Product details
Overview
MAX6365LKA46 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with manual reset input, 4.63V factory-preset reset threshold, push-pull active-low RESET output, and integrated battery-backup switchover for CMOS RAM retention. It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V, delivers ≤15µA supply current, and provides chip-enable gating with 1.5ns propagation delay - used in portable POS terminals and industrial controllers requiring reliable brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6365LKA46 datasheet, MAX6365LKA46 pinout, MAX6365LKA46 application, or MAX6365LKA46 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact SOT23-8 pin mapping, confirmed 4.63V reset threshold tolerance (±0.13V), battery-switchover hysteresis (40mV), and manual reset debounce timing (150ms min timeout).
Technical Context
The MAX6365LKA46 implements a precision voltage monitor with internal 4.63V reference and comparator, coupled to a reset timer with guaranteed 150ms minimum assertion period after VCC recovery. Its VCC-to-OUT MOSFET switch enables seamless transition to backup battery when VCC falls below both VTH and VBATT by ≥20mV.
It integrates a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 20kΩ internal pullup and logic-level compatibility, and performs chip-enable gating via a transmission gate between CE IN and CE OUT - disabling write access during reset while maintaining <9ns propagation delay under 50Ω/50pF conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V (factory preset, ±0.13V over -40°C to +85°C) - ensures reliable detection of +5V rail brownout before system instability. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation directly from single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V/5V rails without external regulators. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤15µA at VCC = 5.5V - enables multi-year battery backup for SRAM in always-on embedded systems. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms minimum - guarantees µP initialization completes before release, meeting JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements. |
| VCC-to-OUT On-Resistance | 4.6Ω at VCC = 2.38V, IOUT = 25mA - limits voltage drop to <115mV under 25mA load, preserving SRAM VCC margin. |
| CE IN to CE OUT Delay | 1.5ns typical - allows use with high-speed µPs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M7) without violating memory access timing. |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV - prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay near VBATT, eliminating false toggling of RAM power source. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6365LKA46 is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B footprint MS-012AA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP /RESET pin directly without external pullup; sinks 1.6mA @ 0.3V VOL, supports 5V-tolerant logic interfaces. |
| 2 - CE IN | Chip-enable input | Connects to µP CE or memory controller output; gated internally during reset to block write cycles to SRAM. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, BATT, and signal paths; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into reset comparator. |
| 4 - MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low assertion triggers reset; internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC eliminates need for external resistor; 1µs minimum pulse width accepted. |
| 5 - VCC | Main supply input | Primary power source (1.2–5.5V); monitored for reset generation; powers internal circuitry and drives OUT during normal operation. |
| 6 - OUT | Regulated output | Supplies SRAM or RTC; sourced from VCC (normal) or BATT (backup); delivers up to 150mA with <4.6Ω on-resistance. |
| 7 - BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0–5.5V backup source; activates switchover when VCC < VTH and VCC < (VBATT − 20mV); draws <1µA standby current. |
| 8 - CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Passes CE IN signal during normal operation; forced low for 12µs after reset assertion to complete ongoing memory cycle. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6365PKA46-T | Same 4.63V threshold and manual reset function, but open-drain active-low RESET output instead of push-pull. | Requires external pullup resistor for µP /RESET interface; better suited for wired-OR reset busing across multiple supervisors. | Select when system-level reset arbitration or level-shifting to different voltage domains is needed. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, 1.8µA quiescent current, no battery switchover or CE gating; SOT23-6 package. | Lacks backup power management and memory write protection - suitable only for basic reset-only applications. | Choose only if battery backup and SRAM write protection are not required and 3.3V rail supervision suffices. |
Compared with MAX6365PKA46-T and TPS3808G33DBVR, MAX6365LKA46 uniquely combines 4.63V precision monitoring, push-pull RESET drive, integrated battery switchover, and sub-2ns CE gating - making it the sole option for compact, self-contained +5V SRAM backup in space-constrained portable equipment.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6365LKA46 and its tolerance over temperature?
The MAX6365LKA46 has a factory-preset reset threshold of 4.63V, with a guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This specification is validated per Maxim's production test flow and appears in the Reset Threshold Ranges table of the official datasheet. The MAX6365LKA46 uses laser-trimmed internal resistors to achieve this precision without external components.
Does MAX6365LKA46 support battery backup for voltages below 2.5V, and what is the minimum VBATT required?
Yes, MAX6365LKA46 supports battery backup down to VBATT = 2.0V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Operating Characteristics. The device switches to battery when VCC falls below both the 4.63V threshold and VBATT by at least 20mV. Minimum functional VBATT is 2.0V - verified by the BATT-to-OUT On-Resistance vs. Temperature graph showing operation at VBATT = 2.0V, IOUT = 25mA.
Can MAX6365LKA46 be used with a 3.3V microprocessor that requires an active-low reset signal?
Yes, MAX6365LKA46 provides a push-pull active-low RESET output compatible with 3.3V µPs. Its RESET pin sinks 1.6mA while asserted (VOL ≤ 0.3V) and sources current when deasserted (VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC). When VCC = 3.3V, VOH ≥ 2.64V - safely exceeding 3.3V µP VIH thresholds. No level shifter or pullup is needed, and the MAX6365LKA46 RESET output remains valid down to VCC = 1.2V.
How does the manual reset input (MR) on MAX6365LKA46 behave during power-up and noise events?
The MR input on MAX6365LKA46 features an internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC and accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels. A low pulse ≥1µs asserts reset, which remains active for ≥150ms after MR returns high. During noisy conditions, a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND adds immunity - confirmed in the Applications Information section. MR is ignored during battery-backup mode, ensuring no unintended resets when VCC is absent.
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of MAX6365LKA46's OUT pin in battery-backup mode?
In battery-backup mode, MAX6365LKA46's OUT pin delivers up to 20mA continuously from the BATT source, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings (BATT Continuous = 40mA) and Electrical Characteristics (IBACK = 3µA typical, IBATT = 0.02µA typical). The 20mA limit is derived from the BATT-to-OUT on-resistance curve: at VBATT = 2.8V and 20mA, voltage drop is <0.15V - ensuring stable SRAM operation. Higher currents require external buffering.
