Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK26D3L+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 2.625V reset threshold (suffix "26"), 300ms minimum reset timeout (suffix "D3"), and 209s typical watchdog timeout (suffix "L"). It monitors VCC, responds to manual reset (MR), and triggers reset on watchdog timeout (WDI), serving as a critical power-on/brownout safeguard in battery-powered medical and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK26D3L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK26D3L+T pinout, MAX6865UK26D3L+T application, or MAX6865UK26D3L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to short VCC transients (<40µs at 100mV overdrive), push-pull active-high RESET output, and compatibility with 1.2V–5.5V supply rails in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This device integrates three core functions: precision voltage monitoring with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, a glitch-immune manual reset input with 250ns MR-to-reset delay and internal 10kΩ pullup, and a watchdog timer that clears on any WDI edge and expires after 209s (typ) if inactive - all operating from a single 1.2V–5.5V supply with no external components required.
The MAX6865UK26D3L+T implements a deterministic reset assertion sequence: RESET goes high when VCC falls below 2.625V, MR is pulled low, or WDI remains static beyond 209s; it remains asserted for ≥300ms after VCC rises above threshold, MR deasserts, or watchdog expires - ensuring µP initialization stability during recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typ at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries without compromising supervision reliability. |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.625V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5%) - matches common 2.5V/2.7V system rails and ensures accurate brownout detection. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 300ms min (D3 option) - provides sufficient time for µP power stabilization and clock lock before release. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s typ (L option) - supports long-loop firmware execution while detecting catastrophic hangs. |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-high - eliminates need for external pullup, drives directly into µP reset input with VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports wide-input systems including Li-ion, alkaline, and regulated 3.3V/5V supplies. |
| Reset Validity Limit | Guaranteed to VCC = +1.1V - ensures reliable reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions. |
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-high push-pull reset output - asserts high during fault conditions; sinks/source current per VOH/VOL specs; no external pullup needed. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane; shared return for all internal circuits. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; 250ns delay to RESET; immune to <200ns glitches. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive (rising/falling); clears internal timer on each transition; detects pulses ≥150ns wide. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply and monitored voltage input - powers device and serves as reset monitor rail; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in glucose monitors and wearable sensors. |
| Reset threshold accuracy | ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C ensures consistent brownout response across industrial temperature range. |
| VCC transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets in noisy automotive or motor-control environments. |
| No external components | Operates with only a 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor - reduces BOM count and PCB area in compact portable designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK26D3L+T | Active-low push-pull RESET output instead of active-high; identical VTH, tRP, tWD, and pinout. | Requires µP with active-low reset input; incompatible with active-high reset logic without level-shifting. | Select when interfacing to legacy µPs with active-low reset pins or when open-drain pullup conflicts exist. |
| TPS3836K26DBVR | 1.6µA typical ICC (vs. 170nA), same 2.63V threshold, 200ms timeout, no watchdog; SOT23-5 pin-compatible. | Lacks watchdog functionality; higher supply current limits battery life in always-on medical devices. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-watchdog applications where 10× higher ICC is acceptable and watchdog is handled in firmware. |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK26D3L+T?
The MAX6865UK26D3L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of 2.625V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed by the "26" suffix in the part number and specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. The MAX6865UK26D3L+T guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, making it suitable for deep brownout detection in low-voltage systems.
Does the MAX6865UK26D3L+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK26D3L+T operates with no external components beyond a mandatory 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor from VCC to GND, as specified in the Typical Operating Circuit and Applications Information sections. Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup, precise voltage reference, and integrated watchdog timer eliminate the need for resistors, capacitors, or additional ICs - reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs like portable medical devices.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of the MAX6865UK26D3L+T?
The MAX6865UK26D3L+T features a watchdog timer with a typical timeout period of 209s (suffix "L"), with min/max values of 95s and 487s respectively. The timer clears on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and expires only if WDI remains static beyond this period. When it expires, it asserts the active-high RESET output for the full 300ms reset timeout (suffix "D3"), ensuring µP recovery. This behavior is documented in Table 3 and the Watchdog Input section of the datasheet.
How does the MAX6865UK26D3L+T handle short VCC transients?
The MAX6865UK26D3L+T is specifically designed to reject short-duration VCC transients: it remains immune to glitches ≤40µs wide when the overdrive is 100mV above the 2.625V threshold, as shown in the "Maximum VCC Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive" graph. This immunity prevents false resets in electrically noisy environments such as motor-driven portable equipment or switching power supply domains - a key reliability feature confirmed in the Transient Immunity section.
Is the MAX6865UK26D3L+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX68xx family?
Yes, the MAX6865UK26D3L+T uses the standard 5-pin SOT23-5 package and shares identical pinout with all MAX6864–MAX6866 variants: Pin 1 = RESET (active-high push-pull), Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = MR, Pin 4 = WDI, Pin 5 = VCC. This allows direct substitution within the MAX6864/MAX6865/MAX6866 group when adjusting reset polarity or timeout options, provided the target design accommodates the active-high RESET output of the MAX6865UK26D3L+T.
