Product details
Overview
MAX6865UK18D3S+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%), 300ms 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 MAX6865UK18D3S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK18D3S+T pinout, MAX6865UK18D3S+T application, or MAX6865UK18D3S+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8V reset threshold accuracy, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, 3.3s watchdog timeout option (S-suffix), and compatibility with low-voltage µP systems requiring <200nA quiescent current.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK18D3S+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 2.5% threshold tolerance over -40°C to +85°C, coupled with a digital watchdog timer that clears on any WDI edge and expires if WDI remains static beyond 3.3s (typ). Its internal MR pullup (10kΩ) enables direct switch interface without external components.
RESET assertion is synchronized to VCC crossing the 1.8V threshold, with a fixed 300ms (min) timeout after VCC recovery and MR deassertion. The active-high push-pull output drives directly to VCC, eliminating need for external pullups and supporting logic-level compatibility with 1.8V–5.5V µPs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.800V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed for stable brownout detection at 1.8V rail |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Reset Timeout | 300ms (min) - ensures µP completes power-up initialization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 3.3s (typ), S-suffix - detects firmware hangs in low-duty-cycle embedded applications |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V systems |
| RESET Validity | Guaranteed to VCC = +1.1V - maintains valid reset signal during deep brownout |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low, internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ) - accepts CMOS or open-drain drive |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free (RoHS-compliant), footprint compatible with industry-standard 5-pin SOT23 layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives high during fault; no external pullup required |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - initiates reset when pulled low; internally pulled up to VCC |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive; clears internal timer on rising/falling transitions |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored rail; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects ≤40µs glitches at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets in noisy power environments |
| No external components | Integrated MR pullup (10kΩ), precision voltage reference, and watchdog timer eliminate BOM parts |
| Valid RESET at low VCC | RESET remains functional down to VCC = +1.1V - critical for graceful shutdown in brownout conditions |
| Watchdog edge sensitivity | Detects WDI pulses as short as 150ns - supports high-frequency software heartbeat signaling |
Applications
| Glucose Monitors | Patient Monitoring Devices |

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 timeout; 1.6µA ICC | Lacks watchdog functionality; higher supply current limits battery life | Select only if system requires 3.3V supervision without watchdog and can tolerate higher ICC |
| STM6315SW13F | 1.3V reset threshold; 200ms timeout; no watchdog; 1.2µA ICC; push-pull active-low RESET | Lower threshold incompatible with 1.8V systems; active-low output requires level-shifting for some µPs | Use only for 1.3V rail monitoring; not suitable as direct replacement for MAX6865UK18D3S+T's 1.8V/WDI function set |
Compared with TPS3836K33DBVR and STM6315SW13F, the MAX6865UK18D3S+T uniquely combines 1.8V precision reset, 3.3s watchdog, and 170nA ICC in a single SOT23-5 package - making it irreplaceable for long-life, low-voltage medical and wearable applications requiring both voltage and software supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK18D3S+T?
The MAX6865UK18D3S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 1.800V with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C, confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) where suffix "18" corresponds to 1.8V nominal. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external calibration.
Does the MAX6865UK18D3S+T support active-high or active-low reset output?
The MAX6865UK18D3S+T provides an active-high push-pull RESET output, as indicated by its "65" part number in the Selector Guide and Pin Description section. Pin 1 drives high during reset assertion and low during normal operation - no external pullup resistor is needed.
What is the watchdog timeout period for the MAX6865UK18D3S+T?
The MAX6865UK18D3S+T features a 3.3s typical watchdog timeout period, denoted by the "S" suffix in its order code. Electrical Characteristics table confirms "S" corresponds to min/typ/max of 1.5s/3.3s/7.75s, optimized for detecting firmware stalls in intermittently active embedded systems.
Can the MAX6865UK18D3S+T operate reliably below 1.8V?
Yes - the MAX6865UK18D3S+T guarantees valid RESET operation down to VCC = +1.1V, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. Its internal circuitry remains functional and asserts RESET correctly even as VCC falls below the 1.8V threshold, enabling controlled shutdown.
Is the MR input of the MAX6865UK18D3S+T internally pulled up?
Yes, the MR input of the MAX6865UK18D3S+T includes an internal 10kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, as documented in the Pin Description and Detailed Description sections. This allows direct connection of a momentary switch from MR to GND without external components, and supports CMOS-level logic drive.
