Product details
Overview
MAX6865UK18D2S+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 1.8V reset threshold (±2.5%), 40ms minimum reset timeout, and integrated watchdog timer with 3.3s typical timeout. It monitors VCC, responds to manual reset (MR), and asserts active-high push-pull RESET during brownout or watchdog expiration - used in battery-powered glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK18D2S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK18D2S+T pinout, MAX6865UK18D2S+T application, or MAX6865UK18D2S+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to sub-40µs VCC transients, MR glitch rejection (200ns), and compatibility with 1.2V–5.5V supply rails in space-constrained portable systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK18D2S+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 0.5% hysteresis, a digital watchdog timer cleared on WDI edge transitions, and a fixed 40ms reset timeout after VCC recovery or MR deassertion. Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup and CMOS-compatible WDI input enable direct interfacing with µP GPIO without external biasing.
Unlike basic supervisors, it combines three independent reset triggers - VCC undervoltage, manual reset assertion, and watchdog timeout - with synchronized timing control. The active-high push-pull RESET output drives directly into µP reset inputs without external pullups, and remains valid across full -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typ at +25°C - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on patient monitors. |
| Reset Threshold | 1.800V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at Li-ion single-cell discharge knee. |
| Reset Timeout | 40ms min - ensures µP completes power-rail stabilization before release from reset state. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 3.3s typ (S-suffix) - provides robust software hang detection without excessive CPU polling overhead. |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation across wide-input DC-DC outputs and legacy 3.3V/5V rails. |
| RESET Validity | Down to VCC = +1.1V - guarantees deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout conditions. |
| MR Glitch Rejection | 200ns - suppresses EMI-induced false resets in noisy handheld environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives µP reset input directly; no external pullup required; VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at 500µA source. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must connect to system ground plane; shared return for all internal circuits. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; accepts CMOS logic; 1µs minimum pulse width. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive (rising/falling); clears internal timer on transition; rejects pulses <150ns. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply and monitored rail - powers device and serves as reset trigger source; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in glucose meters using CR2032 cells. |
| Reset threshold accuracy | ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C ensures reliable brownout detection across environmental extremes. |
| No external components | Integrated MR pullup, precision voltage reference, and watchdog oscillator eliminate BOM cost and layout area. |
| VCC transient immunity | Immune to 100mV VCC glitches ≤40µs - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy portable enclosures. |
| Guaranteed RESET validity | RESET output functional down to VCC = +1.1V - critical for fail-safe behavior during deep undervoltage events. |
Applications
| Glucose Monitoring Systems | Patient Vital Sign Loggers |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; no watchdog; 200ms reset timeout; 1.6µA ICC. | Lacks WDI functionality; suitable only for simple power-monitoring, not code-execution supervision. | Select when watchdog capability is unnecessary and higher ICC is acceptable for cost-sensitive designs. |
| MAX6369KA29+T | 1.8V threshold; 200ms timeout; no MR input; 1.2µA ICC; open-drain RESET. | Requires external pullup; no manual reset provision; lower integration than MAX6865UK18D2S+T. | Choose for ultra-low-cost implementations where MR and push-pull drive are nonessential. |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6865UK18D2S+T?
The MAX6865UK18D2S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 1.800V with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C, corresponding to the "18" suffix per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is laser-trimmed during production and guaranteed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH parameter.
Does MAX6865UK18D2S+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK18D2S+T requires no external components for core functionality: it includes an internal 10kΩ MR pullup resistor, precision voltage reference, and watchdog oscillator. Only a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from VCC to GND is recommended for noise suppression - no resistors, capacitors, or additional ICs are needed.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of MAX6865UK18D2S+T?
The MAX6865UK18D2S+T features a watchdog timeout period of 3.3s typical (S-suffix), with min/max of 1.5s/7.75s. The timer resets on any rising or falling edge at WDI and expires only if WDI remains static beyond this period, triggering a full reset timeout cycle - distinct from simpler windowed watchdogs.
Can MAX6865UK18D2S+T operate with VCC below 1.8V?
Yes, the MAX6865UK18D2S+T operates with VCC as low as 1.2V and guarantees RESET assertion validity down to VCC = +1.1V. However, reset deassertion occurs only after VCC rises above 1.8V (threshold) plus hysteresis, so sustained operation below 1.8V keeps the device in reset - a designed safety feature.
Is MAX6865UK18D2S+T pin-compatible with other MAX68xx variants?
The MAX6865UK18D2S+T shares the identical 5-pin SOT23-5 pinout with all MAX6864–MAX6869 devices (e.g., MAX6864, MAX6866), including RESET (pin 1), GND (pin 2), MR (pin 3), WDI (pin 4), and VCC (pin 5). Pin compatibility is confirmed in the Pin Configurations section and Selector Guide.
