Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR18D2+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 1.8V reset threshold, 20ms minimum reset timeout, active-low push-pull reset output, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. It monitors single supply rails in battery-powered systems and embedded controllers, consuming only 3µA at +1.8V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR18D2+ datasheet, MAX6381XR18D2+ pinout, MAX6381XR18D2+ application, or MAX6381XR18D2+ equivalent, key selection criteria include ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, SC70-3 package compatibility, negative-going transient immunity, and absence of manual reset or auxiliary input functionality.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR18D2+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with internal 1.8V reference and an on-chip timer for fixed 20ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its push-pull output drives low during reset and guarantees valid logic state even as VCC drops to 1V.
No manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs are present - this variant is optimized for simple single-rail monitoring without user-initiated or dual-voltage supervision. The device uses BiCMOS process technology and contains 647 transistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.8V nominal (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C); sets precise brownout detection point for +1.8V logic supplies |
| Reset Timeout | 20ms minimum; ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power-up sequencing |
| Supply Current | 3µA at +1.8V; enables multi-year battery life in portable and IoT edge nodes |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1V for graceful shutdown handling |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull; eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and provides strong drive capability |
| Tempco | 60ppm/°C; maintains tight threshold stability across industrial temperature range |
| Package | 3-pin SC70 (X3-2); 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint ideal for space-constrained PCBs |
Pinout & Package
MAX6381XR18D2+ is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (pkg code X3-2), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm × 0.95mm, with gull-wing leads and lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output; sinks current when asserted, sources current when deasserted; directly interfaces µP reset input |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input and monitored rail; powers internal circuitry and serves as the sole voltage under supervision |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 20ms fixed reset timeout | Matches typical power-up stabilization time of low-voltage µPs and SoCs without requiring timing capacitor |
| 3µA supply current at 1.8V | Reduces quiescent power in always-on subsystems - critical for coin-cell and energy-harvesting applications |
| Guaranteed operation to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout or controlled power-down sequences |
| SC70-3 package | Enables high-density placement in wearables, medical sensors, and compact industrial modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2+T | Same 1.8V threshold and 20ms timeout, but ±3% accuracy over -40°C to +105°C; higher 10µA ICC at 1.8V | Limited to commercial temperature range; less suitable for extended industrial deployments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temp range and ultra-low ICC requirements |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 1.8V threshold with 20ms timeout, ±0.5% initial accuracy, but 1.2µA ICC at 1.8V; requires external capacitor for timeout | Higher accuracy and lower ICC, but adds BOM item and layout complexity for timing capacitor | Select when highest threshold precision and lowest power are mandatory, and capacitor placement is feasible |
Compared with MAX809TRD2+T, MAX6381XR18D2+ offers tighter temperature drift control and lower supply current for battery-critical designs; compared with TPS3808G18DBVR, it trades absolute accuracy and ultra-low ICC for zero-component simplicity and guaranteed industrial temperature operation.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6381XR18D2+?
The MAX6381XR18D2+ has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 1.8V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This means the actual trip point falls between 1.755V and 1.845V across temperature, ensuring robust brownout detection for 1.8V logic supplies without external trimming.
Does MAX6381XR18D2+ include a manual reset input (MR)?
No, MAX6381XR18D2+ does not feature a manual reset input. It belongs to the MAX6381/MAX6382/MAX6383 subgroup, which lacks MR functionality. Only MAX6384–MAX6386 and MAX6390 variants include MR; the MAX6381XR18D2+ is designed exclusively for automatic VCC monitoring with no user-initiated reset capability.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6381XR18D2+ use?
MAX6381XR18D2+ is supplied in a 3-pin SC70 package (pkg code X3-2), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm × 0.95mm with gull-wing leads. This ultra-small outline enables high-density placement in wearables, medical patches, and compact industrial modules where board space is severely constrained.
Can MAX6381XR18D2+ monitor a second voltage rail via RESET IN?
No, MAX6381XR18D2+ does not support auxiliary voltage monitoring. The RESET IN pin is absent - only MAX6387–MAX6389 variants include this feature. MAX6381XR18D2+ monitors only the VCC rail and provides no provision for external resistor-divider networks or secondary supply supervision.
What is the supply current consumption of MAX6381XR18D2+ at different voltages?
MAX6381XR18D2+ draws 3µA at +1.8V, 4µA at +2.5V, 6µA at +3.6V, and 7µA at +5.5V (typical, TA = +25°C). Its ultra-low ICC enables multi-year operation from coin cells and makes it ideal for always-on IoT endpoints and energy-harvesting systems where quiescent power dominates lifetime budget.
