Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR23D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.31V reset threshold, 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and active-low open-drain reset output. It monitors +1.8V to +5.0V supply rails, consumes only 3μA at +1.8V, and guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1V. It is used in portable battery-powered equipment for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR23D3-T datasheet, MAX6381XR23D3-T pinout, MAX6381XR23D3-T application, or MAX6381XR23D3-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, 140ms timeout suitability for FPGA configuration sequencing, and SC70-3 package footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR23D3-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage 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 pulse after VCC rises above 2.31V.
As a member of the MAX6381–MAX6390 family, it uses BiCMOS process technology and features negative-going VCC transient immunity-rejecting glitches up to 150µs wide when overdrive exceeds 100mV-without requiring external RC filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.31V (nominal), ±2.5% tolerance over −40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent trip point across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms (minimum) - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping power supplies and FPGA/ASIC initialization |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| Operating Voltage | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports valid reset assertion during deep brownout down to 1V, critical for graceful shutdown |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration with other reset sources and level-shifting across voltage domains |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 35µs (VCC falling at 10mV/µs) - fast response to rapid supply collapse, minimizing risk of corrupted memory writes |
| Package | 3-pin SC70 (X3+2 outline) - 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint ideal for space-constrained wearables and medical patches |
Pinout & Package
MAX6381XR23D3-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208), with thermal resistance θJA = 340.4°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET (open-drain) | Active-low reset output requiring external pullup; sinks 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V, remains valid down to VCC = 1V |
| 2 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored rail; accepts +1.0V to +5.5V; absolute max −0.3V to +6.0V |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected directly to system ground plane for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.31V with ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at +1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes without compromising reset reliability |
| Open-drain reset output | Compatible with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V logic families via single external pullup - simplifies multi-rail system integration |
| Negative transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤150µs wide when overdrive >100mV - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset state during deep brownout - avoids undefined processor behavior before shutdown |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR23D3+T | Same 2.31V threshold and 140ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output; no open-drain capability | Requires dedicated reset net; incompatible with wired-OR or multi-source reset topologies | Select when system uses single-supply reset and needs lower output impedance than open-drain with pullup |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 2.35V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms timeout, 1.8V–6V operation; higher accuracy but longer delay | Not drop-in: different pinout (SOT-23-5), requires PCB redesign; tighter threshold spec suits precision analog systems | Select when ±0.5% threshold tolerance is mandatory and 200ms hold time aligns with SoC boot sequence |
Compared with MAX6326XR23D3+T and TPS3808G125DBVR, the MAX6381XR23D3-T uniquely balances ultra-low power (3μA), open-drain flexibility, and automotive-grade temperature range in a 3-pin SC70 - making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained multi-rail embedded systems where reset signal aggregation is required.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR23D3-T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6381XR23D3-T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.31V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). This corresponds to a min/max range of 2.26V to 2.37V at +25°C and 2.25V to 2.38V across temperature. The value is factory-trimmed using Maxim's BiCMOS process and does not require external calibration. This specification is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table (page 7) and Electrical Characteristics (page 3) of the official datasheet.
Does MAX6381XR23D3-T support manual reset functionality?
No, the MAX6381XR23D3-T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. Per the Selector Guide (page 9) and Pin Configurations (page 10), only MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386 and MAX6390 variants feature MR. The MAX6381 series (including MAX6381XR23D3-T) is a basic single-supply supervisor with RESET, VCC, and GND pins only - no MR or RESET IN terminals. Its function is strictly VCC-monitored reset generation.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the open-drain RESET output on MAX6381XR23D3-T?
The open-drain RESET output of MAX6381XR23D3-T can sink up to 3.2mA when VCC ≥ 4.5V and the output is asserted (low), with VOL ≤ 0.4V. At VCC ≥ 2.5V, it sinks 1.2mA with VOL ≤ 0.3V, and at VCC ≥ 1.0V, it sinks 80µA with VOL ≤ 0.3V. These values are specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 4) under "Open-Drain RESET Output Voltage." External pullup selection must respect these limits to ensure valid logic-low levels.
Can MAX6381XR23D3-T operate reliably during brief VCC supply glitches?
Yes, MAX6381XR23D3-T provides built-in immunity to short negative-going VCC transients. As shown in Figure 7 (page 5), it rejects glitches ≤150µs wide when the overdrive (VTH − VCC) exceeds 100mV. This is achieved via internal hysteresis and comparator design - no external RC filter is needed. The device remains immune across its full temperature range and is validated per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 4 for automotive use cases.
Is MAX6381XR23D3-T qualified for automotive applications?
The base MAX6381XR23D3-T is not automotive-qualified; it carries the "+T" RoHS suffix but lacks the "/V" automotive grade designation. Automotive versions exist (e.g., MAX6381XR23D3/V+T), which are AEC-Q100 qualified and specified for −40°C to +125°C operation with enhanced test coverage. The non-/V variant is intended for industrial and commercial applications. Always verify ordering code suffixes against the Ordering Information table (page 1) to confirm qualification status.
