Product details
Overview
MAX6379UR37+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, active-high push-pull voltage detector designed for precision supply monitoring in battery-powered systems. It features a factory-trimmed 3.70V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), 500nA supply current, and guaranteed operation down to 1V VCC. It asserts a logic-high output when VCC falls below the threshold and is used in portable equipment power sequencing and microcontroller reset supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6379UR37+T datasheet, MAX6379UR37+T pinout, MAX6379UR37+T application, or MAX6379UR37+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.70V trip point, active-high push-pull output configuration, SC70/SOT23-3 package compatibility, transient immunity, and sub-1µA quiescent current - all critical for low-power embedded reset and brownout detection.
Technical Context
The MAX6379UR37+T implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistors to set its 3.70V threshold. Its active-high push-pull output drives high during undervoltage conditions without requiring external pull-up components. The device ignores fast VCC transients up to defined duration limits per threshold overdrive.
It operates across -40°C to +85°C with ±2.5% threshold accuracy and exhibits 9.5µs typical propagation delay (falling edge). Supply current remains stable at 500nA over temperature and voltage, enabling long battery life in always-on monitoring applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.70V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable brownout detection at defined system rail level |
| Supply Current | 500nA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in standby monitoring |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - directly interfaces with MCU reset inputs without external pull-up resistor |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and full-system power-up sequences |
| Propagation Delay | 9.5µs typical (MAX6378–MAX6380 family) - provides fast response to supply faults while rejecting noise |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 100mV - prevents output oscillation near trip point during slow-ramping supply conditions |
| Tempco | 40ppm/°C - maintains tight threshold stability across industrial temperature range |
Pinout & Package
MAX6379UR37+T is packaged in a 3-pin SOT23-3 (lead-free, +T suffix) with JEDEC MO-178AC outline. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = OUT, Pin 3 = VCC. This compact 2.92mm × 1.3mm footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained portable designs.
| 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-high push-pull output - sources current when VCC < 3.70V; sinks current when VCC ≥ 3.70V; drives standard CMOS inputs directly |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input - powers internal circuitry and defines monitored rail; valid from 1.2V to 5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 500nA enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and wearables |
| Factory-trimmed threshold | 3.70V ±2.5% eliminates calibration overhead and reduces BOM count vs. discrete resistor-divider solutions |
| Push-pull active-high output | Directly asserts MCU reset pins without pull-up resistors - saves board space and simplifies layout |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤9.5µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets in noisy power environments |
| Wide VCC operating range | Functions down to 1.2V - ensures correct state retention during deep brownout and cold-start conditions |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6379UR37+T?
The MAX6379UR37+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.70V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet and applies specifically to the "R37" suffix variant of the MAX6379 series.
Does the MAX6379UR37+T require an external pull-up resistor on its output?
No, the MAX6379UR37+T features an active-high push-pull output that actively drives both high and low states. Unlike open-drain detectors, it does not require an external pull-up resistor - simplifying design and reducing component count. This behavior is explicitly documented for MAX6376/MAX6379 in the Pin Description and Features sections.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6379UR37+T remains functional?
The MAX6379UR37+T is guaranteed to maintain correct output logic state down to 1V VCC, as stated in the General Description and Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows reliable operation during deep brownout conditions and ensures deterministic reset assertion even as the supply collapses.
How does the MAX6379UR37+T handle power supply transients?
The MAX6379UR37+T incorporates built-in transient immunity and ignores fast negative-going VCC glitches. Its maximum tolerable transient duration decreases as threshold overdrive increases - e.g., ~200µs at 10mV overdrive, ~20µs at 100mV overdrive - per the Typical Operating Characteristics graph MAX6375-04.
Is the MAX6379UR37+T available in both SC70 and SOT23 packages?
The MAX6379UR37+T is specified in the Ordering Information as a SOT23-3 package ("UR" prefix). The SC70-3 variant is designated as MAX6379XR37+T ("XR" prefix). Both share identical electrical specifications, but differ in physical outline, thermal resistance, and marking codes - confirming distinct, non-interchangeable package options.
