Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK29D1L+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 2.925V reset threshold, 10ms minimum reset timeout, and integrated watchdog timer with 209s typical timeout. It monitors VCC, responds to manual reset (MR), and asserts active-high push-pull RESET during brownout, power-up, or watchdog expiration - used in battery-powered glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK29D1L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK29D1L+T pinout, MAX6865UK29D1L+T application, or MAX6865UK29D1L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to sub-40µs VCC transients, 209s watchdog timeout option, and compatibility with 1.2V–5.5V supply rails in space-constrained portable systems.
Technical Context
This device integrates voltage monitoring, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer (WDI) in a single BiCMOS IC. Its reset assertion logic triggers on VCC falling below 2.925V ±2.5%, MR low pulse ≥1µs, or WDI inactivity exceeding 209s (typ). The internal timer ensures RESET remains asserted for ≥10ms after recovery.
The watchdog circuit clears on any WDI edge (rising/falling), MR assertion, or RESET assertion - enabling robust software execution monitoring. Push-pull active-high RESET output is referenced to VCC and sinks ≤0.3V at 1.2mA load when asserted, supporting direct interface with µP reset inputs without external pullups.
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 sensors. |
| Reset Threshold | 2.925V ±2.5%; factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection on 3.0V/3.3V rails. |
| Reset Timeout | 10ms min; ensures µP completes power stabilization before release from reset state. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s typ (L-suffix); supports long-cycle firmware tasks while preventing lockup. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; operates across Li-ion, coin-cell, and regulated 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V supplies. |
| RESET Validity | Guaranteed to VCC = +1.1V; maintains valid logic level through deep brownout conditions. |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low, internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; accepts CMOS levels, no external components needed. |
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 reset output; drives µP reset pin directly; no external pullup required. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits and reset timing; must connect to system ground plane. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; initiates reset when pulled low ≥1µs; internally pulled up to VCC. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; requires edge transitions (rising/falling) every <209s to prevent timeout-induced reset. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input and monitored rail; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current extends battery life in portable medical devices beyond 5 years. |
| Watchdog Immunity | Clears on any WDI edge - prevents false timeout from stuck-loop software or static I/O states. |
| VCC Transient Rejection | Immune to VCC glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - avoids spurious resets in noisy power environments. |
| No External Components | Integrated MR pullup, precision voltage reference, and timing capacitors eliminate BOM cost and layout area. |
| Valid RESET at Low VCC | RESET remains logic-valid down to VCC = +1.1V - ensures deterministic µP behavior during deep brownout. |
Applications
| Glucose Monitor | Patient Monitor |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous glucose sensing in wearable patch pumps with coin-cell power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.0V regulated rail and validates µP boot sequence after sensor wake-up. Use Value: 170nA ICC minimizes battery drain; 209s watchdog timeout accommodates extended calibration routines without false reset. |
Use Scenario: Portable ECG and SpO₂ units powered by dual AA alkaline cells. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors decaying 3.0V rail and asserts RESET before ADC reference collapse.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK29D1L+T | Same 2.925V threshold, 10ms timeout, 209s watchdog, but active-low push-pull RESET output. | Requires inverted reset logic on µP side; unsuitable where active-high RESET is mandatory. | Select MAX6864UK29D1L+T only if target µP accepts active-low reset assertion. |
| TPS3837K29DBVR | 2.93V threshold, 200ms min timeout, no watchdog timer, 1.6V–6.0V VCC range. | Lacks watchdog functionality; suited for simple power-monitoring-only designs without software supervision. | Choose TPS3837K29DBVR when watchdog capability is unnecessary and longer reset hold time is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX6865UK29D1L+T, MAX6864UK29D1L+T provides identical supervision parameters but inverted RESET polarity - requiring µP-level logic adaptation - while TPS3837K29DBVR offers broader VCC range but omits watchdog, limiting use to non-critical embedded control.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK29D1L+T?
The MAX6865UK29D1L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.925V 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 "29" corresponds to 2.925V nominal. The threshold remains stable across temperature, with normalized variation ≤±0.5% from -40°C to +85°C per typical characteristics graph.
Does the MAX6865UK29D1L+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK29D1L+T operates without external components: MR is internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ, RESET is push-pull active-high (no pullup needed), and timing is fully internal. Only a 0.1µF bypass capacitor on VCC to GND is recommended for noise immunity - no RC networks, pullups, or timing capacitors are required for standard supervision or watchdog functionality.
How does the watchdog timer in the MAX6865UK29D1L+T respond to software hangs?
The MAX6865UK29D1L+T watchdog timer expires if WDI remains static (high or low) for >209s (typ). It clears on any rising or falling edge at WDI, so firmware must toggle WDI at least once per timeout period. During reset assertion, the timer halts; it resumes counting only after RESET deasserts - ensuring reliable detection of locked-up code without false triggers from reset sequences.
Can the MAX6865UK29D1L+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.3V?
Yes, the MAX6865UK29D1L+T guarantees functional operation and valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.1V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. At 1.3V, supply current remains ~190nA (typ), reset threshold holds within spec, and RESET output maintains VOH ≥0.8×VCC and VOL ≤0.3V - enabling robust brownout handling in deeply discharged battery scenarios.
What is the minimum pulse width required on the MR input of the MAX6865UK29D1L+T?
The MR input of the MAX6865UK29D1L+T requires a minimum low pulse width of 1µs to initiate a reset, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "MR Minimum Pulse Width (tMPW)". The device also rejects MR glitches <200ns, ensuring noise immunity in electrically harsh environments like portable medical equipment with motorized actuators or RF sections.
