Product details
Overview
MAX6356SZUT from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with precision VCC1/VCC2 monitoring (2.93V/2.32V thresholds), 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 operates over –40°C to +85°C in a 6-pin SOT23 package and is used in multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and undervoltage detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6356SZUT datasheet, MAX6356SZUT pinout, MAX6356SZUT application, or MAX6356SZUT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply threshold accuracy (±0.05V over temperature), 20µA supply current, 100ms minimum reset pulse width, and support for third-voltage monitoring via resistive divider on RSTIN.
Technical Context
The MAX6356SZUT integrates two independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 monitoring, plus a dedicated 1.22V reference comparator for external RSTIN input. Reset assertion occurs if either VCC1 drops below 2.93V or VCC2 drops below 2.32V, or if RSTIN falls below 1.22V - all with 20ppm/°C tempco and 500mV hysteresis.
Its push-pull RST output is actively driven low when asserted and pulled high to VCC1 when inactive, eliminating external pull-up requirements. The device guarantees functional operation with either supply ≥1.0V, enabling robust brownout recovery in battery-backed or asymmetric power-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.93V ±0.05V (factory-trimmed, supports +2.5V/+3.3V rail monitoring) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.32V ±0.05V (factory-trimmed, supports +2.5V/+3.0V rail monitoring) |
| 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 always-on supervision circuits) |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100ms minimum (ensures reliable µP initialization across slow-starting power supplies) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (fully specified for industrial-grade embedded applications) |
| Reset Validity | Guaranteed while VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V (supports deep brownout recovery without loss of reset state) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6356SZUT 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 option not applicable. Pin 1 is RST (active-low push-pull, referenced to VCC1), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR (debounced manual-reset input), Pin 4 is VCC2, Pin 5 is RSTIN (adjustable third-voltage monitor input), and Pin 6 is VCC1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver referenced to VCC1; no external pull-up required; asserts when any monitored voltage fails |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - MR | Manual-reset input | Debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible input; forces reset when pulled low; glitch rejection ≥100ns |
| 4 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Monitors second voltage rail (2.32V threshold); powers internal circuitry when VCC2 > VCC1 |
| 5 - RSTIN | Third-voltage monitor input | Accepts external voltage via resistor divider; triggers reset if input <1.22V; powered by VCC1 |
| 6 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Monitors primary voltage rail (2.93V threshold); powers internal circuitry when VCC1 > VCC2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-set voltage thresholds | 2.93V (VCC1) and 2.32V (VCC2) with ±0.05V tolerance over –40°C to +85°C ensures accurate multirail supervision without calibration |
| Adjustable third-voltage monitoring | RSTIN input with 1.22V internal reference enables monitoring of any voltage >1.22V using two external resistors - no additional ICs needed |
| Push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1 | Eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and reduces BOM count; compatible with standard µP reset inputs requiring active-low drive |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20µA typical supply current allows integration into battery-powered or energy-sensitive systems without impacting standby life |
| Brownout resilience | RESET remains valid as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V - critical for graceful shutdown during asymmetric supply collapse |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Power Management | Medical Diagnostic 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6355SZUT | Open-drain RST output (vs. push-pull in MAX6356SZUT); requires external pull-up resistor | Suitable where µP reset pin tolerates open-drain drive or where level-shifting is needed | Select MAX6355SZUT only if system design already includes pull-up or requires bidirectional reset bus sharing |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V only); no VCC2 or RSTIN inputs; 35µA supply current vs. 20µA | Lacks dual/third-voltage monitoring - requires additional supervisors for multirail systems | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for simple single-rail applications where cost-per-rail is prioritized over integration |
Compared with MAX6355SZUT and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6356SZUT uniquely delivers integrated triple-voltage supervision in one 6-pin SOT23 with push-pull output and sub-25µA current - reducing PCB area, BOM count, and validation effort for multirail embedded designs.

FAQ
What voltage thresholds does the MAX6356SZUT monitor?
The MAX6356SZUT monitors VCC1 at 2.93V and VCC2 at 2.32V, both factory-trimmed with ±0.05V tolerance over –40°C to +85°C. Its RSTIN pin provides a third monitoring point with a fixed 1.22V threshold, enabling precise supervision of auxiliary voltages via an external resistor divider. These thresholds are confirmed in the Voltage-Threshold Levels table and Electrical Characteristics section of the MAX6356SZUT datasheet.
Does the MAX6356SZUT require an external pull-up resistor on its RST pin?
No, the MAX6356SZUT features an active-low push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, which actively drives high when inactive - eliminating the need for an external pull-up resistor. This differs from open-drain variants like MAX6355SZUT and simplifies layout while ensuring clean, fast reset transitions. The MAX6356SZUT's RST output is fully specified for ISOURCE up to 800µA in the (_T/_S/_R) versions.
Can the MAX6356SZUT monitor a 5V supply?
No, the MAX6356SZUT is not configured to monitor a 5V supply - its VCC1 threshold is fixed at 2.93V and VCC2 at 2.32V. To supervise a 5V rail, a different variant such as MAX6351LTUT (4.63V/3.08V) would be required. The MAX6356SZUT's thresholds are permanently set by its suffix "SZ" per the Voltage-Threshold Levels table and cannot be adjusted externally.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for the MAX6356SZUT to maintain valid reset output?
The MAX6356SZUT guarantees valid RESET output as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V - a key specification enabling robust brownout recovery. This behavior is explicitly stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables, and verified across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. Below 1.0V on both rails, reset state is no longer guaranteed.
Is the MAX6356SZUT RoHS-compliant and available in lead-free packaging?
Yes, the MAX6356SZUT is RoHS-compliant. Per Maxim Integrated's ordering information, lead-free versions are indicated by replacing the "-T" suffix with "+T" (e.g., MAX6356SZUT+T). The device is offered in both leaded and lead(Pb)-free packaging, and the "+" character in the package code denotes RoHS status. Footprint and land pattern remain identical between versions (U6-1 outline, 21-0058).
