Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK28D4L+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 2.800V reset threshold (suffix '28'), 1200ms minimum reset timeout (suffix 'D4'), and 209s typical watchdog timeout (suffix 'L'). It monitors VCC, asserts active-high push-pull RESET on brownout/manual reset/watchdog expiry, and supports battery-powered medical and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK28D4L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK28D4L+T pinout, MAX6865UK28D4L+T application, or MAX6865UK28D4L+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, functional pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for low-power µP reset and watchdog supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK28D4L+T integrates voltage monitoring, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer with WDI input-triggering RESET when VCC falls below 2.800V, MR is pulled low, or WDI remains static beyond 209s (typ). Its internal timer guarantees RESET remains asserted for ≥1200ms after recovery.
Designed for ultra-low-power operation, it maintains guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V, features 200ns MR glitch rejection, and draws only 170nA (typ) at 2.5V/25°C-enabling multi-year battery life in glucose monitors and wearables.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typical at 2.5V/25°C - enables >10-year coin-cell operation in always-on medical sensors |
| Reset Threshold | 2.800V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection on 3.0V or 2.85V rails |
| Reset Timeout | 1200ms minimum - ensures full µP initialization and peripheral stabilization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s typical (L-suffix) - suitable for infrequent firmware tasks like daily calibration or BLE advertising intervals |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates external pullup, drives directly into CMOS µP reset input |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, and regulated 3.3V/2.5V systems |
| Reset Validity Limit | Guaranteed to VCC = +1.1V - ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout |
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 - drives high during fault; no external pullup required |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; accepts CMOS logic |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive; clears internal timer on rising/falling transitions |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored rail; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical enables >5-year operation on CR2032 in patient monitors |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects ≤40µs glitches at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy environments |
| Guaranteed reset at low VCC | Valid RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.1V - ensures reliability during battery depletion |
| No external components | Internal MR pullup, fixed timing, and factory-trimmed threshold eliminate BOM parts |
| Watchdog edge sensitivity | Detects 150ns WDI pulses - supports fast firmware toggling without timing margin loss |
Applications
| Glucose Monitoring Systems | Patient Vital Sign Loggers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous subcutaneous glucose sensing with Bluetooth LE transmission every 5 minutes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.0V coin-cell rail and triggers full µP reset if firmware hangs during BLE handshake or sensor readout. Use Value: 209s watchdog timeout aligns with maximum BLE connection interval; 1200ms reset hold ensures ADC and radio initialization completes. |
Use Scenario: Portable ECG patch recording heart rate and SpO₂ for 72-hour clinical trials. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 2.85V regulated supply and asserts RESET on brownout during battery swap or low-voltage cutoff.

| Industrial Handheld Scanners | Smart Wearable Trackers |
Use Scenario: Rugged barcode scanner powered by rechargeable Li-ion, operating in warehouse RF-noise environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides MR-initiated reset via physical button and detects µP lockup during motor driver faults. Use Value: 200ns MR glitch rejection prevents false triggers from ESD events; push-pull RESET drives 10kΩ µP input directly. |
Use Scenario: Fitness tracker with motion sensor, OLED display, and BLE SoC running intermittent firmware tasks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Watches WDI toggled once per minute during sleep mode; resets on missed toggle due to memory corruption. Use Value: 209s watchdog period accommodates longest firmware task without false timeout; 1.2–5.5V range supports buck-boost power architecture. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK28D4L+T | Same 2.800V threshold, 1200ms timeout, 209s watchdog, but active-low open-drain RESET output | Requires external pullup resistor; incompatible with µP reset inputs expecting active-high logic | Select only if system design already uses open-drain reset signaling and level-shifting is needed |
| TPS3837K28DBVR | 2.80V threshold, 1200ms timeout, no watchdog; 2.5µA ICC (15× higher than MAX6865UK28D4L+T) | Lacks WDI functionality; unsuitable for firmware hang detection in unattended devices | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-watchdog applications where 2.5µA ICC is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK28D4L+T?
The MAX6865UK28D4L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.800V, with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C. This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the datasheet, where suffix '28' corresponds to 2.800V nominal. The device guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, making it suitable for deep brownout detection in battery-powered systems.
Does the MAX6865UK28D4L+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX6865UK28D4L+T features an active-high push-pull RESET output, which actively drives high during reset assertion and low during deassertion. Unlike open-drain variants, it does not require an external pullup resistor-reducing BOM count and simplifying layout. This is explicitly stated in the MAX6865 pin description and functional diagram.
How does the watchdog timer in the MAX6865UK28D4L+T respond to WDI signal edges?
The MAX6865UK28D4L+T watchdog timer clears on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and expires only if WDI remains static (high or low) for longer than the 209s typical timeout period. It detects pulses as short as 150ns and resumes counting immediately after RESET deasserts-ensuring robust firmware execution monitoring without false timeouts.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which the MAX6865UK28D4L+T guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX6865UK28D4L+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.1V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout conditions-critical for medical devices using aging primary batteries where voltage decay below 1.2V is common.
Can the MAX6865UK28D4L+T be used with a 1.8V supply rail?
Yes, the MAX6865UK28D4L+T operates across VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V, fully supporting 1.8V systems. Its 170nA typical supply current and 2.800V reset threshold remain valid at 1.8V, and its RESET output meets VOH/VOL specs (e.g., VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 200µA). This makes it suitable for low-voltage µPs and SoCs in modern portable electronics.
