Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK24D6L+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, combining voltage monitoring (2.4V reset threshold), manual reset input, and watchdog timer with 209s typical timeout. It asserts an active-high push-pull RESET output when VCC drops below threshold, MR is asserted, or watchdog expires - ensuring reliable boot-up and fault recovery in ultra-low-power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK24D6L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK24D6L+T pinout, MAX6865UK24D6L+T application, or MAX6865UK24D6L+T equivalent, this device is selected for battery-powered medical monitors, portable instrumentation, and embedded controllers requiring guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V, <170nA supply current, and immunity to short VCC transients.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, coupled with a digitally timed watchdog circuit that clears on any WDI edge and times out after 209s (typ) if inactive. The internal reset timeout is fixed at 1200ms (D6 option), and the active-high push-pull RESET output is referenced to VCC with VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA.
It features a 10kΩ internal MR pullup, 150ns minimum WDI pulse width detection, and guaranteed operation from -40°C to +85°C. The watchdog timeout exhibits <±20% variation over temperature, and the device remains functional with VCC as low as 1.2V - critical for brownout resilience in single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.400V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5% over temp) - ensures precise power-rail supervision for 2.5V logic domains |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on wearable sensors |
| Reset Timeout | 1200ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for slow-starting µPs and peripheral initialization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s (typ), L-suffix - supports long-cycle firmware tasks without spurious resets |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup and simplifies interface to µP reset inputs |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), NiMH, and 3.3V/5V systems |
| Reset Validity Limit | Guaranteed to VCC = +1.1V - ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount. Compact footprint (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm) suitable for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin directly; sinks/source up to 500µA |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity and accurate threshold sensing |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); accepts CMOS logic levels |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive (rising/falling); clears internal timer on each transition; min pulse width 150ns |
| 5 | VCC | Supply and monitored rail - powers device and serves as voltage sense input; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current - extends battery life in glucose monitors and remote sensors |
| Watchdog immunity | Clears on any WDI edge - prevents false timeouts during periodic polling or interrupt-driven code flow |
| VCC transient rejection | Immune to ≤40µs transients at 100mV overdrive - avoids nuisance resets in noisy DC-DC environments |
| No external components | Self-contained supervision - eliminates discrete R/C networks and reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Reset validity at low VCC | Functional down to VCC = +1.1V - ensures reset assertion integrity during deep discharge or cold-temperature operation |
Applications
| Portable Glucose Monitors | Patient Vital Sign Loggers |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises buck-regulated 2.4V rail and initiates clean restart after brownout caused by load switching transients. Use Value: 170nA quiescent current contributes <0.15µA average to total system sleep current, preserving battery longevity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK24D6L+T | Same 2.4V threshold, 1200ms timeout, 209s watchdog, but active-low push-pull RESET output | Requires µP with active-low reset input; incompatible with active-high-only reset pins | Select when interfacing to legacy µPs expecting active-low reset assertion |
| TPS3838K25DBVR | 2.5V threshold, 200ms timeout, no watchdog, 1.6µA ICC - higher current, shorter timeout, no WDI function | Suitable only for basic power-on reset; cannot replace watchdog functionality in safety-critical firmware monitoring | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-watchdog applications where 2.5V threshold suffices and 1.6µA ICC is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6864UK24D6L+T and TPS3838K25DBVR, the MAX6865UK24D6L+T uniquely delivers active-high reset signaling *plus* 209s watchdog supervision at nanopower levels - making it the sole fit for new designs requiring both features in space- and energy-constrained medical devices.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK24D6L+T?
The MAX6865UK24D6L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.400V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the datasheet, where suffix "24" corresponds to 2.400V nominal. The device asserts reset when VCC falls below this threshold and holds reset for 1200ms after VCC rises above it.
Does the MAX6865UK24D6L+T support active-high or active-low reset output?
The MAX6865UK24D6L+T provides an active-high push-pull RESET output, as confirmed by its pin description (Pin 1 = RESET, active-high) and Selector Guide entry. Unlike the MAX6864 variant, it does not assert low on fault - instead, it drives high during reset assertion. This matches µPs with active-high reset inputs and eliminates external pullup requirements.
What is the watchdog timeout period for the MAX6865UK24D6L+T?
The MAX6865UK24D6L+T uses the "L" watchdog suffix, specifying a typical timeout period of 209s, with min/max bounds of 95s and 487s respectively. This long timeout is designed for firmware with extended idle or measurement cycles, and the timer clears on every rising or falling edge at the WDI pin - preventing false timeouts during normal operation.
Can the MAX6865UK24D6L+T operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes - the MAX6865UK24D6L+T guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, as explicitly stated in the Electrical Characteristics table and Applications Information section. Its supply voltage range is 1.2V to 5.5V, and internal circuitry remains functional and deterministic even during deep brownout conditions common in single-cell battery systems.
Is the MAX6865UK24D6L+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX68xx family?
The MAX6865UK24D6L+T uses the standard 5-pin SOT23-5 package and shares identical pinout with MAX6864/MAX6866 variants (Pin 1=RESET, Pin 2=GND, Pin 3=MR, Pin 4=WDI, Pin 5=VCC). However, it is *not* pin-compatible with MAX6861–MAX6863 (which use CT instead of WDI) or MAX6854–MAX6856 (which lack WDI). Always verify function mapping before substitution.
