Product details
Overview
The MAX6381LT44D3+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 4.38V reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, active-low open-drain reset output, and operation down to VCC = 1.0V. It monitors single-supply voltages in portable battery-powered systems and embedded controllers requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381LT44D3+ datasheet, MAX6381LT44D3+ pinout, MAX6381LT44D3+ application, or MAX6381LT44D3+ equivalent, key selection factors include its ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, 3µA supply current at 1.8V, SC70-3 package footprint, and guaranteed valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator-based reset detection architecture with internal timing capacitor for fixed reset timeout. The reset comparator features 60ppm/°C tempco and immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive.
The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and asserts low when VCC falls below 4.38V (min 4.27V, max 4.48V), remaining asserted for ≥140ms after VCC rises above threshold. No manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs are present on this variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V nominal (4.27V–4.48V range); sets precise power-fail detection point for +4.5V logic rails |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum; ensures µP completes full initialization before release |
| Supply Current | 3µA at +1.8V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C; eliminates need for external calibration in industrial environments |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V; guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain; allows wired-OR configuration with other reset sources |
| Tempco | 60ppm/°C; maintains tight threshold stability across wide temperature range |
Pinout & Package
MAX6381LT44D3+ uses the 3-pin SC70-3 package (package code X3-2), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = RESET (open-drain active-low).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail; powers internal circuitry and serves as reset threshold reference |
| 2 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pullup resistor to host VCC rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider and associated tolerance stack-up in space-constrained designs |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe undervoltage conditions where many competitors fail |
| Low 3µA supply current at 1.8V | Reduces quiescent power in battery-backed real-time clocks and IoT endpoint sensors |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects sub-35µs VCC glitches without false resets, improving system robustness in noisy power environments |
| SC70-3 package footprint | Provides smallest available form factor among Maxim's reset supervisors for ultra-dense PCB layouts |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Wearables | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3+T | 4.63V reset threshold, 240ms timeout, same SC70-3 package | Higher threshold better suited for 5V systems with tighter noise margins; longer timeout accommodates slower power supplies | Select when system requires higher reset voltage margin or extended hold time for complex boot sequences |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold, adjustable timeout via capacitor, SOT-23-5 package | Lower threshold targets 3.3V logic rails; timeout adjustability adds design flexibility but increases BOM count | Choose when precise 3.3V monitoring is needed or when variable timeout is required for multi-rail sequencing |
Compared with MAX809TRD3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6381LT44D3+ provides optimal balance of 4.38V threshold accuracy, minimal 140ms timeout, and lowest quiescent current in the smallest footprint-making it ideal for space- and power-constrained 4.5V rail supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6381LT44D3+?
The MAX6381LT44D3+ has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 4.38V, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 4.27V and 4.48V respectively over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. This corresponds to the "44" suffix in the part number per Maxim's Reset Threshold table.
Does the MAX6381LT44D3+ include a manual reset input (MR)?
No, the MAX6381LT44D3+ does not feature a manual reset input. It belongs to the MAX6381/MAX6382/MAX6383 subgroup, which lacks MR functionality. Manual reset capability is only present in MAX6384–MAX6390 variants, as confirmed in the Selector Guide and Pin Description sections.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6381LT44D3+ use?
The MAX6381LT44D3+ uses the 3-pin SC70-3 package (package code X3-2), with body dimensions of 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm and gull-wing lead configuration. This is verified in the Ordering Information table and Package Information section of the datasheet.
How does the reset timeout behavior work on the MAX6381LT44D3+?
The MAX6381LT44D3+ asserts its open-drain RESET output low when VCC falls below 4.38V and holds it low for a minimum of 140ms after VCC rises above the threshold. This D3 timeout value is fixed by internal capacitor and cannot be adjusted externally.
Is the MAX6381LT44D3+ compatible with 1.8V supply rails?
Yes, the MAX6381LT44D3+ operates from 1.0V to 5.5V and consumes only 3µA at 1.8V, making it fully compatible with low-voltage systems. Its reset output remains valid and correctly asserted down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring reliable operation during deep brownout conditions.
