Product details
Overview
MAX6315US26D3 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power CMOS microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors VCC supply voltage and asserts an open-drain active-low RESET signal when voltage falls below 2.63V or when manual reset (MR) is asserted. It provides a factory-trimmed 140ms minimum reset timeout period, operates from -40°C to +125°C, draws only 5µA supply current, and uses a SOT143-4 package. It is used in portable battery-powered equipment requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6315US26D3 datasheet, MAX6315US26D3 pinout, MAX6315US26D3 application, or MAX6315US26D3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its precise 2.63V reset threshold, 140ms timeout, open-drain output capable of level-shifting above VCC, immunity to short VCC transients, and guaranteed operation over extended temperature range.
Technical Context
The MAX6315US26D3 implements a precision voltage-monitoring comparator with laser-trimmed internal resistors to set a nominal 2.63V reset threshold, with ±3.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a guaranteed-minimum 140ms reset pulse after VCC rises above threshold or MR deasserts.
It features an open-drain n-channel MOSFET RESET output rated for 0V to +6V pull-up, a manual reset input (MR) with 63kΩ internal pull-up, and immunity to VCC transients as short as 1µs when overdrive exceeds 20mV - enabling robust operation in noisy or battery-decaying environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V nominal, ±3.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection for 2.7V–2.8V logic rails |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time before release |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - supports automotive under-hood and industrial control applications |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - allows level-shifting up to +6V, independent of VCC |
| MR Input | Internal 63kΩ pull-up - eliminates external components for manual reset switch interface |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - functions during deep brownout and full supply conditions |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6315US26D3 is housed in a lead-free or leaded SOT143-4 surface-mount package (4-pin, 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint), optimized for space-constrained portable and automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and RESET sink current; must be low-impedance |
| 2 RESET | Active-low open-drain output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pull-up to 0–6V; floats high otherwise |
| 3 MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low assertion forces RESET active; internal 63kΩ pull-up holds high when unused |
| 4 VCC | Supply and monitor input | Powers device and provides monitored voltage source for reset threshold comparison |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision factory-trimmed threshold | 2.63V ±3.5% over full temperature range - eliminates calibration and external resistor networks |
| Four selectable timeout periods | 140ms minimum for MAX6315US26D3 - matches boot-time requirements of ARM Cortex-M0/M3 and similar MCUs |
| Open-drain RESET with >VCC capability | Supports pull-up to 6V while VCC = 2.6V - enables reset signaling across mixed-voltage domains |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches <1µs wide at 20mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in switching power supply environments |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 5µA max at +25°C - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6314US26D3-T | Bidirectional reset pin (not open-drain); same 2.63V threshold and 140ms timeout | Required for µPs with shared reset/data pins (e.g., some legacy 8051 derivatives) | Select only if bidirectional I/O is mandatory; MAX6315US26D3 is preferred for standard active-low reset inputs. |
| TPS3808G26DBVR | 2.63V threshold, 200ms timeout (min), 1.5µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package | Lower quiescent current but longer timeout; requires external pull-up on active-high RESET | Choose for ultra-low-power designs where 200ms delay is acceptable and active-high reset logic is used. |
Compared with MAX6314US26D3-T, the MAX6315US26D3 offers simpler interface via open-drain output and avoids bidirectional timing constraints; versus TPS3808G26DBVR, it provides shorter, more deterministic 140ms reset hold time and direct compatibility with legacy µP reset architectures requiring active-low assertion.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6315US26D3?
The MAX6315US26D3 has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with a tolerance of ±3.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed during production and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold (VTH)" for ordering option D3 (140ms timeout).
Does MAX6315US26D3 support operation with VCC below 2.63V?
Yes, the MAX6315US26D3 functions down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring reliable reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions. Its RESET output remains guaranteed low for VCC > 1V, and the internal circuitry continues monitoring until VCC drops below 1V - critical for orderly shutdown in battery-powered systems.
Can the RESET output of MAX6315US26D3 be pulled up to a voltage higher than its VCC supply?
Yes, the MAX6315US26D3 features an open-drain RESET output rated for pull-up voltages from 0V to +6.0V - independent of the VCC supply voltage. This enables level-shifting applications, such as asserting reset on a 5V microcontroller from a 2.63V-supervised rail, using a simple external pull-up resistor.
What is the minimum reset timeout period for MAX6315US26D3?
The MAX6315US26D3 provides a guaranteed minimum reset timeout period of 140ms after VCC rises above the 2.63V threshold or after the manual reset (MR) input is deasserted. This value is fixed per the "D3" suffix and is validated across temperature and process corners per the datasheet's tRP specification.
Is MAX6315US26D3 pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6315 family?
Yes, all MAX6315 variants - including MAX6315US26D3 - use the identical SOT143-4 package and share the same pinout (VCC, MR, RESET, GND). This allows drop-in replacement across different threshold and timeout combinations without PCB layout changes, provided the system design accommodates the specific VTH and tRP requirements.
