Product details
Overview
MAX6348UR46-T from Maxim Integrated is an open-drain, active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor 4.63V power supplies and assert reset during brownout, power-up, and power-down events. It delivers ultra-low 1µA max supply current, guarantees correct operation down to 1V VCC, provides ≥100ms reset timeout after VCC recovery, and features factory-trimmed ±1.5% (25°C) / ±2.5% (-40°C to +85°C) reset threshold accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6348UR46-T datasheet, MAX6348UR46-T pinout, MAX6348UR46-T application, or MAX6348UR46-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain RESET output for bidirectional µP interface compatibility, immunity to fast VCC transients, no external component requirement, and SOT23-3 packaging for space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6348UR46-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 40ppm/°C tempco and 9.5mV hysteresis to reject noise and ensure stable reset assertion. Its internal timing circuit guarantees minimum 100ms reset pulse width after VCC rises above 4.63V, with full specification across -40°C to +85°C.
As part of the MAX634x series, it shares identical SC70/SOT23-3 footprint and pinout with MAX632x/MAX634x family members but differs exclusively in reset threshold (4.63V) and output type (open-drain), enabling direct substitution where voltage and drive requirements match.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V nominal, ±1.5% at +25°C - ensures reliable detection of 4.63V supply collapse before system malfunction |
| Supply Current | 1µA max at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment without compromising supervision integrity |
| Reset Timeout | 100ms min after VCC recovery - guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Operating Range | VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions down to 1.2V |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - allows wired-OR configuration and direct interface with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) |
| Tempco | 40ppm/°C - limits threshold drift to <±12mV over full -40°C to +85°C range, ensuring consistent trip point |
| Transient Immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤200µs at 200mV overdrive - prevents false resets from switching noise or ESD-induced dips |
Pinout & Package
MAX6348UR46-T uses a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (outline U3-1, land pattern 90-0179), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height - compatible with high-density PCB layouts and standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output; requires external pull-up to VCC or another logic rail; sinks ≥1.6mA when asserted |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input; monitors this rail for reset condition; operates from 1.2V to 5.5V with guaranteed functionality down to 1V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1µA max enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors and wearables |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.63V ±1.5% at +25°C eliminates need for external resistor dividers or calibration |
| Open-drain output architecture | Supports multi-source reset arbitration and level-shifting via external pull-up to non-VCC rails |
| Full temperature specification | Guaranteed performance from -40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| No external components required | Reduces BOM count, PCB area, and qualification effort versus discrete reset solutions |
Applications
| Industrial PLCs | Battery-Powered Sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6346UR46-T | Push-pull active-low RESET output instead of open-drain; same 4.63V threshold and SOT23-3 package | Requires no external pull-up; unsuitable for wired-OR or level-shifted reset buses | Select MAX6346UR46-T only when driving single-load CMOS inputs directly and board layout prohibits pull-up resistors |
| MAX809TR46-T | Same 4.63V threshold and SOT23-3 package, but higher 20µA supply current and no guaranteed operation below 1.2V | Limited to higher-power applications; lacks deep-brownout capability for ultra-low-voltage systems | Choose MAX809TR46-T only if legacy design reuse is required and 1µA quiescent current is not critical |
Compared with MAX6346UR46-T and MAX809TR46-T, the MAX6348UR46-T uniquely combines open-drain flexibility, 1µA ultra-low power, and guaranteed sub-1.2V operation-making it optimal for battery-critical, multi-source reset, or wide-input-range embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6348UR46-T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6348UR46-T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, factory-trimmed to ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. This precision eliminates manual calibration and ensures consistent brownout detection across temperature extremes without external components.
Does MAX6348UR46-T support operation below 1.2V VCC, and what is its minimum functional voltage?
Yes, the MAX6348UR46-T is guaranteed to maintain correct reset state down to 1V VCC, with full electrical specifications valid from 1.2V to 5.5V. This deep-brownout capability ensures reliable supervision during severe supply sags where many competing supervisors cease functioning.
How does the open-drain output of MAX6348UR46-T differ from push-pull alternatives like MAX6346UR46-T?
The MAX6348UR46-T's open-drain RESET output requires an external pull-up resistor and enables wired-OR configurations, bidirectional reset handshaking (e.g., with Motorola 68HC11), and level shifting to non-VCC logic rails. In contrast, MAX6346UR46-T's push-pull output drives high/low actively but cannot share a common reset bus.
What is the maximum transient duration that MAX6348UR46-T can ignore without asserting reset?
The MAX6348UR46-T rejects VCC transients up to 200µs in duration when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 200mV, per Maxim's Typical Operating Characteristics graph. Shorter transients at larger overdrive magnitudes are also suppressed, providing robust immunity to switching noise and ESD-induced dips.
Is MAX6348UR46-T pin-compatible with industry-standard reset ICs such as MAX809 or MAX810?
Yes, the MAX6348UR46-T is pin-compatible with MAX803/MAX809/MAX810 in the SOT23-3 package, sharing identical pinout (VCC, RESET, GND) and footprint. However, designers must verify that the open-drain output and 1µA supply current meet system-level interface and power budget requirements.
