Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK29D6L+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, 1200ms minimum reset timeout, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer with 209s typical timeout. It asserts an active-high push-pull RESET signal during VCC brownout, MR assertion, or watchdog expiration-used in battery-powered glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK29D6L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK29D6L+T pinout, MAX6865UK29D6L+T application, or MAX6865UK29D6L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to short VCC transients (<40µs at 100mV overdrive), pin-selectable reset delay absence (fixed D6 timeout), and compatibility with noisy low-power embedded systems requiring fail-safe boot integrity.
Technical Context
This device integrates voltage monitoring, manual reset control, and watchdog timer functionality into a single BiCMOS IC. Its reset logic asserts RESET high when VCC falls below 2.925V, MR is pulled low, or WDI remains static beyond 209s (typ); RESET remains asserted for ≥1200ms after recovery.
The watchdog timer clears on any WDI edge (rising/falling) and is disabled during RESET assertion. The MR input features 10kΩ internal pullup, 1µs minimum pulse width, and 200ns glitch rejection-enabling robust external reset button interfacing without debounce circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typ at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.925V (±2.5%) - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection of 3.0V nominal rails |
| Reset Timeout Period | 600–1200ms (D6 option) - ensures µP completes power-rail stabilization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 95–487s (L suffix, typ 209s) - supports long-loop firmware execution in medical telemetry |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - valid operation across Li-ion, alkaline, and regulated 3.3V/2.5V domains |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor in most µP interfaces |
| Guaranteed RESET Validity | Down to VCC = +1.1V - ensures deterministic reset state during deep brownout |
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; sinks 500µA at VCC ≥ 2.38V |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must connect to system ground plane for noise immunity and timing accuracy |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; accepts CMOS-level signals |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive (150ns min pulse); clears internal timer on rising/falling transitions |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for reset generation; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current extends battery life in portable medical devices beyond 5 years |
| Reset threshold hysteresis | 0.5% of VTH prevents chatter during slow VCC ramp-up or noise-induced threshold crossings |
| VCC transient immunity | Immune to ≤40µs VCC glitches at 100mV overdrive - avoids spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
| No external components | Self-contained supervision requires only 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Watchdog edge sensitivity | Detects 150ns WDI pulses - enables reliable software heartbeat signaling even with fast µP I/O toggling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6365KPA+T | Higher 1.2µA supply current; fixed 2.93V threshold; no watchdog; 200ms reset timeout | Lacks watchdog capability - unsuitable for firmware hang recovery in autonomous devices | Select when only basic power-on reset is needed and ultra-low ICC is not critical |
| TPS3839G33DBVR | 1.5µA ICC; 3.3V fixed threshold; 200ms timeout; no MR or watchdog; open-drain RESET | Requires external pullup; no manual reset or watchdog - limited to simple power-good monitoring | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where supervision complexity is minimal |
Compared with MAX6865UK29D6L+T, MAX6365KPA+T trades nanopower operation for simpler architecture and lower cost, while TPS3839G33DBVR offers higher integration density but sacrifices watchdog safety and manual reset flexibility required in medical and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK29D6L+T?
The MAX6865UK29D6L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of 2.925V, with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature (-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 MAX6865UK29D6L+T maintains this specification without external calibration or trimming components.
Does the MAX6865UK29D6L+T support active-low reset output?
No, the MAX6865UK29D6L+T provides an active-high push-pull RESET output only. Per the Selector Guide and MAX6865 pin description, it belongs to the MAX6865 variant group (active-high push-pull), unlike MAX6864 (active-low) or MAX6866 (open-drain). The MAX6865UK29D6L+T cannot be configured for active-low operation-designers requiring that polarity must select MAX6864UK29D6L+T instead.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of the MAX6865UK29D6L+T during power-up?
The watchdog timer in the MAX6865UK29D6L+T is disabled while RESET is asserted and resumes counting only after RESET deasserts. During power-up, the device holds RESET high until VCC exceeds 2.925V and the 1200ms timeout expires-so WDI monitoring begins only after the µP is fully released. This prevents false timeouts during initial boot sequences, ensuring the MAX6865UK29D6L+T aligns watchdog activation with functional firmware execution.
Can the MAX6865UK29D6L+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.3V?
Yes, the MAX6865UK29D6L+T guarantees functional operation and valid RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. At 1.3V, it draws ~190nA (typ), maintains 2.925V threshold tracking, and sustains MR input recognition and WDI edge detection. This makes the MAX6865UK29D6L+T suitable for end-of-battery-life scenarios in single-cell alkaline or LiFePO₄ systems.
Is an external pullup resistor required for the RESET output of the MAX6865UK29D6L+T?
No, an external pullup resistor is not required for the MAX6865UK29D6L+T because its RESET output is active-high push-pull. The internal driver actively sources current to pull RESET high (VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC) and sinks current to pull it low (VOL ≤ 0.3V). Unlike open-drain variants, the MAX6865UK29D6L+T drives the reset line directly-reducing component count and eliminating pullup-related leakage paths in battery-critical designs.
