Product details
Overview
MAX6367PKA31-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with battery-backup control and chip-enable gating, featuring a factory-preset 3.08V reset threshold, active-high BATT ON output, open-drain active-low RESET, and operation down to 1.2V supply voltage. It monitors VCC for power-up/down/brownout, switches CMOS RAM to backup battery when VCC fails, gates CE signals to prevent memory corruption, and indicates battery mode via BATT ON - used in portable POS terminals and industrial controllers requiring reliable nonvolatile memory retention.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6367PKA31-T datasheet, MAX6367PKA31-T pinout, MAX6367PKA31-T application, or MAX6367PKA31-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.08V reset threshold tolerance (±0.07V), 150ms minimum reset timeout, 10µA quiescent current, BATT ON push-pull output capability, and SOT23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6367PKA31-T implements a precision voltage monitor with internal 3.08V reset threshold (±0.07V over temperature), a dedicated BATT ON push-pull output that asserts high only during battery-backup mode, and a VCC-to-BATT switchover circuit with 40mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation during slow VCC decay. Its chip-enable gating uses a transmission gate with 1.5ns propagation delay and 20–100Ω on-resistance, enabling direct interface with high-speed µP address decoders.
It operates across -40°C to +85°C with guaranteed RESET/RESET validity down to 1.2V (VCC or VBATT), supports 5.5V absolute max VCC/BATT, and delivers up to 150mA from VCC or 20mA from battery via OUT while maintaining <1µA battery standby current when VCC > VBATT + 0.2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (min 3.00V, max 3.15V) - ensures reliable reset assertion before 3.3V system brownout. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms min - guarantees µP initialization completes before release from reset. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 10µA typical at VCC = 5.5V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup applications. |
| BATT ON Output Type | Push-pull active-high - drives LEDs or external pass transistors without pull-up resistors. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, coin-cell, and standard logic rails. |
| Package | 8-pin SOT23 - 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint for ultra-compact PCB layouts. |
| CE IN to CE OUT Delay | 1.5ns - preserves timing integrity for µP address/data strobes up to 100MHz. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6367PKA31-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm, 0.95mm height) with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant and available in tape-and-reel (2500 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserts low during VCC brownout, manual reset, or watchdog timeout; requires external pull-up for system reset line. |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Controls gating of CE signal to SRAM; low disables write access during power fault. |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for VCC, BATT, and all internal circuits; must be low-impedance. |
| 4 BATT ON | Battery-on status indicator | Push-pull high-output during battery-backup mode; sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V saturation. |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | Powers device and supplies OUT during normal operation; monitored for reset condition. |
| 6 OUT | Power output to SRAM | Sources from VCC (≤150mA) or BATT (≤20mA); auto-switches based on VCC/VBATT comparison. |
| 7 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–5.5V; activates OUT sourcing when VCC falls below VTH and VBATT > VCC + 20mV. |
| 8 CE OUT | Gated chip-enable output | Passes CE IN when reset inactive; held low for 12µs after reset assertion to complete memory access. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery-on output | Push-pull BATT ON provides immediate visual or logic-level indication of backup mode without external components. |
| Chip-enable gating | 1.5ns propagation delay and <100Ω on-resistance enable direct connection to high-speed µP address buses. |
| Low-voltage operation | 1.2V minimum VCC/VBATT support allows use with single-cell LiFePO₄ or NiMH batteries. |
| Reset threshold accuracy | ±2.3% over temperature (3.00V–3.15V at 3.08V nominal) ensures predictable brownout response in 3.3V systems. |
| Transient immunity | Withstands 100mV VCC glitches up to 30µs duration without false reset - reduces need for excessive input filtering. |
Applications
| Portable POS Terminals | Industrial PLC Controllers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-backed SRAM retains transaction logs and configuration data during AC power loss or battery swap in handheld payment devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6367PKA31-T monitors 3.3V rail, switches SRAM to coin-cell backup, gates CE to freeze writes, and asserts BATT ON to trigger firmware save routines.

Use Value: Guarantees 150ms reset hold time for deterministic µP restart; BATT ON output drives optocoupler to isolate backup status from noisy 24V DC field bus. |
| Set-Top Box Memory Backup | Fax Machine Real-Time Clock Hold |
Use Scenario: Consumer STBs preserve channel lineup, parental controls, and EPG data across unplanned outages using onboard SRAM.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6367HKA31-T | Same 3.08V reset threshold and BATT ON function, but push-pull active-high RESET output instead of open-drain. | Requires no external pull-up on RESET line; better suited for driving multiple loads or interfacing with µPs lacking internal pull-ups. | Select when system RESET net has high capacitive load or when active-high reset polarity is required by µP. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold (fixed), 350ms timeout, 2.5µA IQ, no BATT ON or CE gating - only basic reset supervision. | Lacks battery switchover, CE gating, and BATT ON indicator; suitable only for simple reset-only applications. | Select only if battery backup and memory protection are unnecessary and lower quiescent current is critical. |
Compared with MAX6367PKA31-T, MAX6367HKA31-T offers identical supervision and battery functions but simplifies RESET interface with push-pull drive, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces cost and IQ but removes all backup-control features - making it unsuitable for SRAM-retention designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6367PKA31-T?
The MAX6367PKA31-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed limits of 3.00V (minimum) and 3.15V (maximum) across -40°C to +85°C. This value is confirmed in the Reset Threshold Ranges table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet, and applies specifically to the "KA31" suffix variant of the MAX6367 series.
Does the MAX6367PKA31-T provide battery backup switching functionality?
Yes, the MAX6367PKA31-T provides automatic VCC-to-BATT switchover when VCC falls below the 3.08V reset threshold and VBATT exceeds VCC by at least 20mV. During this mode, OUT is sourced from the battery, and the BATT ON output asserts high to indicate backup activation - a core function documented in the General Description and Detailed Description sections.
What is the purpose of the BATT ON pin on the MAX6367PKA31-T?
The BATT ON pin on the MAX6367PKA31-T is a push-pull active-high output that asserts high exclusively during battery-backup mode. It sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V saturation and can directly drive LEDs, optocouplers, or base/gate inputs of external pass transistors - eliminating need for external logic or level-shifting components per the Applications Information section.
Can the MAX6367PKA31-T be used without a backup battery?
Yes, the MAX6367PKA31-T operates without a backup battery: connect BATT to GND and tie OUT to VCC. In this configuration, it retains full reset supervision, CE gating, and BATT ON functionality (though BATT ON remains low). This usage is explicitly supported in the Applications Information section under "Operation Without a Backup Power Source."
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6367PKA31-T use?
The MAX6367PKA31-T uses an 8-pin SOT23 package measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS compliance. This is confirmed in the Pin Configurations diagram, Ordering Information table, and Absolute Maximum Ratings section - and is consistent across all MAX6365–MAX6368 variants.
