Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK20D2S+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, combining voltage monitoring, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer functionality. It asserts an active-high push-pull RESET output when VCC drops below 2.000V (±2.5%), MR is asserted, or the watchdog expires after 3.3s (typ). Designed for ultra-low-power systems, it draws only 170nA (typ) at 2.5V and guarantees valid reset operation down to VCC = +1.1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK20D2S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK20D2S+T pinout, MAX6865UK20D2S+T application, or MAX6865UK20D2S+T equivalent, this device serves as a critical power-on reset and software fault monitor in battery-constrained embedded systems where supply current, brownout immunity, and watchdog timeout precision are design-critical.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK20D2S+T implements a factory-trimmed 2.000V reset threshold with ±2.5% tolerance over –40°C to +85°C and integrates a watchdog timer with 3.3s typical timeout (S-suffix), triggered by absence of edges on WDI. Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup and glitch rejection (200ns) enable robust manual reset without external components.
This variant features an active-high push-pull RESET output referenced to VCC, a fixed 40ms minimum reset timeout (D2 option), and operates across VCC = 1.2V–5.5V. It guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1.1V and exhibits immunity to VCC transients ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK20D2S+T | Identical specs except active-low push-pull RESET output | Requires µP with active-low reset input; no level-shifting needed | Select when interfacing to legacy µPs expecting active-low reset assertion |
| TPS3836K20DBVR | 2.0V threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no watchdog, 3.5µA ICC | Lacks watchdog functionality; higher supply current limits battery life | Choose only if watchdog is unnecessary and longer reset hold time is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6865UK20D2S+T, MAX6864UK20D2S+T offers identical supervision but inverted reset polarity, while TPS3836K20DBVR trades watchdog capability and nanopower operation for lower cost and wider availability-making it suitable only for non-safety-critical, mains-powered designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK20D2S+T?
The MAX6865UK20D2S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.000V 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 "20" corresponds to 2.000V nominal. The device guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, making it suitable for deep-brownout scenarios in the MAX6865UK20D2S+T application space.
Does the MAX6865UK20D2S+T include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout?
Yes, the MAX6865UK20D2S+T includes a watchdog timer with a typical timeout of 3.3s, indicated by the "S" suffix in the part number. The timer expires if no rising or falling edge occurs on the WDI pin within that period. It is cleared automatically on RESET assertion, MR activation, or any WDI edge-ensuring robust firmware supervision in the MAX6865UK20D2S+T implementation.
What type of RESET output does the MAX6865UK20D2S+T provide?
The MAX6865UK20D2S+T provides an active-high push-pull RESET output (Pin 1), meaning it drives high during reset assertion and returns low when deasserted. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and simplifies interface to microprocessors with active-high reset inputs-confirmed in the MAX6865UK20D2S+T pin description and Selector Guide.
What is the minimum reset timeout period for the MAX6865UK20D2S+T?
The MAX6865UK20D2S+T has a fixed minimum reset timeout period of 40ms, denoted by the "D2" suffix. This value is specified in Table 4 (Reset Timeout Periods) as 40ms (min), 60ms (typ), and 80ms (max). The timeout begins after VCC rises above the 2.000V threshold and MR is deasserted, ensuring sufficient hold time for µP initialization in the MAX6865UK20D2S+T system.
Is the MAX6865UK20D2S+T compatible with 1.8V systems?
Yes, the MAX6865UK20D2S+T operates across VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.1V. Its 2.000V reset threshold is well-suited for monitoring 1.8V rails with adequate noise margin, and its 170nA supply current minimizes loading-making it ideal for 1.8V battery-powered applications such as those using the MAX6865UK20D2S+T in portable diagnostics.
