Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK26D5S+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-high push-pull RESET output when VCC drops below 2.625V (factory-trimmed threshold), MR is pulled low, or the watchdog 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.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK26D5S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK26D5S+T pinout, MAX6865UK26D5S+T application, or MAX6865UK26D5S+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.625V reset threshold, 300ms minimum reset timeout (D5), 209s watchdog period (S suffix), active-high push-pull RESET output, and compatibility with battery-powered medical and portable electronics requiring guaranteed reset validity at low VCC.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-monitoring architecture: a precision bandgap-based voltage detector triggers reset on VCC undervoltage, while a digital watchdog timer monitors WDI edge transitions to detect firmware lockup. The internal 10kΩ MR pullup enables direct switch interfacing without external components.
Reset assertion is latched and held for a fixed 300ms (min) timeout after VCC recovery, MR release, or watchdog expiration. Its BiCMOS process ensures immunity to short VCC transients (<40µs at 100mV overdrive) and stable operation across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.625V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5% tolerance); ensures reliable brownout detection for 2.7V–3.3V logic domains. |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at +25°C; enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices like glucose monitors. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 300ms (min, D5 option); provides sufficient time for µP power stabilization and initialization before release. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s (typ, S suffix); supports long-cycle firmware tasks while detecting catastrophic hangs. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull; eliminates need for external pullup and interfaces directly with µP reset inputs requiring high-active assertion. |
| Valid Reset Down to VCC | +1.1V; guarantees deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, critical for data integrity in patient monitors. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and medical portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount. Compact footprint (2.9mm × 1.6mm) suitable for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; drives µP reset pin directly-no external pullup required. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits; must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); accepts CMOS-level signals or momentary switch to GND. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; resets internal timer on any rising or falling edge; detects pulses ≥150ns wide. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input (1.2V–5.5V); monitored for undervoltage; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 170nA typical enables >10-year battery life in single-CR2032–powered medical wearables. |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.1V | Ensures fail-safe reset assertion even during severe brownout, preventing undefined µP states. |
| No external components required | Integrated MR pullup, precision voltage reference, and watchdog oscillator eliminate BOM cost and layout area. |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive-critical for noisy DC-DC converter outputs. |
| Watchdog pulse detection | Recognizes edges as short as 150ns, allowing tight software timing margins without false timeouts. |
Applications
| Portable Glucose Monitors | Patient Vital Sign Loggers |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Continuous glucose sensing with Bluetooth LE transmission powered by CR2032 battery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.0V rail, asserts RESET on brownout or firmware hang, and validates reset down to 1.1V during battery depletion.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK26D5S+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 architectures without level-shifting. | Select when target µP reset pin is active-low and board layout cannot accommodate signal inversion. |
| TPS3837K26DBVR | 2.63V threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no watchdog; 1.6µA supply current (vs. 170nA). | Lacks watchdog functionality; higher ICC reduces battery life in multi-year deployments. | Choose only if watchdog is unnecessary and cost is prioritized over ultra-low power and feature completeness. |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK26D5S+T?
The MAX6865UK26D5S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of 2.625V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the datasheet, where suffix "26" corresponds to 2.625V nominal. The MAX6865UK26D5S+T maintains this accuracy without external calibration.
Does the MAX6865UK26D5S+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK26D5S+T operates autonomously with no external components required. It integrates a 10kΩ internal pullup on the MR pin, a precision voltage reference, and a self-contained watchdog oscillator. Only a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on VCC to GND is recommended for noise suppression-no resistors, capacitors, or additional ICs are needed for core supervision functionality in the MAX6865UK26D5S+T.
How does the watchdog timer in the MAX6865UK26D5S+T respond to firmware stalls?
The MAX6865UK26D5S+T watchdog timer expires if the WDI pin remains static (high or low) for longer than 209s (typical, S-suffix). Upon expiration, it asserts the active-high RESET output for 300ms (min, D5), forcing a full µP reboot. The timer clears on any WDI edge, MR assertion, or RESET assertion-ensuring rapid recovery from infinite loops or task starvation in safety-critical firmware running on the MAX6865UK26D5S+T.
Can the MAX6865UK26D5S+T guarantee reset assertion when VCC falls below 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX6865UK26D5S+T guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, as explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Its push-pull active-high RESET output remains functional and well-defined even during deep brownout conditions-unlike open-drain or some competing supervisory ICs that lose drive capability below 1.5V. This ensures deterministic behavior in the MAX6865UK26D5S+T throughout the entire battery discharge curve.
What is the meaning of the "D5S" suffix in MAX6865UK26D5S+T?
In MAX6865UK26D5S+T, "D5" denotes the reset timeout period option: 300ms minimum (per Table 4), and "S" specifies the watchdog timeout variant: 209s typical (per Table 3). The "UK26" indicates the 2.625V reset threshold, "+T" confirms lead-free packaging, and the base "MAX6865" identifies it as a watchdog-enabled, active-high push-pull supervisory IC. All these codes are defined in the Ordering Information section of the MAX6865UK26D5S+T datasheet.
