Product details
Overview
MAX6380XR42-T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, open-drain, active-low voltage detector with a factory-trimmed threshold of 4.200V ±2.5%, 500nA supply current, and operation down to 1V VCC - used for reliable power-supply monitoring in battery-powered microcontroller reset circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6380XR42-T datasheet, MAX6380XR42-T pinout, MAX6380XR42-T application, or MAX6380XR42-T equivalent, this device serves as a precision, low-quiescent-current supervisor for 3.3V–5V systems requiring glitch-immune reset assertion during brownout conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX6380XR42-T implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistors to set its 4.200V trip point, eliminating external components. Its open-drain output sinks current when VCC falls below threshold and remains valid down to 1V supply.
It features built-in immunity to fast VCC transients (≤140µs at 20mV overdrive), ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, and propagation delay of 9.5µs (typ) on falling VCC - optimized for stable reset generation in portable digital systems.
Key Specifications

|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal bandgap and comparator; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | OUT | Active-low open-drain output; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and sink capability |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input; powers internal circuitry and defines monitored voltage rail; supports operation down to 1.2V |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB33DBZR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 350nA ICC, SOT23-3, push-pull output | Lower threshold; unsuitable for 4.2V detection; requires different pull-up strategy due to push-pull drive | Select only if system uses 3.3V rail supervision and board layout accommodates push-pull reset signaling |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold, 1.1µA ICC, SOT23-6, adjustable delay, open-drain | Higher quiescent current; larger package; includes programmable reset timeout not present in MAX6380XR42-T | Choose when extended reset pulse width or higher drive strength is required; avoid if 500nA ICC is mandatory |
Compared with TLV803EB33DBZR and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6380XR42-T uniquely combines 4.200V precision threshold, 500nA supply current, and SC70 footprint - making it optimal for compact, long-life 4.2V battery supervision where minimal loading and exact trip point are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6380XR42-T?
The MAX6380XR42-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.200V, with ±2.5% accuracy over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. At +25°C, the threshold is guaranteed between 4.137V (min) and 4.263V (max), per Table 1 in the datasheet. This precise value makes the MAX6380XR42-T ideal for supervising 4.2V Li-ion battery terminals or 3.3V/5V rails with tight margin requirements.
Does the MAX6380XR42-T require external components to operate?
No, the MAX6380XR42-T requires no external components for basic operation. Its precision bandgap reference, comparator, and threshold-setting resistors are fully integrated and factory-trimmed. Only an external pull-up resistor on the open-drain OUT pin is needed to establish the logic-high level - typically 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on load capacitance and speed requirements. The MAX6380XR42-T eliminates the need for discrete voltage dividers, capacitors, or trimming potentiometers.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6380XR42-T use?
The MAX6380XR42-T is supplied in a 3-pin SC70 package (also known as SOT323), measuring 2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.9mm with a standard pitch of 0.65mm. This ultra-compact outline matches the footprint of competing SOT23-3 devices but offers superior thermal performance and handling characteristics for automated assembly. Pin 1 is GND, pin 2 is OUT, and pin 3 is VCC - consistent across all SC70 variants in the MAX6375–MAX6380 family.
How does the MAX6380XR42-T behave during fast VCC transients?
The MAX6380XR42-T is designed to ignore fast negative-going VCC transients: for example, a 20mV dip below threshold is tolerated for up to ~140µs without triggering output assertion, per the "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Threshold Overdrive" graph. This immunity prevents false resets caused by switching noise or load transients, ensuring robust operation in electrically noisy environments such as motor-driven or RF-intensive systems where the MAX6380XR42-T is commonly deployed.
Can the MAX6380XR42-T operate reliably below 2.0V VCC?
Yes, the MAX6380XR42-T guarantees correct output logic state (active-low when VCC < VTH) down to 1.2V VCC, and functional operation is specified from 1.2V to 5.5V. Even at 1.2V, the internal bandgap reference and comparator remain stable, allowing the MAX6380XR42-T to assert reset during deep brownout conditions - a key advantage over many competitors that fail below 1.8V. This capability is validated across –40°C to +85°C and supports ultra-low-voltage battery end-of-life detection.
