Product details
Overview
The MAX6367PKA44+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with battery-backup control, chip-enable gating, and a dedicated BATT ON output indicator. It monitors VCC supply voltage (reset threshold = 4.38V), provides automatic VCC-to-battery switchover during brownout, gates CE signals with 1.5ns propagation delay, and asserts active-high reset. It is used in portable equipment requiring reliable memory retention during power failure.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6367PKA44+ datasheet, MAX6367PKA44+ pinout, MAX6367PKA44+ application, or MAX6367PKA44+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.38V factory-set reset threshold, BATT ON push-pull output behavior, 150ms minimum reset timeout, 10µA quiescent current, and SOT23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained µP systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6367PKA44+ integrates a precision voltage monitor, bidirectional VCC/BATT power-path switch, and a dedicated push-pull BATT ON output that drives high exclusively in battery-backup mode. Its internal transmission gate enables CE IN to CE OUT signal pass-through only when reset is deasserted, with 12µs hold time if CE IN is low at reset assertion.
It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V on VCC or VBATT, guarantees RESET/RESET validity down to 1.2V, and features 40mV hysteresis on the VCC–VBATT switchover threshold to prevent oscillation during slow VCC decay. The BATT ON output sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V saturation and sources ~10µA from OUT in backup mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V (factory preset, ±0.13V tolerance); ensures reliable reset initiation for +5V systems operating near nominal rail. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms min; guarantees µP initialization completes before release from reset after VCC recovery. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 10µA (typ) at VCC = 5.5V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup applications. |
| BATT ON Output Type | Push-pull active-high; directly drives LEDs or base of external PNP pass transistor without pull-up resistor. |
| VCC-to-BATT Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV; prevents chattering during gradual VCC droop by requiring 20mV rise above VBATT to re-engage main supply. |
| CE IN to CE OUT Propagation Delay | 1.5ns (typ); supports high-speed µP address/data bus gating without timing violation. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V on VCC or VBATT; allows operation across Li-ion, coin-cell, and regulated logic rails. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6367PKA44+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for PCB area-constrained embedded designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output | Asserts high during VCC < 4.38V, MR low, or reset event; requires external pull-down for logic-low default state. |
| 2 CE IN | Chip-enable input | Drives CE OUT only when reset is deasserted; connect to GND or OUT if unused. |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC, BATT, and all internal switching circuits. |
| 4 BATT ON | Battery-on status indicator | Push-pull output driven high only when device is in battery-backup mode (VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT). |
| 5 RESET IN | Not connected / No function | Unused pin for MAX6367 family; electrically isolated and must be left floating or tied to GND. |
| 6 VCC | Main supply input | Primary power source (1.2V–5.5V); reset asserts when voltage falls below 4.38V. |
| 7 OUT | Regulated output supply | Sources from VCC normally; switches to VBATT during brownout; delivers up to 150mA from VCC, 20mA from battery. |
| 8 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–5.5V backup source; internal MOSFET connects to OUT when VCC fails and VBATT > VCC + 20mV. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery-On Output Indicator | Dedicated push-pull BATT ON pin confirms backup mode activation without software polling or external logic. |
| On-board Chip-Enable Gating | 1.5ns propagation delay CE IN → CE OUT path prevents SRAM write corruption during power faults. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 10µA typical ICC enables >10-year coin-cell lifetime in memory-retention applications. |
| VCC-to-BATT Switchover Control | Automatic MOSFET-based power-path selection with 40mV hysteresis eliminates need for external diode-or or controller. |
| Reset Valid Down to 1.2V | Guaranteed RESET/RESET functionality even as VCC or VBATT decays to 1.2V, ensuring robust brownout response. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Monitors | Industrial Data Loggers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6367HKA44+ | Same reset threshold (4.38V) and BATT ON function, but uses push-pull active-high RESET output instead of open-drain. | Requires no external pull-down on RESET; better suited for direct µP reset input without level-shifting. | Select MAX6367HKA44+ when µP reset pin expects active-high push-pull drive and board layout cannot accommodate pull-down resistor. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, no BATT ON output, no battery switchover or CE gating; only provides reset generation. | Lacks battery management functions; suitable only for basic reset supervision where backup power is handled externally. | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if system already implements discrete battery switchover and CE control, and 3.3V reset threshold suffices. |
Compared with MAX6367PKA44+, MAX6367HKA44+ simplifies reset interface design by eliminating external pull-down needs, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces cost and footprint in applications omitting battery-backup requirements entirely.

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for MAX6367PKA44+?
The MAX6367PKA44+ has a factory-set reset threshold of 4.38V (typical), with a guaranteed range of 4.25V to 4.50V across temperature and process variation. This value is laser-trimmed during production and applies to VCC monitoring only; it is not adjustable. The threshold ensures reliable reset assertion for +5V systems operating within standard regulator tolerances, and is documented in the Reset Threshold Ranges table of the MAX6365–MAX6368 datasheet.
Does MAX6367PKA44+ support battery-backup operation, and how does it switch between VCC and BATT?
Yes, MAX6367PKA44+ supports automatic battery-backup operation. It switches to BATT when two conditions are met: VCC falls below the 4.38V reset threshold, and VCC is at least 20mV lower than VBATT. A 40mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay. During backup mode, OUT is sourced from BATT, and the BATT ON pin drives high to indicate active backup. The device draws only 3µA from VBATT (typ) in this state, enabling multi-year coin-cell operation.
What is the function of the BATT ON pin on MAX6367PKA44+, and what are its electrical characteristics?
The BATT ON pin on MAX6367PKA44+ is a push-pull active-high output that asserts high exclusively when the device is in battery-backup mode (i.e., VCC < 4.38V and VCC < VBATT). It sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V saturation voltage and sources ~10µA from OUT in backup mode. This pin eliminates the need for external logic to detect backup status and can directly drive LEDs, optocouplers, or the base of an external PNP pass transistor for higher-current backup loads.
Can MAX6367PKA44+ be used without a backup battery, and how should BATT and OUT be connected?
Yes, MAX6367PKA44+ can operate without a backup battery. In this configuration, connect BATT to GND and OUT directly to VCC. This disables battery switchover and BATT ON output (which remains low), while retaining full reset supervision and CE gating functionality. The device continues to monitor VCC, assert RESET on undervoltage, and gate CE IN to CE OUT - making it suitable for cost-sensitive applications where backup power is unnecessary but robust power monitoring is required.
What is the purpose of the CE IN and CE OUT pins on MAX6367PKA44+, and how do they behave during reset?
The CE IN and CE OUT pins on MAX6367PKA44+ implement hardware chip-enable gating to prevent erroneous SRAM writes during power faults. During normal operation, CE IN passes through to CE OUT with 1.5ns propagation delay. When reset asserts, CE OUT is immediately disabled: if CE IN is low at reset assertion, CE OUT stays low for 12µs (typ) to complete ongoing memory access; if CE IN is high, CE OUT remains high. This behavior ensures data integrity without µP intervention or software overhead.
