Product details
Overview
MAX6865UK41D4S+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 4.1V 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 portable electronics to ensure reliable µP reset during power-up, brownout, or software hang.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK41D4S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK41D4S+T pinout, MAX6865UK41D4S+T application, or MAX6865UK41D4S+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to short VCC transients (<40µs at 100mV overdrive), push-pull active-high RESET output, and integrated 10kΩ MR pullup - critical for low-power, noise-sensitive embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK41D4S+T implements a dual-trigger reset architecture: it asserts reset when VCC falls below 4.1V, when MR is pulled low, or when the watchdog input (WDI) remains static beyond 3.3s (typ). Its internal watchdog timer clears on any WDI edge, MR assertion, or RESET assertion, enabling robust software execution monitoring.
Reset deassertion follows a fixed 1200ms timeout after VCC exceeds 4.1V *and* MR is released; the push-pull active-high RESET output is referenced to VCC and sinks ≤0.3V at 1.2mA load. The device operates across -40°C to +85°C with no external components required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typ at VCC = 1.8V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable devices |
| Reset Threshold | 4.100V ±2.5% (suffix "41"); precisely matches 4.2V Li-ion battery full-charge monitoring |
| Reset Timeout | 1200ms min (suffix "D4"); ensures µP completes full boot sequence before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 3.3s typ (suffix "S"); balances fault detection speed against false triggers in interrupt-driven firmware |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-high; eliminates need for external pullup and supports direct µP reset pin interface |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; valid reset assertion guaranteed down to VCC = 1.1V for deep brownout coverage |
| MR Input | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup; accepts CMOS logic levels and requires no external bias |
Pinout & Package
MAX6865UK41D4S+T is housed in a lead-free 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with industry-standard supervisory ICs. Pin 1 is RESET (active-high push-pull), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR (manual reset input), Pin 4 is WDI (watchdog input), and Pin 5 is VCC (supply voltage input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output; drives µP reset pin directly without pullup resistor |
| 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); debounced by design |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; edge-sensitive (rising/falling); resets internal timer on each transition |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input; monitored for reset generation; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; no watchdog timer; 200ms reset timeout; SOT23-5 package | Suitable only for systems requiring 3.3V rail monitoring without software hang protection | Select when watchdog functionality is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs feature set |
| MAX6361KA29D3+T | 2.93V reset threshold; 150ms timeout; no watchdog; push-pull active-low RESET; same SOT23-5 footprint | Designed for lower-voltage logic rails (e.g., 3.0V µPs); lacks WDI for firmware supervision | Choose for legacy designs using active-low reset inputs and simpler supervision requirements |
Compared with TPS3836K33DBVR and MAX6361KA29D3+T, the MAX6865UK41D4S+T uniquely combines 4.1V precision threshold, 1200ms extended reset hold, and integrated 3.3s watchdog - making it the only option for battery-powered medical devices requiring both brownout resilience and software execution integrity.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK41D4S+T?
The MAX6865UK41D4S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.100V with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature (-40°C to +85°C), as defined by the "41" suffix in its part number per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is guaranteed by design and tested during production, ensuring precise brownout detection for 4.2V Li-ion battery systems.
Does the MAX6865UK41D4S+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK41D4S+T operates autonomously with no external components required. It integrates a 10kΩ internal pullup on the MR pin, precision voltage reference, watchdog oscillator, and reset timer. Only a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on VCC to GND is recommended for noise suppression in noisy environments.
How does the watchdog timer in the MAX6865UK41D4S+T respond to firmware activity?
The MAX6865UK41D4S+T watchdog timer resets on every rising or falling edge at the WDI pin. If WDI remains static (high or low) for longer than 3.3s (typical), the timer expires and asserts RESET for 1200ms. The timer clears instantly on any WDI transition, MR assertion, or RESET assertion - enabling tight integration with firmware loops.
What is the function of Pin 1 (RESET) on the MAX6865UK41D4S+T?
Pin 1 of the MAX6865UK41D4S+T is an active-high push-pull RESET output. It drives high (to VCC) when reset is asserted and low when deasserted. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and allows direct connection to microprocessors with active-high reset inputs, such as many ARM Cortex-M series devices.
Can the MAX6865UK41D4S+T operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX6865UK41D4S+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.1V, ensuring robust operation during deep brownout conditions. Below this voltage, its ability to sink current declines, but for most µPs that cease operation above 1.1V, this specification provides full functional coverage across the usable battery discharge range.
