Product details
Overview
MAX6348UR46 from Maxim Integrated is an open-drain, active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor 4.63V power supplies and assert reset during brownout or power-up/down events. It delivers 1µA max supply current, 100ms minimum reset timeout, factory-trimmed ±1.5% threshold accuracy at +25°C, and operates across -40°C to +85°C. Used in portable battery-powered systems requiring reliable, low-power reset assertion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6348UR46 datasheet, MAX6348UR46 pinout, MAX6348UR46 application, or MAX6348UR46 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed SOT23-3 package mapping, validated open-drain reset behavior, temperature-stable hysteresis (9.5mV), and direct alternatives with documented output topology and threshold differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6348UR46 implements a precision voltage comparator with internal reference and hysteresis to detect VCC drops below its 4.63V reset threshold. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pull-up resistor and supports bidirectional µP reset interfaces like the Motorola 68HC11.
It features transient immunity up to 200µs for 100mV overdrive, guaranteed correct state down to 1V VCC, and no external components required. All electrical specs-including 0.4V VOL at 100µA sink-are fully characterized from -40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±1.5% at +25°C; ensures reliable detection of 4.63V supply collapse before system malfunction |
| Supply Current | 1µA max; enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices without compromising reset reliability |
| Reset Timeout | 100ms minimum after VCC rise; guarantees sufficient hold time for full µP initialization sequence |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low; allows wired-OR configuration and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Hysteresis | 9.5mV; prevents oscillation during slow VCC recovery near threshold |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; remains functional and correctly latched even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6348UR46 is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with SC70-3 but with larger pad spacing and thermal mass. The package supports tape-and-reel delivery and both leaded and lead-free assembly (suffix "+T" for RoHS).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low output; sinks current when asserted; requires external pull-up to VCC or another rail |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input; monitored voltage source; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 1µA max enables >10-year shelf life in battery-backed instrumentation |
| Factory-trimmed VTH | 4.63V with ±1.5% room-temp tolerance eliminates manual calibration or external resistors |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤200µs at 100mV overdrive-critical for noisy automotive or industrial rails |
| No external components | Single-chip solution reduces BOM count, PCB area, and qualification effort vs. discrete reset circuits |
| Wide VCC range | Operates down to 1.0V VCC-ensures valid reset state even during severe brownout or cold-start conditions |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG patch powered by CR2032 coin cell with intermittent BLE transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3V LDO output and asserts open-drain reset to ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU during battery sag below 4.63V. Use Value: 1µA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 24 months; open-drain output interfaces directly with MCU's bidirectional reset pin without level-shifting. |
Use Scenario: Door module controlling window lift, mirror fold, and interior lighting in 12V vehicle architecture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5V system rail derived from buck converter; holds MCU in reset during cranking-induced dips below 4.63V. Use Value: Guaranteed operation down to 1V VCC ensures reset remains asserted through deep cranking transients; 100ms timeout satisfies ISO 16750-2 cold-cranking timing requirements. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Submodules | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted analog input card with isolated ADC and RS-485 interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets FPGA-based controller on 3.3V auxiliary rail during AC power interruption or surge-induced brownout. Use Value: 9.5mV hysteresis prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery; SOT23-3 footprint fits high-density layout constraints. |
Use Scenario: Revenue-grade meter with real-time clock, metrology ASIC, and NB-IoT modem operating from 3.6V Li-SOCl₂ battery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fail-safe reset to metrology processor when main 4.63V regulated rail collapses due to battery end-of-life. Use Value: Factory-trimmed 4.63V threshold matches exact battery cutoff voltage; 1µA ICC avoids measurable drain on primary energy source. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6328UR46 | Same SOT23-3 package, identical 4.63V threshold and open-drain output, but rated only to +70°C ambient | Limited to commercial-temperature applications; not qualified for extended industrial or automotive use | Select MAX6328UR46 only if operating environment stays ≤+70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs temperature margin |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Push-pull active-low output, 3.3V fixed threshold, 1.6µA ICC, same SOT23-3 footprint | Requires redesign of pull-up network; unsuitable where bidirectional reset or 4.63V monitoring is mandatory | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when 3.3V supervision suffices and board-level pull-up can be removed |
Compared with MAX6348UR46, MAX6328UR46 sacrifices temperature range for lower unit cost, while TPS3808G33DBVR changes output topology and threshold-neither offers drop-in replacement capability without schematic or firmware validation.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6348UR46 and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6348UR46 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.63V, with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. This specification is guaranteed-not typical-and applies directly to the MAX6348UR46 device, ensuring predictable brownout response without external calibration.
Does MAX6348UR46 require an external pull-up resistor on its RESET pin?
Yes, MAX6348UR46 features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC or another logic rail. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements. This design enables wired-OR reset networks and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins, as confirmed in the MAX6348UR46 datasheet Figure 1.
Can MAX6348UR46 operate reliably during severe power supply transients?
Yes, MAX6348UR46 is designed to ignore fast negative-going VCC transients: it suppresses reset assertion for glitches ≤200µs duration when VCC sags 100mV below threshold. This transient immunity is measured and specified in the MAX6348UR46 Electrical Characteristics table and validated across temperature, making it suitable for automotive and industrial environments.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6348UR46 guarantees correct reset state?
MAX6348UR46 guarantees correct reset assertion and latching behavior down to VCC = 1.0V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Functional Operation sections of the MAX6348UR46 datasheet. This ensures fail-safe operation during deep brownout or cold-start conditions where other supervisors may release reset prematurely.
Is MAX6348UR46 pin-compatible with legacy Maxim reset ICs like MAX809?
Yes, MAX6348UR46 is explicitly stated as pin compatible with MAX803/MAX809/MAX810 in the MAX6348UR46 datasheet Pin Configuration section. All share identical SOT23-3 pinout (VCC, RESET, GND), enabling drop-in replacement where open-drain output and 4.63V threshold meet system requirements-no PCB changes required.
