Product details
Overview
MAX6865UK42D1S+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, factory-trimmed 4.200V reset threshold (±2.5%), 10ms 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 µP initialization during brownout or software lockup.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK42D1S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK42D1S+T pinout, MAX6865UK42D1S+T application, or MAX6865UK42D1S+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact pin roles, confirmed reset/watchdog timing, true low-power behavior down to VCC = 1.1V, and validated alternative options for portable equipment design.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK42D1S+T integrates voltage monitoring, a manual reset input (MR), and a watchdog timer that triggers reset if WDI remains static beyond 3.3s (typ). Its internal reset timeout generator ensures 10ms minimum assertion after VCC recovery or MR deassertion.
It uses BiCMOS process with 2848 transistors, guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1.1V, and features immunity to VCC transients ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive. The active-low push-pull RESET output is referenced to VCC and sinks ≥50µA at 0.3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typical at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Reset Threshold | 4.200V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at 4.2V nominal supply |
| Reset Timeout | 10ms minimum - ensures µP reset pulse meets minimum hold-time requirements |
| Watchdog Timeout | 3.3s typical (S-suffix) - detects firmware hangs in low-duty-cycle embedded applications |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports wide-input battery systems including single Li-ion and dual alkaline |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates external pull-up resistor and simplifies interface to µP reset pin |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pull-up - allows direct switch-to-GND connection without external components |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free, -40°C to +85°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - asserts low during VCC undervoltage, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout; drives µP reset pin directly |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must connect to system ground plane for stable reset threshold and noise immunity |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - initiates reset when pulled low; internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ) |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - requires edge transition every <3.3s to prevent reset; accepts CMOS-level signals |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for reset generation; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for noise rejection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical enables >10-year shelf life in glucose monitors powered by CR2032 cells |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Valid down to VCC = 1.1V - ensures reset assertion even during deep brownout before µP power collapse |
| No external components | Internal MR pull-up, no RC timing network required - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained wearables |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy automotive or industrial environments |
| Watchdog edge sensitivity | Detects WDI pulses as short as 150ns - supports high-frequency software heartbeat signaling without timing margin loss |
Applications
| Portable Glucose Monitors | Patient Vital Sign Loggers |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Miniaturized rechargeable hearing aid with real-time audio processing and NFC programming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 1.2V–1.8V regulated rail and asserts reset if VCC drops below 4.200V (indicating charger disconnect or battery fault). Use Value: 10ms reset timeout satisfies ARM reset hold-time spec while minimizing wake-up latency after power recovery. |
Use Scenario: Handheld BLE controller for hospital infusion pumps with tactile feedback and low-power display. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Combines MR-initiated factory reset and WDI-monitored firmware execution to prevent command lockup. Use Value: MR internal 10kΩ pull-up enables momentary switch interface without external R, saving board space in compact plastic housing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK42D1S+T | No CT pin; identical 4.200V threshold, 10ms timeout, 3.3s watchdog, and push-pull RESET | Lacks pin-selectable timeout - fixed D1 option only, no flexibility for future design variants | Select MAX6865UK42D1S+T when MR and WDI functions are required with same timing specs and pinout |
| TPS3836K33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, no watchdog, open-drain RESET, 1.5µA ICC | Higher supply current limits battery life; lacks WDI for firmware supervision | Choose only if system operates at 3.3V nominal and watchdog functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6864UK42D1S+T, the MAX6865UK42D1S+T offers identical core supervision but belongs to a variant group with MR support confirmed in all configurations; versus TPS3836K33DBVR, it delivers 10× lower ICC and integrated watchdog-critical for long-life medical devices.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6865UK42D1S+T?
The MAX6865UK42D1S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.200V with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature (-40°C to +85°C), as defined by the "42" suffix per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is measured at VCC falling and ensures precise brownout detection for 4.2V nominal Li-ion systems. The MAX6865UK42D1S+T guarantees reset assertion before VCC drops below 4.095V and release after VCC rises above 4.305V.
Does MAX6865UK42D1S+T include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout?
Yes, the MAX6865UK42D1S+T includes a watchdog timer with a typical timeout of 3.3s, indicated by the "S" suffix in the part number. The timer expires if the WDI pin remains static (high or low) beyond this period, triggering a reset pulse for the configured 10ms minimum duration. The MAX6865UK42D1S+T watchdog clears on any WDI edge, MR assertion, or active RESET, enabling robust firmware supervision in portable medical devices.
What is the supply current of MAX6865UK42D1S+T at 1.8V and room temperature?
The MAX6865UK42D1S+T draws 170nA typical supply current at VCC = 1.8V and TA = +25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low ICC enables multi-year operation on standard coin-cell batteries and is confirmed across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), with maximum ICC remaining under 400nA at 1.8V. The MAX6865UK42D1S+T achieves this while maintaining full reset, MR, and watchdog functionality.
What package type and pin count does MAX6865UK42D1S+T use?
The MAX6865UK42D1S+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package with lead-free finish, as confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Pin Configurations diagram. Pin 1 is RESET (active-low push-pull), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR, Pin 4 is WDI, and Pin 5 is VCC. This compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint is optimized for space-constrained portable electronics such as hearing aids and wearable sensors.
Can MAX6865UK42D1S+T operate reliably down to 1.1V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6865UK42D1S+T guarantees valid reset output functionality down to VCC = 1.1V, as explicitly stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Detailed Description sections. Below this voltage, RESET remains asserted to hold the microprocessor in reset, preventing undefined operation. This feature ensures fail-safe behavior during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors may lose output control. The MAX6865UK42D1S+T maintains this specification across its full -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
