Product details
Overview
MAX6328UR27 from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power open-drain microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor 2.7V power supplies and assert a reset signal when VCC falls below 2.7V. It guarantees correct operation down to 1V supply, delivers ≥100ms reset timeout after power-up, consumes ≤1µA supply current at +25°C, and features factory-trimmed 2.7V reset threshold with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C. It is used in portable battery-powered systems requiring reliable brownout detection and clean power-on reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6328UR27 datasheet, MAX6328UR27 pinout, MAX6328UR27 application, or MAX6328UR27 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed SOT23-3 package mapping, validated open-drain output behavior, exact reset threshold (2.7V), temperature-stable hysteresis (9.5mV), and real-world design implications for µP reset timing and transient immunity.
Technical Context
The MAX6328UR27 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with internal hysteresis (9.5mV) to reject fast VCC transients up to 100µs duration at 200mV overdrive. Its reset assertion logic is fully specified from -40°C to +85°C, with reset timeout guaranteed ≥100ms and VTH tempco limited to 40ppm/°C.
As an open-drain RESET device, it requires an external pull-up resistor and interfaces directly with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11). It asserts active-low reset while VCC remains below 2.7V and holds reset for ≥100ms after VCC rises above threshold - independent of supply ramp rate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.7V ±1.5% at +25°C; ensures reliable detection of 2.7V supply brownout before system malfunction. |
| Supply Current | ≤1µA max at +25°C; enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable instrumentation. |
| Reset Timeout | ≥100ms minimum after VCC rise; guarantees sufficient hold time for full µP initialization and memory stabilization. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments without derating. |
| Reset Hysteresis | 9.5mV; prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery near threshold and improves noise margin. |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; allows valid reset state monitoring even during deep brownout or partial power loss. |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET; enables wired-OR configuration and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6328UR27 is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with SC70-3, with 1.3mm × 0.8mm body size and 0.95mm pitch. Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = RESET (open-drain), Pin 3 = GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Positive supply input | Power source for internal comparator and reference; must be stable ≥1.0V for valid reset state. |
| 2 - RESET | Active-low open-drain output | Drives low during reset; requires external pull-up to host VCC or logic rail; supports shared reset bus. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and reset sink current; must be low-impedance to avoid false resets. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | ≤1µA max ensures negligible battery drain in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Factory-trimmed VTH | 2.7V threshold set at wafer level with ±1.5% tolerance - eliminates external resistor networks or calibration. |
| Transient immunity | Rejects negative VCC glitches ≤100µs at 200mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets during switching noise. |
| No external components | Self-contained reset generation - no capacitors, resistors, or trimming required for basic operation. |
| Wide VCC range | Operates from 1.0V to 5.5V - supports reset assertion during deep undervoltage conditions where µP may still be partially functional. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Monitors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2-T | Push-pull active-low RESET; 2.7V threshold; 1.2µA ICC; same SOT23-3 package. | Requires no pull-up resistor but cannot share reset bus; less suitable for bidirectional µP interfaces. | Select when board layout lacks space for pull-up or when driving only one device. |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Adjustable threshold via external resistor; 1.8µA ICC; 200ms min timeout; same SOT23-3 footprint. | Offers programmability but adds BOM cost and layout complexity; lower tempco (30ppm/°C) than MAX6328UR27. | Select when threshold flexibility across variants justifies added component count and tuning effort. |
Compared with MAX809TRD2-T, MAX6328UR27 offers open-drain flexibility for multi-device reset buses; compared with TPS3808G12DBVR, it delivers lower quiescent current and factory-set precision without external components - optimizing for lowest-risk, lowest-BOM-cost 2.7V supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6328UR27 and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6328UR27 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.7V, specified with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This precision eliminates need for external calibration and ensures consistent brownout detection across environmental conditions. The MAX6328UR27 achieves this using laser-trimmed bandgap references during wafer test.
Does MAX6328UR27 require an external pull-up resistor on its RESET pin?
Yes, MAX6328UR27 features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor to a valid logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and drive strength requirements. This configuration enables wired-OR reset busing and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins - a key design advantage of the MAX6328UR27 over push-pull alternatives.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6328UR27 guarantees correct reset state assertion?
MAX6328UR27 guarantees correct reset state (RESET asserted low when VCC < 2.7V, deasserted when VCC > 2.7V + hysteresis) down to VCC = 1.0V. This allows reliable supervision even during deep brownout events where the host µP may still be partially operational. The MAX6328UR27 maintains this specification across -40°C to +85°C without derating.
How long does MAX6328UR27 hold the RESET signal active after VCC rises above threshold?
MAX6328UR27 guarantees a minimum reset timeout of 100ms after VCC rises above the 2.7V threshold. Typical timeout is 185ms at +25°C and remains ≥100ms across -40°C to +85°C. This ensures sufficient time for µP clock stabilization, PLL lock, and memory initialization before release - a critical timing parameter explicitly guaranteed in the MAX6328UR27 datasheet.
Is MAX6328UR27 compatible with the MAX803/MAX809/MAX810 pinout?
Yes, MAX6328UR27 is pin-compatible with MAX803, MAX809, and MAX810 in SOT23-3 packaging: Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = RESET (open-drain), Pin 3 = GND. This allows drop-in replacement in existing layouts designed for those legacy supervisors - provided the application requires open-drain output and 2.7V threshold. The MAX6328UR27 retains identical footprint and electrical interface.
