Product details
Overview
MAX6346XR35 from Maxim Integrated is a 3-pin ultra-low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with push-pull active-low reset output, factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.500V (±1.5% at +25°C, ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C), 100ms minimum reset timeout, and 1µA maximum supply current at 3V. It monitors 3.3V power supplies in embedded controllers and portable systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6346XR35 datasheet, MAX6346XR35 pinout, MAX6346XR35 application, or MAX6346XR35 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC70-3 package, 3.5V reset threshold accuracy, push-pull drive capability, transient immunity up to 200µs at 100mV overdrive, and compatibility with µP reset interfaces requiring active-low assertion without external pull-up.
Technical Context
The MAX6346XR35 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis (9.5mV) to detect VCC drops below 3.5V, asserting RESET low until VCC rises above threshold and remains stable for ≥100ms. Its internal timing circuit ensures deterministic power-on reset pulse width independent of supply ramp rate.
Designed for direct connection to microprocessor reset inputs, the push-pull output drives low (≤0.3V at 1.6mA) during reset and high (≥0.8·VCC at 500µA source) otherwise-eliminating need for external pull-up resistors. The device operates down to 1.2V VCC and ignores fast transients ≤200µs at 100mV overdrive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.500V ±1.5% (25°C); ±2.5% (–40°C to +85°C) - ensures accurate brownout detection for 3.3V systems |
| Reset Timeout | 100ms minimum - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power stabilization |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA max at 3V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR35 | Same 3.5V threshold, identical SC70-3 package, but rated for 1.0V–5.5V VCC range (vs. 1.2V–5.5V for MAX6346XR35); 1µA max ICC same | Valid for systems requiring operation down to 1.0V VCC (e.g., ultra-low-power sleep modes) | Select MAX6326XR35 only if sub-1.2V brownout detection is required; otherwise MAX6346XR35 is drop-in compatible |
| TPS3123QDBVRQ1 | 3.5V threshold, SOT23-3, but open-drain output requiring external pull-up; 2.5µA max ICC; AEC-Q100 qualified | Required for automotive-grade designs needing qualification; higher supply current reduces battery life | Choose TPS3123QDBVRQ1 only for AEC-Q100-compliant automotive applications; MAX6346XR35 preferred for cost-sensitive industrial/portable use |
Compared with MAX6326XR35, MAX6346XR35 trades 0.2V lower minimum VCC (1.2V vs. 1.0V) for tighter production screening and improved parametric consistency across temperature, while both share identical reset behavior and pinout. Against TPS3123QDBVRQ1, MAX6346XR35 offers lower quiescent current and push-pull simplicity at the expense of automotive qualification.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6346XR35 and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6346XR35 has a nominal reset threshold of 3.500V at +25°C, with tolerance of ±1.5% at room temperature and ±2.5% over the full operating range of –40°C to +85°C. Its temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, resulting in a maximum deviation of approximately ±17.5mV across the temperature range - verified per Electrical Characteristics Table in the official datasheet.
Does MAX6346XR35 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6346XR35 does not require an external pull-up resistor because it features a push-pull active-low RESET output. When not asserting reset, the output drives high to ≥0.8·VCC (e.g., ≥2.64V at VCC = 3.3V) with 500µA source capability - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOH specifications for MAX6346.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6346XR35 use, and is it RoHS compliant?
MAX6346XR35 uses the SC70-3 package (outline X3-2), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with gull-wing leads. It is RoHS compliant and marked "FZAX" on top; lead-free versions are ordered with "+T" suffix per Maxim's packaging guidelines.
How long does the RESET signal remain asserted after VCC rises above the threshold in MAX6346XR35?
The RESET signal in MAX6346XR35 remains asserted for a minimum of 100ms after VCC rises above the 3.5V threshold, with typical timeout of 185ms and maximum of 280ms - guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage per the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Active Timeout Period".
Can MAX6346XR35 operate reliably during fast VCC transients, and what is its immunity specification?
Yes, MAX6346XR35 is designed to ignore fast negative-going VCC transients: it suppresses glitches up to 200µs duration when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV, as shown in Figure 4 ("Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive") of the datasheet - a key feature for noisy power environments.
