Product details
Overview
MAX6337US16D2-T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-voltage, open-drain microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor 1.6V power supplies in space-constrained embedded systems. It asserts an active-low RESET signal when VCC falls below 1.60V or when the debounced manual-reset input (MR) is asserted, with a guaranteed minimum timeout of 20ms and valid operation down to VCC = 1.0V. Used in portable equipment and automotive controllers for reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6337US16D2-T datasheet, MAX6337US16D2-T pinout, MAX6337US16D2-T application, or MAX6337US16D2-T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±1.8% at +25°C), open-drain output compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins, low 3.3µA supply current at 1.8V, and SOT143 package suitability for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6337US16D2-T implements a factory-trimmed bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis to reject fast VCC transients up to 24µs at 10V/ms slew rate. Its internal 20kΩ MR pull-up resistor enables direct connection of a momentary switch to GND without external components.
Reset assertion is synchronized to VCC recovery or MR deassertion, followed by a fixed 20ms timeout period (tRP = 20ms min) before RESET deassertion. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pull-up resistor and supports wired-OR configurations with other reset sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.60V ±1.8% (25°C), ±3% (-40°C to +125°C): ensures reliable detection of 1.6V supply brownout without false triggering |
| Reset Timeout Period | 20ms minimum: guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V: supports operation during deep brownout while maintaining valid RESET state |
| Supply Current | 3.3µA typical at 1.8V: enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low: allows direct interface to bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) and wired-OR reset buses |
| MR Input Threshold | 0.42V typical: ensures robust low-level recognition even with noisy manual switch contacts |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C: qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6337US16D2-T is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 surface-mount package (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and automotive applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane for stable reset threshold accuracy |
| 2: RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pull-up resistor to VCC or another logic rail for proper level translation |
| 3: MR | Debounced manual-reset input | Logic-low assertion triggers reset; internal 20kΩ pull-up allows NC configuration; immune to <30ns glitches |
| 4: VCC | Power supply input | Monitored supply rail; device operates correctly down to 1.0V, enabling early brownout detection before µP fails |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 1.60V with ±1.8% room-temperature tolerance eliminates need for external calibration components |
| Ultra-low operating voltage | Valid RESET assertion guaranteed down to VCC = 1.0V-critical for detecting pre-failure supply collapse |
| Integrated MR debounce | Eliminates external RC filter; supports direct pushbutton connection to GND with no additional parts |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤24µs at 10V/ms, preventing spurious resets during switching noise events |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant packaging | Tape-and-reel delivery with Pb-free SOT143 option (+T suffix) meets global environmental compliance requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6336US16D2-T | Push/pull active-low RESET output; guaranteed valid down to VCC = 0.7V | Requires no external pull-up; suitable where µP reset pin is unidirectional and sinking-limited | Select when board layout prohibits external pull-up or when lowest possible VCC operating margin is required |
| MAX6314US16D2-T | Same SOT143 package and pinout; 1.6V threshold but only 1ms reset timeout | Lacks 20ms/100ms timeout options; not suitable for µPs requiring extended initialization windows | Choose only for cost-sensitive designs where 1ms reset hold time satisfies µP datasheet requirements |
Compared with MAX6337US16D2-T, the MAX6336US16D2-T offers stronger drive capability at lower VCC but forfeits wired-OR flexibility, while the MAX6314US16D2-T reduces timeout duration by 95%-making it unsuitable for most modern µPs requiring ≥10ms reset assertion.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6337US16D2-T?
The MAX6337US16D2-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 1.60V, with ±1.8% tolerance at +25°C and ±3% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet and applies specifically to the "US16" suffix variant. The threshold is set using laser trimming during production and does not require external adjustment.
Does MAX6337US16D2-T support operation below 1.6V supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6337US16D2-T is guaranteed to maintain correct RESET/RESET output states down to VCC = 1.0V, as explicitly stated in the General Description section. Below 1.0V, the device may not assert reset reliably, but its internal logic remains functional until VCC drops near 0.7V-though the open-drain output cannot sink sufficient current below 1.0V to guarantee logic-low levels.
What is the purpose of the "D2" in MAX6337US16D2-T?
The "D2" in MAX6337US16D2-T indicates a nominal reset timeout period of 20ms minimum, per Maxim's ordering nomenclature. "D1" = 1ms, "D2" = 20ms, "D3" = 100ms. This timeout begins after VCC rises above 1.60V or after MR is deasserted, and is fully specified across temperature. The value is factory-programmed and non-adjustable.
Can MAX6337US16D2-T replace MAX812R in existing designs?
MAX6337US16D2-T is pin-compatible with MAX812R per the datasheet's "Pin Compatible with MAX811/MAX812" statement, sharing identical SOT143 pinout and 1.6V threshold option. However, MAX6337US16D2-T offers 20ms timeout (vs. MAX812R's 140ms), lower 3.3µA supply current (vs. ~10µA), and guaranteed 1.0V operation (vs. 1.1V min for MAX812R), requiring validation of timeout adequacy in the target µP.
Is an external pull-up resistor required for MAX6337US16D2-T's RESET pin?
Yes, an external pull-up resistor is mandatory for MAX6337US16D2-T because its RESET output is open-drain. The datasheet recommends values between 10kΩ and 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements. Without this resistor, the RESET line floats and cannot drive a logic-high level, rendering the supervisory function inoperable in most µP interfaces.
