Product details
Overview
STM6825MWY6F from STMicroelectronics is a 5-pin precision voltage supervisor IC with watchdog timer and manual reset input, designed for microprocessor reset management in industrial embedded systems. It monitors VCC at 3.3 V (±2.5%), asserts active-low push-pull RST for ≥1.4 ms, features 1.6 s watchdog timeout, and guarantees reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V. Used in power-up sequencing and fault recovery of MCU-based controllers.
For engineers reviewing the STM6825MWY6F datasheet, STM6825MWY6F pinout, STM6825MWY6F application, or STM6825MWY6F equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options - all grounded in ST's production datasheet DocID11110 Rev 14.
Technical Context
The STM6825MWY6F integrates a precision voltage reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 3.3 V threshold (±2.5%). Its reset logic asserts RST low on VCC undervoltage, MR low, or watchdog timeout - with guaranteed validity down to VCC = 1.0 V across –40 to +85 °C.
It implements a 1.6 s (typ.) watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions; WDI can be left floating to disable watchdog functionality. The active-low push-pull RST output drives directly into MCU reset pins without external pull-ups, supporting immediate deassertion after trec (1.4 ms typ.) upon VCC recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Threshold | 3.3 V ±2.5% - precisely triggers reset during 3.3 V rail collapse, avoiding false resets near nominal supply. |
| RST Pulse Width | 1.4 ms (typ.) - meets minimum reset hold time for ARM Cortex-M and similar MCUs during power-up. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s (typ.) - provides sufficient margin for firmware watchdog service loops without premature timeout. |
| Supply Current | 3 µA (typ., VCC < 3.6 V) - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed or ultra-low-power systems. |
| Operating Temp | –40 to +85 °C - certified for industrial-grade operation without derating in harsh ambient environments. |
| VCC Validity Limit | 1.0 V - ensures reliable reset assertion even during deep brown-out, preventing MCU lockup below 1.2 V core logic. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low, push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and supports direct connection to bidirectional MCU reset I/O. |
Pinout & Package
STM6825MWY6F is housed in a standard 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AB), with 1.3 mm height, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, and gull-wing leads compatible with automated PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6 s prevents reset assertion; floating disables watchdog function. |
| 2: VCC | Power supply | Monitored 3.3 V rail input; device operates from 1.0–5.5 V but supervises only at 3.3 V threshold. |
| 3: VSS | Ground | Reference return path for internal comparator and output drivers; must be low-impedance. |
| 4: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with 52 kΩ internal pull-up; momentary GND short generates system reset without external components. |
| 5: RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver capable of sinking 20 mA; asserts low during fault and holds for 1.4 ms after recovery. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 3.3 V monitoring | ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature ensures consistent reset activation across –40 to +85 °C. |
| Guaranteed reset at 1.0 V VCC | Enables fail-safe behavior during severe brown-out, preventing MCU execution from corrupted memory or registers. |
| Integrated watchdog timer | 1.6 s timeout with edge-triggered clear allows robust firmware health checking without external timing components. |
| MR with internal pull-up | 52 kΩ on-chip pull-up eliminates external resistor for push-button reset, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Low 3 µA quiescent current | Supports permanent supervision in energy-constrained applications such as smart sensors and battery-powered gateways. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Smart Energy Meter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power cycling due to grid fluctuations causes MCU reset instability during firmware update. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisor asserts RST during VCC dip below 3.3 V and holds for 1.4 ms to guarantee clean MCU restart. Use Value: Prevents partial flash writes and register corruption by enforcing minimum reset pulse width and brown-out detection down to 1.0 V. |
Use Scenario: Long-term battery backup requires continuous supervision with minimal leakage current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: STM6825MWY6F monitors main 3.3 V rail while drawing only 3 µA, enabling >10-year coin-cell life. Use Value: Eliminates need for external LDO or discrete reset circuit, reducing bill-of-materials and PCB area in sealed meter housing. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | IoT Edge Gateway |
Use Scenario: Load dump transients cause temporary VCC sag, risking MCU hang during CAN message processing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects sub-threshold VCC events and asserts push-pull RST to force controlled reboot before CAN bus lockup. Use Value: Push-pull output avoids reliance on external pull-up, ensuring deterministic reset timing under noisy 12 V system conditions. |
Use Scenario: Firmware watchdog must recover from infinite loops in wireless stack without host intervention. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: WDI pin receives periodic GPIO toggles; failure to toggle within 1.6 s triggers hardware reset via RST. Use Value: Hardware-enforced recovery bypasses software-level hangs, restoring network connectivity without manual reset. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor with watchdog applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM6823MWY6F | Same 3.3 V threshold and SOT23-5 package, but features open-drain RST output requiring external pull-up. | Suitable where reset line must interface with multiple voltage domains (e.g., 1.8 V I/O), not direct MCU reset. | Select when level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is required; avoid if direct push-pull drive is needed. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3 V threshold, 200 ms reset delay (vs. 1.4 ms), no integrated watchdog timer. | Lacks watchdog capability; requires separate timer IC or MCU GPIO for fault recovery. | Choose only if watchdog is unnecessary and longer reset pulse is acceptable for legacy MCU compatibility. |
Compared with STM6825MWY6F, STM6823MWY6F trades push-pull simplicity for multi-rail flexibility, while TPS3808G33DBVR sacrifices watchdog integration for broader vendor support - making STM6825MWY6F optimal for compact, self-contained MCU supervision with autonomous fault recovery.

FAQ
Does STM6825MWY6F support 5 V VCC operation?
Yes - STM6825MWY6F operates with VCC from 1.0 V to 5.5 V per absolute maximum ratings, but its internal voltage monitor is fixed at 3.3 V ±2.5%. It will assert reset if the 3.3 V rail drops below threshold, regardless of whether VCC is supplied from a 3.3 V or 5 V source via regulator.
Can the watchdog timer be disabled without modifying the PCB?
Yes - leaving the WDI pin unconnected (floating) disables the watchdog function. The internal counter automatically services itself via low-high-low pulses, preventing unintended reset assertion. No solder jumper or configuration register is required.
What is the maximum capacitive load the RST output can drive?
The RST output is rated for 20 mA sink current and maintains valid logic levels with ≤50 pF total load capacitance. For heavier loads (e.g., long traces or multiple inputs), add a series resistor (≤100 Ω) to limit slew rate and prevent ringing, as confirmed in ST's application note AN2854.
Is STM6825MWY6F RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - STM6825MWY6F is lead-free and fully compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU), and ST's official marking "MWY6F" indicates conformance to both RoHS and halogen-free requirements per IEC 61249-2-21.
