Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK26D1S+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, combining voltage monitoring (2.625V reset threshold), manual reset input, and watchdog timer (3.3s typical timeout). It asserts an active-high push-pull RESET signal during VCC brownout, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout, with guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V. It targets ultra-low-power portable medical and consumer devices requiring reliable power-on reset and firmware crash recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK26D1S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK26D1S+T pinout, MAX6865UK26D1S+T application, or MAX6865UK26D1S+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 2.625V reset threshold, 10ms minimum reset timeout, 3.3s watchdog period, and active-high push-pull output - all validated for -40°C to +85°C operation in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
This device 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 and expires if WDI remains static beyond 3.3s (typ). The internal reset timeout generator uses a temperature-stable RC oscillator calibrated to deliver 10ms (min) after VCC recovery or MR release.
The MAX6865UK26D1S+T features an internally pulled-up MR input (10kΩ to VCC), glitch-immune detection (200ns rejection), and a push-pull RESET output referenced to VCC with VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at 500µA source current. Its architecture ensures no external components are required for basic supervision functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on medical monitors. |
| Reset Threshold | 2.625V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5%) - matches common 2.6V/2.7V logic rails and LDO outputs. |
| Reset Timeout | 10ms (min), D1 option - ensures µP initialization completes before peripheral access begins. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 3.3s (typ), S-suffix - provides sufficient margin for complex boot sequences without false triggers. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup and interfaces directly to µP reset pins. |
| Operating Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable medical environments. |
| VCC Validity | RESET valid down to VCC = +1.1V - guarantees clean reset assertion during deep brownout conditions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount. Compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint with 0.95mm height, optimized for space-constrained portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin directly; sinks 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.38V. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must connect 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 or open-drain signals. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive; clears internal timer on rising/falling transitions; rejects pulses <150ns. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for brownout; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current - extends battery life in glucose monitors and wearable sensors. |
| Guaranteed VCC reset validity | RESET functional down to VCC = +1.1V - prevents undefined µP state during deep undervoltage events. |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | No reset triggered by ≤40µs transients at 100mV overdrive - improves reliability in noisy power environments. |
| No external components | Self-contained supervision - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for RC timing networks or pullups. |
| Watchdog edge-clearing logic | Timer resets on any WDI transition - supports flexible software heartbeat patterns without strict high/low symmetry. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Devices | Wearable Health Monitors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK26D1S+T | Active-low push-pull RESET output; identical threshold, timeout, and watchdog specs. | Requires µP with active-low reset input; incompatible with active-high reset designs without level-shifting. | Select when interfacing to legacy µPs expecting active-low reset assertion. |
| TPS3836K33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; 200ms min timeout; no watchdog; 3.5µA ICC - 20× higher supply current. | Suitable only for non-watchdog applications with 3.3V rails; cannot replace MAX6865UK26D1S+T where 2.625V threshold or 3.3s watchdog is required. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-watchdog designs where 3.3V supervision suffices and 170nA is not critical. |
Compared with MAX6864UK26D1S+T and TPS3836K33DBVR, the MAX6865UK26D1S+T uniquely delivers active-high reset, 2.625V threshold, and integrated 3.3s watchdog in a 170nA package - making it the sole fit for space- and power-constrained medical wearables requiring precise low-voltage supervision and autonomous crash recovery.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK26D1S+T?
The MAX6865UK26D1S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.625V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the datasheet, where suffix "26" corresponds to 2.625V nominal. The device guarantees reset assertion when VCC falls below this threshold and deassertion only after VCC exceeds it by ≥150mV plus timeout delay.
Does the MAX6865UK26D1S+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK26D1S+T operates fully self-contained with no external components required. Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup, precision voltage reference, and RC-based timeout generator eliminate the need for external resistors, capacitors, or pullups. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on VCC is recommended but not strictly required for functional operation in low-noise environments.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of the MAX6865UK26D1S+T?
The MAX6865UK26D1S+T features a watchdog timer with a typical timeout of 3.3s (S-suffix), with min/max values of 1.5s and 7.75s. The timer clears on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and expires only if WDI remains static (high or low) beyond the timeout period. Upon expiration, it asserts the active-high RESET signal for the configured 10ms minimum timeout period.
How does the MAX6865UK26D1S+T ensure reset validity at low VCC?
The MAX6865UK26D1S+T guarantees RESET output validity down to VCC = +1.1V, verified across temperature. Its push-pull output maintains VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at 500µA source current even at 1.1V, ensuring compatible logic levels for modern ultra-low-voltage µPs. This specification prevents metastability during brownout recovery and is explicitly tested per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
Is the MAX6865UK26D1S+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX68xx family?
The MAX6865UK26D1S+T shares the same 5-pin SOT23-5 package and pinout (RESET, GND, MR, WDI, VCC) with MAX6864/MAX6866/MAX6867–MAX6869 variants. However, it is not pin-compatible with MAX6854–MAX6863 due to differing pin functions (e.g., CT instead of WDI). Direct substitution requires matching both function (watchdog + active-high RESET) and pin mapping - confirmed in the Pin Configurations and Selector Guide sections.
