Product details
Overview
The MAX6366LKA31+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with integrated watchdog timer, battery-backup switchover, and chip-enable gating. It monitors VCC (1.2V–5.5V), asserts active-high open-drain RESET on power-up/brownout/watchdog timeout, features 3.08V factory-set reset threshold, 1.6s watchdog timeout, and 150ms minimum reset timeout period. It is used in portable equipment requiring reliable power monitoring and data retention during main supply failure.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6366LKA31+T datasheet, MAX6366LKA31+T pinout, MAX6366LKA31+T application, or MAX6366LKA31+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (3.00–3.15V), watchdog timeout tolerance (1.00–2.25s), battery-switchover hysteresis (±20mV), CE IN to CE OUT propagation delay (2–9ns), and guaranteed RESET/RESET operation down to 1.2V supply.
Technical Context
The MAX6366LKA31+T implements a precision voltage monitor with internal 3.08V reset threshold (±0.07V over temperature), a monostable watchdog timer triggered by WDI edge transitions, and bidirectional battery switchover controlled by VCC–VBATT differential sensing. Its chip-enable gating uses a transmission gate with 20–100Ω on-resistance and 1.5ns typical propagation delay.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C, draws only 10µA quiescent current under normal conditions and 3µA in battery-backup mode, and guarantees RESET assertion during VCC drop below threshold, WDI timeout, or manual reset (not applicable - this is MAX6366, not MAX6365), with 150ms minimum reset timeout and 20µs VCC-falling reset delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (min 3.00V, max 3.15V); ensures reliable reset assertion for +3.3V systems with margin against ripple and drift |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (min 1.00s, max 2.25s); provides sufficient time for firmware recovery while preventing indefinite lockup |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms (min), 280ms (max); guarantees µP initialization completes before release from reset |
| Supply Current | 15µA (typ) at VCC = 5.5V; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed memory retention |
| Battery-Backup Current | 3µA (max) at VBATT = 2.8V, VCC = 0V; minimizes backup battery drain during extended outages |
| VCC-to-OUT On-Resistance | 4.6Ω (typ) at VCC = 2.38V, IOUT = 25mA; supports up to 150mA output from main supply with low dropout |
| CE IN to CE OUT Delay | 2–9ns (50Ω source, 50pF load); preserves timing integrity for high-speed µP address/data bus gating |
Pinout & Package
MAX6366LKA31+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), surface-mount, lead(Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output | Asserts high during VCC brownout, watchdog timeout, or power-up; requires external pull-down for logic-low default state |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Controls gating of CE signal to SRAM; low disables write access during reset or fault |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC, BATT, and all internal circuits; must be low-impedance |
| 4 WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive trigger (rising/falling ≥100ns); resets internal timer on each transition; floating = timeout |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers device and supplies OUT during normal operation |
| 6 OUT | Power output | Sources from VCC when active; switches to BATT during brownout; delivers up to 150mA |
| 7 BATT | Backup battery input | Connects to 2.0–5.5V backup source; activates switchover when VCC < VBATT − 20mV |
| 8 CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Passes CE IN when reset inactive; held low for 12µs after reset assertion if CE IN was low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Watchdog timer | 1.6s timeout with edge-triggered reset - prevents firmware hang without software polling overhead |
| Battery switchover hysteresis | ±20mV VCC–VBATT differential - eliminates oscillation during slow VCC decay near threshold |
| Chip-enable gating | 1.5ns propagation delay and 20–100Ω on-resistance - compatible with fast µP buses without timing violation |
| Low-voltage operation | 1.2V minimum VCC/VBATT - supports single-cell Li-ion and coin-cell backup systems |
| Reset output compatibility | Open-drain active-high RESET - enables wired-OR configuration and level-shifting with external pull-down |

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 reset threshold (3.08V) and watchdog (1.6s), but push-pull active-low RESET output instead of open-drain active-high | Requires redesign of reset net termination; incompatible with wired-OR or level-shifted reset buses | Select when system needs active-low reset with direct drive capability and no external pull-down |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold (not 3.08V), 200ms reset timeout, no watchdog timer, no battery switchover or CE gating | Lacks battery backup, memory write protection, and watchdog - suitable only for basic power monitoring | Choose only if application requires simple reset generation without supervision, backup, or memory protection |
Compared with MAX6366PKA31+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6366LKA31+T uniquely integrates watchdog, battery switchover, and CE gating in one 8-pin SOT23 - eliminating three discrete functions and reducing PCB area by >60% versus discrete solutions.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6366LKA31+T?
The MAX6366LKA31+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed minimum of 3.00V and maximum of 3.15V over –40°C to +85°C. This value is confirmed in the Reset Threshold Ranges table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet. The "31" suffix in MAX6366LKA31+T explicitly denotes the 3.08V threshold variant. The MAX6366LKA31+T does not require external resistor programming for this threshold.
Does the MAX6366LKA31+T support battery backup functionality?
Yes, the MAX6366LKA31+T fully supports battery backup. When VCC falls below the reset threshold and also drops at least 20mV below VBATT, the internal MOSFET switches OUT from VCC to BATT. In backup mode, it delivers up to 20mA from the battery with only 3µA quiescent draw (VBATT = 2.8V, VCC = 0V). The MAX6366LKA31+T includes dedicated BATT and OUT pins and automatic switchover hysteresis to prevent oscillation.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of the MAX6366LKA31+T?
The MAX6366LKA31+T features a 1.6s nominal watchdog timeout (1.00–2.25s range), triggered when the WDI pin remains static (high or low) beyond that period. Each rising or falling edge on WDI resets the timer. Upon timeout, it asserts a pulse on the open-drain active-high RESET output for the full reset timeout period (150–280ms). The MAX6366LKA31+T does not require external RC timing components - the watchdog is fully internal and factory-calibrated.
Can the MAX6366LKA31+T be used without a backup battery?
Yes, the MAX6366LKA31+T operates correctly without a backup battery. Per the Applications Information section, connect BATT to GND and tie OUT directly to VCC. All supervision functions - including reset generation, watchdog monitoring, and CE gating - remain fully functional. The MAX6366LKA31+T draws only 10µA from VCC in this configuration and maintains guaranteed RESET assertion down to 1.2V VCC.
What package type and pin compatibility does the MAX6366LKA31+T have?
The MAX6366LKA31+T uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm) with standard pinout per Maxim's Pin Configurations diagram. It shares identical footprint and pin mapping with all MAX6365–MAX6368 variants in LKA, PKA, and HKA suffixes - enabling drop-in replacement across reset threshold, output type, and feature variants (e.g., MAX6366PKA31+T differs only in RESET output structure). The "+T" denotes lead(Pb)-free tape-and-reel packaging.
