ns, and MR-to-reset delay of 250ns. Reset output remains valid down to VCC = +1.1V, supporting reliable initialization in deep-brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.266V (min), factory-trimmed - ensures accurate detection of 4.3V nominal supply collapse |
| Reset Timeout Period | 300ms (min) - guarantees µP reset hold time sufficient for full core initialization |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports supervision of 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V rails |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup and drives high-impedance µP inputs directly |
| VCC Validity Limit | Reset asserted down to VCC = 1.1V - maintains functional reset behavior deeper into brownout than most competitors |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup - simplifies manual reset switch design without external components |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23 (lead-free, RoHS-compliant).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin directly; sinks/source current per VOH/VOL specs |
| 2, 4 | GND | Ground reference - both pins must be connected to common system ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - logic low initiates reset; internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ) |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored rail; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 170nA typical - extends battery life in glucose monitors and wearables beyond 5 years |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.266V (min) - eliminates external resistor divider and calibration overhead |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 1.1V | Ensures reset assertion even during severe brownout - prevents undefined µP state |
| No external components required | Integrated MR pullup, precision reference, and timing - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects ≤40µs glitches at 100mV overdrive - avoids false resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Portable Medical Devices | Battery-Powered IoT Sensors |
|---|---|

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 reset threshold; 200ms reset timeout; open-drain output | Lacks MR input; requires external pullup; lower threshold unsuitable for 4.3V rail monitoring | Select only if 3.3V rail supervision and no manual reset are acceptable |
| ADM6806-43ARTZ-R7 | 4.33V threshold (±1.5%); 200ms timeout; push-pull active-low output | Active-low output requires level-shifting for µPs with active-high reset; no MR pin | Choose when active-low reset interface is already designed and MR functionality is unused |
Compared with TPS3837K33DBVR and ADM6806-43ARTZ-R7, the MAX6855UK44D5+T uniquely combines 4.266V threshold accuracy, 300ms timeout, active-high push-pull output, and integrated MR-enabling single-chip, zero-BOM-supervision for 4.3V systems with manual recovery capability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6855UK44D5+T?
The MAX6855UK44D5+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.266V (minimum), 4.375V (typical), and 4.484V (maximum) - corresponding to suffix "44" per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide. This ensures precise supervision of 4.3V nominal rails without external calibration.
Does MAX6855UK44D5+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6855UK44D5+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 exclusive to MAX6864–MAX6869 variants (e.g., MAX6864UK44D5S+T).
What is the reset timeout period for MAX6855UK44D5+T?
The MAX6855UK44D5+T has a 300ms minimum reset timeout period (suffix "D5"), with typical value 450ms and maximum 600ms. This duration ensures reliable µP core and peripheral initialization before release, meeting JEDEC JESD78 requirements for reset hold time.
Is MAX6855UK44D5+T compatible with 1.8V microcontrollers?
Yes, MAX6855UK44D5+T operates from 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1.1V. Its active-high push-pull RESET output meets VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC and VOL ≤ 0.3V across 1.8V–5.5V, ensuring direct interface with 1.8V logic without level shifters.
How is the manual reset input (MR) configured on MAX6855UK44D5+T?
The MR pin on MAX6855UK44D5+T is active-low with an internal 10kΩ pullup to VCC. Driving MR to GND initiates reset; releasing it allows reset to remain asserted for the full 300ms timeout. No external components are needed - a simple momentary switch from MR to GND suffices.
