Product details
Overview
The MAX6381XR16D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 3-pin SC70 package, featuring a factory-set 1.58V reset threshold, 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and active-low push-pull reset output. It monitors single-supply voltages from +1.8V to +5.0V with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C and consumes only 3μA at +1.8V - ideal for battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR16D3+T datasheet, MAX6381XR16D3+T pinout, MAX6381XR16D3+T application, or MAX6381XR16D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.58V reset threshold, guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, immunity to negative-going VCC transients, compatibility with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V logic domains, and pin compatibility with legacy MAX809/MAX810 series supervisors.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with internal hysteresis and a digital timeout counter. The reset assertion is triggered when VCC falls below the factory-trimmed 1.58V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), and the active-low push-pull output remains asserted for ≥140ms after VCC recovers above threshold.
No manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs are present - consistent with the MAX6381 variant family. Its 3-pin SC70 configuration dedicates pins exclusively to VCC, GND, and RESET, eliminating unused terminals and minimizing board footprint for space-constrained applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.58V (factory-set, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C) - ensures deterministic reset initiation across industrial temperature range |

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 | Same 1.58V threshold and 140ms timeout, but rated only to +85°C; 3-pin SOT23 package (larger than SC70) | Not suitable for under-hood or extended-temperature industrial use; requires larger PCB area | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs temperature range and size requirements |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | 1.55V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms timeout, 1.8–6V operation; 5-pin SOT23 - adds MR input and enable pin | Offers manual reset and enable control, but increases pin count and design complexity | Choose when system-level reset coordination (e.g., watchdog-triggered reset) is required |
Compared with MAX809TRD3+T, the MAX6381XR16D3+T delivers extended temperature support and smaller footprint; versus TPS3808G15DBVR, it trades configurability for minimalism and lower BOM count in fixed-threshold, no-MR designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6381XR16D3+T?
The MAX6381XR16D3+T has a factory-set reset threshold of 1.58V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external components. At +25°C, the typical threshold is 1.58V, and the min/max limits are 1.54V and 1.61V respectively - confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX6381XR16D3+T include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the MAX6381XR16D3+T does not include a manual reset input. It belongs to the MAX6381 subfamily, which features only VCC monitoring and an active-low push-pull RESET output. Manual reset capability is present only in MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386 and MAX6390 variants - confirmed by the Selector Guide and Pin Description tables showing MR pin absence for MAX6381.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6381XR16D3+T guarantees correct RESET output logic state?
The MAX6381XR16D3+T guarantees valid RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this level, the internal circuitry may not maintain defined output behavior. This specification ensures fail-safe reset assertion during deep brownout conditions - explicitly stated in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET Output State Guaranteed Valid Down to VCC = 1V".
Is the MAX6381XR16D3+T pin-compatible with the MAX809 series?
Yes, the MAX6381XR16D3+T is pin-compatible with the MAX809/MAX810 series in the same 3-pin SC70 package configuration. Both share identical pin 1 (RESET), pin 2 (VCC), and pin 3 (GND) assignments and electrical interface characteristics. This compatibility is explicitly noted in the Features section and validated by matching pin descriptions and top-view diagrams in the datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6381XR16D3+T use?
The MAX6381XR16D3+T uses a 3-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm with 0.65mm pin pitch. It is RoHS-compliant and lead-free ("+T" suffix), and thermal resistance θJA is 340.4°C/W on a multilayer board - all specified in the Package Information section of the datasheet.
