Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK29D2L+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, a factory-trimmed 2.925V reset threshold, 40ms 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 or watchdog expiration - used in battery-powered glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK29D2L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK29D2L+T pinout, MAX6865UK29D2L+T application, or MAX6865UK29D2L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to short VCC transients (<40µs at 100mV overdrive), pin-selectable reset output type, and compatibility with low-voltage µP systems operating from 1.2V to 5.5V.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK29D2L+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, coupled with a digital watchdog timer that clears on any WDI edge and expires if WDI remains static beyond 209s (typ). Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup and glitch rejection (200ns) enable robust manual reset handling without external components.
It uses BiCMOS process technology (2848 transistors) to achieve nanoscale quiescent current while maintaining push-pull RESET output drive capability: VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA and VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 1.2mA for VCC ≥ 2.38V - ensuring reliable interface with modern low-voltage microcontrollers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typical at VCC = 1.8V; enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable medical devices. |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.925V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5%); precisely matches 3.0V nominal rail monitoring with margin for brownout detection. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 40ms minimum (D2 option); ensures µP completes power-up initialization before release from reset. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s typical (L suffix); supports long-loop firmware execution while detecting catastrophic hangs in embedded health monitors. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; allows direct integration into diverse low-power subsystems including 1.8V and 3.3V domains. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull; eliminates need for external pullup and simplifies interface to µP reset inputs requiring high-true assertion. |
| Guaranteed Reset Validity | Down to VCC = +1.1V; ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions before system collapse. |
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 condition (VCC < VTH, MR low, or WDI timeout); referenced to VCC. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane with low-impedance path. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; accepts CMOS logic levels; 250ns MR-to-reset delay. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; edge-sensitive (rising/falling); clears internal timer on transition; 150ns minimum pulse width supported. |
| 5 | VCC | Primary supply and monitored voltage rail; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 170nA typical enables >10-year battery life in single-CR2032-powered patient monitors. |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.925V ±2.5% eliminates external resistor divider calibration and reduces BOM count. |
| Watchdog timer with edge-clearing | 209s timeout with automatic reset on WDI transitions prevents false triggers during normal software polling. |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects transients ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - critical for noisy switch-mode power supply environments. |
| No external components required | Integrated MR pullup, precision voltage reference, and timing elements reduce PCB area and assembly cost. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK29D2L+T | Same 2.925V threshold, 40ms timeout, and 209s watchdog, but features active-low push-pull RESET output instead of active-high. | Requires µP with active-low reset input; incompatible with systems expecting high-true reset assertion. | Select MAX6864UK29D2L+T only when interfacing to legacy µPs with active-low reset pins and no level-shifting capability. |
| TPS3837K29DBVR | 2.93V threshold, 200ms minimum timeout, no watchdog timer, 1.6µA supply current - 9× higher than MAX6865UK29D2L+T. | Suitable for basic power-on reset only; cannot replace watchdog functionality in safety-critical medical firmware monitoring. | Choose TPS3837K29DBVR only for cost-sensitive, non-watchdog applications where 1.6µA ICC is acceptable and longer reset hold time is tolerable. |
Compared with MAX6864UK29D2L+T, the MAX6865UK29D2L+T provides active-high RESET for direct compatibility with modern low-voltage µPs; compared with TPS3837K29DBVR, it delivers 10× lower supply current and integrated watchdog - essential for battery longevity and functional safety in portable diagnostics.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK29D2L+T?
The MAX6865UK29D2L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of 2.925V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is fixed per the "29" suffix in the part number and is verified in the Threshold Suffix Guide (Table 2) of the official datasheet. The MAX6865UK29D2L+T maintains this accuracy without external calibration components.
Does the MAX6865UK29D2L+T support active-high or active-low reset output?
The MAX6865UK29D2L+T provides an active-high push-pull reset output, as confirmed by its pin description (Pin 1 = RESET, active-high) and Selector Guide entry. This differs from the MAX6864UK29D2L+T (active-low) and MAX6866UK29D2L+T (open-drain active-low). The MAX6865UK29D2L+T drives high during reset assertion and deasserts low - matching µP reset inputs requiring high-true signaling.
What is the watchdog timeout period for the MAX6865UK29D2L+T?
The MAX6865UK29D2L+T features a watchdog timeout period of 209s typical (minimum 95s, maximum 487s), denoted by the "L" suffix in the part number. This long timeout supports firmware with extended idle or sleep intervals while still detecting catastrophic hangs. The watchdog timer clears on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and resumes counting immediately after reset deassertion.
Can the MAX6865UK29D2L+T operate reliably below 1.8V?
Yes - the MAX6865UK29D2L+T operates from 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = +1.1V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. At 1.2V supply, its typical supply current is 190nA, making it suitable for deep-brownout supervision in energy-harvesting and ultra-low-voltage systems. The MAX6865UK29D2L+T maintains functional reset assertion even as VCC collapses.
Is the MAX6865UK29D2L+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX68xx family?
The MAX6865UK29D2L+T uses the standard 5-pin SOT23-5 package and shares identical pinout with MAX6864/MAX6866/MAX6867–MAX6869 variants: Pin 1 = RESET, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = MR, Pin 4 = WDI, Pin 5 = VCC. However, it is not pin-compatible with MAX6861–MAX6863 (which use CT instead of WDI) or MAX6854–MAX6856 (which lack WDI). Always verify function mapping before substitution.
