Product details
Overview
MAX6360MSUT+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC2, 4.38V/2.93V factory-set thresholds, 20µA supply current, and integrated watchdog timer (46.4s startup / 2.9s normal timeout). It ensures reliable power-on reset and fault detection in multivoltage embedded systems such as industrial controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6360MSUT+ datasheet, MAX6360MSUT+ pinout, MAX6360MSUT+ application, or MAX6360MSUT+ equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC2-referenced RST2 output behavior, dual-supply monitoring with guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC1 = 1V or VCC2 = 1V, and watchdog timing architecture supporting both boot initialization and runtime supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6360MSUT+ implements dual independent voltage comparators with precision factory-trimmed thresholds (VTH1 = 4.38V ±0.08V, VTH2 = 2.93V ±0.05V) and 20ppm/°C tempco. Its reset generator asserts RST2 low when either VCC1 drops below 4.38V or VCC2 drops below 2.93V, with 100ms minimum reset pulse width and guaranteed operation over -40°C to +85°C.
It integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer: 46.4s startup timeout enables full system boot before supervision begins, followed by 2.9s normal timeout requiring periodic WDI transitions. The manual-reset input (MR) is debounced and TTL/CMOS-compatible, with reset assertion maintained for the timeout period after MR release.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.38V ±0.08V at +25°C; guarantees reset assertion if primary supply falls below nominal 4.38V rail |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.93V ±0.05V at +25°C; triggers reset when secondary supply drops below nominal 2.93V rail |
| Supply Current | 20µA typical; enables long battery life in portable equipment without compromising supervision accuracy |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100ms minimum; meets μP reset hold-time requirements across temperature and voltage extremes |
| Watchdog Timeout | 46.4s startup / 2.9s normal; supports complex boot sequences then enforces rapid processor activity checks |
| RESET Validity Range | Guaranteed down to VCC1 = 1V or VCC2 = 1V; maintains functional reset state during deep brownout conditions |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C extended range; qualified for industrial and automotive-adjacent embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6360MSUT+ is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (U6-1 outline, 90-0175 land pattern), RoHS-compliant with lead-free termination (+ suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST2 | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC2; drives low during fault or MR assertion |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and comparator inputs |
| 3 | MR | Debounced manual-reset input; pull low to force reset; requires no external RC network |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input and monitoring rail; powers device when above VCC1 and sets RST2 reference |
| 5 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge resets timer; unconnected disables watchdog function |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input and monitoring rail; powers device when above VCC2 and sets threshold comparator 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous precision supervision of two distinct supply rails (e.g., 4.38V core + 2.93V I/O) without external components |
| VCC2-referenced RST2 output | Push-pull driver referenced to VCC2 ensures clean logic-level reset signal compatible with downstream 2.93V-domain logic |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 46.4s startup timeout accommodates full firmware initialization; 2.9s normal timeout detects runtime lockups rapidly |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 1V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion even during severe brownout where VCC1 or VCC2 collapses to 1V |
| Low 20µA quiescent current | Minimizes impact on battery capacity in always-on portable instrumentation and remote sensors |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Portable Medical Devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6359MSUT+ | Identical thresholds (4.38V/2.93V) and package, but RST output referenced to VCC1 instead of VCC2 | Suitable when reset signal must be referenced to primary 4.38V rail rather than secondary 2.93V rail | Select MAX6359MSUT+ only if downstream logic is powered by VCC1; otherwise MAX6360MSUT+ ensures correct voltage domain alignment |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V threshold only); no dual-rail monitoring or VCC2-referenced output | Lacks dual-voltage capability and watchdog timer; requires additional ICs for multirail systems | Choose only for simple single-rail designs; not a functional substitute for MAX6360MSUT+ in dual-supply applications |
Compared with MAX6359MSUT+, MAX6360MSUT+ provides VCC2-referenced reset critical for interfacing with 2.93V peripherals; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers integrated dual-rail supervision and watchdog functionality that eliminates multiple discrete components and reduces system-level timing uncertainty.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6360MSUT+?
The MAX6360MSUT+ has factory-set thresholds of 4.38V ±0.08V for VCC1 and 2.93V ±0.05V for VCC2 at +25°C, with guaranteed operation over -40°C to +85°C. These values are laser-trimmed during production and specified in the Voltage-Threshold Levels table under suffix "MS". The MAX6360MSUT+ uses these precise thresholds to assert reset when either supply falls below its respective trip point.
How does the watchdog timer on the MAX6360MSUT+ operate during system startup?
The MAX6360MSUT+ watchdog timer initiates a 46.4s startup timeout period after any reset event (power-up, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout). This extended window allows full system initialization before transitioning to the 2.9s normal timeout mode. The timer resets on each WDI edge, so the first valid transition before 46.4s expires immediately starts the 2.9s cycle. This behavior is inherent to the MAX6360MSUT+ architecture and requires no configuration.
Is the RST2 output of the MAX6360MSUT+ compatible with 2.93V logic systems?
Yes - the RST2 output of the MAX6360MSUT+ is an active-low push-pull driver referenced to VCC2, meaning its high-state voltage equals VCC2 and its low-state voltage is ≤0.3V at 50µA sink current. When VCC2 = 2.93V, RST2 delivers a rail-to-rail output fully compatible with 2.93V logic families, eliminating level-shifting requirements in the reset path.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for the MAX6360MSUT+ to guarantee valid reset output?
The MAX6360MSUT+ guarantees valid RST2 output as long as either VCC1 ≥ 1.0V or VCC2 ≥ 1.0V, per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. This means the device continues asserting or deasserting reset correctly even during deep brownout conditions where one supply collapses to 1V, a critical feature for fail-safe operation in battery-powered systems.
Can the MAX6360MSUT+ monitor three voltage rails like some members of the same family?
No - the MAX6360MSUT+ is a dual-voltage supervisor only, monitoring VCC1 and VCC2. Unlike MAX6355/MAX6356/MAX6357 variants, it lacks the RSTIN pin for third-voltage monitoring. Its pinout (RST2, GND, MR, VCC2, WDI, VCC1) confirms no RSTIN terminal; therefore, the MAX6360MSUT+ cannot be configured to supervise a third rail without external circuitry.
