Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK25D1L+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 2.5V reset threshold (±2.5%), 10ms minimum reset timeout, and integrated watchdog timer with 209s typical timeout. It monitors VCC, responds to manual reset (MR), and asserts active-high push-pull RESET during brownout, power-up, or watchdog expiry - used in battery-powered glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK25D1L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK25D1L+T pinout, MAX6865UK25D1L+T application, or MAX6865UK25D1L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to sub-40µs VCC transients, MR glitch rejection of 200ns, and compatibility with 1.2V–5.5V supply rails in space-constrained portable systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 0.5% hysteresis, a digital watchdog timer that clears on any WDI edge (rising or falling), and a fixed 10ms internal reset timeout counter. The MR input features 10kΩ internal pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width requirement.
RESET assertion is synchronized to VCC crossing the threshold, with tRD < 40µs and guaranteed low-voltage operation to 1.1V. The watchdog timeout (209s typ) exhibits ±25% variation over temperature, and the device draws only 7–15µA when RESET is asserted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current (typ) | 170nA at VCC = 1.8V - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Reset Threshold | 2.5V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at 2.5V rail |
| Reset Timeout | 10ms min - ensures µP initialization completes before release from reset |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s typ (L-suffix) - supports long idle periods in low-power sleep modes |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - compatible with Li-ion, alkaline, and regulated 1.8V/3.3V systems |
| RESET Validity Limit | Down to VCC = +1.1V - guarantees deterministic reset state during deep brownout |
| MR Glitch Rejection | 200ns - suppresses noise-induced false resets in noisy industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, lead-free (RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives µP reset pin directly without external pullup; sinks 500µA at VCC ≥ 2.38V |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; accepts CMOS logic levels |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive (150ns min pulse); clears timer on rising/falling transition |
| 5 | VCC | Supply and monitored voltage - requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typ at 1.8V - reduces quiescent drain in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Reset threshold accuracy | ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for external calibration in medical-grade designs |
| Watchdog edge sensitivity | Detects 150ns WDI pulses - enables robust software heartbeat signaling without timing margin loss |
| VCC transient immunity | Immune to ≤40µs glitches at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in automotive or motor-driven systems |
| No external components | Self-contained supervision - no RC networks, pullups, or timing capacitors required |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK25D1L+T | Same 2.5V threshold, 10ms timeout, and 209s watchdog, but outputs active-low push-pull RESET | Requires inverted reset logic on µP side; incompatible with active-high reset inputs | Select MAX6864UK25D1L+T only when target µP accepts active-low RESET |
| TPS3836K25DBVR | 2.5V threshold, 200ms timeout (fixed), no watchdog, 1.6µA ICC, SOT23-5 | Lacks watchdog functionality; higher supply current limits battery lifetime in always-on use | Choose TPS3836K25DBVR only for cost-sensitive, non-watchdog applications where 200ms timeout is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6864UK25D1L+T, the MAX6865UK25D1L+T provides active-high RESET compatibility without level-shifting, while TPS3836K25DBVR trades off watchdog capability and ultra-low current for lower unit cost and simpler qualification.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK25D1L+T?
The MAX6865UK25D1L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.500V with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C, as specified in Table 2 (suffix "25") and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH parameter. This value is measured at VCC falling and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Does the MAX6865UK25D1L+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX6865UK25D1L+T uses an active-high push-pull RESET output, which actively drives high and low without external components. Unlike open-drain variants, it does not require a pullup resistor - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior when the WDI pin is left floating?
If WDI is left floating on the MAX6865UK25D1L+T, it will drift to an indeterminate state, likely causing the watchdog timer to expire within ~209s (typ), triggering a reset. The datasheet specifies WDI must be driven with clean edges; unused WDI should be tied to VCC or GND, not left floating.
Can the MAX6865UK25D1L+T operate from a 1.2V supply?
Yes, the MAX6865UK25D1L+T operates from VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. However, RESET output high-level voltage (VOH) is specified only down to VCC ≥ 1.71V, and guaranteed RESET validity extends to VCC = +1.1V - enabling functional supervision even below 1.2V during brownout.
How does the MR input behave when not used in the MAX6865UK25D1L+T?
When unused, the MR input of the MAX6865UK25D1L+T should be left unconnected or tied to VCC, as it features an internal 10kΩ pullup to VCC. Leaving MR floating is not recommended due to noise susceptibility; tying to VCC ensures reliable deassertion and avoids unintended resets.
