Product details
Overview
MAX6381LT22D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.19V reset threshold, 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and open-drain active-low RESET output. It monitors single supply voltage (1.0V–5.5V), consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V, and is used in battery-powered embedded controllers requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381LT22D3+T datasheet, MAX6381LT22D3+T pinout, MAX6381LT22D3+T application, or MAX6381LT22D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), open-drain output compatibility with mixed-voltage systems, 6-pin μDFN package footprint, and immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive.
Technical Context
The MAX6381LT22D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a guaranteed-minimum 140ms reset assertion after VCC recovers above 2.19V, independent of supply ramp rate.
This device belongs to the MAX6381–MAX6390 family of single-supply supervisors with no manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs - confirmed by its part number suffix "LT" (indicating 6-pin μDFN, no MR, no RESET IN) and pin configuration table showing only RESET, VCC, and GND connections.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.19V (factory-set, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C) - ensures deterministic reset activation during 2.2V system brownouts |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - holds μP in reset long enough for power stabilization and oscillator startup in low-voltage microcontrollers |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET - supports wired-OR logic, level translation, and pullup to higher voltage rail (e.g., 3.3V RESET line on 1.8V core) |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V - functions as reset source even during deep brownout when VCC drops below 1.8V |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
| Package | 6-pin μDFN (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch) - compact footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6381LT22D3+T uses a 6-pin μDFN package (Outline Number 21-0147, Land Pattern 90-0080) with wettable flanks, RoHS-compliant, and rated for –40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparators and timer; must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity |
| 2 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail; powers internal circuitry and serves as reset threshold reference point |
| 3 | N.C. | No internal connection; left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice - no electrical function |
| 4 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pullup resistor (typically 10kΩ to 3.3V/5V); asserts low during VCC undervoltage |
| 5 | N.C. | No internal connection; electrically isolated - no routing or termination required |
| 6 | N.C. | No internal connection; unused pad - may be connected to thermal pad or left unconnected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.19V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in portable medical devices and wireless sensor nodes |
| Valid reset output down to VCC = 1V | Ensures controlled shutdown sequence even during severe brownout - prevents undefined μP state |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤35µs duration at 100mV overdrive - suppresses false resets from switching noise |
| Open-drain RESET architecture | Enables shared reset bus across multiple voltage domains (e.g., 1.8V core + 3.3V I/O) without level shifters |
Applications
| Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Node | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Coin-cell–powered environmental sensor transmitting data via BLE every 5 minutes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 1.8V LDO output; asserts open-drain RESET to nRF52832 until stable power is confirmed post-wakeup. Use Value: 3μA supply current extends 200mAh CR2032 battery life beyond 10 years; 140ms timeout ensures RF oscillator stability before transmission. |
Use Scenario: Door module controlling window lift, mirror fold, and interior lighting using SBC-supplied 5V rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 5V supply derived from automotive SBC; triggers MCU reset if battery dips below 2.19V during cold-crank. Use Value: AEC-Q100–qualified operation and –40°C to +125°C range ensure reliability in under-dash mounting; ±2.5% threshold accuracy prevents premature reset during load dump. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion Card | Medical Infusion Pump Controller |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted I/O card with isolated 3.3V and 24V rails powering ARM Cortex-M4 and field-side drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets microcontroller when 3.3V logic rail falls below 2.19V due to isolation barrier fault or LDO failure. Use Value: Open-drain output allows direct connection to 3.3V reset bus shared with other modules; 6-pin μDFN saves space on dense carrier board. |
Use Scenario: Safety-critical infusion pump with dual-redundant ARM cores requiring deterministic reset during power interruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fail-safe reset signal to both MCUs when main 2.5V supply sags below 2.19V during AC dropout. Use Value: Guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V prevents partial execution of motor control code; 140ms timeout exceeds pump motor driver startup delay. |
