Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR25D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit in 3-pin SC70 package, featuring a factory-set 2.50V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and active-low open-drain reset output. It monitors single supply voltage down to 1.0V, consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, and guarantees valid reset state during brownout conditions in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR25D3+T datasheet, MAX6381XR25D3+T pinout, MAX6381XR25D3+T application, or MAX6381XR25D3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, exact pin functions for SC70 layout, real-world timing behavior across temperature, and validated alternative parts with documented functional differences - all critical for power sequencing design in space-constrained embedded controllers.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR25D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a guaranteed-minimum 140ms reset assertion after VCC rises above 2.50V, independent of supply ramp rate.
As an open-drain active-low reset device, it requires an external pullup resistor and supports reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V. It lacks manual reset (MR) and auxiliary RESET IN inputs - distinguishing it from MAX6384–MAX6390 and MAX6387–MAX6389 variants - and is optimized for fixed-threshold, single-rail monitoring in cost-sensitive, low-quiescent-current applications.

Pinout & Package
MAX6381XR25D3+T uses a 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208) with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is RESET (active-low open-drain), Pin 2 is VCC, and Pin 3 is GND - no NC pins or auxiliary inputs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pullup; sinks ≥80µA at VCC ≥1.0V with VOL ≤0.3V |
| 2 | VCC | Power supply input and monitored rail; operates from 1.0V to 5.5V; absolute max -0.3V to +6.0V |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output stage; must be low-impedance return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.50V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor divider and calibration effort |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - reduces standby power in battery-backed real-time clocks and sensor nodes |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 1.0V | Ensures deterministic μP reset state even during severe brownout - prevents code corruption in power-critical systems |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches <140µs wide when overdrive is <100mV - improves robustness in noisy DC/DC converter environments |
| Small-footprint SC70 package | 1.25mm × 0.85mm body with 0.65mm pitch - saves >50% board area vs. SOT-23 in high-density portable designs |
Applications
| Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Node | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: A wireless temperature sensor powered by a CR2032 coin cell must maintain accurate timekeeping and wake-on-event functionality across 5+ years of operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6381XR25D3+T provides power-on reset and brownout detection for the ultra-low-power MCU, asserting reset until VCC stabilizes above 2.50V after cold start or battery recovery. Use Value: 3μA supply current extends battery life; 140ms timeout ensures reliable flash memory initialization; open-drain output interfaces directly with MCU's active-low reset pin without level-shifting. | Use Scenario: An industrial digital input module monitors 24V DC field signals using isolated level-shifters and a 3.3V logic supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6381XR25D3+T supervises the 3.3V logic rail, generating a clean reset pulse to the ARM Cortex-M4 processor during power-up and undervoltage events. Use Value: ±2.5% threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C prevents spurious resets in uncontrolled cabinet environments; SC70 footprint enables dense placement near power regulators. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Medical Wearable Monitor |
Use Scenario: A LIN bus-controlled door lock actuator requires AEC-Q100-compliant supervision of its 5V microcontroller supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6381XR25D3+T (with /V suffix variant) monitors the post-regulator 5V rail, asserting reset during ignition cycling and load-dump transients. Use Value: Valid operation down to VCC = 1.0V ensures reset integrity during cranking-induced brownouts; 140ms timeout accommodates slow-ramping automotive supplies. | Use Scenario: A wrist-worn ECG monitor uses a 1.8V LDO to power its analog front-end and BLE SoC, requiring fail-safe startup sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6381XR25D3+T supervises the 1.8V rail, holding the SoC in reset until voltage exceeds 2.50V and remains stable for ≥140ms. Use Value: 3μA quiescent current minimizes drain on the rechargeable LiPo battery; open-drain output allows shared reset bus with other subsystems like display driver. |
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 3-pin SC70 package, 2.5V threshold, but push-pull active-low output and higher 12μA ICC at 1.8V | Lacks open-drain flexibility; cannot share reset bus; less suitable for mixed-voltage systems | Select MAX809TRD3+T only if push-pull drive strength (3.2mA sink) is required and board-level reset bus sharing is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3-pin SOT-23, 3.3V threshold (not 2.5V), 200ms timeout, 1.1μA ICC at 1.8V, but no AEC-Q100 qualification | Higher threshold limits use with 2.5V/1.8V rails; different package requires layout change; no automotive qualification | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for non-automotive 3.3V systems where ultra-low ICC (<2μA) outweighs threshold mismatch and package incompatibility |
Compared with MAX809TRD3+T, MAX6381XR25D3+T offers lower power and open-drain flexibility at the cost of reduced drive strength; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides precise 2.5V threshold and automotive qualification but consumes slightly more current - making it optimal for AEC-Q100-compliant, dual-rail, battery-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR25D3+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6381XR25D3+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.50V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This means the actual threshold falls between 2.44V and 2.56V at +25°C, and between 2.44V and 2.56V across temperature - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold" with ΔVTH/°C = 60ppm/°C.
Does MAX6381XR25D3+T include a manual reset input (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN pin?
No, MAX6381XR25D3+T does not include a manual reset input (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN pin. As shown in the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations, only MAX6384–MAX6390 feature MR, and only MAX6387–MAX6389 include RESET IN. The MAX6381 series (including MAX6381XR25D3+T) is a basic single-supply supervisor with RESET, VCC, and GND only - confirmed by the absence of MR or RESET IN in its 3-pin SC70 pinout.
What is the minimum reset timeout period for MAX6381XR25D3+T and how is it guaranteed?
The MAX6381XR25D3+T has a minimum reset timeout period of 140ms, denoted by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This value is guaranteed over temperature and process variation, with typical values ranging from 140ms to 280ms per the Reset Timeout Period table. The timeout begins when VCC rises above the 2.50V threshold and ensures the microprocessor remains held in reset for at least 140ms to allow stable clock and memory initialization.
Can MAX6381XR25D3+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.0V, and what is the reset output behavior at that voltage?
Yes, MAX6381XR25D3+T is fully specified to operate down to VCC = 1.0V, and its reset output state is guaranteed valid at that voltage. As stated in the Features list and Electrical Characteristics, the open-drain RESET output maintains VOL ≤0.3V when sinking 80µA - ensuring a solid logic-low assertion even during deep brownout. This behavior is critical for preventing erratic MCU operation during power collapse.
Is MAX6381XR25D3+T RoHS-compliant and what package type does it use?
Yes, MAX6381XR25D3+T is RoHS-compliant, indicated by the "+" suffix in its part number. It uses a 3-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm with 0.65mm lead pitch. The package drawing and thermal data confirm it is lead(Pb)-free and qualified for reflow soldering up to +260°C.
