Product details
Overview
MAX6355RWUT from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, 2.63V VCC1 threshold, 1.67V VCC2 threshold, and adjustable RSTIN input (1.22V typical) for monitoring a third voltage. It operates from -40°C to +85°C in a 6-pin SOT23 package and supports systems requiring reliable power-on reset, manual reset debouncing, and supply fault detection across three rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6355RWUT datasheet, MAX6355RWUT pinout, MAX6355RWUT application, or MAX6355RWUT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply monitoring capability (VCC1/VCC2), RSTIN-based third-voltage supervision, open-drain reset architecture, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC1 = 1V or VCC2 = 1V, and compatibility with multivoltage embedded controllers and portable equipment.
Technical Context
The MAX6355RWUT integrates two independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 monitoring, plus a dedicated RSTIN comparator referenced to 1.22V (±3mV over temperature), enabling precise third-rail supervision via external resistive divider. Its reset generator asserts RST when any monitored supply drops below its factory-set threshold or when MR is pulled low.
Unlike watchdog-equipped variants (e.g., MAX6358–MAX6360), the MAX6355RWUT omits watchdog functionality but retains debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible manual reset input and guarantees valid reset output as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V - critical for brownout resilience in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.63V ±0.05V at +25°C; ensures reliable reset assertion when primary supply falls below nominal 2.63V rail |
| VCC2 Threshold | 1.67V ±0.03V at +25°C; enables accurate monitoring of secondary low-voltage rail (e.g., 1.8V LDO output) |
| RSTIN Threshold | 1.22V ±0.03V; allows precise third-voltage supervision (e.g., 3.3V via 2.7MΩ/1.0MΩ divider) without external reference |
| Supply Current | 20µA typical; minimizes quiescent load on battery or energy-harvesting supplies |
| Reset Timeout | 100ms minimum pulse width; meets JEDEC JESD8-12A requirements for processor initialization hold time |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation environments |
| Package | 6-pin SOT23; surface-mount footprint compatible with automated PCB assembly and space-constrained designs |
Pinout & Package
MAX6355RWUT is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (U6-1 outline, land pattern 90-0175), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm body, and exposed pad optional per Maxim's package drawings.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output; requires external pullup to VCC1 or system rail; sinks ≥1.2mA at 0.3V |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to lowest-impedance system ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Debounced manual-reset input; asserted low forces reset; internal 32–100kΩ pullup eliminates need for external resistor |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input and monitor rail; powers device when > VCC1; threshold = 1.67V |
| 5 | RSTIN | Adjustable undervoltage-comparator input; 1.22V threshold enables third-rail monitoring via resistive divider |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input and monitor rail; powers device when > VCC2; threshold = 2.63V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC1 (2.63V), VCC2 (1.67V), and third rail via RSTIN (1.22V), eliminating need for discrete comparators in multirail systems |
| Open-drain RST output | Allows wired-OR reset bus sharing across multiple supervisors or processors without contention |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET remains functional even if VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 1.0V - essential for graceful shutdown during brownout |
| No external components | Factory-trimmed thresholds and integrated MR pullup enable full supervision with zero external passives |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects <100ns negative VCC transients up to 1.0V overdrive, preventing false resets in noisy environments |
Applications
| Computers | Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6356RWUT | Push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1 (vs. open-drain); identical VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN thresholds and timing | Requires no external pullup; incompatible with wired-OR reset buses | Select MAX6356RWUT when driving a single processor reset pin directly and minimizing external components |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V only); no VCC2 or RSTIN inputs; 200ms fixed reset timeout | Lacks triple-rail capability; suitable only for single-rail systems with no third-voltage monitoring need | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if supervising one rail and cost is prioritized over multirail flexibility |
Compared with MAX6356RWUT, the MAX6355RWUT provides open-drain reset for bus sharing but requires an external pullup; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers true triple-voltage supervision at the cost of higher pin count and design complexity - making it indispensable for multirail reliability-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the RSTIN pin on the MAX6355RWUT?
The RSTIN pin on the MAX6355RWUT is an adjustable undervoltage-comparator input with a precise 1.22V threshold (±0.03V). It enables monitoring of a third voltage rail - such as a battery or auxiliary supply - using an external resistive divider. When the divided voltage falls below 1.22V, the MAX6355RWUT asserts its open-drain RST output. This feature is unique to the MAX6355RWUT, MAX6356RWUT, and MAX6357RWUT within the family and is not present in dual-supply-only variants like MAX6351 or MAX6358.
Does the MAX6355RWUT include a watchdog timer?
No, the MAX6355RWUT does not include a watchdog timer. Watchdog functionality is exclusive to the MAX6358, MAX6359, and MAX6360 variants in the MAX6351–MAX6360 family. The MAX6355RWUT focuses on triple-voltage supervision (VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN) with manual reset debouncing and guaranteed reset validity down to 1.0V on either supply rail - making it ideal for applications where watchdog oversight is handled externally or not required.
What are the exact voltage thresholds for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6355RWUT?
The MAX6355RWUT has a VCC1 threshold of 2.63V (±0.05V at +25°C, ±0.15V over -40°C to +85°C) and a VCC2 threshold of 1.67V (±0.03V at +25°C, ±0.09V over temperature). These values are factory-trimmed and specified in the Voltage Threshold Levels table of the datasheet under suffix "RW". Both thresholds exhibit ≤20ppm/°C tempco, ensuring stable trip points across industrial temperature ranges.
Can the MAX6355RWUT operate with supply voltages below 2.63V or 1.67V?
Yes - the MAX6355RWUT remains functional and guarantees valid RST output as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V, even if both are below their respective threshold voltages. Its internal circuitry operates down to 1.2V over the full temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), and the reset output remains asserted (low) when either supply drops below its trip point. This behavior ensures fail-safe operation during brownout conditions common in battery-powered systems.
Is the MAX6355RWUT pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6351–MAX6360 family?
The MAX6355RWUT uses the same 6-pin SOT23 (U6-1) package and pinout as MAX6356RWUT, MAX6357RWUT, MAX6358RWUT, MAX6359RWUT, and MAX6360RWUT - all share identical pin assignments: Pin 1 = RST, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = MR, Pin 4 = VCC2, Pin 5 = RSTIN/WDI, Pin 6 = VCC1. However, functional differences exist: RSTIN is unused on MAX6358–MAX6360 (replaced by WDI), and RST topology varies (open-drain vs. push-pull). Thus, while physically interchangeable, electrical compatibility requires verification against target functionality.
