Product details
Overview
MAX6366PKA31+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-low open-drain RESET on power-up/down/brownout or watchdog timeout, provides 3.08V reset threshold (±0.07V), delivers 150ms minimum reset timeout, and supports CMOS RAM backup via OUT switching between VCC and BATT. Used in portable POS terminals and industrial controllers requiring reliable brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6366PKA31+T datasheet, MAX6366PKA31+T pinout, MAX6366PKA31+T application, or MAX6366PKA31+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.6s watchdog timeout, 3.08V factory-trimmed reset threshold, 10µA quiescent current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and SOT23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained µP systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6366PKA31+T integrates a precision voltage monitor, 1.6s watchdog timer with edge-triggered WDI input, bidirectional VCC/BATT switchover logic with 40mV hysteresis, and CE IN-to-CE OUT transmission gate with 1.5ns propagation delay. Its internal 1.235V reference enables accurate threshold generation, and the open-drain RESET output operates down to 1.2V supply.
Reset assertion occurs on VCC falling below 3.08V, manual MR assertion (not applicable-this is MAX6366, not MAX6365), or WDI timeout; reset remains asserted for ≥150ms after VCC rises above threshold or WDI edge detection clears the timer. Battery switchover activates only when VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT −20mV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (factory-trimmed, ±0.07V over -40°C to +85°C) - ensures reliable detection of 3.3V supply brownout before system instability. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (typical, 1.0–2.25s over temp) - provides sufficient margin for firmware execution loops without false triggers. |
| Quiescent Current | 10µA (max at +25°C, VCC = 5.5V) - enables multi-year operation in battery-backed SRAM retention. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms (min) - guarantees µP reset hold time exceeds typical processor power-up stabilization requirements. |
| Supply Range | 1.2V to 5.5V (VCC or VBATT) - supports direct interface with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V logic and backup cells. |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET - allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting across mixed-voltage domains. |
| Battery Switchover | VCC-to-BATT transition at VCC < VBATT −20mV - prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay with 40mV hysteresis. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6366PKA31+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-low open-drain reset output | Asserts low during VCC brownout, watchdog timeout, or power failure; requires external pull-up for logic-level compatibility. |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Directly gates CE signal to SRAM; held low during reset to prevent write corruption; internal 20kΩ pullup if unused. |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input (rising/falling/100ns pulse); resets internal timer on each transition; no internal pullup/pulldown. |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and sources OUT during normal operation; monitored for reset generation. |
| 6 OUT | Switched output | Sources from VCC when active; switches to BATT during backup mode; drives SRAM VDD with up to 150mA (VCC) or 20mA (BATT). |
| 7 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–5.5V; supplies OUT when VCC fails; draws ≤1µA standby current (VBATT = 2.8V, VCC = 0V). |
| 8 CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Gated version of CE IN; goes high only when CE IN is high and reset is deasserted; 1.5ns propagation delay enables use with fast µPs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated watchdog timer | 1.6s timeout with edge-triggered WDI input - eliminates need for external timing components and reduces firmware complexity. |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.08V ±0.07V - eliminates external resistor divider calibration and improves system-level voltage monitoring accuracy. |
| Chip-enable gating with 1.5ns delay | Prevents SRAM write corruption during power transitions by disabling CE path within 1.5ns of reset assertion. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 10µA max - extends battery life in always-on backup applications such as real-time clocks and configuration memory. |
| VCC/BATT switchover with hysteresis | 40mV hysteresis prevents chattering during slow VCC decay - ensures clean, single-event transition to backup power. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6366HKA31+T | Same 3.08V reset threshold and watchdog, but push-pull active-high RESET output instead of open-drain active-low. | Requires redesign of reset net pull-up/pull-down and may conflict with existing µP reset polarity requirements. | Select only if system requires active-high reset signaling and no wired-OR capability is needed. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no watchdog or battery switchover; 2.5µA IQ; SOT23-6 package. | Lacks battery backup, CE gating, and watchdog - suitable only for basic reset-only applications without data retention needs. | Choose when cost and footprint are prioritized over multifunction integration and backup capability. |
Compared with MAX6366PKA31+T, MAX6366HKA31+T offers identical supervision functionality but incompatible reset polarity and drive strength, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature set to basic reset generation-making it unsuitable for battery-backed or watchdog-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6366PKA31+T?
The MAX6366PKA31+T features a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed limits of 3.00V (min) and 3.15V (max) across the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external resistors or calibration. The threshold applies to VCC monitoring only and is independent of battery voltage or watchdog operation.
Does MAX6366PKA31+T support battery backup functionality?
Yes, MAX6366PKA31+T fully supports battery backup: when VCC falls below both the 3.08V reset threshold and VBATT −20mV, the internal MOSFET automatically switches OUT from VCC to BATT. In this mode, it supplies up to 20mA from the battery while drawing only ≤1µA quiescent current (VBATT = 2.8V, VCC = 0V), enabling multi-year SRAM retention.
What is the watchdog timeout period for MAX6366PKA31+T?
The MAX6366PKA31+T watchdog timeout period is 1.6s typical, with a guaranteed range of 1.00s to 2.25s over temperature. It is triggered when the WDI input remains static (high or low) beyond this interval. Each rising or falling edge on WDI resets the timer, and reset pulses last for the full 150ms minimum timeout period.
What package type and pin count does MAX6366PKA31+T use?
MAX6366PKA31+T uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant and lead(Pb)-free. Pinout is standardized across the MAX6365–MAX6368 family: pins 1–8 correspond to RESET, CE IN, GND, WDI, VCC, OUT, BATT, and CE OUT respectively - verified per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram for MAX6366.
Can MAX6366PKA31+T drive a 3.3V microprocessor reset input directly?
Yes, MAX6366PKA31+T can drive a 3.3V µP reset input, but requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to 3.3V) since its RESET output is open-drain active-low. When asserted, RESET sinks ≥1.6mA at 0.3V (VCC > 2.1V); when deasserted, it presents high impedance, allowing the pull-up to establish valid logic-high levels compatible with standard 3.3V CMOS inputs.
