Product details
Overview
MAX6328UR31-T from Maxim Integrated is an open-drain, active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-3 package, monitoring 3.08V supply voltage with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, 1µA max supply current, and 100ms minimum reset timeout - used for reliable power-on/brownout reset assertion in portable µP systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6328UR31-T datasheet, MAX6328UR31-T pinout, MAX6328UR31-T application, or MAX6328UR31-T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for embedded power-monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6328UR31-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with factory-trimmed 3.08V threshold (±1.5% at +25°C, ±2.5% over full temperature range) and 6.3mV hysteresis, ensuring stable reset assertion during VCC transients. It operates down to 1.2V VCC and ignores fast negative-going glitches on VCC via internal transient immunity design.
Its open-drain RESET output supports bidirectional µP reset interfaces (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) with external pull-up, enabling either device to assert reset. The 100ms minimum reset timeout is guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage, with delay stability maintained by low tempco (40ppm/°C).

Pinout & Package
MAX6328UR31-T uses the 3-pin SOT23-3 package (outline U3-1), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = RESET (open-drain), Pin 3 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output - requires external pull-up resistor to host VCC or logic rail for proper level translation |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input - powers internal circuitry and serves as monitored voltage source; valid from 1.2V to 5.5V |

| Smart Energy Meters | Automotive Body Control Units |
Use Scenario: ANSI C12.20-compliant electricity meters with dual-supply (battery + mains) and tamper-detection logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary VDD supervisor for the metering SoC, asserting reset during AC loss and battery switchover. Use Value: 100ms guaranteed timeout satisfies IEC 62056 power-fail hold-up timing; 1.2V minimum VCC operation supports backup supercap discharge down to safe shutdown. |
Use Scenario: Non-safety-critical body controllers (e.g., door module, seat control) operating from vehicle battery (9V–16V) with LDO regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary supervisor verifying 3.3V domain stability before enabling CAN transceivers and sensor interfaces. Use Value: Open-drain RESET allows shared reset bus with other peripherals; 40ppm/°C tempco maintains threshold stability across under-hood thermal cycling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2-T | 3.08V threshold, push-pull active-low output, 1.2µA supply current, same SOT23-3 package | Requires no external pull-up but cannot share reset bus; less suitable for bidirectional µP interfaces | Select when board layout lacks space for pull-up resistor or system uses dedicated reset line per IC |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold (not 3.08V), 1.8µA supply current, adjustable delay option, same SOT23-3 package | Higher threshold may cause premature release in 3.3V systems with tight LDO tolerance; delay programmability adds flexibility but increases cost | Select when precise 3.08V threshold is not required and longer reset timeout (>200ms) is needed |
Compared with MAX809TRD2-T, the MAX6328UR31-T's open-drain output enables shared reset busing and bidirectional control, while its lower 1µA supply current extends battery life. Against TPS3808G33DBVR, MAX6328UR31-T offers tighter 3.08V threshold matching for margin-constrained 3.3V rails and superior low-power performance.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6328UR31-T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6328UR31-T has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. Its temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is limited to approximately ±12mV across the industrial temperature span - critical for stable operation in unregulated environments where the MAX6328UR31-T is deployed.
Why does MAX6328UR31-T use an open-drain output instead of push-pull?
The MAX6328UR31-T uses an open-drain RESET output to enable wired-OR reset bus configurations and direct interfacing with microprocessors having bidirectional reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11). This architecture allows multiple devices - including the MAX6328UR31-T - to drive the same reset line without contention, which is essential in complex systems where both the supervisor and µP must be able to assert reset. Push-pull alternatives like MAX6326UR31-T cannot provide this capability.
Can MAX6328UR31-T operate reliably below 2.5V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6328UR31-T is fully specified to operate down to 1.2V VCC over the entire -40°C to +85°C temperature range, and remains functional (with correct reset state) down to 1.0V. This extended low-voltage capability allows the MAX6328UR31-T to monitor brownout conditions in systems powered by depleting batteries or supercapacitors, ensuring clean reset assertion even during deep discharge phases where other supervisors fail.
What is the minimum external pull-up resistor value required for MAX6328UR31-T's RESET pin?
The MAX6328UR31-T's open-drain RESET output sinks up to 1.6mA while asserted (low), with VOL ≤ 0.3V at that load. To ensure VOL stays within logic-low specifications for a 3.3V host system, a pull-up resistor ≤ 10kΩ to 3.3V is recommended. For 5V systems, ≤ 20kΩ maintains VOL < 0.4V. The MAX6328UR31-T's 0.1µA leakage current when inactive makes higher values acceptable for ultra-low-power sleep modes, but timing margins must be verified.
Is MAX6328UR31-T pin-compatible with legacy Maxim reset supervisors like MAX809?
No, MAX6328UR31-T is not pin-compatible with MAX809 series devices. While both use SOT23-3 packages, MAX809 variants have different pinouts: MAX809 uses Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = RESET - whereas MAX6328UR31-T uses Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = RESET, Pin 3 = VCC. Swapping them without PCB revision will result in incorrect power connection and failure. Always verify pin mapping using the official MAX6328UR31-T datasheet before substitution.
