Product details
Overview
The MAX6356TWUT from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1, 3.08V VCC1 threshold, 1.67V VCC2 threshold, and integrated RSTIN input for monitoring a third voltage at 1.22V. It operates over –40°C to +85°C in a 6-pin SOT23 package and supports multivoltage embedded systems requiring precise power-up sequencing and fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6356TWUT datasheet, MAX6356TWUT pinout, MAX6356TWUT application, or MAX6356TWUT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply monitoring capability (VCC1/VCC2), adjustable third-voltage supervision via RSTIN, guaranteed RESET validity down to 1.0V on either supply, 20µA quiescent current, and compatibility with battery-powered and industrial control systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6356TWUT implements a dual-threshold comparator architecture monitoring VCC1 (3.08V nominal) and VCC2 (1.67V nominal), asserting reset if either supply falls below its respective trip point. Its RSTIN input provides a fixed 1.22V threshold for external voltage monitoring using a resistive divider.
Reset assertion is guaranteed as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V, enabling robust operation during brownout conditions. The device features debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible manual reset (MR) and delivers a minimum 100ms reset pulse width after power-on or MR release.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 3.08V ±0.08V (–40°C to +85°C); ensures reliable reset assertion when primary supply drops below nominal 3.3V rail |
| VCC2 Threshold | 1.67V ±0.05V (–40°C to +85°C); enables supervision of low-voltage auxiliary rails such as 1.8V or 1.5V domains |
| RSTIN Threshold | 1.22V ±0.03V; allows precise third-voltage monitoring (e.g., 1.2V core supply) via external resistor divider |
| Supply Current | 20µA typical; minimizes standby power draw in battery-critical portable applications |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100ms minimum; satisfies μP reset timing requirements for stable initialization |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded deployments |
| Package | 6-pin SOT23; surface-mount footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6356TWUT is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package with 0.95mm pitch, JEDEC MO-178AA compliant, suitable for reflow soldering and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST1 | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives low without external pull-up, compatible with CMOS inputs |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system common ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Debounced manual-reset input; pulling low forces reset; internally pulled up ~63.5kΩ to VCC1 |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input and monitor rail; powers device when > VCC1 and triggers reset if < 1.67V |
| 5 | RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input; asserts reset when voltage falls below 1.22V; powered by VCC1 |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input and monitor rail; powers device when > VCC2 and triggers reset if < 3.08V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage thresholds | Simultaneous monitoring of 3.08V and 1.67V supplies eliminates need for discrete comparators or multiple supervisors |
| Third-voltage supervision via RSTIN | 1.22V internal reference enables accurate monitoring of 1.2V core or other auxiliary rails using only two external resistors |
| Guaranteed RESET down to 1.0V | Ensures valid reset signal even during deep brownout-critical for fail-safe shutdown in industrial controllers |
| 20µA ultra-low supply current | Extends battery life in portable instrumentation without compromising supervision accuracy |
| 100ms min reset pulse width | Meets or exceeds reset timing requirements of most ARM Cortex-M and legacy 8-bit microcontrollers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6356TUT | VCC2 threshold = 1.58V (vs. 1.67V); otherwise identical pinout, RSTIN function, and timing specs | Suitable where tighter margin on 1.5V rail supervision is required; may assert reset earlier during slow VCC2 ramp | Select MAX6356TUT when system requires lower VCC2 trip point; verify timing margins against actual 1.5V rail behavior |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V only); no RSTIN or VCC2 monitoring; 350ms reset timeout vs. 100ms min | Lacks triple-voltage capability; requires additional ICs to replicate MAX6356TWUT's functionality | Use only if system has only one monitored rail and can accommodate longer reset pulse; not a functional substitute |
Compared with MAX6356TUT, the MAX6356TWUT offers higher VCC2 threshold tolerance for 1.67V rails, while TPS3808G33DBVR lacks dual/third-supply monitoring entirely-making MAX6356TWUT uniquely suited for compact multivoltage supervision without component stacking.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC1 and VCC2 threshold voltage for MAX6356TWUT?
The MAX6356TWUT has a VCC1 threshold of 3.08V (±0.08V over –40°C to +85°C) and a VCC2 threshold of 1.67V (±0.05V over the same range). These values are factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the MAX6356TWUT datasheet. The "TW" suffix directly encodes these thresholds per Maxim's ordering nomenclature.
Does MAX6356TWUT support monitoring a third voltage, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6356TWUT supports third-voltage monitoring via its RSTIN pin, which features a precise 1.22V internal threshold. To supervise voltages above 1.22V-such as 3.3V or 5V rails-a resistive divider scales the input down to the RSTIN reference level. The MAX6356TWUT datasheet provides the exact formula: VEXT = 1.22V × (R1 + R2)/R2. This function is exclusive to the MAX6355/MAX6356/MAX6357 variants.
What is the reset output type and drive capability of MAX6356TWUT?
The MAX6356TWUT provides an active-low push-pull RST1 output referenced to VCC1. It sinks up to 1.2mA at VCC1 ≥ 2.7V (VOL ≤ 0.3V) and sources 350µA at VCC1 > VTH1(MAX) (VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC1). This eliminates the need for external pull-up resistors and ensures clean, fast edges compatible with modern microcontroller reset inputs.
Is MAX6356TWUT compatible with systems where supply voltages drop below 1.0V?
No-MAX6356TWUT guarantees valid reset operation only while at least one supply (VCC1 or VCC2) remains ≥ 1.0V. Below 1.0V, the internal circuitry cannot maintain defined logic states. For applications requiring reset assertion down to 0V, Maxim recommends external circuitry (e.g., Figure 4 in the MAX6356TWUT datasheet), though that configuration is incompatible with push-pull outputs like those on MAX6356TWUT.
What package and RoHS status does MAX6356TWUT use?
MAX6356TWUT is supplied in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6-1, outline 21-0058) with lead(Pb)-free construction. The "-T" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging; RoHS compliance is indicated by the "+T" variant (MAX6356TWUT+T), while standard MAX6356TWUT meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is rated for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
