Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK32D2L+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 3.2V reset threshold (±2.5%), 40ms minimum reset timeout, and integrated watchdog timer with 209s typical timeout. It asserts active-low push-pull RESET during VCC brownout, manual reset, or watchdog expiration - used in battery-powered medical monitors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK32D2L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK32D2L+T pinout, MAX6865UK32D2L+T application, or MAX6865UK32D2L+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to sub-40µs VCC transients, MR input with 10kΩ internal pullup, and compatibility with noisy low-power systems requiring deterministic reset behavior under voltage sag or software lockup.
Technical Context
This device integrates three core functions: precision voltage monitoring with hysteresis (0.5% of VTH), a manual reset input (MR) with 250ns propagation delay and 1µs minimum pulse width, and a watchdog timer that clears on any WDI edge and expires if WDI remains static beyond 209s (typ). The reset output remains asserted for the full 40ms timeout after VCC recovery, MR deassertion, or watchdog expiration.
Its BiCMOS process enables stable operation across -40°C to +85°C with supply voltage range 1.2V–5.5V, while the open-drain/push-pull output options support direct interfacing to diverse µP reset inputs. No external components are required - bypassing VCC with a 0.1µF capacitor suffices for noise immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typ at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring devices. |
| Reset Threshold | 3.200V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed to monitor 3.3V rails with precise brownout detection without calibration. |
| Reset Timeout | 40ms min - ensures µP completes power-up initialization before release from reset state. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s typ (L-suffix) - provides long-duration supervision for infrequently updated firmware or low-duty-cycle sensors. |
| VCC Validity Range | Reset valid down to VCC = +1.1V - guarantees reliable assertion even during deep brownout conditions. |
| MR Input Behavior | Internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ - supports direct switch-to-GND connection without external biasing. |
| WDI Pulse Detection | 150ns minimum pulse width - tolerates fast software toggles and avoids false watchdog clears from noise. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount, footprint compatible with industry-standard 5-pin supervisory ICs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin directly; no external pullup needed; sinks 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.38V. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane; shared return for all internal circuits. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - initiates reset when pulled low; internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); accepts CMOS logic levels. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - rising/falling edges clear internal timer; static high/low >209s triggers reset; 20nA max input current. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for brownout; operates from 1.2V to 5.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in glucose monitors powered by CR2032 cells. |
| Reset threshold accuracy | ±2.5% over temperature ensures consistent 3.2V trip point across -40°C to +85°C without trimming. |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy handheld devices. |
| No external components | Self-contained supervision - eliminates BOM cost and PCB area for RC timing networks or pullup resistors. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET remains functional down to VCC = +1.1V - critical for fail-safe behavior in low-voltage brownout scenarios. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Monitoring | Battery-Powered IoT Sensors |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K33DBVR | 3.08V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, no watchdog, 1.6µA ICC - higher quiescent current, no WDI functionality. | Suitable only for basic reset-only applications without software supervision needs. | Select when watchdog is unnecessary and cost is prioritized over ultra-low power. |
| MAX6361KA29D3+T | 2.93V threshold, 100ms timeout, no watchdog, 1.2µA ICC - lacks WDI but offers tighter 1.5% VTH tolerance. | Applicable where precise 2.93V brownout detection is required and software supervision is handled externally. | Choose for higher accuracy threshold where watchdog capability is redundant. |
Compared with TPS3836K33DBVR and MAX6361KA29D3+T, the MAX6865UK32D2L+T uniquely delivers nanopower operation (170nA vs >1µA), integrated 209s watchdog, and 3.2V threshold matching common 3.3V LDO outputs - making it optimal for long-life, safety-critical embedded systems requiring both voltage and software supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK32D2L+T?
The MAX6865UK32D2L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.200V with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature (-40°C to +85°C), corresponding to the "32" suffix in the part number per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table and ensures accurate supervision of 3.3V supply rails without external calibration.
Does the MAX6865UK32D2L+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK32D2L+T requires no external components for core functionality. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from VCC to GND is recommended for noise immunity, but no pullup resistors, timing capacitors, or voltage dividers are needed - the MR input has an internal 10kΩ pullup, and the RESET output is push-pull active-low.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of the MAX6865UK32D2L+T?
The MAX6865UK32D2L+T features a watchdog timer with 209s typical timeout (L-suffix), which expires if the WDI input remains static (high or low) beyond that period. Each rising or falling edge on WDI clears the timer; reset is asserted for the full 40ms timeout upon expiration. The timer is disabled during active RESET assertion.
Can the MAX6865UK32D2L+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.5V?
Yes, the MAX6865UK32D2L+T is fully specified from VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V. At 1.5V, all functions - including voltage monitoring, MR response, and WDI edge detection - operate within datasheet limits, with supply current dropping to ~190nA (typ).
How does the MAX6865UK32D2L+T handle short VCC transients?
The MAX6865UK32D2L+T is immune to VCC transients ≤40µs in duration when the overdrive is 100mV (i.e., VCC dips 100mV below the 3.2V threshold). This transient immunity prevents false resets in electrically noisy environments such as motor-driven handheld tools or ESD-prone medical devices - confirmed by the "Maximum VCC Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive" graph.
