Product details
Overview
MAX6367PKA31 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with battery-backup switchover, chip-enable gating, and BATT ON indicator output. It monitors VCC supply (1.2V–5.5V), asserts reset when VCC falls below 3.08V (typ), provides 150ms minimum reset timeout, and switches OUT to backup battery when VCC drops below VBATT by >20mV. It is used in portable equipment requiring nonvolatile memory retention during power failure.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6367PKA31 datasheet, MAX6367PKA31 pinout, MAX6367PKA31 application, or MAX6367PKA31 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.08V factory-set reset threshold, active-high push-pull BATT ON output, 8-pin SOT23 package, 10µA quiescent current, and guaranteed reset assertion down to 1.2V VCC or VBATT.
Technical Context
The MAX6367PKA31 integrates a precision voltage monitor, battery switchover MOSFET control, and dedicated BATT ON status output. Its internal comparator compares VCC against a trimmed 3.08V threshold (±1.5% over temperature), and its BATT ON output drives high only when VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT – confirming true battery-backup mode.
It features a 1.5ns CE IN-to-CE OUT propagation delay for real-time chip-enable gating, on-resistance of 4.6Ω (VCC=2.38V, IOUT=25mA) for low-loss battery switching, and 150ms min reset timeout with immunity to short VCC transients (e.g., 30µs at 100mV overdrive).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.00V to 3.15V (min/typ/max); ensures reliable reset assertion for 3.3V systems experiencing brownout |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V (VCC or VBATT); supports operation from single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell backup sources |
| Quiescent Current | 10µA typ (VCC > VTH); enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup applications |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms min; guarantees µP initialization completes before release from reset |
| BATT ON Output Type | Push-pull active-high; sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V saturation, eliminating need for external pull-up |
| VCC-to-OUT On-Resistance | 4.6Ω max (VCC=2.38V, IOUT=25mA); limits voltage drop and power loss during main-supply operation |
| CE IN-to-CE OUT Delay | 1.5ns typ; preserves timing integrity for high-speed µP address/data bus gating |
Pinout & Package
MAX6367PKA31 is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. Pin numbering follows standard SOT23 top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output | Asserts high during VCC brownout, manual reset, or watchdog timeout; requires external pull-down for logic-low default |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Directly gates CE signal to SRAM; low disables write path during reset to prevent data corruption |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog/digital functions; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 BATT ON | Battery-backup status indicator | Drives high only when device is actively sourcing from battery; used for LED indication or external pass transistor enable |
| 5 RESET IN | Not connected / no function | This pin is unused in MAX6367 variant; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice |
| 6 VCC | Main supply input | Primary power source (1.2V–5.5V); reset asserts when voltage falls below 3.08V threshold |
| 7 OUT | Regulated output | Supplies CMOS RAM from VCC normally; switches to VBATT during brownout with 40mV hysteresis to prevent chatter |
| 8 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–5.5V backup source; internal MOSFET connects it to OUT only when VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery-On output | Dedicated push-pull BATT ON signal confirms active battery-backup mode without software polling |
| Chip-enable gating | 1.5ns propagation delay and 20Ω on-resistance ensure glitch-free CE signal blocking during reset |
| Precision reset threshold | 3.08V ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration |
| Low-voltage operation | Guaranteed reset assertion down to 1.2V VCC or VBATT enables use with single-cell LiFePO₄ or NiMH batteries |
| Transient immunity | Withstands 30µs VCC glitches 100mV below threshold, reducing false resets in noisy industrial environments |
Applications
| Portable Medical Monitors | Industrial Data Loggers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6367HKA31 | Same reset threshold (3.08V) and BATT ON function, but offers active-low push-pull RESET output instead of open-drain | Suitable where µP requires active-low reset with drive strength >1mA, not compatible with open-drain wired-OR bus configurations | Select MAX6367HKA31 if system reset net uses push-pull drivers and requires guaranteed low-impedance reset deassertion |
| MAX6366PKA31 | Replaces BATT ON with watchdog timer (1.6s timeout); identical reset threshold, package, and supply specs | Used where software execution monitoring is prioritized over battery-status indication, e.g., embedded controllers with critical task scheduling | Choose MAX6366PKA31 when watchdog supervision is mandatory and BATT ON signal is unnecessary or implemented elsewhere |
Compared with MAX6367PKA31, MAX6367HKA31 provides stronger reset drive but loses open-drain flexibility, while MAX6366PKA31 trades BATT ON for watchdog functionality-neither is pin-compatible, and both require PCB layout revision due to differing RESET output structures.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6367PKA31?
The MAX6367PKA31 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.00V (min), 3.08V (typ), and 3.15V (max) over -40°C to +85°C. This 3.08V nominal value is specifically selected for reliable supervision of 3.3V power rails during brownout conditions, with ±1.5% tolerance ensuring consistent behavior across temperature and unit variance.
Does MAX6367PKA31 support battery backup for both VCC and VBATT voltages below 2.0V?
No. MAX6367PKA31 guarantees operation down to 1.2V on either VCC or VBATT, but battery backup activation requires VBATT > VCC + 20mV and VCC < 3.08V. While VBATT can be as low as 2.0V per Absolute Maximum Ratings, successful switchover depends on sufficient headroom between VBATT and VCC - a 2.0V battery cannot back up a 1.95V VCC rail.
How does the BATT ON output behave during power-up and brownout transitions?
The BATT ON output of MAX6367PKA31 remains low during normal VCC operation and asserts high only when both conditions are met: VCC falls below 3.08V *and* VCC drops below VBATT by >20mV. It stays high throughout battery-backup mode and returns low within 12µs after VCC rises above VBATT + 20mV and exceeds 3.08V.
Can CE IN and CE OUT of MAX6367PKA31 interface directly with 1.8V logic systems?
Yes. MAX6367PKA31's CE IN accepts logic thresholds referenced to VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC), and CE OUT drives to VCC or VBATT levels. When VCC = 1.8V, CE IN recognizes >1.26V as high and <0.54V as low, and CE OUT delivers valid 1.8V-level signals - enabling direct connection to 1.8V µPs without level-shifting.
Is the 150ms reset timeout period of MAX6367PKA31 adjustable or fixed?
The 150ms minimum reset timeout period (tRP) of MAX6367PKA31 is fixed and unadjustable. It is internally generated and guaranteed over temperature and supply voltage. The actual timeout is typically 200–280ms, but design must rely on the 150ms minimum to ensure µP initialization completes before reset release.
