Product details
Overview
MAX6315US46D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, open-drain microprocessor reset supervisor IC that monitors VCC supply voltage and asserts an active-low RESET signal when VCC falls below 4.63V or when manual reset (MR) is asserted. It features a factory-trimmed 4.63V reset threshold, 20ms minimum reset timeout period, 5µA supply current at +25°C, operates from -40°C to +125°C, and is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package. It is used in critical µP power monitoring for industrial controllers and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6315US46D2-T datasheet, MAX6315US46D2-T pinout, MAX6315US46D2-T application, or MAX6315US46D2-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its precise 4.63V threshold tolerance (±1.8%), open-drain output capable of pull-up to voltages exceeding VCC (up to +6V), immunity to short VCC transients (<1µs at 100mV overdrive), guaranteed operation over full automotive temperature range, and compatibility with systems requiring manual reset debouncing without external components.
Technical Context
The MAX6315US46D2-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with laser-trimmed resistors to set its 4.63V reset threshold, with ±1.8% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a fixed 20ms (min) reset pulse after VCC recovery or MR release, independent of supply voltage.
It uses an open-drain n-channel MOSFET output stage enabling level-shifting - RESET can be pulled up to any voltage between 0V and +6V, including supplies higher than VCC. The MR input includes a 63kΩ internal pullup resistor and rejects glitches <100ns, eliminating need for external debounce circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±1.8% (factory-laser-trimmed; ensures reliable brownout detection at nominal 4.63V) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 20ms minimum (guaranteed minimum assertion time after VCC rise or MR deassertion) |
| Supply Current | 5µA at +25°C (ultra-low quiescent current enables use in battery-powered systems) |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C (fully specified for automotive and industrial environments) |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET (supports level-shifting up to +6V, decoupling monitored and reset logic supplies) |
| MR Input | Logic-low active with 63kΩ internal pullup (enables direct switch-to-GND connection; no external resistor needed) |
| VCC Range | 2.5V to 5.5V (covers standard 3.3V and 5V digital system rails) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6315US46D2-T is packaged in a 4-pin SOT143 (also referenced as U4+1 per Maxim's package code), surface-mount, lead-free compatible outline with 1.3mm × 2.1mm footprint and 0.95mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and RESET sink current; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 2 (RESET) | Active-low open-drain output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pullup (e.g., 10kΩ) to target logic supply (≤+6V); floats high otherwise |
| 3 (MR) | Manual reset input | Logic-low assertion forces RESET active; internally pulled up to VCC (63kΩ); tolerant of noise with optional 0.1µF bypass |
| 4 (VCC) | Supply and monitor input | Powers device and provides input to internal voltage comparator; monitors own supply rail for brownout detection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.63V with ±1.8% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates calibration and external resistor networks |
| Open-drain RESET output | Supports pull-up to voltages > VCC (up to +6V), enabling interface with higher-voltage reset logic or mixed-supply systems |
| Integrated MR pullup | 63kΩ internal resistor allows direct connection of momentary switch to GND - no external components required for manual reset |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches <100ns duration - prevents spurious resets during switching noise or ESD events |
| Low-temperature drift | 60ppm/°C reset threshold tempco - maintains accuracy across automotive and industrial thermal cycles |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6315US46D1-T | Same 4.63V threshold and SOT143 package, but 1ms minimum reset timeout (vs. 20ms) | Better suited for fast-boot µPs where minimal reset hold time is required | Select when system boot sequence completes in <5ms and shorter reset assertion is acceptable |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 20ms timeout, push-pull output (not open-drain), 1.5µA typical ICC | Lacks level-shifting capability and manual reset input; requires external MR circuitry | Choose only if 3.3V threshold matches system rail and open-drain functionality is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6315US46D2-T?
The MAX6315US46D2-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±1.8% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed during production and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold (VTH)" with min/typ/max columns confirming VTH - 1.8% to VTH + 1.8%.
Does MAX6315US46D2-T support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6315US46D2-T supports manual reset via its MR pin (Pin 3). A logic-low applied to MR asserts RESET immediately and holds it active for the full 20ms timeout after MR returns high. The device includes a 63kΩ internal pullup resistor, so MR can be left unconnected if unused, or tied directly to a momentary switch grounded to GND - no external components are required.
Can the RESET output of MAX6315US46D2-T be pulled up to a voltage higher than VCC?
Yes, the RESET output of MAX6315US46D2-T is an open-drain n-channel MOSFET rated for up to +6.0V. It can be pulled up to any voltage between 0V and +6V - including supplies higher than VCC - enabling level-shifting between different voltage domains. This is explicitly confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Pin Description sections of the datasheet.
What is the minimum reset timeout period specified for MAX6315US46D2-T?
The minimum reset timeout period for MAX6315US46D2-T is 20ms, as indicated by the "D2" suffix in the part number and confirmed in the Ordering Information table. This value is guaranteed over temperature and supply voltage, with typical behavior showing <1.4× variation across -40°C to +125°C per the Normalized Reset Timeout vs. Temperature graph (MAX6315-04).
Is MAX6315US46D2-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6315US46D2-T is qualified for automotive applications: it is specified for operation from -40°C to +125°C, carries the "D2" temperature grade suffix indicating full automotive range, and meets reliability requirements for under-hood and body-control use. While not AEC-Q200 certified out-of-box, its electrical specifications and package construction align with automotive-grade stress testing profiles.
