Product details
Overview
The MAX6365LKA23-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with battery-backup switching, chip-enable gating, and debounced manual reset input. It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V, features a factory-preset 2.32V reset threshold, guarantees RESET assertion down to 1.2V, delivers 150ms minimum reset timeout, and supports CMOS RAM write protection in portable medical monitors and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6365LKA23-T datasheet, MAX6365LKA23-T pinout, MAX6365LKA23-T application, or MAX6365LKA23-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT23-8 package, active-low open-drain RESET output, 10µA quiescent current, VCC-to-BATT switchover hysteresis, and CE IN/CE OUT propagation delay under 9ns - all critical for reliable power-fail response in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
This device integrates four core functions: (1) power-on/power-down/brownout reset generation with 20µs VCC-falling delay; (2) automatic VCC-to-battery switchover when VCC drops below both reset threshold and VBATT by ≥20mV; (3) chip-enable signal gating with 1.5ns propagation delay and 20–100Ω on-resistance; and (4) debounced manual reset input with 20kΩ internal pullup and 120ns MR-to-RESET delay.
It uses an internal MOSFET for battery switchover, maintains CE OUT high during reset if CE IN was high, holds CE OUT low for 12µs if CE IN was low at reset assertion, and guarantees RESET/RESET validity down to 1.2V supply - enabling operation across full battery discharge profiles in handheld instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.32V (factory preset, ±70mV over temperature) - ensures reliable detection of 2.5V rail brownout before system instability. |
| Quiescent Current | 10µA (typ) at VCC = 5.5V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup mode. |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms min - satisfies µP power-up timing requirements for most ARM Cortex-M and PIC microcontrollers. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with Li-ion, coin-cell, and regulated 3.3V/5V supplies without external level shifting. |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV (20mV up + 20mV down) - prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay near threshold. |
| CE Propagation Delay | 2ns to 9ns (50Ω source, 50pF load) - preserves timing integrity for SRAM access in ≤20MHz bus systems. |
| Supply Transient Immunity | Withstands 30µs transients 100mV below VTH - reduces false resets in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6365LKA23-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for PCB area-constrained applications including portable diagnostics and smart sensors.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output | Asserts high during VCC undervoltage, MR low, or reset timeout; requires external pullup for logic-level compatibility. |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Controls gating path to CE OUT; tied to GND or OUT if unused; 1µA leakage ensures low standby power. |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC, BATT, and CE circuits; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 MR | Manual reset input | Debounced logic input with 20kΩ internal pullup; asserts reset when pulled low; no external RC needed. |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and sources OUT during normal operation. |
| 6 OUT | Power output | Sources from VCC normally; switches to BATT during brownout; delivers up to 150mA with <4.6Ω on-resistance. |
| 7 BATT | Battery backup input | Accepts 0V–6V; activates switchover when VCC < VTH and VCC < (VBATT − 20mV); draws <1µA in standby. |
| 8 CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Gated version of CE IN; disabled during reset to prevent SRAM corruption; actively pulled to OUT when isolated. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-board CE gating | 1.5ns propagation delay and <100Ω on-resistance enable direct integration with high-speed µP address/data buses without timing penalties. |
| Debounced MR input | Internal 20kΩ pullup and 120ns delay eliminate need for external RC debounce, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint. |
| VCC-to-BATT switchover | Automatic MOSFET-controlled transition with 40mV hysteresis ensures glitch-free RAM retention during mains failure or battery swap. |
| 1.2V guaranteed operation | RESET/RESET remains valid down to 1.2V supply - supports deep battery discharge monitoring in coin-cell-powered IoT nodes. |
| Low 10µA supply current | Enables >10-year shelf life in battery-backed memory retention applications using CR2032 cells (220mAh). |

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 reset threshold (2.32V) and functionality, but push-pull active-low RESET output instead of open-drain active-high. | Requires no external pullup resistor; better suited for systems needing direct drive of µP reset pins without level translation. | Select when interfacing with legacy microcontrollers that require active-low push-pull reset signals and lack internal pullups. |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | Lower quiescent current (1.1µA), fixed 1.25V threshold, no battery switchover or CE gating; SOT23-6 package. | Only provides basic reset supervision - lacks backup power management and memory write protection features. | Choose only for simple reset-only applications where battery backup and CE control are unnecessary and ultra-low IBACK is critical. |
Compared with MAX6365PKA23-T and TPS3808G125DBVR, the MAX6365LKA23-T uniquely combines open-drain active-high reset, integrated battery switchover, and chip-enable gating in a single SOT23-8 package - making it the only option for space-limited designs requiring coordinated power fail response and SRAM write protection.

FAQ
What is the reset output type of the MAX6365LKA23-T?
The MAX6365LKA23-T features an active-high open-drain RESET output (Pin 1). This requires an external pullup resistor to define the inactive-state voltage level. The output asserts high during VCC undervoltage, manual reset activation, or brownout conditions, and remains asserted for a minimum of 150ms after VCC recovers above the 2.32V threshold. Its open-drain structure allows wired-OR configurations and voltage-level flexibility across mixed-supply systems.
How does the MAX6365LKA23-T handle battery switchover during power failure?
The MAX6365LKA23-T automatically switches OUT from VCC to BATT when two conditions are met: VCC falls below the 2.32V reset threshold and VCC drops at least 20mV below VBATT. A 40mV total hysteresis (20mV up, 20mV down) prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay. In battery-backup mode, OUT is sourced from BATT with <4.6Ω on-resistance, delivering up to 20mA while drawing <1µA from the battery when idle - ensuring multi-year retention in coin-cell applications.
What is the function of the CE IN and CE OUT pins on the MAX6365LKA23-T?
CE IN (Pin 2) and CE OUT (Pin 8) implement chip-enable signal gating to prevent SRAM corruption during power faults. During normal operation, CE IN passes directly to CE OUT with 1.5ns propagation delay and 20–100Ω on-resistance. When reset asserts, CE OUT is disabled: if CE IN was high, CE OUT stays high; if CE IN was low, CE OUT is held low for 12µs then actively pulled to OUT. This ensures memory write cycles complete before isolation - a critical feature for reliable data logging in medical and industrial devices using the MAX6365LKA23-T.
Can the MAX6365LKA23-T operate with a 1.8V main supply?
Yes, the MAX6365LKA23-T fully supports 1.8V VCC operation. Its 1.2V to 5.5V operating range, 10µA typical supply current at 1.8V, and guaranteed RESET/RESET validity down to 1.2V make it compatible with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs. At 1.8V, the device maintains 2.32V reset detection accuracy (±70mV), 150ms timeout, and sub-9ns CE propagation delay - enabling robust supervision in energy-harvesting and battery-powered edge nodes where the MAX6365LKA23-T serves as the primary power integrity guardian.
What is the purpose of the MR pin on the MAX6365LKA23-T?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin (Pin 4) provides user-initiated system reset capability. A logic-low signal on MR asserts the RESET output immediately and holds it active for the full 150ms timeout period after MR returns high. The MAX6365LKA23-T includes a 20kΩ internal pullup resistor to VCC, eliminating external components. MR accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and is debounced internally - allowing direct connection to momentary switches or GPIOs without RC networks. This simplifies front-panel reset design in field-deployable equipment using the MAX6365LKA23-T.
