Product details
Overview
MAX6365LKA44-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with battery-backup switching, chip-enable gating, and factory-preset 4.38V reset threshold. It provides active-low open-drain RESET output, monitors VCC down to 1.2V, delivers ≤10µA quiescent current, and supports CMOS RAM write protection in brownout conditions-used in portable POS terminals and industrial controllers requiring reliable power-fail response.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6365LKA44-T datasheet, MAX6365LKA44-T pinout, MAX6365LKA44-T application, or MAX6365LKA44-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.38V reset threshold accuracy, 150ms minimum reset timeout, SOT23-8 package compatibility, and integrated CE gating with 1.5ns propagation delay for SRAM protection.
Technical Context
The MAX6365LKA44-T implements a precision voltage monitor with ±1.5% threshold tolerance over temperature, internal 20kΩ MR pullup, and dual-path power routing: VCC powers OUT during normal operation, while BATT supplies OUT when VCC drops below 4.38V and VBATT exceeds VCC by ≥20mV. Its chip-enable gating uses a transmission gate with 20–100Ω on-resistance and 12µs reset-to-CE OUT delay.
It features debounced manual reset input (MR), guaranteed RESET assertion down to 1.2V VCC or VBATT, and transient immunity validated up to 30µs at 100mV overdrive-enabling robust operation in noisy industrial environments without external RC filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V (factory preset, ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C) - ensures reliable detection of 3.3V/5V supply brownout |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms min - guarantees µP initialization completes before release |
| Supply Current | 10µA max at VCC = 5.5V - enables multi-year battery backup in portable systems |
| Operating Voltage | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with 1.2V logic and legacy 5V rails |
| CE Propagation Delay | 1.5ns - preserves timing integrity for high-speed µP address/data buses |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET - allows wired-OR configuration with other supervisors |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV - prevents oscillation during slow VCC ramp-down |
Pinout & Package
MAX6365LKA44-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in handheld and embedded applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserts low during VCC < 4.38V, MR low, or power failure; requires external pullup for logic-level compatibility |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Directly gates CE signal to SRAM; low disables write path during reset to prevent data corruption |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, BATT, and digital logic; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 4 MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low assertion triggers reset; internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC eliminates need for external resistor |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | Powers device and sources OUT during normal operation; monitored for reset generation |
| 6 OUT | Power output | Switches between VCC and BATT based on voltage comparison; delivers up to 150mA to SRAM |
| 7 BATT | Backup battery input | Provides hold-up power when VCC fails; requires ≥20mV above VCC to engage switchover |
| 8 CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Passes CE IN when reset inactive; held low for 12µs after reset assertion to complete ongoing memory access |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-board CE gating | 1.5ns propagation delay and 20–100Ω on-resistance enable glitch-free SRAM write blocking during power faults |
| Debounced MR input | Internal 20kΩ pullup and noise-immune design eliminate external debounce components in pushbutton reset circuits |
| Battery switchover control | Automatic VCC/BATT selection with 40mV hysteresis ensures stable RAM power during brownout without oscillation |
| Low 10µA supply current | Extends backup battery life to >5 years in always-on monitoring applications using standard coin cells |
| 1.2V operation guarantee | RESET remains valid even as VCC or VBATT decays to 1.2V - critical for graceful shutdown in ultra-low-voltage systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6365PKA44-T | Same 4.38V 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 bus configurations | Select when driving single-load RESET lines without shared bus requirements |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 350ms timeout, 2.5µA quiescent current, SOT23-6 package | Lacks battery switchover, CE gating, and manual reset - limited to basic power monitoring | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-battery-backed applications where 4.38V threshold is not required |
Compared with MAX6365PKA44-T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6365LKA44-T uniquely combines 4.38V precision reset, open-drain flexibility, integrated battery switchover, and CE gating-making it irreplaceable in designs requiring SRAM data retention during power failure.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6365LKA44-T?
The MAX6365LKA44-T has a factory-preset reset threshold of 4.38V (typical), with guaranteed range of 4.25V to 4.50V over -40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external resistor programming - ensuring consistent 3.3V/5V supply monitoring without calibration.
Does the MAX6365LKA44-T support battery backup functionality?
Yes, the MAX6365LKA44-T fully supports battery backup: when VCC falls below 4.38V and VBATT exceeds VCC by ≥20mV, it automatically switches OUT from VCC to BATT. The internal MOSFET provides ≤4.6Ω on-resistance at 2.38V VCC, enabling up to 150mA SRAM hold-up current with minimal voltage drop.
What is the function of the CE IN and CE OUT pins on the MAX6365LKA44-T?
The CE IN and CE OUT pins implement hardware-enforced chip-enable gating: during normal operation, CE IN passes directly to CE OUT with 1.5ns delay; when RESET asserts, CE OUT is disabled to block memory writes. If CE IN is low at reset onset, CE OUT stays low for 12µs to complete pending SRAM access - preventing data corruption during power faults.
Can the MAX6365LKA44-T operate with a 1.2V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6365LKA44-T operates down to 1.2V on both VCC and VBATT inputs, and its RESET output remains valid (guaranteed logic level) at this voltage. This enables use in ultra-low-power systems such as energy-harvesting sensors or deep-sleep microcontrollers where supply rails decay below 1.8V.
Is the MR pin on the MAX6365LKA44-T internally pulled up?
Yes, the MR pin on the MAX6365LKA44-T includes an internal 20kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, eliminating the need for an external pullup. A momentary switch from MR to GND generates a clean reset pulse, and the internal debounce ensures immunity to contact bounce - simplifying front-panel reset implementation.
