Product details
Overview
The MAX6355RVUT+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low open-drain reset output, 2.63V VCC1 threshold, 1.58V VCC2 threshold, and adjustable third-voltage monitoring input (RSTIN) referenced to VCC1. It operates over –40°C to +85°C in a 6-pin SOT23 package and supports systems requiring independent monitoring of three supply rails-e.g., +3.3V, +1.8V, and a custom analog or I/O rail-in industrial controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6355RVUT+ datasheet, MAX6355RVUT+ pinout, MAX6355RVUT+ application, or MAX6355RVUT+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply validity down to 1.0V per rail, 100ms minimum reset pulse width, 20µA quiescent current, and RSTIN comparator with 1.22V internal reference for flexible third-rail threshold setting.
Technical Context
The MAX6355RVUT+ integrates two precision voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 supervision plus a dedicated undervoltage-reset comparator input (RSTIN) referenced to VCC1. Its reset assertion logic triggers when any monitored supply falls below its factory-set threshold-2.63V for VCC1 and 1.58V for VCC2-or when RSTIN drops below 1.22V.
It features an active-low open-drain RST output with guaranteed validity as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V, enabling robust reset signaling even during deep brownout conditions. The device includes a debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible manual-reset input (MR) and supports no external components for dual- or triple-voltage system supervision.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.63V ±0.05V at +25°C; guarantees reset assertion when primary supply drops below nominal 2.63V rail |
| VCC2 Threshold | 1.58V ±0.03V at +25°C; enables reliable supervision of low-voltage auxiliary rails like 1.5V or 1.8V I/O supplies |
| RSTIN Threshold | 1.22V ±0.03V at +25°C; allows precise third-rail monitoring via external resistive divider (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, or custom analog supply) |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100–280ms; ensures sufficient duration to fully reset microcontrollers and peripheral ICs without requiring external timing components |
| Supply Current | 20µA typical at +25°C; minimizes standby power impact in battery-powered equipment and always-on subsystems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications without derating |
| Reset Validity | Guaranteed while VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V; maintains functional reset state during severe supply sag or partial power loss |
Pinout & Package
MAX6355RVUT+ is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (U6-1 outline), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and thermal pad not present. Pin 1 is RST (open-drain), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR, Pin 4 is VCC2, Pin 5 is RSTIN, and Pin 6 is VCC1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low open-drain reset output | Pulled low to assert reset; requires external pull-up to VCC1 or another compatible rail; compatible with bidirectional µP reset pins via series resistor |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 - MR | Manual-reset input | Debounced active-low signal; forces reset when pulled ≤0.8V (for L/M suffixes); remains asserted for timeout period after release |
| 4 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input & monitor | Supplies internal circuitry when VCC2 > VCC1; monitored against 1.58V threshold; valid range: 1.2V to 5.5V |
| 5 - RSTIN | Adjustable third-voltage monitor input | Accepts external voltage divider; asserts reset if input falls below 1.22V; powered by VCC1; max input = VCC1 |
| 6 - VCC1 | Primary supply input & monitor | Primary power source and reference; monitored against 2.63V threshold; powers RSTIN and MR logic; valid range: 1.2V to 5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage supervision | Monitors VCC1 (2.63V), VCC2 (1.58V), and third rail via RSTIN (1.22V ref) - eliminates need for discrete comparators or multiple supervisors |
| Open-drain RST output | Enables wired-OR reset bus configuration and safe interfacing with bidirectional µP reset pins using a single 4.7kΩ series resistor |
| 1.0V supply validity guarantee | Ensures RESET remains logically valid even when either VCC1 or VCC2 sags to 1.0V - critical for brownout resilience in multirail systems |
| 20µA ultra-low supply current | Reduces quiescent power draw in always-on monitoring paths - suitable for battery-backed real-time clocks and sensor nodes |
| No external components required | Factory-trimmed thresholds and integrated glitch filtering eliminate external resistors, capacitors, or RC networks for basic supervision |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6356RVUT+ | Push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1; same VCC1/VCC2 thresholds and RSTIN specs | Requires no external pull-up; incompatible with wired-OR reset buses or bidirectional µP pins without buffering | Select when driving a single load directly and minimizing external component count is prioritized over bus flexibility |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-voltage supervisor only (no RSTIN); 3.3V/1.8V fixed thresholds; 350nA IQ; SOT23-6 | Lacks third-rail monitoring capability; unsuitable where analog or custom supply supervision is required | Choose only for simpler dual-rail systems where RSTIN functionality is unnecessary and ultra-low IQ is critical |
Compared with MAX6355RVUT+, MAX6356RVUT+ offers push-pull drive but forfeits open-drain flexibility, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces quiescent current by 98% but omits the essential RSTIN feature - making MAX6355RVUT+ the sole option for validated triple-rail supervision with bus-compatible reset signaling.

FAQ
What is the function of the RSTIN pin on the MAX6355RVUT+?
The RSTIN pin on the MAX6355RVUT+ is an adjustable third-voltage monitor input with a precise 1.22V internal reference. When an external resistive divider applies a voltage to RSTIN, the MAX6355RVUT+ asserts reset if that voltage falls below 1.22V. This enables supervision of custom or nonstandard supply rails - such as 2.5V analog, 3.3V I/O, or 5V peripherals - without requiring additional comparator ICs. RSTIN is powered by VCC1 and must not exceed VCC1.
Does the MAX6355RVUT+ provide watchdog timer functionality?
No, the MAX6355RVUT+ does not include a watchdog timer. Watchdog functionality is exclusive to the MAX6358/MAX6359/MAX6360 variants in the same family. The MAX6355RVUT+ is optimized for triple-voltage supervision only - monitoring VCC1 (2.63V), VCC2 (1.58V), and a third rail via RSTIN - and provides no WDI input or timeout logic. For watchdog capability with identical voltage thresholds, consider MAX6359RVUT+ instead.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6355RVUT+?
The absolute maximum rating for both VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6355RVUT+ is –0.3V to +6.0V relative to GND. However, the functional operating range is narrower: 1.2V to 5.5V over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. Operation outside this range may cause permanent damage or undefined behavior. The device guarantees valid RESET output as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V - a key reliability feature during brownout conditions.
Can the MAX6355RVUT+ be used in systems with bidirectional microprocessor reset pins?
Yes, the MAX6355RVUT+ can safely interface with bidirectional µP reset pins due to its open-drain RST output. To prevent contention, connect a 4.7kΩ series resistor between the RST pin and the µP's reset I/O port. This limits current during bidirectional transitions and ensures the µP retains control of the line when not in reset. Do not use a pull-up resistor larger than 100kΩ to maintain adequate rise time and noise immunity.
How does the MAX6355RVUT+ ensure reset validity during deep supply sag?
The MAX6355RVUT+ guarantees RESET output validity as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V - a design feature that maintains logical reset assertion even during severe brownouts where one or both supplies collapse below their nominal thresholds. This is achieved through internal level-shifting and rail-independent output drivers. Unlike many supervisors that disable RESET below 2.0V, the MAX6355RVUT+ continues asserting reset down to 1.0V, preventing premature MCU wake-up or corrupted state transitions.
