Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK37D4S+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, combining voltage monitoring, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer (WDI) functions. It asserts an active-low push-pull RESET when VCC drops below 3.608V (typ), MR is pulled low, or WDI fails to toggle within 3.3s (typ). Designed for ultra-low-power systems, it draws only 170nA (typ) supply current and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = +1.1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK37D4S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK37D4S+T pinout, MAX6865UK37D4S+T application, or MAX6865UK37D4S+T equivalent, this device serves as a critical power-on reset and software fault recovery element in battery-constrained portable medical and consumer electronics where supply stability, timing predictability, and sub-µA quiescent current are mandatory.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK37D4S+T implements a dual-threshold voltage monitor with factory-trimmed 3.608V (±2.5%) reset threshold and 0.5% hysteresis, ensuring immunity to short VCC transients (e.g., ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive). Its watchdog timer detects WDI inactivity with 3.3s typical timeout (S-suffix), clearing on any rising/falling edge and pausing during RESET assertion.
This device integrates a 10kΩ internal MR pullup, supports 1200ms minimum reset timeout (D4 suffix), and delivers push-pull active-high RESET output referenced to VCC - requiring no external components beyond a 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor. It operates across –40°C to +85°C and remains functional down to VCC = 1.1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.608V (typ), ±2.5% tolerance - ensures reliable brownout detection at nominal 3.6V rail without external calibration |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on patient monitors |
| Reset Timeout | 1200ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for slow-starting µPs and peripheral initialization sequences |
| Watchdog Timeout | 3.3s (typ), S-suffix - balances fault coverage and software execution margin for embedded firmware loops |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level shifters |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-high - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and ensures defined logic state during VCC ramp |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable medical environments including glucose monitors |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount. Compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint with 0.95mm height, optimized for space-constrained portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives high during fault condition; sinks/source current per VOH/VOL specs; no external pullup required |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane; shared return for all internal circuits |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; accepts CMOS logic; 1µs minimum pulse width |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive (rising/falling); clears internal timer on transition; immune to <150ns glitches |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for reset generation; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in low-duty-cycle medical wearables |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET remains functional down to VCC = +1.1V - ensures fail-safe behavior during deep brownout |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| No external components | Integrates MR pullup, precision voltage reference, and watchdog oscillator - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Factory-trimmed accuracy | ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance eliminates need for external resistor networks or calibration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK37D4S+T | Same 3.608V threshold, 1200ms timeout, and 3.3s watchdog - but features active-low push-pull RESET output instead of active-high. | Requires redesign of RESET net polarity; incompatible with µPs expecting active-high reset assertion. | Select when existing schematic uses active-low reset logic and board layout cannot accommodate signal inversion. |
| TPS3836K33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no watchdog; 1.6µA ICC - 10× higher quiescent current than MAX6865UK37D4S+T. | Suitable only for non-battery-critical applications; lacks WDI fault coverage and nanopower operation. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs battery life requirements and watchdog functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6865UK37D4S+T, MAX6864UK37D4S+T offers identical supervision parameters but inverted RESET polarity, while TPS3836K33DBVR trades nanopower operation and watchdog capability for lower unit cost and simpler integration in line-powered systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK37D4S+T?
The MAX6865UK37D4S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.608V (typical), with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature and process variation. This value corresponds to the '37' suffix in the part number per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide (Table 2), and is guaranteed valid from –40°C to +85°C without external calibration.
Does the MAX6865UK37D4S+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK37D4S+T requires no external components for core supervision functionality. It integrates a 10kΩ MR pullup resistor, precision voltage reference, and watchdog oscillator. Only a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VCC and GND is recommended for noise immunity - no resistors, capacitors, or diodes are needed for reset timing or threshold setting.
What is the function of the WDI pin on the MAX6865UK37D4S+T?
The WDI (Watchdog Input) pin on the MAX6865UK37D4S+T monitors microprocessor activity: if WDI remains static (high or low) for longer than 3.3s (typical, S-suffix), the internal watchdog timer expires and triggers a reset for 1200ms. The timer clears on any rising or falling edge at WDI and pauses while RESET is asserted.
Can the MAX6865UK37D4S+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX6865UK37D4S+T is fully specified to operate at VCC = 1.2V (minimum), with guaranteed reset assertion and valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.1V. Its 170nA typical supply current and functional reset behavior at this voltage make it suitable for ultra-low-voltage energy-harvesting or coin-cell systems.
How does the MAX6865UK37D4S+T differ from the MAX6864UK37D4S+T?
The MAX6865UK37D4S+T and MAX6864UK37D4S+T share identical reset threshold (3.608V), timeout (1200ms), and watchdog period (3.3s), but differ in RESET output polarity: MAX6865UK37D4S+T provides active-high push-pull RESET, while MAX6864UK37D4S+T provides active-low push-pull RESET - requiring corresponding µP interface compatibility verification.
