Product details
Overview
MAX6348UR40+ from Maxim Integrated is an open-drain, active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor 4.0V power supplies in embedded digital systems. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 4.0V (±1.5% at +25°C, ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C), maintains reset for ≥100ms after VCC recovers, and draws ≤1µA supply current. Used in portable battery-powered controllers requiring reliable brownout detection and bidirectional reset pin interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6348UR40+ datasheet, MAX6348UR40+ pinout, MAX6348UR40+ application, or MAX6348UR40+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed SOT23-3 package mapping, validated open-drain reset behavior, factory-trimmed 4.0V threshold specification, and direct alternative part comparisons with documented electrical and interface differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6348UR40+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis (9.5mV typical) to reject fast VCC transients while ensuring clean reset assertion during brownout. Its reset timeout is guaranteed minimum 100ms after VCC exceeds the threshold, with full temperature specification from -40°C to +85°C.
As an open-drain output device, MAX6348UR40+ requires an external pull-up resistor and supports bidirectional reset control-enabling direct interface with µPs like the Motorola 68HC11 that share reset pins. It operates down to 1V VCC and exhibits 40ppm/°C reset threshold tempco.

Applications
| Portable Medical Monitors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered ECG and pulse oximeter units operating on single Li-ion or coin cells with intermittent wake-up cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 4.0V system rail and asserts reset during battery sag or cold-start undervoltage. Use Value: Ensures deterministic µC boot sequence after brownout, leveraging ≤1µA quiescent current to extend operational runtime between charges. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted remote I/O modules exposed to wide ambient temperature swings and noisy 24VDC field power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors regulated 4.0V logic supply derived from industrial 24VDC; provides ≥100ms reset hold time after line recovery. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption during transient dips by guaranteeing reset remains asserted until stable power is restored-critical for fail-safe control execution. |
| Automotive Body Control Units | Smart Sensor Transmitters |
|
Use Scenario: Low-power door module ECUs powered from vehicle battery (9V–16V) with local 4.0V LDO regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects LDO output collapse due to load dump or cold-crank events; drives open-drain reset line shared with MCU and CAN transceiver. Use Value: Enables synchronized reset of multiple peripherals via single wired-OR bus-reducing component count and PCB area versus discrete reset solutions. |
Use Scenario: 4–20mA loop-powered pressure/temperature transmitters with integrated ADC and low-power MCU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 4.0V analog front-end and digital core supply; asserts reset during loop power interruption or brownout. Use Value: Maintains sensor accuracy and communication integrity by enforcing clean restart after power anomaly-verified across -40°C to +85°C operating range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TR40+T | Push-pull active-low reset; no external pull-up required; 1.5µA max ICC; same 4.0V threshold tolerance | Not suitable for bidirectional reset buses; incompatible with µPs requiring open-drain reset arbitration | Select MAX809TR40+T only when board layout lacks space for pull-up resistor or shared reset bus is unused |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Adjustable threshold (via external resistor divider); 2.5µA ICC; push-pull output; 200ms min reset timeout | Requires external components; lacks factory-trimmed precision; not pin-compatible | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when design requires programmable threshold or higher timeout margin beyond 100ms |
Compared with MAX6348UR40+, MAX809TR40+T simplifies BOM by eliminating the pull-up resistor but forfeits bidirectional reset capability, while TPS3808G33DBVR offers flexibility at the cost of added components, reduced accuracy, and non-drop-in replacement effort.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6348UR40+ and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6348UR40+ has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.0V, specified as ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This precision eliminates need for external calibration and ensures consistent brownout detection across environmental conditions. The 4.0V value corresponds directly to the "R40" suffix in the MAX6348UR40+ part number.
Does MAX6348UR40+ require an external pull-up resistor, and why?
Yes, MAX6348UR40+ requires an external pull-up resistor on its RESET pin because it features an open-drain output configuration. This design enables wired-OR reset bus implementation and bidirectional reset control-essential for interfacing with microprocessors like the Motorola 68HC11 that share reset pins. Without the pull-up, the RESET signal cannot drive high, rendering the device nonfunctional in most system contexts.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6348UR40+ guarantees correct reset state assertion?
MAX6348UR40+ guarantees correct reset state (i.e., RESET asserted when VCC is below threshold, deasserted when above) down to VCC = 1.0V. This feature ensures reliable operation during deep brownout or ultra-low-power sleep modes, where supply voltage may dip significantly before full shutdown-critical for fail-safe behavior in safety-critical embedded systems.
How does MAX6348UR40+ handle fast VCC transients, and what is its immunity specification?
MAX6348UR40+ rejects fast negative-going VCC transients via internal comparator hysteresis (9.5mV typical) and transient filtering. Its datasheet specifies maximum allowable glitch duration versus overdrive voltage-for example, a 100mV VCC dip can be up to ~140µs without triggering reset. This immunity prevents spurious resets caused by switching noise or coupling, enhancing system robustness in electrically noisy environments.
Is MAX6348UR40+ pin-compatible with other members of the MAX63xx family, and which ones?
Yes, MAX6348UR40+ is pin-compatible with all members of the MAX6326/MAX6327/MAX6328/MAX6346/MAX6347/MAX6348 family-including MAX6326UR40+, MAX6346UR40+, and MAX6328UR40+-as they all use identical SOT23-3 and SC70-3 packages with identical pin 1 (GND), pin 2 (RESET), and pin 3 (VCC) assignments. Functionality differs only in reset polarity and output type (open-drain vs. push-pull), not physical layout.
