What this supervisor does on your board
Reset output is active-low, push-pull, totem-pole — no external pull-up needed. The 140ms minimum reset timeout gives the system power supplies and oscillators time to settle before the processor starts executing code. Rated for the -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, it fits outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor controllers, and automotive cabin electronics that don't require AEC-Q100 certification.
Sourcing and lifecycle — active, no LTB risk
The MAX6455UT46S+T carries an active lifecycle status from Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). RoHS3 compliant (ROHS3 Compliant per), so it passes EU material restrictions without an exemption review.
Package and mounting — SOT-23-6 footprint
Housed in a SOT-23-6 (supplier device package SOT-6), surface-mount. The 6-pin footprint is common for supervisor ICs; board layout matches the standard SOT-23-6 land pattern. No special thermal management needed at the rated temperature range.
