Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK44D2S+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 4.266V reset threshold (±2.5%), and 40ms minimum reset timeout. It integrates manual reset input (MR), watchdog timer with 3.3s typical timeout, and push-pull active-high RESET output - designed for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection in battery-critical systems like glucose monitors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK44D2S+T datasheet, MAX6865UK44D2S+T pinout, MAX6865UK44D2S+T application, or MAX6865UK44D2S+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1.1V, immunity to short VCC transients (<40µs at 100mV overdrive), watchdog pulse detection capability (≥150ns), and lead-free SOT23-5 packaging compliant with RoHS requirements.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision voltage monitor with hysteresis (0.5% of VTH), a monostable reset timeout generator (tRP = 40ms min), and an edge-triggered watchdog timer that clears on any WDI transition (rising or falling) and expires if WDI remains static beyond 3.3s (typ). The internal MR pullup is 10kΩ, and reset assertion is guaranteed even as VCC falls to 1.1V.
The MAX6865UK44D2S+T belongs to the MAX6864–MAX6869 variant group with active-high push-pull RESET, manual reset input, and watchdog timer enabled. Its watchdog timeout is fixed at S-suffix (3.3s typ), and reset threshold is fixed at 44-suffix (4.266V min / 4.375V typ / 4.484V max), per Table 2 and Table 4 of the datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 170nA typical at VCC = 1.8V; enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered devices |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 4.266V (min), 4.375V (typ), 4.484V (max); factory-trimmed for ±2.5% accuracy across -40°C to +85°C |
| Reset Timeout Period | 40ms minimum (D2 option); ensures µP completes power stabilization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 3.3s typical (S-suffix); detects firmware hangs without requiring software polling overhead |
| VCC Validity Range | Reset asserted valid down to VCC = +1.1V; guarantees deterministic behavior during deep brownout |

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 output referenced to VCC; drives high during reset assertion; no external pullup required |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC via 10kΩ; accepts CMOS logic levels |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge clears internal timer; static state >3.3s triggers reset |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input (1.2V–5.5V); monitored for reset generation; bypass with 0.1µF to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 170nA typical supply current enables multi-year operation on CR2032 coin cells |
| Guaranteed reset at low VCC | Valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V prevents undefined µP states during brownout |
| No external components | Integrated MR pullup, precision voltage reference, and timeout generator eliminate BOM cost and layout area |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤40µs duration at 100mV overdrive, reducing false resets in noisy environments |
| Edge-triggered watchdog | Detects both rising and falling WDI transitions; eliminates need for software toggling direction management |
Applications
| Glucose Monitors | Patient Monitoring Devices |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Portable handheld glucose meters powered by single CR2032 battery with intermittent usage over 2+ years. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory IC asserting active-high RESET to ARM Cortex-M0 host MCU during power-up, brownout, or firmware hang. Use Value: 170nA quiescent current extends battery life; 4.266V reset threshold matches LiMnO₂ battery discharge curve; 3.3s watchdog catches missed ADC interrupt service. |
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG patch with Bluetooth LE transmission, operating from rechargeable Li-ion cell with tight power budget. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System-level reset supervisor monitoring main 3.3V rail and triggering recovery when BLE stack locks or sensor FIFO overflows. Use Value: Guaranteed reset down to VCC = 1.1V ensures safe shutdown before data corruption; MR input allows clinical staff-initiated recalibration reset. |
| MP3 Players | Industrial Handheld Terminals |
Use Scenario: Flash-based audio player using NAND storage, subject to voltage droop during SD card writes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage monitor and watchdog co-supervisor ensuring clean reset after write-induced brownout or firmware crash. Use Value: 40ms reset timeout exceeds NAND controller power-up sequence; open-drain compatibility not needed due to push-pull RESET simplifying PCB routing. |
Use Scenario: Ruggedized barcode scanner with cold-temperature operation (-20°C) and frequent drop-induced MCU resets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset source coordinating with PMIC, asserting RESET until 3.3V rail stabilizes post-power-cycle. Use Value: Immunity to 40µs VCC transients prevents false resets from mechanical shock-induced supply bounce; MR pin enables field-service hard reset. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK44D2S+T | Active-low push-pull RESET output; identical VTH, tRP, tWD, and pinout except RESET polarity | Requires inverted logic interface on µP reset input; unsuitable where host expects active-high assertion | Select only if host MCU reset pin is active-low and board layout cannot accommodate level-shifting |
| TPS3837K33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; 200ms min reset timeout; no watchdog timer; 1.6µA ICC (typ) | Lacks watchdog functionality; higher supply current reduces battery lifetime; suitable only for simple power-monitoring use cases | Choose when watchdog is unnecessary and system operates exclusively at 3.3V with ample power margin |
Compared with MAX6865UK44D2S+T, the MAX6864UK44D2S+T offers identical supervision timing but requires host logic inversion, while the TPS3837K33DBVR trades watchdog capability and nanopower operation for lower cost and simpler qualification in non-battery-critical 3.3V systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK44D2S+T?
The MAX6865UK44D2S+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.266V (minimum), 4.375V (typical), and 4.484V (maximum) at TA = +25°C, with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature. This corresponds to the "44" suffix in the part number per Table 2 of the datasheet, and is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range.
Does the MAX6865UK44D2S+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK44D2S+T requires no external components for core supervision functionality. Its MR input features an internal 10kΩ pullup, the watchdog timer and reset timeout are fully integrated, and the push-pull active-high RESET output needs no external pullup. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor on VCC is recommended for noise immunity but is not strictly required for functional operation.
How does the watchdog timer in the MAX6865UK44D2S+T respond to firmware activity?
The MAX6865UK44D2S+T watchdog timer clears on any detected edge (rising or falling) at the WDI pin and expires only if WDI remains static for longer than 3.3s (typical). Unlike edge-counting watchdogs, it does not require alternating high/low pulses - a single toggle suffices. This behavior is confirmed in the "Watchdog Input" section and Figure 3 of the datasheet.
Can the MAX6865UK44D2S+T operate reliably below 1.8V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6865UK44D2S+T is fully specified from VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V. At 1.2V, supply current remains ultra-low (190nA typ), and reset timing parameters including tRP and tMRD remain within specification - enabling robust operation in deeply scaled battery-powered systems.
What is the function of Pin 1 on the MAX6865UK44D2S+T?
Pin 1 of the MAX6865UK44D2S+T is the RESET output terminal, configured as an active-high push-pull driver. During reset assertion (due to VCC drop, MR activation, or watchdog timeout), it drives high to VCC; upon deassertion, it drives low. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and provides strong drive capability into µP reset inputs.
