Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK42D6L+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring ultra-low 170nA typical supply current, a factory-trimmed 4.200V reset threshold (±2.5%), and a 1200ms minimum reset timeout period. It integrates manual reset input (MR), watchdog timer with 209s typical timeout (L-suffix), and push-pull active-high RESET output - designed for reliable power-up/brownout monitoring in battery-critical systems like glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK42D6L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK42D6L+T pinout, MAX6865UK42D6L+T application, or MAX6865UK42D6L+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, functional pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all confirmed against Maxim's official datasheet (Rev 4, 12/2005) and ordering documentation.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK42D6L+T implements a dual-monitoring architecture: a precision voltage detector triggers reset when VCC falls below 4.200V (guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1.1V), while its watchdog timer monitors WDI activity and expires if no edge occurs within 209s (typ). Reset assertion persists for ≥1200ms after VCC recovery or MR deassertion, ensuring µP initialization completes before release.
Its push-pull active-high RESET output drives high (≥0.8×VCC) when asserted and low (≤0.3V) when deasserted under specified load conditions; MR is internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ and accepts CMOS-compatible logic levels. The device requires no external components and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typ at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries without compromising supervision reliability. |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 4.200V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed to monitor 4.2V Li-ion battery or 4.2V system rail with guaranteed accuracy over temperature. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 600–1200ms min - ensures sufficient time for µP boot sequence completion before releasing reset signal. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s typ (L-suffix) - provides long-duration software execution monitoring suitable for low-duty-cycle embedded firmware. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports supervision of diverse rails including 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains. |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-high - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and interfaces directly with µP reset inputs requiring high-active assertion. |
| MR Input Behavior | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch-to-GND implementation without external biasing components. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23-5, lead-free (RoHS-compliant), footprint compatible with industry-standard 5-pin SOT23 layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - asserts high during fault condition (VCC < 4.2V, MR low, or WDI timeout); sinks/source current per spec; no external pullup required. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane; shared return path for all internal circuits. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - initiates reset when pulled ≤0.3×VCC; internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ); immune to <200ns glitches. |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - clears internal timer on any rising or falling edge; timeout triggered if static for >209s (typ); accepts 150ns minimum pulse width. |
| 5 | VCC | Supply and monitored voltage input - powers device and serves as primary reset sense rail; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current at 1.8V - extends battery life in portable medical and IoT endpoints beyond 10 years. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET remains functional down to VCC = 1.1V - ensures supervision integrity during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors fail. |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments (e.g., motor-driven medical equipment). |
| No external components | Self-contained supervision - eliminates BOM cost, layout area, and qualification effort for discrete RC timing networks or pullup resistors. |
| Lead-free packaging | +T suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free SOT23-5 - meets global environmental compliance requirements without derating or performance trade-offs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK42D6L+T | No CT pin; identical 4.200V threshold, 1200ms timeout, 209s watchdog, and push-pull active-high RESET. | Lacks CT input - fixed timeout only; suitable where pin count is constrained and 1200ms is always required. | Select MAX6864UK42D6L+T when CT functionality is unnecessary and board space is premium. |
| TPS3838K33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, no watchdog, open-drain active-low RESET, 1.5µA ICC. | Lower integration - requires external pullup and cannot monitor 4.2V rails or detect firmware hangs. | Choose TPS3838K33DBVR only for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only systems without watchdog needs and where higher supply current is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX6865UK42D6L+T, MAX6864UK42D6L+T offers identical supervision specs but omits CT flexibility, while TPS3838K33DBVR trades nanopower efficiency and 4.2V compatibility for lower unit cost in simpler 3.3V applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK42D6L+T?
The MAX6865UK42D6L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of 4.200V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the official datasheet, where suffix "42" corresponds to 4.200V nominal. The device asserts reset when VCC falls below this threshold and maintains reset for ≥1200ms after VCC rises above it.
Does the MAX6865UK42D6L+T include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout?
Yes, the MAX6865UK42D6L+T includes a watchdog timer with a typical timeout of 209s, indicated by the "L" suffix in the part number. This is verified in Table 3 (Watchdog Timeout) of the datasheet. The timer resets on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and triggers a reset if WDI remains static beyond the timeout period - providing long-interval firmware execution monitoring ideal for low-duty-cycle applications.
What type of RESET output does the MAX6865UK42D6L+T provide?
The MAX6865UK42D6L+T provides a push-pull active-high RESET output, as confirmed in the Pin Description section for MAX6865 (page 8) and Selector Guide (page 16). When asserted, RESET drives high (≥0.8×VCC); when deasserted, it drives low (≤0.3V). This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and simplifies interface with µPs requiring high-active reset signals.
Is the MAX6865UK42D6L+T compatible with 1.8V or 2.5V supply rails?
Yes, the MAX6865UK42D6L+T operates across a VCC range of 1.2V to 5.5V and is fully specified at 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5.0V supply voltages. Its 170nA typical supply current at 1.8V and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.1V make it suitable for supervision of low-voltage logic domains, though its 4.200V threshold is optimized for monitoring 4.2V Li-ion battery rails.
What is the function of the CT pin on the MAX6865UK42D6L+T?
The MAX6865UK42D6L+T does not have a CT pin - CT is present only on MAX6861/MAX6862/MAX6863 variants for pin-selectable timeout. The MAX6865UK42D6L+T uses fixed timeout (D6 = 1200ms min) and lacks CT functionality, as confirmed in the Pin Description (page 8) and Selector Guide (page 16), which list CT only for MAX6861–MAX6863.
