Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK39D3L+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 3.9V reset threshold (±2.5%), 300ms 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, power-up, or watchdog expiration - used in battery-powered glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK39D3L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK39D3L+T pinout, MAX6865UK39D3L+T application, or MAX6865UK39D3L+T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed reset timing behavior, and real-world design context for low-power embedded systems requiring guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK39D3L+T implements a precision voltage monitor with hysteresis (0.5% of VTH), a digital watchdog timer that clears on any WDI edge and expires if WDI remains static >209s (typ), and a fixed 300ms reset timeout after VCC recovery or MR deassertion. Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup and glitch rejection (200ns) enable direct switch interfacing without external components.
This device belongs to the MAX6864–MAX6869 series with active-high push-pull RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog input (WDI). It operates across -40°C to +85°C, guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = +1.1V, and is immune to VCC transients ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - critical for noisy battery-supplied environments.
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 | 3.900V ±2.5% (VTH = 3.802V to 3.998V); factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection. |
| Reset Timeout | 300ms min (D3 option); ensures µP initialization completes before release. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s typ (L suffix); supports long-loop firmware without spurious resets. |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; valid reset assertion guaranteed down to VCC = +1.1V. |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull RESET; drives directly into µP reset pin without pullup. |
| MR Input | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup; accepts CMOS logic or momentary switch to GND. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, surface-mount. Pin 1 is RESET (active-high push-pull), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR (active-low manual reset), Pin 4 is WDI (watchdog input), Pin 5 is VCC (supply voltage input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output; asserts high during fault conditions and holds for 300ms after recovery. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits; must connect to system ground plane. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); initiates reset when pulled low ≥1µs. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising or falling edge clears internal timer; static state >209s triggers reset. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input (1.2V–5.5V); monitored for brownout; bypass with 0.1µF to GND. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK39D3L+T | Same 3.9V threshold, 300ms timeout, and 209s watchdog, but features active-low push-pull RESET output. | Requires inverted reset logic on µP side; not drop-in compatible where active-high reset is mandatory. | Select when host µP accepts active-low reset and board layout already accommodates pullup-free interface. |
| TPS3838K33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, no watchdog, 200ms timeout, 1.2µA ICC - 7× higher supply current than MAX6865UK39D3L+T. | Suitable only for non-watchdog applications with higher VCC margin; cannot replace watchdog functionality. | Choose only if cost is primary constraint and 209s watchdog monitoring is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6865UK39D3L+T, MAX6864UK39D3L+T offers identical supervision specs but inverted RESET polarity, while TPS3838K33DBVR lacks watchdog capability and consumes significantly more current - making MAX6865UK39D3L+T the sole choice for ultra-low-power, watchdog-enabled designs requiring active-high reset.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK39D3L+T?
The MAX6865UK39D3L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.900V with ±2.5% tolerance (3.802V to 3.998V), as defined by the "39" suffix per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C and ensures precise brownout detection for 3.3V and 3.6V systems. The MAX6865UK39D3L+T maintains this accuracy without external calibration.
Does the MAX6865UK39D3L+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK39D3L+T requires no external components for core functionality: it includes an internal 10kΩ pullup on MR, precision voltage reference, and watchdog timer. Only a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from VCC to GND is recommended for noise suppression. No pullup/pulldown resistors are needed for RESET due to its active-high push-pull output.
How does the watchdog timer in the MAX6865UK39D3L+T behave during reset assertion?
While RESET is asserted (high), the MAX6865UK39D3L+T watchdog timer is disabled and does not count. It resumes timing only after RESET deasserts. This prevents race conditions during recovery and ensures the watchdog monitors only active firmware execution - a behavior confirmed in the device's functional diagram and timing figures.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6865UK39D3L+T guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX6865UK39D3L+T guarantees RESET output validity down to VCC = +1.1V, as explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Below this voltage, RESET may become indeterminate. This specification enables reliable reset assertion during deep battery discharge in medical and portable applications.
Can the MAX6865UK39D3L+T be used with a microcontroller that requires active-low reset?
No - the MAX6865UK39D3L+T provides only active-high push-pull RESET output. For active-low reset requirements, use the pin-compatible MAX6864UK39D3L+T (same threshold, timeout, and watchdog) or add an inverter stage. Direct connection to an active-low reset pin would invert system behavior and cause malfunction.
