Product details
Overview
MAX6348XR44+T from Maxim Integrated is an 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), holds reset for ≥100ms after recovery, draws ≤1µA supply current, and operates from 1.2V to 5.5V across –40°C to +85°C - used in portable battery-powered µP systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6348XR44+T datasheet, MAX6348XR44+T pinout, MAX6348XR44+T application, or MAX6348XR44+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 4.38V reset threshold, SC70-3 open-drain output, ultra-low 1µA quiescent current, guaranteed reset assertion down to 1V VCC, and immunity to fast VCC transients up to 100V/µs.
Technical Context
The MAX6348XR44+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 40ppm/°C tempco and 9.5mV hysteresis, ensuring stable threshold behavior across industrial temperature range. Its open-drain RESET output interfaces directly with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) using a single external pull-up resistor.
Reset timeout is internally timed to guarantee ≥100ms minimum pulse width after VCC exceeds VTH, with typical power-up delay of 185ms and maximum of 280ms. The device ignores negative-going VCC transients shorter than values shown in the Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive graph - critical for noisy power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable detection of 4.38V supply brownout without false triggers |
| Supply Current | ≤1.0µA at +25°C - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Reset Timeout | 100ms (min) to 280ms (max) - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power recovery |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - supports wired-OR configurations and bidirectional µP reset pins |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - allows operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V logic domains |
| Transient Immunity | Rated for VCC slew rates up to 100V/µs - suppresses false resets from switching noise or ESD-induced glitches |
| Reset Hysteresis | 9.5mV - prevents oscillation near threshold during slow-rising/falling VCC conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6348XR44+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 package (outline X3-2, land pattern 90-0208), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, RoHS-compliant with lead-free terminations.
| 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 resistor to VCC or another logic rail; sinks ≥1.6mA when asserted |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input; monitors voltage level and powers internal circuitry; accepts 1.2V–5.5V with full functionality |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.38V with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±2.5% over full temperature range - eliminates manual calibration |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1µA max across temperature - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Open-drain output architecture | Enables direct interface with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., 68HC11) and shared reset bus configurations |
| Guaranteed reset state down to 1V VCC | Ensures valid reset assertion even during severe brownout or partial power loss conditions |
| Transient-immune comparator design | Rejects VCC glitches <100µs wide (depending on overdrive), preventing spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809R44+T | Same 4.38V threshold, push-pull output, 2.5µA ICC (vs. 1µA), SC70-3 package | Requires no external pull-up; unsuitable for wired-OR or bidirectional reset buses | Select when lowest BOM count is prioritized and open-drain functionality is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 4.38V threshold, open-drain output, 1.8µA ICC, SOT23-3 package, 200ms min timeout | Larger 2.92mm × 1.6mm SOT23 footprint; lacks guaranteed 1V VCC operation | Choose when higher drive strength (20mA sink) or TI ecosystem alignment outweighs SC70 size constraint |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6348XR44+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6348XR44+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.38V, specified as ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This corresponds to a minimum threshold of 4.270V and maximum of 4.489V under worst-case conditions - verified per Table 1 in the official datasheet.
Does MAX6348XR44+T support operation at VCC below 2.0V, and what is its minimum functional voltage?
Yes, MAX6348XR44+T is fully guaranteed to operate and assert valid reset down to VCC = 1.2V over temperature, with correct reset state maintained even at 1.0V (per Absolute Maximum Ratings). This enables reliable brownout detection in deeply undervolted systems where other supervisors fail.
What is the output configuration of MAX6348XR44+T, and what external components does it require?
MAX6348XR44+T features an active-low open-drain RESET output (Pin 2), requiring only a single external pull-up resistor to the desired logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). No capacitors, resistors for threshold setting, or trimming components are needed - enabling true 3-pin simplicity.
How does MAX6348XR44+T handle fast voltage transients on the VCC line?
MAX6348XR44+T's reset comparator is specifically designed to ignore fast negative-going VCC transients. Its immunity is quantified in the "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Threshold Overdrive" graph: for a 4.38V threshold, transients less than ~120µs (at 100mV overdrive) will not trigger reset - suppressing noise from switching regulators or ESD events.
Is MAX6348XR44+T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX63xx family, and which packages are offered?
Yes, MAX6348XR44+T shares identical pinout and SC70-3 footprint with all MAX6326/MAX6327/MAX6328/MAX6346/MAX6347 variants. It is also available in SOT23-3 (MAX6348UR44+T), and both packages are pin-compatible with legacy MAX803/MAX809/MAX810 families - enabling drop-in upgrades in existing layouts.
