Product details
Overview
MAX6367LKA23 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with battery-backup control, chip-enable gating, and BATT ON indicator output. It monitors VCC supply (1.2V–5.5V), asserts reset when VCC falls below 2.32V, switches OUT to backup battery during brownout, and drives BATT ON high in battery mode. Used in portable equipment, POS terminals, and industrial controllers requiring reliable power-fail response.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6367LKA23 datasheet, MAX6367LKA23 pinout, MAX6367LKA23 application, or MAX6367LKA23 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact reset threshold (2.32V), BATT ON behavior, SOT23-8 package mapping, and two confirmed alternative parts for battery-backed µP supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6367LKA23 integrates a precision voltage monitor, bidirectional VCC/BATT switchover MOSFET, active-high push-pull BATT ON output, and CE signal gating logic. Its reset generator guarantees RESET assertion down to 1.2V VCC or VBATT and enforces a minimum 150ms timeout after VCC recovery.
Unlike MAX6365/66/68 variants, MAX6367LKA23 provides dedicated BATT ON status indication-not manual reset, watchdog, or auxiliary reset input-and uses open-drain active-low RESET output with 0.3V VOL at 1.6mA sink current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.32V (min), 2.38V (max); ensures reliable detection of +2.5V supply brownout before system failure |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports operation directly from single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell batteries |
| Quiescent Current | 10µA typical; enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup applications |
| BATT ON Output | Push-pull high-state indicator; sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V saturation, signals active battery mode without external pull-up |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms minimum; guarantees µP initialization completes before release from reset |
| VCC-to-OUT On-Resistance | 4.6Ω at 2.38V VCC, 25mA load; minimizes voltage drop during main-supply operation |
| Battery-Switchover Threshold | VCC − VBATT ≤ −20mV; prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay with 40mV hysteresis |
Pinout & Package
MAX6367LKA23 is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, with gull-wing leads and thermal pad not connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserts low during VCC undervoltage, brownout, or power-down; requires external pull-up for logic-level compatibility |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Directly gates CE signal to SRAM; disabled during reset to prevent write corruption |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, BATT, and signal paths; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 4 BATT ON | Battery-on status indicator | Push-pull output driven high only when OUT is sourced from BATT; no external components needed |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | Primary power source (1.2V–5.5V); monitored for reset generation and switchover control |
| 6 OUT | Regulated output | Supplies up to 150mA to SRAM; auto-switches between VCC and BATT based on voltage comparison |
| 7 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–5.5V; powers OUT when VCC drops below threshold and VBATT > VCC + 20mV |
| 8 CE OUT | Chip-enable output | Gated version of CE IN; held low for 12µs after reset assertion to complete ongoing memory access |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery-On Output Indicator | Dedicated push-pull BATT ON pin confirms battery-backup mode without software polling or external logic |
| On-Board Chip-Enable Gating | 1.5ns propagation delay prevents SRAM write corruption during power failure by disabling CE path within reset window |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 10µA typical ICC enables >10-year shelf life in battery-backed real-time clock or metering applications |
| VCC/BATT Switchover Control | Internal MOSFET with 4.6Ω on-resistance at 2.38V ensures <100mV dropout during VCC-to-BATT transition |
| Reset Valid Down to 1.2V | Guaranteed RESET assertion even when VCC or VBATT sags to 1.2V-critical for low-voltage LiFePO₄ or supercapacitor backup |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6367PKA23 | Same reset threshold (2.32V), identical BATT ON function, but uses open-drain active-high RESET output instead of open-drain active-low | Requires external pull-down for active-low logic systems; incompatible with existing RESET pull-up designs | Select when interfacing with µPs that require active-high reset assertion and tolerate higher VOL under load |
| MAX6367HKA23 | Same reset threshold and BATT ON, but features push-pull active-low RESET output with 0.3V VOL at 1.6mA | Eliminates external pull-up resistor; suitable for space-constrained layouts where board area is premium | Choose when reducing component count and simplifying layout outweighs minor quiescent current increase (15µA vs. 10µA) |
Compared with MAX6367PKA23 and MAX6367HKA23, MAX6367LKA23 offers lowest quiescent current and standard open-drain active-low RESET compatibility with legacy µP designs, making it optimal for battery longevity and drop-in replacement in existing SOT23-8 footprints.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage range for MAX6367LKA23?
The MAX6367LKA23 has a factory-preset reset threshold of 2.25V (min), 2.32V (typ), and 2.38V (max) over temperature. This range ensures robust detection of +2.5V supply faults while rejecting noise-induced false triggers, and is validated per Maxim's Electrical Characteristics table for the LKA23 suffix.
Does MAX6367LKA23 provide manual reset or watchdog functionality?
No. MAX6367LKA23 does not include manual reset (MR), watchdog timer (WDI), or auxiliary reset input (RESET IN). It is specifically the BATT ON variant of the MAX6365–MAX6368 family. Only the MAX6365, MAX6366, and MAX6368 variants offer those functions.
How does the BATT ON output behave in MAX6367LKA23?
The BATT ON output of MAX6367LKA23 is a push-pull driver that goes high only when the device is in battery-backup mode-i.e., when VCC falls below the reset threshold and VBATT exceeds VCC by at least 20mV. It sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V saturation and requires no external pull-up or pull-down.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6367LKA23 use?
MAX6367LKA23 uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm with gull-wing leads. Pinout matches the standard MAX636x SOT23 footprint, enabling direct PCB footprint reuse across the family.
Can MAX6367LKA23 operate with a 1.2V supply voltage?
Yes. MAX6367LKA23 operates from VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees RESET assertion and BATT ON functionality down to 1.2V on either VCC or VBATT. This enables direct use with single-cell LiFePO₄ or NiMH batteries without regulation.
