Product details
Overview
The MAX6864UK41D3S+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, combining voltage monitoring (reset threshold = 4.100V), manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer (timeout = 3.3s typ) with ultra-low 170nA typical supply current. It asserts an active-low push-pull RESET output during VCC brownout, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout-ensuring reliable startup and fault recovery in battery-powered medical and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6864UK41D3S+T datasheet, MAX6864UK41D3S+T pinout, MAX6864UK41D3S+T application, or MAX6864UK41D3S+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.100V factory-trimmed reset threshold, 150ms minimum reset timeout, 3.3s watchdog period, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, and immunity to short VCC transients ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive.
Technical Context
This device integrates a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor, a monostable watchdog timer triggered by WDI edge transitions, and a manual reset latch-all operating from 1.2V to 5.5V supply. Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup and glitch rejection (200ns) eliminate external components for basic reset functionality.
The watchdog timer clears on any rising or falling edge at WDI and expires only if WDI remains static beyond 3.3s (typ); reset assertion persists for 150ms (min) after VCC recovery, MR deassertion, or watchdog expiration-enabling robust code-execution supervision without software overhead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.100V ±2.5% - precisely monitors 4.1V rails; valid down to VCC = 1.1V |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at +25°C - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms (min) - ensures µP initialization completes before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 3.3s (typ) - balances supervision responsiveness and software execution margin |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low RESET - drives directly into µP reset pin; no external pullup needed |
| MR Input | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup - supports momentary switch or CMOS logic interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6865UK41D3S+T | Active-high push-pull RESET output instead of active-low | Requires µP with active-high reset input; incompatible with standard active-low reset pins | Select when host µP reset pin is active-high and board layout cannot accommodate inversion |
| TPS3836K33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; no watchdog timer; 2.5µA ICC (15× higher) | Lacks code-execution supervision; suited only for basic power-monitoring, not safety-critical firmware recovery | Choose only if watchdog functionality is unnecessary and 3.3V rail monitoring suffices |
Compared with MAX6864UK41D3S+T, MAX6865UK41D3S+T offers identical timing and thresholds but inverted RESET polarity-requiring µP compatibility verification-while TPS3836K33DBVR omits watchdog capability and draws significantly more current, limiting battery lifetime in portable medical devices.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6864UK41D3S+T?
The MAX6864UK41D3S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.100V with ±2.5% tolerance across -40°C to +85°C. This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the datasheet, where suffix "41" corresponds to 4.100V nominal. The device guarantees valid RESET operation down to VCC = +1.1V, making it suitable for brownout detection in systems with tight supply margins.
Does the MAX6864UK41D3S+T include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout period?
Yes, the MAX6864UK41D3S+T includes a watchdog timer with a typical timeout period of 3.3 seconds, indicated by the "S" suffix in the part number. The timer resets on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and expires only if WDI remains static beyond this period. It is designed to detect firmware hangs in µP-based systems without requiring software polling or complex configuration.
What is the reset timeout duration for the MAX6864UK41D3S+T, and how is it set?
The MAX6864UK41D3S+T has a fixed minimum reset timeout period of 150ms, denoted by the "D3" suffix. This value is factory-set and non-adjustable-unlike the MAX6861–MAX6863 series, which use the CT pin for selection. The 150ms duration ensures sufficient time for µP power stabilization and internal register initialization before release.
What type of reset output does the MAX6864UK41D3S+T provide, and how is it configured?
The MAX6864UK41D3S+T provides an active-low push-pull RESET output (pin 1), eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor. This configuration directly drives standard µP reset inputs that require an active-low signal. The output sinks ≥500µA at VCC ≥2.38V and remains valid down to VCC = +1.1V, ensuring robust reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions.
Is the MAX6864UK41D3S+T compatible with 1.8V or 2.5V supply rails?
Yes, the MAX6864UK41D3S+T operates across a VCC range of 1.2V to 5.5V and maintains full functionality-including 170nA supply current, 4.100V threshold accuracy, and 3.3s watchdog timing-at 1.8V and 2.5V. Electrical characteristics tables confirm performance at these voltages, and the device's guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = +1.1V ensures compatibility with low-voltage µPs in deep-sleep states.
