Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK23D4S+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 2.313V reset threshold, 1200ms minimum reset timeout, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer with 3.3s typical timeout. It monitors VCC in battery-powered medical and portable electronics to ensure reliable power-on reset and code-execution error recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK23D4S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK23D4S+T pinout, MAX6865UK23D4S+T application, or MAX6865UK23D4S+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, functional pin roles, real-world use cases in glucose monitors and patient monitors, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
This device integrates voltage monitoring, a manual reset input, and a watchdog timer in a single BiCMOS IC. It asserts an active-low push-pull RESET output when VCC falls below 2.313V, MR is pulled low, or the WDI input remains static beyond 3.3s (typ). The reset remains asserted for ≥1200ms after VCC recovers and MR deasserts.
It guarantees valid reset operation down to VCC = +1.1V, features 200ns MR glitch rejection, and supports noise immunity via internal 10kΩ MR pullup and 0.1µF VCC bypassing. The watchdog clears on any WDI edge and resumes timing only after reset deassertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typical at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on medical sensors. |
| Reset Threshold | 2.313V (±2.5%) - factory-trimmed to match 2.3V system rails without external resistors. |
| Reset Timeout | 1200ms minimum - ensures full µP initialization and firmware boot sequence completion. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 3.3s typical (S-suffix) - provides robust software hang detection without excessive false triggers. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports Li-ion, coin-cell, and multi-rail embedded systems. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup and drives standard CMOS inputs directly. |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup - simplifies manual reset button interface with no external components. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount, footprint compatible with industry-standard 5-pin SOT23 layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin directly; sinks 500µA at VCC ≥ 2.38V. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for stable reset timing and noise immunity. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; 200ns glitch rejection prevents spurious resets. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - toggling required every <3.3s; rising/falling edges clear internal timer and prevent reset assertion. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for brownout; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for transient immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical enables >10-year shelf life in disposable glucose monitors powered by CR2032 cells. |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, critical for safety-critical medical devices. |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects ≤40µs glitches at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets in noisy automotive or industrial environments. |
| No external components required | Integrates MR pullup, reset timeout generator, and watchdog logic - reduces BOM count and PCB area by ≥3 passives. |
| Watchdog pulse detection | Recognizes 150ns WDI pulses - supports high-frequency software heartbeat signals without timing margin loss. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK23D4S+T | No CT pin; identical 2.313V threshold, 1200ms timeout, and 3.3s watchdog - but lacks pin-selectable timeout option. | Suitable where fixed 1200ms reset is sufficient; not usable in designs requiring runtime timeout reconfiguration. | Select MAX6864UK23D4S+T when CT functionality is unused and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| TPS3836K23DBVR | 2.32V threshold, 1400ms timeout, no watchdog; 2.5µA ICC - 15× higher supply current than MAX6865UK23D4S+T. | Applicable in non-battery-critical industrial controls where watchdog is handled separately in firmware. | Choose TPS3836K23DBVR only if existing TI-based BOM mandates compatibility and ultra-low ICC is not required. |
Compared with MAX6864UK23D4S+T and TPS3836K23DBVR, the MAX6865UK23D4S+T uniquely combines sub-200nA ICC, integrated watchdog, and 2.313V precision threshold - making it the sole choice for multi-year battery life in Class II medical wearables.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK23D4S+T?
The MAX6865UK23D4S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.313V, 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 "23" corresponds to 2.313V nominal. The MAX6865UK23D4S+T maintains this accuracy without external calibration or resistor networks.
Does the MAX6865UK23D4S+T include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout?
Yes, the MAX6865UK23D4S+T includes a watchdog timer with a typical timeout of 3.3s, designated by the "S" suffix in the part number. The timer expires if the WDI pin remains static (high or low) beyond this period, triggering a reset for the full 1200ms timeout. The MAX6865UK23D4S+T watchdog clears on any WDI edge and resumes counting only after reset deassertion.
What is the function of Pin 4 (WDI) on the MAX6865UK23D4S+T?
Pin 4 (WDI) on the MAX6865UK23D4S+T is the watchdog input that monitors microprocessor activity. A rising or falling edge on WDI clears the internal watchdog timer; failure to toggle WDI within 3.3s (typ) causes reset assertion. The MAX6865UK23D4S+T detects pulses as short as 150ns and supports CMOS-level logic interfacing without external conditioning.
Can the MAX6865UK23D4S+T operate down to 1.2V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6865UK23D4S+T operates across VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = +1.1V. At 1.2V, its supply current is 190nA (typ), and RESET remains functional with VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 100µA. This makes the MAX6865UK23D4S+T suitable for single-cell LiFePO₄ or alkaline systems.
Is the MAX6865UK23D4S+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX68xx family?
The MAX6865UK23D4S+T uses the standard 5-pin SOT23-5 package and shares identical pinout with MAX6864/MAX6866/MAX6867–MAX6869 variants: Pin 1 = RESET, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = MR, Pin 4 = WDI, Pin 5 = VCC. This allows direct substitution within the same watchdog-enabled subgroup, provided reset threshold and timeout requirements align.
