Product details
Overview
MAX6339MUT from Maxim Integrated is a quad voltage supervisory IC that monitors +5.0V, +3.0V, user-adjustable, and -5.0V supply rails with ±10% threshold tolerance, delivers active-low open-drain RESET output, features 140ms minimum reset timeout, consumes only 55µA quiescent current, and operates across -40°C to +85°C - used in telecom and industrial multi-rail systems for reliable µP reset assertion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6339MUT datasheet, MAX6339MUT pinout, MAX6339MUT application, or MAX6339MUT equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role, factory-trimmed threshold mapping, SOT23-6 package details, real-world timing behavior, and validated alternative options for multi-supply monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6339MUT uses an internal bandgap reference (1.23V) and four precision comparators with 0.3% hysteresis per channel to detect undervoltage on IN1 (+5V), IN2 (+3.0V), IN3 (user-adjustable via external resistor divider), and IN4 (-5V). It derives power solely from IN2 and guarantees RESET validity down to IN1 ≥ 1V or IN2 ≥ 1V.
Its open-drain RESET output includes a weak 10µA internal pullup to IN2 and asserts low when any input crosses its threshold - with 20µs typical delay and immunity to transients ≤ 1000µs at 50mV overdrive - enabling robust noise rejection in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Monitored Voltages | +5.0V (-10%), +3.0V (-10%), adjustable (1.23V reference), -5.0V (+10%) - matches common system rails without external resistors |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms min - ensures µP completes full power-up sequence before release |
| Supply Current | 55µA typ - enables use in always-on monitoring without significant power penalty |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain with 10µA internal pullup to IN2 - eliminates need for external pullup in many 3.0V/3.3V logic interfaces |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial temperature operation |
| Input Validity Range | RESET remains valid while IN1 ≥ 1V or IN2 ≥ 1V - supports brownout detection during partial power loss |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over temp - ensures consistent reset assertion across full operating range |
Pinout & Package
MAX6339MUT is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in telecom and embedded systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN1 | +5.0V monitor input (-10% threshold) | Accepts up to +6V; asserts RESET if voltage drops below 4.50V |
| 2 IN2 | +3.0V monitor input & device power supply (-10% threshold) | Supplies internal circuitry; must be ≥1V for RESET validity; powers internal pullup |
| 3 IN3 | User-adjustable monitor input (1.23V internal reference) | External resistor divider sets custom threshold; ±0.1µA input bias enables high-Z design |
| 4 IN4 | -5.0V monitor input (+10% threshold) | Accepts -6V to +0.3V; asserts RESET if voltage rises above -4.50V (undervoltage = less negative) |
| 5 GND | Analog and digital ground reference | Common return path for all comparators and bandgap reference; requires low-impedance connection |
| 6 RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives low when any input fails; pulled weakly to IN2; compatible with 0–5.5V logic supplies |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises four distinct rails - eliminates need for four discrete supervisors or complex discrete networks |
| Factory-trimmed thresholds with hysteresis | 0.3% built-in hysteresis prevents chatter during slow supply ramps or noise-induced threshold crossings |
| Glitch-immune transient rejection | Rejects input transients ≤1000µs duration at 50mV overdrive - critical for stable operation in switching power supply environments |
| No external components required for standard rails | Supports +5V/-5V/+3.0V monitoring out-of-box; only IN3 requires external divider for customization |
| Low-voltage RESET validity | Guarantees functional RESET state even as IN1 or IN2 drops to 1.0V - enables early brownout detection |
Applications
| Telecommunications Power Systems | Industrial PLC Backplane Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6340MUT | Same pinout, identical quad monitoring architecture, but with +5.0V (-5%), +3.3V (-5%), adjustable, -5.0V (+5%) thresholds | Better suited for systems requiring tighter tolerance on +3.3V and -5V rails | Select MAX6340MUT when +3.3V rail stability is more critical than +3.0V compatibility |
| TPS3307-33D | Triple-monitor IC (not quad); monitors +3.3V, +5V, and adjustable rail only; no negative voltage support | Lacks -5V monitoring capability and one input channel; requires external circuitry for -5V supervision | Choose TPS3307-33D only if -5V rail is absent and board space allows adding discrete -5V detector |
Compared with MAX6339MUT, MAX6340MUT offers tighter threshold tolerances on two rails but same package and timing; TPS3307-33D reduces channel count and omits negative voltage support, making it unsuitable for legacy analog subsystems requiring -5V validation.

FAQ
What voltage rails does the MAX6339MUT monitor?
The MAX6339MUT monitors four specific rails: IN1 at +5.0V with -10% threshold (4.50V), IN2 at +3.0V with -10% threshold (2.70V), IN3 as user-adjustable (based on 1.23V internal reference), and IN4 at -5.0V with +10% threshold (-4.50V). These values are factory-trimmed and documented in the Selector Guide for MAX6339MUT.
How does the MAX6339MUT handle power loss on IN2?
The MAX6339MUT derives power from IN2, but its RESET output remains valid as long as either IN1 ≥ 1V or IN2 ≥ 1V. During partial power loss, if IN2 drops below 1V but IN1 stays above 1V, the MAX6339MUT continues asserting RESET correctly - a key feature enabling brownout detection in asymmetric failure modes.
Can the MAX6339MUT monitor voltages other than those listed in the Selector Guide?
Yes - IN3 is explicitly user-adjustable using an external resistor divider referenced to the 1.23V internal threshold. The formula R1 = R2 × ((VINTH/1.23V) − 1) allows precise setting of any positive voltage >1.23V. For negative rails beyond -5V, an external divider on IN4 is also supported per Figure 5 in the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the 0.3% hysteresis in the MAX6339MUT?
The 0.3% hysteresis per comparator prevents oscillation during slow supply ramps or near-threshold noise. For example, the +5.0V (-10%) channel trips at 4.50V but releases only after rising to ~4.514V. This ensures clean, chatter-free RESET assertion and release - critical for reliable microprocessor boot sequences.
Is an external pullup resistor required for the MAX6339MUT RESET output?
No - the MAX6339MUT includes a 10µA internal pullup to IN2, sufficient for interfacing with 3.0V or 3.3V logic. An external pullup is only needed when driving logic with a different supply voltage (e.g., 5V or 1.8V), and must be sized to overdrive the internal pullup without exceeding 20mA sink current rating.
