Product details
Overview
MAX6366HKA31+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with integrated watchdog timer, battery-backup switchover, and chip-enable gating. It monitors +3.08V supply (factory preset threshold), asserts active-high open-drain RESET on power-up/brownout/watchdog timeout, supports 1.2V–5.5V operation, and delivers up to 150mA from VCC or backup battery. Used in portable POS terminals and industrial controllers requiring reliable reset and data retention during main supply failure.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6366HKA31+T datasheet, MAX6366HKA31+T pinout, MAX6366HKA31+T application, or MAX6366HKA31+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.08V reset threshold, 1.6s watchdog timeout, 150ms reset timeout period, 10µA quiescent current, and SOT23-8 package with CE IN/CE OUT signal gating capability.
Technical Context
The MAX6366HKA31+T integrates a precision voltage monitor with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, a monostable watchdog timer with 1.00–2.25s timeout range (typ. 1.6s), and bidirectional VCC/BATT switchover logic with 40mV hysteresis. Its internal transmission gate provides 1.5ns CE IN-to-CE OUT propagation delay under 50Ω drive and 50pF load.
RESET output is open-drain active-high, pulled up externally or internally to OUT; it remains asserted for ≥150ms after VCC rises above 3.08V or after watchdog timeout. Battery-backup mode activates only when VCC < VTH and VCC < (VBATT − 20mV), ensuring clean switchover without oscillation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.00V to 3.15V (factory preset 3.08V); ensures reliable reset assertion before 3.3V system brownout. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.00–2.25s (typ. 1.6s); detects µP lockup in embedded control loops without excessive false triggers. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150–280ms; guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization after power recovery. |
| Supply Current | 10–50µA (typ. 15µA at 5.5V); enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup applications. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports direct interface with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains. |
| Battery-Backup Current | 3µA max (at VBATT = 2.8V, TA = −40°C to +85°C); minimizes drain on coin-cell batteries. |
| CE Propagation Delay | 2–9ns (50Ω source, 50pF load); preserves timing integrity for high-speed µP address/data gating. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6366HKA31+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, 0.95mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; top view orientation follows JEDEC MO-178.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output | Pulled high externally or to OUT; asserts high during VCC brownout, WDI timeout, or MR low (not applicable here). |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Connected to µP CE line; gates memory access during reset to prevent write corruption. |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, BATT, and digital logic; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 WDI | Watchdog input | Rising/falling edge resets internal timer; idle high/low >1.6s triggers reset pulse. |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | Primary power source (1.2–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and supplies OUT during normal operation. |
| 6 OUT | Output power rail | Sources from VCC (≤150mA) or BATT (≥10mA) depending on switchover state; powers SRAM/RTC. |
| 7 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0–5.5V battery; connects to OUT only when VCC < VTH and VCC < (VBATT − 20mV). |
| 8 CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Passes CE IN signal during normal operation; held low for 12µs if CE IN low at reset assertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Watchdog timer with 1.6s timeout | Enables autonomous detection of firmware hangs in battery-powered controllers without host intervention. |
| 1.5ns CE IN-to-CE OUT propagation delay | Preserves memory access timing margins for 20+ MHz µPs and DSPs without added latency. |
| 10µA quiescent supply current | Extends shelf life and operational runtime in energy-constrained IoT edge nodes and portable meters. |
| VCC/BATT switchover with 40mV hysteresis | Prevents chattering during slow VCC decay, ensuring single, clean transition to backup power. |
| 3.08V precision reset threshold (±1.5%) | Matches 3.3V system tolerance bands, eliminating need for external resistor dividers or calibration. |
| Open-drain active-high RESET output | Allows wired-OR configuration with other supervisors and flexible pull-up to any valid logic rail (VCC or OUT). |
Applications
| POS Terminal Power Management | Industrial PLC Memory Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6366PKA31+T | Same 3.08V threshold and watchdog, but push-pull active-low RESET output instead of open-drain active-high. | Requires external pull-up for high-level signaling; incompatible with wired-OR reset buses or level-shifting interfaces. | Select when interfacing with legacy µPs requiring active-low reset and no shared reset lines. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, no watchdog, 350ms reset timeout, 2.5µA IQ, SOT23-6 package. | Lacks battery switchover, CE gating, and watchdog-suitable only for basic reset-only functions. | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where backup power and memory protection are not required. |
Compared with MAX6366HKA31+T, MAX6366PKA31+T offers identical supervision and timing but differs in reset polarity and drive type, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces functionality to basic voltage monitoring-making it unsuitable for applications needing battery backup or watchdog safety enforcement.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6366HKA31+T?
The MAX6366HKA31+T has a factory-preset reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 3.00V and 3.15V respectively across −40°C to +85°C. This threshold is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external components or calibration.
Does MAX6366HKA31+T support battery-backup operation with lithium coin cells?
Yes, MAX6366HKA31+T supports battery-backup operation with standard 3V lithium coin cells (e.g., CR2032). When VCC drops below 3.08V and falls 20mV below VBATT, the device automatically switches OUT to the battery, drawing only 3µA typical backup current at 2.8V to maximize battery life.
How does the watchdog function work in MAX6366HKA31+T?
The MAX6366HKA31+T watchdog requires periodic edges on the WDI pin; if no rising or falling edge occurs for longer than 1.6s (typ.), it triggers a RESET pulse lasting ≥150ms. The timer resets on every WDI transition, enabling robust detection of software hangs without requiring precise timing windows.
Can MAX6366HKA31+T be used without a backup battery?
Yes, MAX6366HKA31+T operates fully without a backup battery: connect BATT to GND and tie OUT directly to VCC. All supervision, watchdog, and CE gating functions remain active; only battery switchover and backup power delivery are disabled.
What is the purpose of CE IN and CE OUT pins on MAX6366HKA31+T?
The CE IN and CE OUT pins implement hardware write protection: during normal operation, CE IN passes through to CE OUT with 1.5ns delay; when RESET asserts, CE OUT is gated to prevent spurious memory writes during power instability-critical for preserving SRAM and EEPROM data integrity.
