Product details
Overview
MAX6365PKA29+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with manual reset input, battery-backup switchover, and chip-enable gating. It monitors VCC supply voltage (reset threshold = 2.93V typ), asserts active-low open-drain RESET during power-up/down/brownout, switches OUT between VCC and backup battery (VBATT), and gates CE signals with 1.5ns propagation delay. Used in portable POS terminals and industrial controllers requiring reliable memory write protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6365PKA29+T datasheet, MAX6365PKA29+T pinout, MAX6365PKA29+T application, or MAX6365PKA29+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.93V factory-trimmed reset threshold, 10µA quiescent current, 8-pin SOT23 package, and integrated manual reset debouncing - critical for battery-powered µP systems with CMOS RAM retention requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX6365PKA29+T implements a precision voltage monitor with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, coupled to a reset generator with guaranteed 150ms minimum timeout. Its internal transmission gate enables CE IN-to-CE OUT signal pass-through only when reset is deasserted, providing hardware-level write protection for SRAM during supply faults.
Battery switchover is controlled by dual conditions: VCC must fall below 2.93V *and* be at least 20mV below VBATT to engage backup mode; hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay. The MR input features an internal 20kΩ pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width immunity, eliminating external debounce components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V (typ), factory-trimmed - ensures precise detection of +3.3V supply brownout without external resistor network |
| Quiescent Current | 10µA (max) at VCC = 5.5V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell backup batteries |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms (min) - guarantees µP initialization completes before release from reset state |
| Supply Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V logic domains and battery-backed operation |
| CE Propagation Delay | 1.5ns - allows use with high-speed µPs and DSPs without timing violation in memory access paths |
| MR Input Pullup | 20kΩ internal - eliminates need for external resistor when using momentary switch to GND |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET - provides flexible level-shifting and wired-OR reset bus capability |
Pinout & Package
MAX6365PKA29+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. Pin numbering follows standard SOT23 top-view orientation with pin 1 marked by dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - sinks up to 1.6mA; requires external pullup for logic-high state |
| 2 | CE IN | Chip-enable input - connected to µP's CE or /CS line; gated to CE OUT only when reset is inactive |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 | MR | Manual reset input - logic low asserts reset; internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC enables switch-to-GND interface |
| 5 | VCC | Main supply input - powers device and sources OUT during normal operation (1.2V–5.5V range) |
| 6 | OUT | Switched output - delivers power to SRAM from VCC or VBATT depending on supply status |
| 7 | BATT | Backup battery input - supplies OUT when VCC < 2.93V and VCC < VBATT − 20mV |
| 8 | CE OUT | Chip-enable output - passes CE IN signal only when reset is deasserted; actively pulled to OUT when disabled |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.93V ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C - eliminates calibration overhead and external resistor tolerance dependency |
| Integrated CE gating | 1.5ns propagation delay with 20Ω on-resistance - prevents spurious writes to SRAM during power transitions without added logic |
| Debounced manual reset | Internal 20kΩ pullup and 1µs glitch immunity - supports direct connection of mechanical switch without RC filter |
| Battery switchover hysteresis | 40mV (20mV up + 20mV down) - avoids oscillation during slow VCC ramp-down in brownout conditions |
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 1.2V VCC or VBATT - enables compatibility with emerging ultra-low-power microcontrollers |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6365LKA29+T | Same functionality and 2.93V threshold, but leaded (Pb-containing) SOT23 package | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant production; identical electrical behavior in non-automotive contexts | Select MAX6365PKA29+T for lead-free manufacturing; choose LKA version only if legacy Pb assembly is mandated |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, 1.8µA quiescent current, no manual reset or CE gating | Lacks battery switchover and memory write protection - requires external MOSFET and logic for equivalent functionality | Use only when simplified supervision suffices and backup power management is handled separately |
Compared with MAX6365PKA29+T, the LKA29 variant shares identical supervision parameters but requires Pb-based soldering processes, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces power consumption by 44% yet omits critical battery-backup and CE gating features needed for SRAM retention in portable systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6365PKA29+T?
The MAX6365PKA29+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93V (typical), with guaranteed range of 2.85V to 3.00V across -40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external resistor calibration. The "29" suffix in MAX6365PKA29+T explicitly denotes this 2.93V threshold variant, confirmed in Maxim's Reset Threshold Ranges table.
Does the MAX6365PKA29+T support battery-backup operation with lithium coin cells?
Yes, the MAX6365PKA29+T supports battery-backup operation with standard 3V lithium coin cells (e.g., CR2032). When VCC drops below 2.93V and falls at least 20mV below VBATT, the device automatically switches OUT from VCC to the battery. Quiescent current in backup mode is just 3µA (typ), enabling multi-year operation on typical coin cells without significant capacity drain.
How does the manual reset (MR) input function on the MAX6365PKA29+T?
The MR input on MAX6365PKA29+T is a debounced, internally pulled-up (20kΩ to VCC) signal. Holding MR low asserts active-low RESET continuously; RESET remains asserted for ≥150ms after MR returns high. No external components are needed - a momentary switch from MR to GND suffices. Glitch immunity is 1µs, making it robust against contact bounce and EMI.
Can the MAX6365PKA29+T be used without a backup battery?
Yes, the MAX6365PKA29+T operates fully without a backup battery. In this configuration, connect BATT to GND and tie OUT directly to VCC. All supervision functions - reset generation, MR input handling, and CE gating - remain fully operational. The device draws only 10µA quiescent current, making it suitable for always-on monitoring even in non-battery-backed systems.
What is the purpose of the CE IN and CE OUT pins on the MAX6365PKA29+T?
The CE IN and CE OUT pins implement hardware-level memory write protection on the MAX6365PKA29+T. CE IN connects to the µP's chip-enable signal; CE OUT drives the SRAM's /CE input. During normal operation, CE IN passes through to CE OUT with 1.5ns delay. When reset asserts, CE OUT is immediately disabled - preventing spurious writes to volatile memory during power faults or reset sequences.
