Product details
Overview
MAX6348UR44+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, open-drain, active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor 4.38V power supplies in embedded systems. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 4.38V (±2.5% over temperature), maintains reset for ≥100ms after recovery, operates down to 1.2V VCC, consumes ≤1µA supply current, and is housed in a 3-pin SOT23 package for space-constrained portable applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6348UR44+T datasheet, MAX6348UR44+T pinout, MAX6348UR44+T application, or MAX6348UR44+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical behavior, precise reset threshold tolerance, open-drain output design implications, thermal stability data, and direct alternatives for brownout protection in battery-powered µP systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6348UR44+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with factory-trimmed 4.38V reset threshold (±1.5% at +25°C, ±2.5% over −40°C to +85°C) and 9.5mV hysteresis. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pull-up and supports bidirectional µP reset interfaces like the Motorola 68HC11.
It features transient immunity up to 100V/µs dV/dt on VCC, guarantees correct state down to 1.2V VCC, and delivers a minimum 100ms power-on reset timeout - fully specified across industrial temperature range without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6328UR44+T | Same 4.38V threshold, same SOT23-3 package, but rated only for 0°C to +70°C industrial range | Limited to commercial-temperature applications; not suitable for extended industrial deployments | Select MAX6328UR44+T only if ambient operating temperature stays within 0°C–70°C and cost is prioritized over temperature margin |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 4.38V threshold (±0.5% initial accuracy), push-pull output, 1.6µA typical ICC, 2% tempco | Push-pull output requires no pull-up; tighter initial accuracy but higher supply current than MAX6348UR44+T | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR when board space permits larger SOT23-5 and push-pull drive simplifies routing |
Compared with MAX6328UR44+T, the MAX6348UR44+T provides extended −40°C to +85°C operation and identical open-drain functionality; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it trades tighter accuracy and push-pull convenience for lower quiescent current and proven transient immunity in legacy designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6348UR44+T and its tolerance over temperature?
The MAX6348UR44+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.38V, with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±2.5% tolerance across the full −40°C to +85°C operating range. This specification is factory-trimmed and guaranteed per the Electrical Characteristics table in the official datasheet, ensuring consistent brownout detection for 4.5V nominal power rails.
Does MAX6348UR44+T require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, MAX6348UR44+T features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor - typically 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ - connected between the RESET pin and the target logic rail (e.g., VCC or 3.3V). This configuration enables wired-OR reset buses and compatibility with microprocessors having bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola 68HC11.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6348UR44+T remains functional?
MAX6348UR44+T is guaranteed to maintain correct reset state down to VCC = 1.2V across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range. Below 1.2V, the device may not assert or release reset reliably; however, its 1.2V lower limit supports operation during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors fail.
How does the reset timeout duration of MAX6348UR44+T vary with temperature?
The reset timeout (power-up reset pulse width) of MAX6348UR44+T ranges from 100ms (minimum) to 280ms (maximum) across temperature. The Typical Operating Characteristics graph "POWER-UP RESET TIMEOUT vs. TEMPERATURE" shows monotonic increase from ~140ms at −40°C to ~210ms at +85°C, with 100ms guaranteed minimum at all temperatures.
Is MAX6348UR44+T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs like MAX809?
Yes, MAX6348UR44+T is pin-compatible with MAX809 in the SOT23-3 package - sharing identical pin 1 (GND), pin 2 (RESET), and pin 3 (VCC) assignments. However, MAX6348UR44+T offers improved specs: lower supply current (1µA vs. 20µA), tighter threshold tolerance (±2.5% vs. ±2.8%), and enhanced transient immunity, making it a direct functional upgrade.
