Product details
Overview
MAX6361LUT46+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-preset 4.63V reset threshold, battery switchover capability, and active-low push-pull reset output. It operates from +1.2V supply, monitors VCC down to 1.2V, provides 150ms minimum reset timeout, and supports SRAM backup during brownout. Used in portable/battery-powered equipment for reliable µP reset and power-fail detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6361LUT46+ datasheet, MAX6361LUT46+ pinout, MAX6361LUT46+ application, or MAX6361LUT46+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.63V precision reset threshold, SOT23-6 package, 1.2V operational minimum, battery-on switchover hysteresis, and guaranteed reset assertion during VCC transients below threshold.
Technical Context
This device integrates precision voltage monitoring, manual reset debouncing (MR input), and battery-backed power switchover into a single SOT23-6 IC. Its internal comparator references a stable bandgap, enabling ±1.5% reset threshold accuracy over -40°C to +85°C and immunity to supply transients up to 30µs at 100mV overdrive.
The MAX6361LUT46+ implements a dual-path power switch: when VCC ≥ VTH and VCC > VBATT + 20mV, OUT connects to VCC; when VCC < VTH and VBATT > VCC + 20mV, OUT switches to BATT with MOSFET on-resistance as low as 2.7Ω at 2.8V. Reset remains asserted for ≥150ms after VCC recovers above 4.63V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V (factory preset, ±1.5% tolerance over temperature) |
| Operating Supply | +1.2V to +5.5V (VCC or VBATT - enables operation from single-cell Li+ or coin cell) |
| Reset Timeout | ≥150ms (guaranteed minimum delay before reset deassertion after VCC recovery) |
| Supply Current | 15µA typical at VCC = 5.5V (ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life) |
| Battery Standby | 0.05µA max at TA = -40°C to +85°C (negligible drain on backup source) |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull RESET (no external pull-up required, drives µP reset pin directly) |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Withstands 30µs negative-going glitches 100mV below VTH (reduces false resets in noisy environments) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6-1 outline, 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm height, RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; sinks 20mA; valid down to VCC = 1.2V |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, BATT, and all internal circuits |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Debounced logic-low input; asserts reset while low and for ≥150ms after release |
| 4 - VCC | Main supply input | Primary power source; reset asserted when VCC falls below 4.63V |
| 5 - OUT | Power output | Switches between VCC and BATT; powers SRAM or real-time clock during brownout |
| 6 - BATT | Backup battery input | Connects to coin cell or Li+; activates switchover when VCC < VBATT − 20mV |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.63V reset threshold | Enables reliable monitoring of +5V systems with ±1.5% accuracy across full industrial temperature range |
| 1.2V minimum operating voltage | Supports direct connection to single-cell Li+ (2.7–4.2V) or alkaline (1.5V) without LDO, reducing BOM count |
| Integrated battery switchover | Automatically transfers SRAM power to BATT during VCC brownout with 40mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates need for external pull-up resistor, simplifying layout and ensuring fast, rail-to-rail reset signaling |
| 150ms guaranteed reset timeout | Ensures µP completes power-up initialization before release, preventing code execution errors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6361HUT46+ | Same 4.63V threshold and push-pull output, but rated for -40°C to +125°C (vs. -40°C to +85°C) | Suitable for under-hood automotive or high-temp industrial enclosures where extended temperature range is mandatory | Select when ambient operating temperature exceeds +85°C; otherwise identical functionality and pinout |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, open-drain output, 1.2V min supply, but lacks battery switchover and BATT pin | Applicable only in non-battery-backed systems requiring basic reset supervision without power path control | Choose only if battery backup is unnecessary and 3.3V reset level suffices; no functional replacement for switchover capability |
Compared with MAX6361HUT46+, the MAX6361LUT46+ offers identical electrical performance at lower cost for commercial-temperature applications, while the TPS3808G33DBVR provides simpler reset-only supervision without power-path management - making it unsuitable for SRAM backup use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6361LUT46+?
The MAX6361LUT46+ has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±1.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet (Rev 4, October 2011), and applies specifically to the "46" suffix variant. The MAX6361LUT46+ uses this precise threshold to supervise +5V power rails in systems where marginal undervoltage must trigger a controlled reset before logic errors occur.
Does the MAX6361LUT46+ support battery backup switchover, and how does it work?
Yes, the MAX6361LUT46+ fully supports automatic battery backup switchover. When VCC drops below the 4.63V reset threshold and VBATT exceeds VCC by at least 20mV, the internal MOSFET connects BATT to the OUT pin to power downstream SRAM or RTC. Switchover occurs within 20µs, and hysteresis prevents oscillation. The MAX6361LUT46+ requires no external components for this function - the BATT pin accepts 1.2V–5.5V backup sources, and OUT delivers up to 150mA from VCC or 10mA from BATT.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6361LUT46+?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the MAX6361LUT46+ is a debounced, active-low input that forces reset assertion when pulled low. Reset remains active for ≥150ms after MR returns high, ensuring µP initialization completes. The MAX6361LUT46+ includes an internal 20kΩ pull-up to VCC, so MR can be driven directly by a momentary switch to GND or TTL/CMOS logic. No external RC network is needed - the MAX6361LUT46+ handles noise rejection internally, making it ideal for field-serviceable or test-mode reset functions.
Can the MAX6361LUT46+ operate with a 1.2V supply, and what happens to reset functionality at that voltage?
Yes, the MAX6361LUT46+ operates down to 1.2V on either VCC or VBATT, and its RESET output remains fully functional at this voltage - asserted low when VCC < 4.63V and deasserted only after VCC rises above threshold and holds for ≥150ms. The datasheet guarantees RESET/RESET validity down to 1.2V, meaning the output stage maintains rail-to-rail logic levels and sink capability (20mA) even at minimum supply. This allows the MAX6361LUT46+ to supervise ultra-low-voltage systems such as energy-harvesting nodes or single-cell battery applications.
Is the MAX6361LUT46+ pin-compatible with other variants in the MAX6361–MAX6364 family?
Yes, all MAX6361–MAX6364 devices, including the MAX6361LUT46+, share identical SOT23-6 pinout and footprint (U6-1 outline). Pin 1 is RESET, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR, Pin 4 is VCC, Pin 5 is OUT, and Pin 6 is BATT - regardless of suffix (e.g., 23, 26, 29, 31, 44, 46) or variant (MAX6361 vs. MAX6362). This allows drop-in replacement across threshold voltages and feature sets (e.g., swapping MAX6361LUT46+ for MAX6361LUT29+ requires no PCB change, only firmware validation of new threshold behavior).
