Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK25D4S+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 (WDI) functionality. It asserts an active-low push-pull RESET output when VCC drops below 2.500V (factory-trimmed threshold), MR is pulled low, or the watchdog times out after 209s (typ). Designed for ultra-low-power systems, it draws only 170nA (typ) supply current and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = +1.1V - ideal for battery-powered glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK25D4S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK25D4S+T pinout, MAX6865UK25D4S+T application, or MAX6865UK25D4S+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V reset threshold, 1200ms minimum reset timeout (D4), 209s watchdog period (S suffix), push-pull active-low reset output, and immunity to short VCC transients - all validated across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-trigger reset architecture: one path responds to VCC falling below 2.500V ±2.5%, the second to MR assertion, and the third to WDI inactivity exceeding 209s (typ). The internal reset timeout timer (1200ms min) begins only after VCC rises above threshold *and* MR deasserts - ensuring robust power-up sequencing.
The watchdog circuit clears on any WDI edge (rising or falling) and remains disabled while RESET is asserted. Its 150ns pulse-width detection capability enables reliable monitoring of fast microcontroller I/O toggling, with guaranteed operation over full temperature range and supply voltage (1.2V–5.5V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.500V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at nominal 2.5V rail |
| Supply Current (typ) | 170nA at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable medical sensors |
| Reset Timeout Period | 1200ms minimum - ensures µP completes full initialization before release from reset |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s typical (S suffix) - supports long idle intervals in low-duty-cycle embedded firmware |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low - eliminates need for external pullup; drives directly into CMOS reset inputs |
| VCC Validity Range | Guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V - maintains deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout |
| MR Input Pullup | Internal 10kΩ to VCC - enables momentary switch interface without 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 - sinks current when asserted; no external pullup required |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity and timing accuracy |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; accepts CMOS logic levels or open-drain signals |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - detects rising/falling edges; resets internal timer on each transition; immune to <150ns glitches |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for reset generation; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered devices |
| Reset threshold hysteresis | 0.5% of VTH - prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery near threshold |
| Glitch rejection | 200ns MR input filtering - rejects EMI-induced false resets without compromising responsiveness |
| No external components | Self-contained supervision - requires only 0.1µF VCC bypass cap; no resistors, capacitors, or timing parts needed |
| VCC transient immunity | Immune to 100mV VCC glitches ≤40µs - avoids spurious resets in noisy automotive or industrial environments |
Applications
| Portable Glucose Monitors | Patient Vital Sign Loggers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK25D4S+T | Same 2.5V threshold, D4 timeout, S-watchdog, but active-high push-pull RESET output | Requires MCU with active-high reset input; incompatible with active-low reset designs without level-shifting | Select when interfacing to µPs requiring active-high reset assertion (e.g., certain STM32 variants) |
| TPS3836K25DBVR | 2.5V threshold, 1200ms timeout, no watchdog; 1.6µA ICC (vs. 170nA); SOT23-5 pin-compatible | Lacks WDI functionality; higher supply current reduces battery lifetime in always-on applications | Choose where watchdog is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs ultra-low-power requirements |
Compared with MAX6864UK25D4S+T, the MAX6865UK25D4S+T provides active-low reset compatibility without external inversion; versus TPS3836K25DBVR, it delivers 9.4× lower supply current and integrated watchdog - critical for long-life, safety-critical portable medical systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK25D4S+T?
The MAX6865UK25D4S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of 2.500V ±2.5%, as indicated by the "25" suffix in the part number. This value is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (1.2V to 5.5V), with hysteresis of 0.5% of VTH to prevent oscillation during slow VCC recovery. The MAX6865UK25D4S+T datasheet specifies this parameter in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH.
Does the MAX6865UK25D4S+T support both manual reset and watchdog functions simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX6865UK25D4S+T fully supports concurrent manual reset (MR) and watchdog (WDI) functionality. Assertion of either MR low or WDI inactivity beyond 209s (typ) will trigger the reset output. The internal timer holds RESET asserted for the full 1200ms minimum timeout period after both VCC exceeds threshold *and* MR deasserts *and* WDI activity resumes - ensuring deterministic behavior in complex fault scenarios. This dual-trigger capability is confirmed in the MAX6865UK25D4S+T functional diagram and timing specifications.
What is the watchdog timeout period for the MAX6865UK25D4S+T, and how is it selected?
The MAX6865UK25D4S+T features a watchdog timeout period of 209s (typ), denoted by the "S" suffix in the part number. This value is fixed and factory-configured - no external components or pin strapping is required to select it. The watchdog timer clears on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and begins counting anew upon reset deassertion. The 209s timeout is validated across temperature and supply voltage per the MAX6865UK25D4S+T Electrical Characteristics table (tWD parameter).
Is the MAX6865UK25D4S+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX68xx family?
The MAX6865UK25D4S+T uses the standard 5-pin SOT23-5 package with identical pinout to MAX6864/MAX6866/MAX6867/MAX6869 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 on Pin 4) or MAX6854–MAX6856 (which lack WDI entirely). This specific pin mapping is documented in the MAX6865UK25D4S+T Pin Description section and Pin Configurations diagram.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6865UK25D4S+T guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX6865UK25D4S+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.1V, as explicitly stated in the datasheet's "Guaranteed Reset Valid to VCC = +1.1V" feature and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Below this voltage, RESET may become indeterminate - though the device remains functional and will reassert RESET correctly once VCC recovers above 1.1V. This specification ensures reliable operation during deep brownout conditions common in aging primary batteries.
