Product details
Overview
MAX6378XR35-T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, active-low voltage detector IC with a factory-trimmed 3.50V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), 500nA supply current, push-pull output, and operation down to 1V VCC. It monitors regulated system or battery voltages in portable equipment and asserts a logic-low signal when VCC falls below VTH.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6378XR35-T datasheet, MAX6378XR35-T pinout, MAX6378XR35-T application, or MAX6378XR35-T equivalent, this device serves as a precision reset supervisor for microcontroller-based systems requiring low quiescent current, transient-immune power monitoring, and guaranteed logic state integrity across -40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6378XR35-T integrates a precision bandgap reference, comparator, and laser-trimmed resistive divider to set its 3.50V detection threshold without external components. Its internal architecture ensures stable trip-point accuracy across temperature and supply variations.
It features push-pull output logic (active-low), propagation delay of 9.5µs (typical), ±2.5% threshold tolerance over full temperature range, and immunity to fast VCC transients-ignoring negative glitches up to duration limits defined by threshold overdrive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.50V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable brown-out detection for 3.3V systems |
| Supply Current | 500nA typical - enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell-powered devices |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - drives logic inputs directly without pull-up resistor |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports valid output assertion even during deep brown-out conditions |
| Propagation Delay | 9.5µs typical (falling edge) - provides fast response to supply collapse while rejecting sub-µs noise |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 100mV - prevents output oscillation near trip point during slow-ramping supplies |
| Tempco | 40ppm/°C - maintains tight threshold stability across industrial temperature range |
Pinout & Package
MAX6378XR35-T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (pin-compatible with SOT23-3), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. The package is RoHS-compliant and available in tape-and-reel format only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SC70) / 2 (SOT23) | GND | Ground reference for internal bandgap and comparator - must be low-impedance connection |
| 2 (SC70) / 1 (SOT23) | OUT | Active-low push-pull output - sinks current when asserted; drives MCU RESET or enable logic directly |
| 3 (both) | VCC | Supply input - powers internal circuitry and defines monitored rail; operates down to 1.2V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 500nA typical - extends battery runtime in always-on monitoring applications |
| No external components | Factory-trimmed threshold and hysteresis - eliminates calibration labor and BOM cost |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches <9.5µs (at 100mV overdrive) - avoids false resets in noisy power environments |
| Guaranteed logic state | Valid output down to 1V VCC - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep undervoltage |
| Small footprint | SC70-3 (1.25mm × 0.85mm) - saves PCB area in wearables and compact IoT sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB35DBZR | 3.5V threshold, 350nA ICC, open-drain output, SOT23-3 | Requires external pull-up; lower ICC but no push-pull drive capability | Select when system already uses open-drain reset buses or needs lowest possible current |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold, 1.1µA ICC, push-pull, adjustable delay, SOT23-6 | Higher current, larger package, fixed 3.3V threshold - not interchangeable for 3.5V requirement | Select only if 3.3V threshold suffices and programmable delay is needed; not drop-in |
Compared with TLV803EB35DBZR and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6378XR35-T uniquely delivers 3.50V precision detection with push-pull drive and 500nA current in SC70 - making it optimal for space- and battery-limited 3.3V-system brown-out supervision where external components must be eliminated.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6378XR35-T?
The MAX6378XR35-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.50V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). At +25°C, the typical threshold is 3.50V, and the min/max bounds are 3.412V and 3.587V respectively - confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX6378XR35-T require any external components to operate?
No, the MAX6378XR35-T requires no external components. Its precision bandgap reference, comparator, and laser-trimmed resistor network are fully integrated, enabling direct connection to VCC, GND, and the host system's reset input. This eliminates calibration, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability versus discrete solutions.
What is the output configuration of the MAX6378XR35-T?
The MAX6378XR35-T features an active-low push-pull output. When VCC drops below the 3.50V threshold, OUT is driven logic-low (typically ≤0.4V at 100µA sink); when VCC is above threshold, OUT is driven logic-high (typically ≥0.8×VCC). This eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor.
Can the MAX6378XR35-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX6378XR35-T guarantees correct output logic state for VCC as low as 1.2V, and remains functional down to 1.0V. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brown-out events - critical for preserving memory integrity and preventing erratic MCU operation in battery-powered systems.
Is the MAX6378XR35-T compatible with both SC70 and SOT23-3 footprints?
The MAX6378XR35-T is specified for the SC70-3 package (top mark blank per Table 2), with pinout identical to SOT23-3 but smaller dimensions (1.25mm × 0.85mm vs. 2.9mm × 1.6mm). While electrically pin-compatible, mechanical compatibility requires layout verification - SC70 pads are not interchangeable with SOT23 without redesign.
