Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK25D3L+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-low push-pull RESET output when VCC drops below its factory-trimmed 2.500V threshold, MR is pulled low, or the watchdog timer expires after 209s (typ). Designed for ultra-low-power systems, it draws only 170nA (typ) supply current and guarantees valid reset operation down to VCC = +1.1V - ideal for battery-powered glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK25D3L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK25D3L+T pinout, MAX6865UK25D3L+T application, or MAX6865UK25D3L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V reset threshold, 150ms minimum reset timeout (D3), 209s watchdog period (L suffix), push-pull active-high RESET output, and guaranteed operation at VCC ≥ 1.1V in -40°C to +85°C environments.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK25D3L+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, coupled with a digital watchdog timer that clears on any WDI edge (rising or falling) and triggers reset if WDI remains static beyond 209s (typ). Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup enables direct connection of momentary switches without external components.
Reset assertion is synchronized to VCC crossing the 2.500V threshold with 40µs typical delay (tRD), and deassertion is delayed by a fixed 150ms (min) timeout after VCC exceeds threshold and MR deasserts. The device operates across 1.2V–5.5V supply range and maintains functional reset validity down to VCC = 1.1V, supporting brownout detection in deeply undervolted states.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK25D3S+T | Same 2.5V threshold, D3 timeout, but 3.3s watchdog (S suffix) instead of 209s (L) | Better suited for fast-recovery embedded control loops requiring sub-5s watchdog response | Select MAX6864UK25D3S+T when firmware tasks complete within seconds; MAX6865UK25D3L+T preferred for long-cycle telemetry or sensor calibration. |
| TPS3836K25DBVR | 2.5V threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no watchdog; 1.6µA supply current vs. 170nA | Lacks watchdog functionality; higher ICC limits battery lifetime in always-on designs | Choose TPS3836K25DBVR only if watchdog is unnecessary and board space allows larger SOT-23-6 package; MAX6865UK25D3L+T provides integrated watchdog at 1/10 the supply current. |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK25D3L+T?
The MAX6865UK25D3L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of +2.500V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the datasheet, where suffix "25" corresponds to 2.500V nominal. The device guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, making it suitable for brownout detection in deeply undervolted systems.
Does the MAX6865UK25D3L+T provide a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout period?
Yes, the MAX6865UK25D3L+T includes a watchdog timer with a typical timeout period of 209 seconds, indicated by the "L" suffix in the part number. This long-interval watchdog is designed for firmware tasks requiring extended execution windows - such as sensor calibration, data logging, or wireless transmission cycles - without risking spurious resets. The timer clears on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin, supporting robust software supervision.
What type of RESET output does the MAX6865UK25D3L+T feature, and how is it configured?
The MAX6865UK25D3L+T features a push-pull active-high RESET output (pin 1), meaning it drives high during reset assertion and returns low when released. Unlike open-drain variants, it requires no external pullup resistor. This configuration directly interfaces with microcontrollers expecting active-high reset signals, simplifying PCB layout and reducing component count compared to open-drain alternatives requiring external biasing.
What is the reset timeout period for the MAX6865UK25D3L+T, and how is it selected?
The MAX6865UK25D3L+T has a fixed minimum reset timeout period of 150ms, designated by the "D3" suffix in the part number. This value is factory-set and not user-configurable. The 150ms duration ensures sufficient time for power supply stabilization and microcontroller internal initialization before release from reset - a critical timing margin verified across voltage and temperature extremes per the datasheet's tRP specification.
How does the MAX6865UK25D3L+T handle supply voltage transients, and what is its immunity level?
The MAX6865UK25D3L+T is immune to short-duration VCC transients up to 40µs when the overdrive is 100mV - as shown in the "Maximum VCC Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive" graph (Figure MAX684 toc05). This transient rejection prevents false resets caused by switching noise, motor spikes, or connector bounce. Its architecture actively filters brief supply disturbances while maintaining precise threshold detection for sustained brownout conditions.
