Product details
Overview
MAX6348XR42-T from Maxim Integrated is an open-drain, active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor VCC supply voltage and assert reset during brownout, power-up, and power-down events. It features a factory-trimmed 4.20V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C), 100ms minimum reset timeout, ultra-low 1µA max supply current, and operates down to 1.2V VCC. It is used in portable battery-powered systems requiring reliable, low-power reset assertion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6348XR42-T datasheet, MAX6348XR42-T pinout, MAX6348XR42-T application, or MAX6348XR42-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain RESET output compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), immunity to fast VCC transients, and SC70-3 package suitability for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6348XR42-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 40ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 9.5mV hysteresis to prevent chatter near threshold. Its internal timing circuit guarantees ≥100ms reset assertion after VCC rises above 4.20V, with delay stable across -40°C to +85°C.
As an open-drain device, it requires an external pull-up resistor on RESET to interface with µP reset inputs, enabling bidirectional reset control - either the MAX6348XR42-T or the µP can drive the shared reset line low. It ignores negative-going VCC transients ≤200µs at 200mV overdrive, per typical operating characteristics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.20V ±2.5% (–40°C to +85°C); ensures reliable detection of 4.2V supply collapse in Li-ion powered systems. |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA max at +25°C; enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |

Applications
| Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Node | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: A wireless environmental sensor node powered by a single Li-ion cell (3.0–4.2V range) enters deep sleep between readings and must reliably reset its MCU if voltage drops below safe operating level. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit monitoring VCC and asserting open-drain RESET to hold MCU in reset until battery recovers to ≥4.20V or charger restores voltage. Use Value: Prevents corrupted firmware execution during brownout, leveraging 1µA quiescent current to extend battery life beyond 5 years. |
Use Scenario: An industrial digital I/O module with isolated RS-485 and relay drivers experiences intermittent 12V rail sag due to motor switching, risking µC lockup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset supervisor tied to 3.3V logic rail derived from 12V; asserts RESET for ≥100ms after any dip below 4.20V on its VCC input. Use Value: Ensures deterministic recovery from power disturbances without manual intervention or watchdog timeout escalation. |
| Medical Wearable Monitor | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|
Use Scenario: A wearable ECG patch uses a low-noise analog front-end and BLE SoC; supply instability during RF transmission must not cause silent data corruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-low open-drain reset generator providing clean, glitch-free reset signal synchronized to 4.20V battery threshold. Use Value: Guarantees full system reset before analog acquisition resumes, eliminating undetected state errors in clinical-grade measurements. |
Use Scenario: A BCM supplies 3.3V to CAN transceivers and microcontrollers; load dump transients on the 12V input cause brief dips on downstream regulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: VCC monitor on regulated 3.3V rail, asserting RESET for ≥100ms after any drop below 4.20V - detecting regulator failure, not raw 12V disturbance. Use Value: Enables fail-safe shutdown and controlled restart of safety-critical subsystems without relying on software watchdog alone. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6328UR42-T | SOT23-3 package (vs. SC70-3); identical electrical specs, same 4.20V threshold and open-drain output. | Same functional role but larger footprint (2.9mm × 1.6mm vs. 2.0mm × 2.1mm); better thermal dissipation in high ambient. | Select MAX6328UR42-T when board layout requires SOT23 land pattern or higher power handling margin is needed. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Push-pull active-low output (not open-drain); 3.3V fixed threshold; 1.6µA max ICC; same SC70-3 package. | Lacks bidirectional reset capability; requires no pull-up but cannot share reset bus with other open-drain sources. | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if system uses dedicated reset line and 3.3V threshold suffices - not a drop-in replacement for MAX6348XR42-T. |
Compared with MAX6328UR42-T, MAX6348XR42-T offers identical functionality in a smaller SC70-3 footprint ideal for ultra-compact designs; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides open-drain flexibility for shared reset buses but requires external pull-up and targets 4.2V systems rather than 3.3V.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6348XR42-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6348XR42-T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.20V at +25°C, with tolerance of ±1.5% at room temperature and ±2.5% across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. Its temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, meaning drift is limited to approximately ±10.5mV over the entire temperature span - sufficient for stable operation in battery-powered and industrial environments.
Does MAX6348XR42-T require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, MAX6348XR42-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 µP's VCC or reset-rail voltage. This enables wired-OR functionality and bidirectional reset control, as confirmed in the Applications Information section for interfacing with Motorola 68HC11 µPs.
Can MAX6348XR42-T operate with VCC below 2.5V, and what is its minimum functional supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6348XR42-T is fully specified down to VCC = 1.2V over temperature, and the reset comparator remains valid for VCC as low as 1.0V (absolute minimum rating). At 1.2V, it maintains correct reset assertion state and delivers RESET output voltage ≤0.4V with 100µA sink current - enabling use in ultra-low-voltage systems such as energy-harvesting nodes.
How does MAX6348XR42-T handle short power supply transients, and what is its immunity specification?
MAX6348XR42-T is designed to ignore fast negative-going VCC transients: the Typical Operating Characteristics graph shows it rejects pulses ≤200µs wide when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 200mV. This immunity prevents false resets caused by switching noise or load-dump coupling, making it suitable for electrically harsh environments like motor controls or automotive subsystems.
Is MAX6348XR42-T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset supervisors like MAX809?
Yes, MAX6348XR42-T is explicitly stated as pin-compatible with MAX803/MAX809/MAX810 in the datasheet Selector Guide. All share the same 3-pin SC70/SOT23 pinout (VCC, RESET, GND), allowing direct PCB-level replacement - provided the application requires open-drain active-low reset and a 4.20V threshold, as MAX809 variants offer different thresholds and output types.
