Product details
Overview
MAX6379UR44+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, active-high push-pull voltage detector optimized for precision power-supply monitoring in battery-powered systems. It features a factory-trimmed 4.38V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), 500nA supply current, and guaranteed operation down to 1V VCC - enabling reliable brownout detection in portable medical devices and low-voltage microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6379UR44+T datasheet, MAX6379UR44+T pinout, MAX6379UR44+T application, or MAX6379UR44+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high output logic, SOT23-3 package compatibility, 4.38V trip point with hysteresis, and immunity to sub-10µs VCC transients at typical overdrive levels.
Technical Context
The MAX6379UR44+T implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistors to set its 4.38V threshold without external components. Its push-pull output drives high when VCC falls below VTH, eliminating need for external pull-up resistors.
Designed for single-function voltage supervision, it asserts output within 9.5µs (typical propagation delay) and rejects fast transients via internal filtering - validated by the Maximum Transient Duration vs. Threshold Overdrive curve showing immunity to ≤50µs glitches at 100mV overdrive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across industrial temperature range |
| Supply Current | 500nA typical - extends battery life in always-on wearable sensors and IoT edge nodes |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - directly interfaces with MCU reset inputs without external pull-up |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and across multiple supply rails |
| Propagation Delay | 9.5µs typical (falling edge) - enables timely system reset before critical undervoltage conditions escalate |
| Hysteresis | 100mV - prevents output chatter during slow-ramping or noisy supply recovery |
| Tempco | 40ppm/°C - maintains threshold stability across wide ambient variations |
Pinout & Package
MAX6379UR44+T is housed in a lead-free 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOT-23 layouts and suitable for high-density PCB designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal bandgap and comparator - must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold accuracy |
| 2 | OUT | Active-high push-pull output - sinks up to 1.2mA or sources up to 500µA; directly drives CMOS reset inputs |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input - powers internal circuitry and defines monitored rail; operates from 1.2V to 5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low 500nA supply current | Enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell–powered remote sensors and asset trackers |
| Factory-trimmed 4.38V threshold | Eliminates manual calibration and external resistor networks for Li-ion battery end-of-discharge detection |
| Active-high push-pull output | Reduces BOM count by removing external pull-up resistors required by open-drain alternatives |
| 1V minimum VCC operation | Ensures valid reset assertion even during severe brownout events before system shutdown |
| Transient immunity | Rejects noise spikes ≤50µs duration at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets in electrically noisy environments |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB33DBZR | 3.3V threshold, open-drain output, 1.8µA supply current | Requires external pull-up; higher quiescent current reduces battery lifetime | Select when 3.3V rail monitoring is needed and board space allows pull-up resistor |
| TPS3801K33DBVR | 3.3V threshold, active-low push-pull, 1.2µA supply current | Inverted logic requires MCU pin reassignment or inverter gate; not drop-in compatible | Choose only if existing firmware expects active-low reset and 3.3V trip is acceptable |
Compared with TLV803EB33DBZR and TPS3801K33DBVR, the MAX6379UR44+T provides a unique combination of 4.38V trip point, active-high logic, and 500nA current - making it irreplaceable for Li-ion end-of-life detection without layout or firmware changes.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6379UR44+T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6379UR44+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.38V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. Its 40ppm/°C tempco ensures minimal drift across temperature extremes, making it suitable for applications like Li-ion battery end-of-discharge detection where threshold consistency is critical to system reliability.
Does MAX6379UR44+T require any external components to function?
No, the MAX6379UR44+T requires no external components - its precision bandgap reference, comparator, and threshold-setting resistors are fully integrated and factory-trimmed. This eliminates calibration steps and reduces BOM cost, especially compared to discrete supervisor solutions needing external resistors and capacitors.
What is the output behavior of MAX6379UR44+T during a power supply transient?
The MAX6379UR44+T ignores fast negative-going VCC transients up to 50µs in duration when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV, as confirmed by its Typical Operating Characteristics graph. This built-in immunity prevents false resets in electrically noisy environments such as motor-driven industrial equipment or switch-mode power supply outputs.
Can MAX6379UR44+T operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX6379UR44+T guarantees correct output logic state down to 1V VCC, and functions across a 1.2V to 5.5V supply range. This enables robust brownout detection even during deep undervoltage conditions - essential for graceful shutdown in battery-powered systems approaching exhaustion.
Is MAX6379UR44+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6375–MAX6380 family?
Yes, all MAX6375–MAX6380 variants - including MAX6379UR44+T - share identical 3-pin SOT23-3 and SC70-3 footprints and pinouts (GND, OUT, VCC). This allows direct substitution within the same package type when changing threshold or output logic configuration, simplifying design reuse and inventory management.
