Product details
Overview
The MAX6367LKA44+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with battery-backup control and chip-enable gating, featuring a factory-preset 4.38V reset threshold (min 4.25V, max 4.50V), 150ms minimum reset timeout, active-high BATT ON output, and operation down to 1.2V supply voltage. It monitors VCC for power-up, brownout, and power-down conditions while automatically switching CMOS RAM or real-time clocks to backup battery when main supply fails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6367LKA44+T datasheet, MAX6367LKA44+T pinout, MAX6367LKA44+T application, or MAX6367LKA44+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its BATT ON indicator function, SOT23-8 package compatibility, guaranteed RESET/RESET validity down to 1.2V, and precise 4.38V reset threshold for +5V system monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX6367LKA44+T implements a dedicated battery-on status indicator via a push-pull BATT ON output that drives high exclusively during battery-backup mode-triggered only when VCC falls below the 4.38V threshold *and* VBATT exceeds VCC by ≥20mV. Its internal MOSFET-based VCC/BATT switchover path delivers up to 150mA from VCC and maintains data retention in SRAM during main supply failure.
Chip-enable gating operates through a series transmission gate between CE IN and CE OUT, with 1.5ns propagation delay (typical) and 20Ω–100Ω on-resistance, disabling CE signal pass-through during reset assertion to prevent memory corruption. The device guarantees reset assertion down to 1.2V VCC or VBATT and exhibits 150ms minimum reset timeout with ±10% variation over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V (typ), 4.25V–4.50V range - precisely targets +5V rail monitoring with margin for tolerance and drift |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms min - ensures µP completes full power-up initialization before release |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports ultra-low-voltage operation and legacy 5V systems |
| BATT ON Output Type | Push-pull active-high - provides direct logic-level indication of battery-backup mode without external pull-up |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 10µA (typ) - enables multi-year battery life in portable backup applications |
| VCC-to-OUT On-Resistance | 4.6Ω (typ at 2.38V, 25mA) - minimizes voltage drop and power loss during main-supply operation |
| Battery-Backup Current | 3µA (max at -40°C to +85°C) - preserves backup battery charge during extended outages |
Pinout & Package
MAX6367LKA44+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained embedded systems requiring reliable power supervision and battery switchover.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output | Asserts high continuously during VCC undervoltage, manual reset, or watchdog timeout; requires external pull-down for logic-low default state |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Controls gating path to CE OUT; tied to GND or OUT if unused to disable CE pass-through |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and output sinks |
| 4 BATT ON | Battery-on status indicator | Push-pull output driven high only when VCC < VTH and VBATT > VCC + 20mV - unambiguous backup-mode flag |
| 5 RESET IN | Not connected / No function | Unused pin for MAX6367 variant - electrically isolated per functional diagram and pin description |
| 6 VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and sources OUT until switchover condition is met |
| 7 OUT | Regulated output | Sources from VCC normally; switches to VBATT during backup mode - powers SRAM or RTC directly |
| 8 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–5.5V; activates switchover when VBATT > VCC + 20mV and VCC < VTH |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery-On Output Indicator | Dedicated push-pull BATT ON pin signals backup mode with no external components - eliminates need for discrete comparator or LED driver |
| On-Board Chip-Enable Gating | 1.5ns propagation delay and 20Ω–100Ω on-resistance enable safe, high-speed CE signal blocking during reset - prevents memory write errors in µP systems |
| Precision Reset Threshold | Factory-trimmed 4.38V (±0.13V) threshold ensures accurate +5V rail monitoring without external resistor networks |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 10µA typical ICC and 3µA max IBACK extend backup battery life to years in infrequently powered systems |
| Guaranteed 1.2V Operation | RESET/RESET and BATT ON remain functional down to 1.2V VCC or VBATT - supports deep brownout detection and low-voltage backup |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6367LKA46+T | Higher reset threshold (4.63V typ, 4.50V–4.75V range) | Better suited for +5V systems with tighter tolerance requirements or higher noise margins | Select when VCC nominal is 5.0V ±2% and brownout immunity must exceed 4.5V |
| MAX6367PKA44+T | Same reset threshold (4.38V) but push-pull active-low RESET output instead of open-drain active-high | Requires different µP reset input polarity and lacks BATT ON functionality | Choose only if target µP requires active-low reset and battery-status indication is handled externally |
Compared with MAX6367LKA44+T, MAX6367LKA46+T offers higher reset threshold for enhanced noise immunity on noisy 5V rails, while MAX6367PKA44+T sacrifices BATT ON functionality and reset polarity compatibility to meet legacy active-low µP interface requirements.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BATT ON pin on the MAX6367LKA44+T?
The BATT ON pin on the MAX6367LKA44+T is a push-pull active-high output that asserts high *only* when the device enters battery-backup mode - defined as VCC falling below the 4.38V reset threshold *and* VBATT exceeding VCC by at least 20mV. This provides unambiguous, logic-level status indication without external components. The MAX6367LKA44+T uses this pin to eliminate ambiguity in backup activation timing, supporting fail-safe system diagnostics in medical and industrial equipment.
Does the MAX6367LKA44+T support operation with a 3.3V main supply?
Yes, the MAX6367LKA44+T supports VCC supplies from 1.2V to 5.5V, including 3.3V systems. However, its factory-preset 4.38V reset threshold is optimized for +5V rails; using it with 3.3V VCC will cause continuous reset assertion since VCC remains below threshold. For 3.3V systems, select a variant with lower threshold (e.g., MAX6367LKA31, 3.08V typ). The MAX6367LKA44+T is specifically intended for 5V applications where precise brownout detection at 4.38V is required.
How does the chip-enable gating feature of the MAX6367LKA44+T protect memory during power failure?
The MAX6367LKA44+T gates the CE signal path between CE IN and CE OUT using a low-on-resistance transmission gate (20Ω–100Ω) that disables during reset assertion. When VCC drops below 4.38V, reset activates and blocks CE transitions, preventing spurious writes to SRAM or RTC during unstable power. The 1.5ns propagation delay ensures compatibility with high-speed µPs. This function is fully implemented in the MAX6367LKA44+T and requires no external logic - critical for preserving data integrity in POS and medical devices.
What is the guaranteed minimum reset timeout period for the MAX6367LKA44+T?
The MAX6367LKA44+T guarantees a minimum reset timeout period of 150ms after VCC rises above the 4.38V threshold, with typical value of 280ms and maximum of 400ms over temperature. This ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization sequences, especially in systems with slow-ramping power supplies or complex boot firmware. The 150ms minimum is production-tested and applies across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range - a key reliability parameter confirmed in the MAX6367LKA44+T datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the MAX6367LKA44+T operate without a backup battery connected?
Yes, the MAX6367LKA44+T can operate without a backup battery: connect the BATT pin to GND and tie OUT directly to VCC. In this configuration, the device functions solely as a reset supervisor with BATT ON permanently low (since battery-backup mode cannot activate), while retaining all VCC monitoring, reset generation, and CE gating capabilities. This mode is explicitly supported in the MAX6367LKA44+T datasheet's "Operation Without a Backup Power Source" section and maintains full 1.2V operational capability.
