Product details
Overview
MAX6356SVUT from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with precision dual-supply monitoring (VCC1 = 2.93V, VCC2 = 1.58V), active-low push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, adjustable third-voltage input (RSTIN = 1.22V threshold), and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V. It supports multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and undervoltage detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6356SVUT datasheet, MAX6356SVUT pinout, MAX6356SVUT application, or MAX6356SVUT equivalent, this device delivers verified triple-supply supervision, factory-trimmed thresholds with ±0.05V accuracy over temperature, 20µA quiescent current, 100ms min reset pulse width, and robust manual-reset debouncing - critical for industrial controllers and battery-powered instrumentation.
Technical Context
The MAX6356SVUT integrates two independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 monitoring plus a dedicated RSTIN comparator for a third external voltage, all feeding a single active-low push-pull reset generator. Its reset assertion logic triggers if *either* VCC1 drops below 2.93V *or* VCC2 drops below 1.58V *or* RSTIN falls below 1.22V.
It operates across -40°C to +85°C with guaranteed performance: supply current ≤50µA, reset timeout period 100–280ms, reset output low voltage ≤0.3V at 50µA sink, and RSTIN input bias current ±25nA - enabling high-impedance resistive divider configurations without loading error.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.93V ±0.05V (factory-trimmed, guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 1.58V ±0.05V (factory-trimmed, guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C) |
| RSTIN Threshold | 1.22V ±0.03V (enables precise third-voltage monitoring via external resistor divider) |
| Supply Current | 20µA typical (enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems) |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100ms minimum (ensures reliable µP initialization across slow-starting power rails) |
| RESET Valid Down To | VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V (guarantees reset assertion during deep brownout conditions) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (fully specified for industrial and extended-temperature applications) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6356SVUT is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (U6-1 outline, 21-0058) with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and exposed pad optional for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives low to 0.3V @ 50µA sink; no external pullup required |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference for all comparators and reset generator |
| 3 | MR | Debounced manual-reset input; asserted low forces reset; internally pulled up ~63.5kΩ to VCC1 |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input; powers internal circuitry when VCC2 > VCC1 and monitored against 1.58V threshold |
| 5 | RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input; monitors third voltage with 1.22V internal reference; requires VCC1 as supply |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input; powers internal circuitry when VCC1 > VCC2 and monitored against 2.93V threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC1 (2.93V), VCC2 (1.58V), and external voltage via RSTIN (1.22V ref) - eliminates need for discrete comparators in multirail systems |
| Factory-trimmed thresholds | ±0.05V accuracy over full temperature range ensures consistent reset behavior without calibration |
| Low quiescent current | 20µA typical enables >10-year battery life in portable equipment with periodic wake-up supervision |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET remains valid down to VCC1 = 1.0V or VCC2 = 1.0V - critical for detecting deep brownouts before complete rail collapse |
| No external components | Integrated MR pullup, glitch filtering, and push-pull output eliminate BOM cost and PCB area vs. discrete solutions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6355SVUT | Open-drain RST output (vs. push-pull in MAX6356SVUT); requires external pullup resistor | Suitable where level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is needed; less drive strength than push-pull | Select MAX6355SVUT only if open-drain interface compatibility is required; otherwise MAX6356SVUT provides stronger, simpler reset drive. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor only (no RSTIN input); fixed 3.3V/1.6V thresholds; no third-voltage capability | Limited to dual-rail systems; cannot replace MAX6356SVUT's triple-monitoring function without adding external circuitry | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive dual-supply applications; MAX6356SVUT remains necessary where third-voltage supervision is mandatory. |
Compared with MAX6355SVUT, MAX6356SVUT offers higher drive capability and simplified layout; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it uniquely supports true triple-supply monitoring without external components - making it irreplaceable in designs requiring RSTIN functionality.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6356SVUT?
The MAX6356SVUT has a factory-trimmed VCC1 threshold of 2.93V (±0.05V over -40°C to +85°C) and a VCC2 threshold of 1.58V (±0.05V over temperature). These values are defined by the "SV" suffix per the Voltage Threshold Levels table and are guaranteed in production testing - not typical-only specifications.
Does the MAX6356SVUT support monitoring a third voltage, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6356SVUT supports third-voltage monitoring via its RSTIN pin, which features a precise 1.22V internal reference. An external resistive divider scales the target voltage to match this threshold. The RSTIN input draws only ±25nA, minimizing divider loading error - enabling accurate monitoring of voltages such as battery levels or auxiliary rails without additional op-amps.
What type of reset output does the MAX6356SVUT provide, and what are its drive capabilities?
The MAX6356SVUT provides an active-low push-pull reset output (RST pin) referenced to VCC1. It guarantees VOL ≤ 0.3V when sinking 50µA across the full temperature range, eliminating the need for external pullup resistors. This contrasts with open-drain variants like MAX6355SVUT and simplifies interface design with modern µPs requiring strong reset drive.
Is the MAX6356SVUT compatible with systems where supply rails fall below 1.8V during brownout conditions?
Yes - the MAX6356SVUT guarantees valid reset assertion as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V, per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. This allows reliable detection of deep brownouts before complete rail collapse, a key requirement in safety-critical applications like industrial controllers and medical devices using the MAX6356SVUT.
What package and RoHS status does the MAX6356SVUT use, and how is it ordered?
The MAX6356SVUT is supplied in a 6-pin SOT23 package (U6-1 outline) with lead(Pb)-free construction. The "-T" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (2500-piece minimum order). Lead-free versions are ordered using "+T" instead of "-T", per Maxim's ordering conventions - both variants are fully RoHS compliant and pin-compatible.
