Product details
Overview
MAX6865UK27D6S+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 2.7V reset threshold (±2.5%), 1200ms minimum reset timeout, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer with 209s typical timeout. It monitors VCC in battery-powered medical and portable electronics to ensure reliable power-on reset and code-execution error recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK27D6S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK27D6S+T pinout, MAX6865UK27D6S+T application, or MAX6865UK27D6S+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 noisy low-voltage systems requiring minimal quiescent current.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK27D6S+T implements a dual-monitoring architecture: a precision voltage detector with hysteresis (0.5% of VTH) triggers reset on VCC drop below 2.7V, while a watchdog timer monitors WDI activity-resetting if no edge occurs within 209s (typ). Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup and glitch rejection (200ns) enable robust manual reset without external components.
Unlike basic supervisors, this device integrates three independent assertion sources-VCC brownout, MR assertion, and watchdog timeout-with synchronized deassertion after a fixed 1200ms timeout. The push-pull active-high RESET output drives directly to VCC, eliminating need for external pullups and ensuring logic-level compatibility across 1.2V–5.5V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typ at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable medical devices. |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.7V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at nominal 2.7V rail, critical for Li-ion battery monitoring. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 1200ms min - ensures µP completes full power-up initialization before release, preventing premature execution. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s typ - long-duration supervision suitable for infrequently updated firmware in remote sensors. |
| VCC Validity Range | 1.1V to 5.5V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout, supporting ultra-low-voltage operation. |
| MR Input Glitch Rejection | 200ns - suppresses EMI-induced false resets in high-noise industrial handhelds. |
| WDI Pulse Width | 150ns min - allows fast software-triggered watchdog clears without timing overhead. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, -40°C to +85°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET (active-high) | Push-pull output asserted high during reset; sinks no current when deasserted-directly interfaces µP reset pin without pullup. |
| 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 with internal 10kΩ pullup to VCC; driven low by switch or logic to force reset regardless of VCC state. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input detecting rising/falling edges; must toggle within 209s to prevent timeout-induced reset. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input monitored for brownout; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for transient suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current extends battery life in glucose monitors and wearable sensors beyond 5 years. |
| Guaranteed reset at VCC = 1.1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep discharge, unlike competitors failing below 1.2V. |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <40µs glitches at 100mV overdrive-critical for automotive accessory modules with noisy power rails. |
| No external components required | Integrates MR pullup, voltage reference, and watchdog oscillator-reduces BOM count and PCB area by 30% vs discrete solutions. |
| Push-pull active-high RESET | Eliminates external pullup resistor and associated leakage, simplifying interface with 3.3V/5V µPs and reducing standby power. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; no watchdog; 200ms timeout; open-drain output requires pullup. | Suitable only for fixed 3.3V systems without software hang protection. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for programmable threshold or watchdog functionality. |
| STM6315SW33F | 2.93V reset threshold; 1.6s timeout; no WDI; 350nA supply current; push-pull active-low output. | Lacks watchdog capability and has higher ICC-unsuitable for long-life battery applications. | Choose for legacy designs already using STM63xx family and requiring pin-compatible replacement without watchdog. |
Compared with MAX6865UK27D6S+T, TPS3836K33DBVR offers lower unit cost but sacrifices brownout flexibility and system-level fault recovery, while STM6315SW33F provides longer timeout yet doubles supply current and omits watchdog-making MAX6865UK27D6S+T optimal for safety-critical, ultra-low-power embedded systems requiring both voltage and software supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6865UK27D6S+T?
The MAX6865UK27D6S+T features a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.7V with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature (-40°C to +85°C), corresponding to suffix '27' per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is guaranteed by design and tested during production, ensuring accurate brownout detection for 2.7V nominal rails in MAX6865UK27D6S+T applications.
Does MAX6865UK27D6S+T support watchdog timer functionality?
Yes, MAX6865UK27D6S+T includes a watchdog timer with 209s typical timeout (suffix 'L'), activated via the WDI pin. It resets the system if no edge is detected on WDI within that period. The watchdog clears on any WDI transition, MR assertion, or RESET assertion-ensuring MAX6865UK27D6S+T provides both power and software fault coverage.
What is the function of the RESET pin on MAX6865UK27D6S+T?
The RESET pin on MAX6865UK27D6S+T is a push-pull active-high output. It drives high during reset conditions (VCC < 2.7V, MR low, or watchdog timeout) and low otherwise. Unlike open-drain variants, it requires no external pullup, simplifying interface with µP reset inputs and reducing standby current in MAX6865UK27D6S+T designs.
Can MAX6865UK27D6S+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.1V?
Yes, MAX6865UK27D6S+T guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. This ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout-critical for maintaining system integrity in MAX6865UK27D6S+T-powered medical devices operating near end-of-battery life.
What package type and lead finish does MAX6865UK27D6S+T use?
MAX6865UK27D6S+T is supplied in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package with lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish, indicated by the '+T' suffix. It operates across -40°C to +85°C and requires standard SMT reflow profiles-enabling direct drop-in use in MAX6865UK27D6S+T-based production lines without process changes.
