Product details
Overview
The MAX6365PKA46-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with battery backup, chip-enable gating, and factory-preset 4.63V reset threshold. It provides active-low open-drain reset output, monitors VCC supply during power-up/down/brownout, controls VCC-to-battery switchover for CMOS RAM retention, and gates CE signals with 1.5ns propagation delay. Used in portable equipment requiring reliable power monitoring and data retention.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6365PKA46-T datasheet, MAX6365PKA46-T pinout, MAX6365PKA46-T application, or MAX6365PKA46-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.63V reset threshold, 150ms minimum reset timeout, 10µA quiescent current, 8-pin SOT23 package, and manual reset input support - all critical for battery-backed µP systems with strict power integrity requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX6365PKA46-T implements a precision voltage monitor with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, integrated MOSFET-based VCC/BATT switchover logic with 40mV hysteresis, and debounced manual reset input (MR) with internal 20kΩ pullup. Its chip-enable gating uses a transmission gate architecture enabling CE IN-to-CE OUT conduction only when reset is deasserted.
Reset assertion is triggered by VCC falling below 4.63V, MR pulled low, or external fault conditions - and remains asserted for ≥150ms after recovery. The device guarantees RESET validity down to 1.2V on either VCC or VBATT, supporting ultra-low-voltage operation in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V (factory preset, ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C) - ensures reliable detection of +5V supply brownout before system instability. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms min - guarantees µP initialization completes before release from reset. |
| Supply Current | 10µA typical at VCC = 5.5V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup mode. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with Li-ion, coin-cell, and regulated logic supplies. |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pullup voltage selection. |
| Battery Switchover | VCC-to-BATT transition at VCC < VBATT − 20mV - prevents oscillation during slow supply decay. |
| CE Propagation Delay | 1.5ns - preserves timing integrity for high-speed µP address/data bus gating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOT23 (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), surface-mount, lead(Pb)-free compatible (T suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserts low during VCC undervoltage, MR low, or fault; requires external pullup; valid down to 1.2V. |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Drives CE OUT only when reset is deasserted; connect to GND or OUT if unused. |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, BATT, and signal paths; must be low-impedance. |
| 4 MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low assertion triggers reset; internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC; debounced, no external RC needed. |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | 1.2V–5.5V operating range; powers internal circuitry and sources OUT during normal operation. |
| 6 OUT | Power output | Sources from VCC (up to 150mA) or BATT (in backup mode); connects to SRAM VDD. |
| 7 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–5.5V; automatically engages when VCC falls below reset threshold and VBATT > VCC + 20mV. |
| 8 CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Gated version of CE IN; goes low only when CE IN is low AND reset is not asserted; actively pulled up to OUT. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-preset 4.63V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor network while maintaining ±1.5% accuracy across industrial temperature range. |
| On-board CE signal gating | Prevents erroneous writes to CMOS RAM during power failure via sub-2ns transmission gate path. |
| Debounced manual reset input | Internal filtering removes switch bounce; supports direct connection of momentary pushbutton to GND. |
| VCC-to-BATT switchover with hysteresis | 40mV hysteresis prevents chattering during slow VCC decay near switchover point. |
| 1.2V guaranteed operation | Enables use with single-cell LiFePO₄ or depleted alkaline batteries without external LDO. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6365LKA46-T | Same 4.63V threshold and SOT23-8 package, but push-pull RESET output instead of open-drain. | Requires no external pullup; unsuitable for wired-OR reset buses or mixed-voltage systems. | Select when driving single-load reset inputs directly and board space permits larger top-mark footprint (AAAH vs AAAN). |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 350ms reset timeout, 2.9µA IQ, SOT23-6 package - no battery switchover or CE gating. | Lacks BATT/OUT switching and chip-enable control; limited to basic reset-only functions. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-backup applications where 3.3V monitoring suffices and CE gating is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6365LKA46-T, the MAX6365PKA46-T offers flexible open-drain reset signaling at the cost of an external pullup; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers full battery backup and memory write protection - making it uniquely suited for data-critical portable systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6365PKA46-T?
The MAX6365PKA46-T has a factory-preset reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±1.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external components. The "46" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the 4.63V threshold variant per Maxim's Reset Threshold Ranges table.
Does the MAX6365PKA46-T support battery backup functionality, and how does it switch between VCC and BATT?
Yes, the MAX6365PKA46-T fully supports battery backup. It switches from VCC to BATT when two conditions are met: VCC falls below the 4.63V reset threshold, and VCC is at least 20mV lower than VBATT. A 40mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay. In backup mode, OUT is sourced from BATT, powering connected SRAM with <3µA quiescent current from the battery.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6365PKA46-T, and does it require external components?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the MAX6365PKA46-T is a debounced, active-low input that asserts reset when pulled low. It features an internal 20kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, eliminating the need for external pullups. A momentary switch from MR to GND provides full manual reset capability; no RC filter or external debounce circuitry is required, though a 0.1µF capacitor to GND is recommended in noisy environments.
Can the MAX6365PKA46-T be used without a backup battery, and how should BATT and OUT be connected?
Yes, the MAX6365PKA46-T operates without a backup battery. In this configuration, connect BATT to GND and tie OUT directly to VCC. The internal switchover MOSFET remains inactive, and OUT functions as a buffered VCC rail. All supervisory functions - including reset generation, MR input handling, and CE gating - remain fully operational, making the device suitable for cost-sensitive applications where battery backup is optional.
What is the purpose of CE IN and CE OUT on the MAX6365PKA46-T, and what is their timing behavior?
CE IN and CE OUT implement chip-enable signal gating to prevent memory corruption during power faults. CE OUT follows CE IN only when reset is deasserted; during reset, CE OUT is forced low for 12µs (typical) if CE IN was low, then actively pulled high to OUT. Propagation delay is 1.5ns under 50Ω source and 50pF load, enabling use with high-speed µPs and DSPs without timing violations.
