Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK44D1L+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 4.266V reset threshold (suffix "44"), 10ms minimum reset timeout (D1), and 209s typical watchdog timeout (L). It monitors VCC, responds to manual reset (MR), and triggers reset on watchdog expiration - ideal for battery-powered glucose monitors requiring reliable brownout protection and software fault recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK44D1L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK44D1L+T pinout, MAX6865UK44D1L+T application, or MAX6865UK44D1L+T equivalent, this device delivers validated low-voltage reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to sub-40µs VCC transients, and guaranteed timing behavior across –40°C to +85°C - critical for portable medical and wearables design.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK44D1L+T integrates a precision voltage monitor with ±2.5% threshold accuracy, a 209s watchdog timer that clears on any WDI edge, and a 10ms reset timeout generator. Its MR input includes internal 10kΩ pullup and 200ns glitch rejection, enabling robust manual reset without external components.
This variant belongs to the MAX6864–MAX6869 series with active-low push-pull RESET output, dedicated WDI pin, and no CT pin - distinguishing it from pin-selectable timeout variants (e.g., MAX6861–MAX6863) and non-watchdog parts (e.g., MAX6854–MAX6856).

Applications
| Glucose Monitors | Patient Monitoring Devices |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Continuous glucose sensing with Bluetooth LE transmission during intermittent sleep mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3V system rail and validates µP boot sequence after wake-up; asserts reset if firmware hangs during BLE reconnection. Use Value: Prevents undetected sensor calibration drift by forcing full restart on watchdog timeout, leveraging 209s window to accommodate extended low-power intervals. |
Use Scenario: Portable ECG recorder with dual-battery backup and auto-shutdown on low charge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors main 5V rail and triggers hardware reset if VCC drops below 4.266V during battery switchover. Use Value: Ensures deterministic state recovery using 10ms reset timeout - faster than typical µP power-on reset requirements. |
| Wearable Fitness Trackers | Industrial Handheld Scanners |
|
Use Scenario: Accelerometer-based activity detection with motion-triggered wake-up and firmware self-test. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides manual reset via button press (MR) and watchdog supervision of motion-interrupt service routine execution. Use Value: Eliminates need for RC reset network while maintaining 170nA quiescent draw - extends 200mAh coin-cell life beyond 3 years. |
Use Scenario: Rugged barcode scanner operating in warehouse environments with 12V-to-3.3V DC/DC noise coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects VCC brownouts caused by motor startup transients and asserts clean reset to ARM Cortex-M0. Use Value: Withstands 40µs VCC dips without false triggering - avoids field failures due to switching noise on shared power rails. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK44D1L+T | Same 4.266V threshold, 10ms timeout, 209s watchdog, but open-drain RESET output | Requires external pullup resistor; less suitable for direct µP reset input without level-shifting | Select when interfacing to mixed-voltage systems where RESET must be pulled to a different rail |
| TPS3836K33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no watchdog, 1.6µA ICC | Lacks software fault recovery; higher current draw reduces battery life in ultra-low-power designs | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-watchdog applications with stable 3.3V supply and no runtime code validation needs |
Compared with MAX6864UK44D1L+T and TPS3836K33DBVR, the MAX6865UK44D1L+T uniquely combines push-pull RESET, nanopower consumption, and long watchdog timeout - making it optimal for battery-critical medical and portable devices requiring both power efficiency and runtime reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK44D1L+T?
The MAX6865UK44D1L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.266V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% (4.193V to 4.408V) across –40°C to +85°C. This value corresponds to the "44" suffix per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide and is optimized for monitoring 3.3V or 5V rails with margin against ripple-induced false resets. The MAX6865UK44D1L+T maintains this accuracy without external calibration.
Does the MAX6865UK44D1L+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No. The MAX6865UK44D1L+T features an active-low push-pull RESET output, which actively drives low and high states without needing an external pullup. This simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count compared to open-drain variants like MAX6864UK44D1L+T. The MAX6865UK44D1L+T's VOH is guaranteed ≥0.8×VCC when sourcing 200µA, ensuring reliable logic-high assertion.
How does the watchdog timer in the MAX6865UK44D1L+T respond to software faults?
The MAX6865UK44D1L+T watchdog timer expires after 209s (typical, L suffix) if no rising or falling edge occurs on the WDI pin. Upon expiration, it asserts RESET for the 10ms timeout period (D1), forcing a full µP restart. The timer clears on every WDI transition - enabling robust software heartbeat implementation. The MAX6865UK44D1L+T detects pulses as short as 150ns, supporting high-frequency firmware polling.
Can the MAX6865UK44D1L+T operate reliably below 1.2V supply voltage?
Yes. The MAX6865UK44D1L+T guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, with VOL ≤ 0.3V when sinking 50µA. While functional operation is specified from 1.2V to 5.5V, its ability to assert reset at 1.1V ensures fail-safe behavior during deep brownout conditions. This capability is explicitly characterized and tested - a key differentiator of the MAX6865UK44D1L+T versus higher-current supervisors.
What is the maximum VCC transient duration the MAX6865UK44D1L+T can ignore without asserting reset?
The MAX6865UK44D1L+T is immune to VCC transients ≤40µs in duration when the overdrive is 100mV above its 4.266V threshold - per the "Maximum VCC Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive" curve. This immunity prevents false resets caused by switching noise or load-dump events in portable equipment. The MAX6865UK44D1L+T achieves this via internal filtering and hysteresis (0.5% of VTH), not external components.
