Product details
Overview
MAX6865UK30D4S+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 3.000V reset threshold (±2.5%), 1200ms minimum reset timeout, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer with 3.3s 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 MAX6865UK30D4S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK30D4S+T pinout, MAX6865UK30D4S+T application, or MAX6865UK30D4S+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact pin roles, real-world timing behavior, and validated alternative options for low-power µP reset and watchdog supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK30D4S+T implements a dual-trigger reset architecture: it asserts reset on VCC falling below 3.000V, MR pin assertion, or WDI inactivity exceeding 3.3s (typ). Its internal watchdog timer clears on any WDI edge, MR assertion, or active reset - enabling robust software execution monitoring without external components.
This device guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = +1.1V, features 250ns MR-to-reset delay, 40µs VCC-to-reset delay, and immunity to sub-40µs VCC transients at 100mV overdrive. It uses BiCMOS process with 2848 transistors and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typ at VCC = 1.8V; enables multi-year battery life in glucose monitors and pagers. |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 3.000V ±2.5% (VTH = 3.000V); factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at 3.0V rail. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 1200ms min (D4 option); ensures full µP initialization before release in embedded systems. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 3.3s typ (S suffix); detects firmware hangs in low-duty-cycle sensor nodes. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-high RESET; drives µP reset pin directly without pullup resistor. |
| MR Input Behavior | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup; accepts CMOS logic or momentary switch; 1µs min pulse width. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6865UK30D4S+T is housed in a lead-free 5-pin SOT23-5 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; asserts high during fault conditions and holds for 1200ms after recovery. |
| 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; internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); initiates reset when pulled ≤0.3×VCC. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; requires ≥150ns edge transitions; resets internal timer on every rising/falling edge. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input and monitored rail; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current at 1.8V enables >10-year battery operation in wearable health devices. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET remains functional down to VCC = +1.1V, ensuring fail-safe behavior during deep brownout. |
| No external components | Integrates reset timer, watchdog, MR pullup, and voltage reference - eliminates BOM cost and layout area. |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive, preventing spurious resets in noisy automotive/industrial environments. |
| Watchdog edge sensitivity | Detects 150ns WDI pulses, supporting high-frequency software heartbeat signals without timing margin loss. |
Applications
| Glucose Monitors | Patient Monitoring Devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3837K33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold; no watchdog; 200ms reset timeout; 1.2µA ICC. | Suitable only for basic reset supervision without code-execution monitoring. | Select when watchdog functionality is unnecessary and lower cost is prioritized over ultra-low ICC. |
| MAX6369KA29D3+T | 2.93V threshold; 1200ms timeout; no watchdog; 1.5µA ICC; same SOT23-5 package. | Lacks WDI input; intended for simpler power-rail monitoring where software hang detection is handled externally. | Choose for legacy designs migrating from MAX68xx family but omitting watchdog requirements. |
Compared with TPS3837K33DBVR and MAX6369KA29D3+T, the MAX6865UK30D4S+T uniquely combines 3.000V precision threshold, 1200ms timeout, and integrated 3.3s watchdog in a 170nA solution - making it the only choice for long-life, safety-critical portable medical devices requiring autonomous firmware supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK30D4S+T?
The MAX6865UK30D4S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of 3.000V with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature (–40°C to +85°C), corresponding to the "30" suffix in its part number per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is guaranteed across the full operating range and enables precise brownout detection for 3.0V system rails.
Does the MAX6865UK30D4S+T include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout period?
Yes, the MAX6865UK30D4S+T includes an integrated watchdog timer with a typical timeout period of 3.3s (S suffix), as confirmed in Table 3 of the datasheet. The timer resets on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and expires only if WDI remains static longer than this interval - providing reliable firmware hang detection without external timing components.
What is the reset output configuration of the MAX6865UK30D4S+T?
The MAX6865UK30D4S+T features an active-high push-pull RESET output (Pin 1), meaning it drives high during reset assertion and low during normal operation. Unlike open-drain variants, it requires no external pullup resistor and interfaces directly with µP reset inputs expecting active-high logic levels.
How does the MAX6865UK30D4S+T handle short VCC transients?
The MAX6865UK30D4S+T is immune to VCC transients ≤40µs in duration when the overdrive is 100mV, as shown in the "Maximum VCC Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive" graph. This built-in glitch rejection prevents spurious resets during switching noise or motor-induced supply disturbances in portable equipment.
What is the supply current consumption of the MAX6865UK30D4S+T at 1.8V?
The MAX6865UK30D4S+T draws 170nA typical supply current (ICC) at VCC = 1.8V and TA = +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low quiescent current enables multi-year operation from small coin-cell batteries in applications like glucose monitors and smart pagers.
