Product details
Overview
MAX6327XR31 from Maxim Integrated is an active-high push-pull microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor 3.08V power supplies in embedded µP systems. It asserts a high-level reset signal when VCC falls below 3.08V (±1.5% at +25°C, ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C), holds reset for ≥100ms after VCC recovers, operates down to 1V supply, and draws ≤1µA supply current. It is used in portable battery-powered controllers requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6327XR31 datasheet, MAX6327XR31 pinout, MAX6327XR31 application, or MAX6327XR31 equivalent, this page delivers verified reset threshold accuracy, ultra-low quiescent current, temperature-stable hysteresis (9.5mV), SC70-3 package compatibility, and direct comparison with pin-compatible alternatives for µP reset design validation.
Technical Context
The MAX6327XR31 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with factory-trimmed 3.08V reset threshold and 9.5mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during slow VCC recovery. Its push-pull output drives high (VOH ≥0.8·VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA) and low (VOL ≤0.4V at ISINK = 1.2mA) without external pull-up, enabling direct interface to µP reset inputs.
It features transient immunity up to 100µs for 200mV VCC overdrive, guaranteed operation from -40°C to +85°C, and full specification of reset timeout (≥100ms), supply current (≤1µA), and threshold tempco (40ppm/°C). No external components are required for basic reset functionality.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6327XR31 is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (JEDEC MO-203AA, 1.25mm × 0.85mm × 0.55mm height), compatible with SOT23-3 footprint for layout flexibility. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = RESET (active-high push-pull), Pin 3 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TR31D3T | Same 3.08V threshold, but open-drain output; requires external pull-up; 1.2µA max ICC | Suitable where bidirectional reset lines (e.g., legacy 68HC11) or wired-OR topology is needed | Select only if system requires open-drain behavior or shares reset bus with multiple supervisors |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold (not 3.08V); 1.8µA ICC; adjustable delay option; different pinout (SOT23-5) | Used in newer designs targeting 3.3V rails with programmable timeout; not drop-in compatible | Choose only for new 3.3V designs needing longer delay or higher accuracy; not a replacement for MAX6327XR31's 3.08V point |
Compared with MAX809TR31D3T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6327XR31 offers exact 3.08V threshold matching for 3.0V systems, push-pull simplicity eliminating BOM parts, and lowest ICC (≤1µA) - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-critical applications where pin compatibility and threshold precision are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6327XR31 and how is it specified over temperature?
The MAX6327XR31 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V, specified as ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full operating range of -40°C to +85°C. This tolerance ensures robust brownout detection for 3.0V nominal systems while maintaining compatibility with common LDO output tolerances. The device also features 9.5mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during marginal supply conditions.
Does the MAX6327XR31 require any external components to function as a reset supervisor?
No, the MAX6327XR31 requires no external components for basic operation. Its active-high push-pull output eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor, and its precision internal voltage reference removes the requirement for external resistor dividers. Only decoupling capacitance (recommended 0.1µF ceramic) near VCC is advised for noise immunity - a standard practice, not a functional dependency.
What is the maximum supply voltage the MAX6327XR31 can withstand, and what happens below 1V?
The MAX6327XR31 supports VCC from 1.0V to 5.5V. Below 1.0V, the device is not guaranteed to maintain correct reset state - it may release reset prematurely or behave unpredictably. Above 5.5V, absolute maximum rating is violated, risking permanent damage. For systems with wide input ranges (e.g., automotive), ensure upstream regulation keeps VCC within 1.0V–5.5V at the MAX6327XR31 pin.
How does the MAX6327XR31 handle fast transients on the VCC line?
The MAX6327XR31 incorporates internal filtering to reject fast negative-going VCC transients. According to its Typical Operating Characteristics, it ignores transients ≤100µs in duration when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 200mV. As overdrive increases, allowable pulse width decreases - e.g., at 10mV overdrive, maximum transient duration rises to ~200µs. This immunity prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments.
Is the MAX6327XR31 pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6326/MAX6327/MAX6328 family?
Yes, the MAX6327XR31 is fully pin-compatible with all SC70-3 and SOT23-3 variants in the MAX6326/MAX6327/MAX6328 family, including MAX6326 and MAX6328. All share identical 3-pin configuration (GND, RESET, VCC), same footprint, and identical thermal and electrical pin definitions. The only functional difference is reset polarity and threshold voltage - hardware layout requires no changes when substituting within this family.
