Product details
Overview
MAX6378XR35+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, active-low voltage detector IC designed for precision power-supply monitoring in battery-powered systems. It features a factory-trimmed 3.50V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), 500nA supply current, push-pull output, and operates from 1.2V to 5.5V VCC - enabling reliable brownout detection in portable medical sensors and low-power IoT nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6378XR35+T datasheet, MAX6378XR35+T pinout, MAX6378XR35+T application, or MAX6378XR35+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.50V trip point, SC70-3 package footprint, 9.5µs propagation delay, and immunity to sub-200µs VCC transients - critical for stable reset assertion in energy-harvesting microcontrollers.
Technical Context
The MAX6378XR35+T implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistors to set its 3.50V threshold. Its push-pull output asserts logic low when VCC falls below VTH and remains valid down to 1V VCC, ensuring deterministic reset behavior during deep discharge.
Designed for transient immunity, it ignores negative-going VCC glitches shorter than 200µs at 100mV overdrive, and guarantees ±2.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +85°C without external calibration components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 3.50V ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across industrial temperature range |
| Supply Current | 500nA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring applications |
| Propagation Delay | 9.5µs typical - provides fast, deterministic reset assertion for microcontrollers requiring tight timing margins |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during battery discharge and across diverse supply rails |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - drives logic inputs directly without pull-up resistor, reducing BOM count |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 100mV - prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery near trip point |
| Transient Immunity | Rejects VCC glitches <200µs at 100mV overdrive - eliminates false resets in noisy power environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6378XR35+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 package (2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. The package is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal bandgap and comparator - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | OUT | Active-low push-pull output - sinks current when asserted (VCC < 3.50V); drives MCU RESET pin directly |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input - powers internal circuitry; accepts 1.2V–5.5V; decoupling capacitor recommended within 1cm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low 500nA supply current | Extends battery life in maintenance-free sensor nodes by minimizing quiescent drain |
| Factory-trimmed 3.50V threshold | Eliminates need for external resistor dividers or calibration, reducing design complexity and test time |
| Push-pull active-low output | Directly interfaces with standard CMOS/TTL reset inputs without external pull-up, saving board area and cost |
| 1V minimum operating voltage | Ensures valid reset assertion even during deep battery discharge, preventing MCU lockup |
| ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature | Guarantees consistent trip point across environmental conditions without software compensation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3123QDBVRQ1 | 3.5V threshold, 1.8µA supply current, SOT23-3 package, automotive-grade (–40°C to +125°C) | Higher supply current reduces battery life; wider temp range suits under-hood use but over-spec for consumer portables | Select when AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature operation are required, accepting higher quiescent power |
| APX803SA-35SA-7 | 3.5V threshold, 1.1µA supply current, SOT23-3, ±1.5% initial accuracy (25°C only) | Lower initial accuracy and no guaranteed tempco spec; lacks transient immunity characterization | Choose for cost-sensitive, room-temperature applications where full industrial temp range and glitch rejection are not critical |
Compared with TPS3123QDBVRQ1 and APX803SA-35SA-7, the MAX6378XR35+T delivers superior battery runtime via 500nA current, verified ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range, and documented transient immunity - making it optimal for long-life, field-deployed portable electronics.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-trimmed threshold voltage of MAX6378XR35+T?
The MAX6378XR35+T has a nominal threshold voltage of 3.50V, with ±2.5% tolerance guaranteed over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer sort and confirmed per Electrical Characteristics table in the datasheet; no external adjustment is needed for MAX6378XR35+T to achieve this specification.
Does MAX6378XR35+T require external components to operate?
No, MAX6378XR35+T requires no external components for basic operation. Its precision bandgap reference, comparator, and threshold-setting resistors are fully integrated. A 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor on VCC is recommended but not mandatory for most applications; no pull-up resistor is needed due to its push-pull output architecture.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6378XR35+T use?
MAX6378XR35+T uses the SC70-3 package: 2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm body size with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is OUT, and Pin 3 is VCC. The device is lead-free and RoHS-compliant, marked with top-side code "ADS" per Maxim's marking table for R35 variants in SC70.
How does MAX6378XR35+T handle power supply transients?
MAX6378XR35+T rejects short negative-going VCC transients: it will not assert output for glitches shorter than 200µs when VCC dips 100mV below the 3.50V threshold. This immunity is characterized in the Typical Operating Characteristics graph "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Threshold Overdrive" and ensures reliable reset behavior in electrically noisy environments.
Is MAX6378XR35+T compatible with 1.8V or 2.5V logic systems?
Yes, MAX6378XR35+T is compatible with 1.8V and 2.5V logic systems because its push-pull output drives to within 0.4V of GND (VOL) and to 0.8×VCC (VOH) under load, meeting standard CMOS input thresholds. When VCC ≥ 2.1V, VOL ≤ 0.4V satisfies 1.8V logic low requirement; VOH remains valid across its 1.2V–5.5V supply range.
