Product details
Overview
The MAX6365LKA23+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with battery backup, chip-enable gating, and debounced manual reset input. It monitors VCC supply voltage (1.2V to 5.5V), asserts active-low open-drain RESET when VCC falls below 2.32V, provides 150ms minimum reset timeout, and switches OUT between VCC and backup battery with <1µA standby current in battery mode - used in portable POS terminals and industrial controllers requiring reliable power-fail response.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6365LKA23+T datasheet, MAX6365LKA23+T pinout, MAX6365LKA23+T application, or MAX6365LKA23+T equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-set 2.32V reset threshold, SOT23-8 package compatibility, 10µA quiescent current, CE IN/CE OUT gating with 1.5ns propagation delay, and guaranteed RESET validity down to 1.2V supply.
Technical Context
This device integrates four core functions: precision VCC monitoring with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, automatic VCC-to-battery switchover with 40mV hysteresis, on-board chip-enable signal gating to protect CMOS RAM during brownout, and debounced manual reset input with internal 20kΩ pullup. The reset generator guarantees monotonic assertion for ≥150ms after VCC recovery.
The internal MOSFET switch delivers up to 150mA from VCC and supports battery-backup operation with VCC = 0V, while CE IN–CE OUT transmission gate operates with <100Ω on-resistance and 12µs hold time during reset assertion - enabling use with high-speed µPs and DSPs without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.32V (factory preset, ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C) - ensures reliable detection of 2.5V system brownout |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation directly from single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V/5V rails |
| Quiescent Current | 10µA (typ) at VCC = 5.5V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup mode |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms min - meets µP power-up initialization timing requirements per JEDEC JESD79 |
| CE Propagation Delay | 1.5ns (typ) - preserves timing integrity for SRAM access in >100MHz systems |
| Battery Standby Current | 3µA (max) at VBATT = 2.8V, VCC = 0V - minimizes battery drain during extended power loss |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and level translation across voltage domains |
Pinout & Package
MAX6365LKA23+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained portable and industrial PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserts low during VCC undervoltage, MR low, or reset timeout - requires external pullup for host µP interface |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Controls gating path to CE OUT; tied to GND or OUT if unused - prevents spurious writes during power failure |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC, BATT, and CE circuits - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 MR | Manual reset input | Debounced logic input with 20kΩ internal pullup to VCC - momentary switch to GND initiates system reset without external RC |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | 1.2V–5.5V operating rail; powers internal circuitry and sources OUT during normal operation |
| 6 OUT | Switched output | Sources from VCC normally, switches to BATT during brownout - delivers up to 150mA to SRAM or RTC |
| 7 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–5.5V battery; activates switchover when VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT − 20mV |
| 8 CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Gated CE signal passed only when CE IN is high and reset not asserted - blocks memory writes during fault conditions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.32V ±1.5% over full temperature range - eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration |
| Integrated battery switchover | Automatic MOSFET switching with 40mV hysteresis - prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay |
| On-chip CE gating | 1.5ns propagation delay and <100Ω on-resistance - maintains memory timing margins in high-speed µP systems |
| Debounced manual reset | Internal 20kΩ pullup and noise-immune detection - removes requirement for external debounce capacitor or Schmitt trigger |
| Ultra-low backup current | 3µA max IBACK at VBATT = 2.8V - extends CR2032 battery life beyond 10 years in standby |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6365PKA23+T | Same 2.32V threshold and SOT23-8 package, but push-pull active-low RESET output instead of open-drain | Requires no external pullup resistor; incompatible with wired-OR reset buses | Select when driving single µP reset pin directly and board layout prohibits pullup placement |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 2.5V reset threshold, 350ms timeout, 1.8µA IQ, SOT23-6 package - lacks battery switchover and CE gating | Only provides basic reset supervision; cannot replace MAX6365LKA23+T in battery-backed memory systems | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-backup applications where CE protection and battery support are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6365PKA23+T, the MAX6365LKA23+T offers flexible reset bus interfacing via open-drain output, while TPS3808G125DBVR reduces component count in simple reset-only designs but omits critical battery and memory protection features required by the original specification.

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for MAX6365LKA23+T?
The MAX6365LKA23+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.32V (minimum 2.25V, maximum 2.38V) across the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external resistor networks. The '23' suffix in MAX6365LKA23+T explicitly denotes this 2.32V threshold variant, confirmed in the Reset Threshold Ranges table and Device Marking Codes section of the official datasheet.
Does MAX6365LKA23+T support battery-backup operation with zero VCC?
Yes, MAX6365LKA23+T supports true battery-backup operation with VCC = 0V. When VCC drops below the 2.32V threshold and remains below VBATT − 20mV, the internal MOSFET connects BATT to OUT, supplying up to 150mA to attached SRAM or RTC. In this state, quiescent current drops to 3µA max (IBACK), and CE OUT remains functional to block memory writes - all verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Supply Current in Battery-Backup Mode".
What is the function of the MR pin on MAX6365LKA23+T?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6365LKA23+T is a debounced, internally pulled-up (20kΩ to VCC) logic input that asserts RESET when driven low. Reset remains active for ≥150ms after MR returns high, satisfying µP power-up timing requirements. Unlike generic reset inputs, MR requires no external RC network or Schmitt trigger - its glitch immunity (100ns at 3.3V) and propagation delay (120ns) are fully characterized in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Can MAX6365LKA23+T be used without a backup battery?
Yes, MAX6365LKA23+T operates without a backup battery. Per Applications Information section, connect BATT to GND and OUT to VCC to disable switchover functionality while retaining full reset supervision and CE gating. In this configuration, the device draws only 10µA quiescent current and continues to monitor VCC, assert RESET on undervoltage, and gate CE IN to CE OUT - making it suitable for cost-sensitive applications where battery backup is optional.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6365LKA23+T use?
MAX6365LKA23+T uses an 8-pin SOT23 package measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm (length × width × height), with standard lead pitch of 0.65mm. This footprint is identical across the MAX6365–MAX6368 family and compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment. The 'LKA' prefix in the part number specifically denotes the lead-free SOT23-8 variant, and the '+T' suffix confirms tape-and-reel packaging per Maxim's ordering conventions.
