Product details
Overview
MAX6858UK16D3 from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 1.575V reset threshold (suffix '16'), and 150ms minimum reset timeout (suffix 'D3'). It monitors VCC, asserts active-low push-pull RESET on undervoltage or manual reset, and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = +1.1V. It is used in battery-powered glucose monitors and portable medical devices requiring long-term power integrity.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6858UK16D3 datasheet, MAX6858UK16D3 pinout, MAX6858UK16D3 application, or MAX6858UK16D3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, exact pin functions for I.C./GND/RESET/VCC configuration, timeout behavior under brownout, and validated alternatives for low-power µP reset supervision in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6858UK16D3 implements a precision voltage monitor with ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, hysteresis of 0.5% VTH, and immunity to VCC transients ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive. Its internal timer enforces a guaranteed minimum 150ms reset assertion after VCC recovery or MR deassertion.
No watchdog timer or manual reset input is present - the MAX6858 variant excludes both MR and WDI pins, using pins 1 and 2 as internally connected (I.C.) terminals tied to GND for enhanced noise immunity. Reset assertion is solely triggered by VCC falling below 1.575V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typical at +25°C; enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices. |
| Reset Threshold | 1.575V ±2.5%; factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection in 1.8V/2.5V systems. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum (D3 option); ensures µP initialization completes before release from reset. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports operation down to near-threshold voltages in ultra-low-power states. |
| Reset Validity | Guaranteed to VCC = +1.1V; maintains deterministic reset state during deep brownout. |
| Package | 5-pin SOT23; footprint-compatible with industry-standard supervisory ICs for drop-in layout reuse. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and portable medical environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6858UK16D3 uses a 5-pin SOT23 package with pins 1 and 2 designated as internally connected (I.C.) terminals - both must be connected to GND per datasheet guidance to maximize noise immunity. Pin 3 is GND, pin 4 is active-low push-pull RESET output, and pin 5 is VCC supply input.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | I.C. (Internally Connected) | Must connect both to GND; improves noise rejection in high-EMI portable medical systems. |
| 3 | GND | Primary ground reference; all internal circuits referenced to this node. |
| 4 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output; drives µP reset pin directly without external pullup. |
| 5 | VCC | Monitored supply input; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for transient suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current enables multi-year operation on CR2032 batteries. |
| No external components | Self-contained reset generation - no RC timing network or pullup resistors required. |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤40µs duration at 100mV overdrive, preventing spurious resets. |
| Valid reset at low VCC | RESET remains functional down to VCC = +1.1V, ensuring reliability during deep brownout. |
| SOT23 footprint | 5-pin SOT23 package fits <1.5mm² PCB area - ideal for compact wearable and diagnostic devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold; 200ms timeout; 1.25µA ICC; SOT23-5 | Higher supply current limits battery lifetime in multi-year devices | Select when 3.3V rail monitoring is required and ultra-low ICC is secondary |
| STM6315RWX6F | 1.63V threshold; 200ms timeout; 400nA ICC; SOT23-5 | Wider threshold tolerance (±3.5%) and no I.C. pins for noise immunity | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial sensors where 1.63V vs. 1.575V threshold is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6858UK16D3, TPS3836K33DBVR consumes ~7× more current and lacks I.C.-grounded noise hardening, while STM6315RWX6F trades 60mV higher threshold and looser accuracy for marginally lower cost - neither offers identical 1.575V/150ms/I.C.-GND combination.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6858UK16D3?
The MAX6858UK16D3 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of +1.575V, 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 '16' explicitly maps to 1.575V. The device guarantees reset assertion when VCC falls below this level and maintains reset until VCC exceeds 1.575V plus hysteresis (0.5% of VTH).
Does MAX6858UK16D3 include a manual reset input or watchdog timer?
No, MAX6858UK16D3 does not include MR or WDI functionality. As shown in the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations, MAX6858 uses pins 1 and 2 as internally connected (I.C.) terminals - not MR or WDI - and provides only VCC monitoring with fixed 150ms reset timeout. This distinguishes it from MAX6854/MAX6864 variants that include manual reset or watchdog features.
What is the purpose of the I.C. pins on MAX6858UK16D3?
Pins 1 and 2 of MAX6858UK16D3 are labeled I.C. (Internally Connected) and must both be connected to GND per the datasheet's Pin Configurations and Applications Information sections. This dual-GND connection enhances noise immunity in electrically noisy portable medical environments, reducing susceptibility to false resets caused by EMI or supply transients.
Can MAX6858UK16D3 drive a microcontroller reset pin directly?
Yes, MAX6858UK16D3 features an active-low push-pull RESET output (pin 4) that can directly drive standard CMOS µP reset inputs without external pullup resistors. Its VOL is ≤0.3V at ISINK = 1.2mA (VCC ≥ 2.38V), ensuring solid logic-low assertion, and VOH reaches 0.8 × VCC when deasserted - fully compatible with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic families.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6858UK16D3 guarantees valid reset operation?
MAX6858UK16D3 guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.1V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Below this voltage, reset behavior is not characterized - but above 1.1V, the device ensures deterministic assertion/deassertion timing and output drive strength, critical for reliable brownout recovery in low-voltage battery systems.
