Product details
Overview
MAX6328XR31/GG8 from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, open-drain, active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit in SC70-3 package. It monitors VCC supply voltage and asserts RESET when VCC falls below 3.08V (±2.5% over temperature), holding reset for ≥100ms after VCC recovers. Designed for portable/battery-powered systems, it draws ≤1µA at 3V and operates from 1.2V to 5.5V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6328XR31/GG8 datasheet, MAX6328XR31/GG8 pinout, MAX6328XR31/GG8 application, or MAX6328XR31/GG8 equivalent, key selection considerations include its factory-trimmed 3.08V reset threshold, open-drain output compatible with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), immunity to fast VCC transients, and guaranteed operation down to 1V during power-down.
Technical Context
The MAX6328XR31/GG8 implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 40ppm/°C tempco and 6.3mV hysteresis, ensuring stable threshold behavior across -40°C to +85°C. Its internal timing circuit guarantees a minimum 100ms reset timeout after power-up, independent of external components.
As an open-drain device, MAX6328XR31/GG8 requires an external pull-up resistor and supports wired-OR reset bus configurations. It interfaces directly with microcontrollers having bidirectional reset pins without level-shifting, leveraging its 0.3V max VOL at 1.6mA sink current and 0.1µA leakage when inactive.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6328XR31/GG8 and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6328XR31/GG8 has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with a tolerance of ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. This specification is guaranteed by production test, not just design simulation, and applies directly to the MAX6328XR31/GG8 device without derating or external calibration.
Does MAX6328XR31/GG8 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, MAX6328XR31/GG8 features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor to the appropriate logic rail (e.g., 3.3V). Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements. The device itself does not integrate this resistor, enabling flexible voltage-level translation and wired-OR reset bus topologies.
Can MAX6328XR31/GG8 operate reliably when VCC drops below 2.0V?
Yes, MAX6328XR31/GG8 is fully functional down to VCC = 1.2V over temperature and guaranteed to maintain correct reset state (asserted or de-asserted) for VCC ≥1.0V. This allows safe operation during deep brownout conditions and ensures the reset signal remains valid even as the system supply collapses-critical for preventing EEPROM corruption or MCU lockup.
How does MAX6328XR31/GG8 handle short-duration voltage transients on the VCC line?
MAX6328XR31/GG8 incorporates internal filtering that rejects negative-going VCC transients shorter than ~20µs when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV. Its reset comparator is designed to ignore fast glitches, preventing spurious resets caused by digital switching noise or coupling-verified by the "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive" curve in the datasheet.
Is MAX6328XR31/GG8 pin-compatible with other members of the MAX632x family?
Yes, MAX6328XR31/GG8 shares identical SC70-3 pinout (GND, RESET, VCC) and footprint with all MAX6326/MAX6327/MAX6328 variants. However, output type differs: MAX6328XR31/GG8 is open-drain, whereas MAX6326XR31/GG8 is push-pull. Swapping requires verifying external circuit compatibility-especially pull-up presence and load drive requirements-before substitution.
