Product details
Overview
The MAX6865UK45D5L+T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 5-pin SOT23 package, combining voltage monitoring, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer (WDI) with active-high push-pull RESET output. It asserts reset when VCC drops below 4.500V (typ), MR is pulled low, or WDI fails to toggle within 209s (typ). Designed for ultra-low-power systems, it draws only 170nA (typ) supply current and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = +1.1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6865UK45D5L+T datasheet, MAX6865UK45D5L+T pinout, MAX6865UK45D5L+T application, or MAX6865UK45D5L+T equivalent, this device serves as a critical power-on reset and software fault recovery element in battery-constrained embedded systems where supply current, brownout immunity, and watchdog timeout stability are design-critical parameters.
Technical Context
The MAX6865UK45D5L+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, paired with a temperature-stable RC-based watchdog timer offering 209s typical timeout (L-suffix). Its internal 10kΩ MR pullup enables direct switch interfacing without external components.
This variant features push-pull active-high RESET output referenced to VCC, factory-trimmed 4.500V reset threshold (suffix "45"), 450ms minimum reset timeout (D5), and L-suffix 209s watchdog timeout - all integrated into a single 5-pin SOT23-5 package with no external timing components required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.500V (typ), ±2.5% tolerance - ensures reliable brownout detection at nominal 4.5V rail without false triggers |
| Supply Current | 170nA (typ) at +25°C - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable medical devices |
| Reset Timeout | 450ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for slow-starting µPs and peripheral initialization sequences |
| Watchdog Timeout | 209s (typ), L-suffix - supports long-loop firmware execution while detecting catastrophic hangs |
| Operating Voltage | 1.2V to 5.5V - allows use across 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains with guaranteed reset validity down to 1.1V |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-high RESET - eliminates need for external pullup and simplifies interface to µP reset inputs requiring high-active assertion |
| MR Input | Active-low with 10kΩ internal pullup - enables momentary switch reset without external biasing components |
Pinout & Package
MAX6865UK45D5L+T is housed in a lead-free 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.3mm height and 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin numbering follows standard SOT23 orientation (counterclockwise from mark).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives high during reset condition; compatible with µP reset inputs expecting high-active assertion |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane with low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; driven low to initiate reset independent of VCC level |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - rising or falling edge clears internal timer; sustained high/low >209s triggers reset |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - monitored for reset generation; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 170nA typical - extends battery life in glucose monitors and wearables beyond 5 years on CR2032 |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Down to VCC = +1.1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | No reset for ≤40µs transients at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy automotive or industrial environments |
| No external components required | Integrated MR pullup, timing elements, and voltage reference - reduces BOM count and PCB area by ≥3 passives |
| Watchdog transition detection | 150ns minimum pulse width support - accommodates fast µP I/O toggling without missing watchdog refreshes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6864UK45D5S+T | Same package and reset threshold, but S-suffix watchdog timeout (3.3s typ) instead of L-suffix (209s) | Suitable for applications requiring rapid watchdog response (e.g., motor control firmware), not long-interval monitoring | Select when shorter watchdog timeout aligns with firmware loop timing; not drop-in for 209s requirement |
| TPS3837K33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no watchdog timer, SOT23-5 package | Lacks WDI functionality; requires external circuitry for software fault detection | Use only if watchdog capability is unnecessary and 3.3V threshold suffices; not functionally equivalent |
Compared with MAX6864UK45D5S+T and TPS3837K33DBVR, the MAX6865UK45D5L+T uniquely delivers 4.5V threshold, 450ms reset hold, and 209s watchdog in one nanopower package - making it irreplaceable for long-cycle battery-powered medical and telemetry systems requiring both precise brownout detection and extended hang detection.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6865UK45D5L+T?
The MAX6865UK45D5L+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of +4.500V (typical), with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C. This value is confirmed in Table 2 (Threshold Suffix Guide) of the datasheet, where suffix "45" corresponds to 4.500V. The device guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1.1V, ensuring reliability during deep brownout conditions.
Does the MAX6865UK45D5L+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6865UK45D5L+T operates autonomously with no external components required. It integrates an internal 10kΩ pullup on the MR pin, precision voltage reference, RC timing for reset and watchdog functions, and push-pull driver circuitry. Only a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on VCC is recommended for noise immunity - no resistors, capacitors, or diodes are needed for core supervision functionality.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of the MAX6865UK45D5L+T?
The MAX6865UK45D5L+T features an L-suffix watchdog timer with 209s typical timeout (95s min, 487s max). The timer resets on any rising or falling edge at WDI and expires only if WDI remains static (high or low) beyond that period. Upon expiration, it asserts the active-high RESET output for the full 450ms (D5) reset timeout - providing deterministic recovery from firmware hangs in long-interval applications like environmental sensors.
How does the MAX6865UK45D5L+T handle VCC supply transients?
The MAX6865UK45D5L+T is designed to ignore short VCC transients: it will not assert reset for glitches ≤40µs duration when overdriven by 100mV above threshold, as shown in the "Maximum VCC Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive" graph. This immunity prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments such as industrial handhelds or automotive accessory modules where supply ripple is common.
Is the MAX6865UK45D5L+T pin-compatible with other MAX68xx variants?
The MAX6865UK45D5L+T shares the same 5-pin SOT23-5 footprint and pinout (RESET, GND, MR, WDI, VCC) with MAX6864–MAX6866 and MAX6867–MAX6869 families. However, pin compatibility does not imply functional equivalence - for example, MAX6865 offers active-high push-pull RESET, while MAX6866 provides open-drain active-low. Direct substitution requires verification of reset polarity, timeout, and watchdog suffix alignment.
