Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR26D2+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.63V reset threshold, 20ms minimum reset timeout, active-low open-drain reset output, and operation down to VCC = 1.0V. It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered embedded systems, portable instruments, and industrial controllers requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR26D2+T datasheet, MAX6381XR26D2+T pinout, MAX6381XR26D2+T application, or MAX6381XR26D2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), ultra-low 3μA supply current at 1.8V, SC70-3 package footprint, and guaranteed reset validity at VCC ≥ 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR26D2+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold tolerance across –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a fixed 20ms minimum reset assertion period after VCC rises above 2.63V.
No manual reset input or auxiliary voltage monitor is present - this variant is a minimal-function, single-supply reset detector optimized for space-constrained applications where only VCC supervision is required and open-drain output compatibility with legacy reset buses is essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V nominal (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable detection of 2.5V–2.7V supply brownout |
| Reset Timeout | 20ms minimum; guarantees μP remains held in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 1.8V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring nodes |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports valid reset assertion even during deep discharge of Li-ion or coin-cell sources |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain; requires external pullup, enabling wired-OR reset bus configuration |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 35μs (VCC falling at 10mV/µs); fast response to rapid supply collapse |
Pinout & Package
MAX6381XR26D2+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V; requires external pullup resistor |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input and monitored voltage source; accepts 1.0V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and reset comparator |
| 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 | 2.63V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V enables integration into energy-harvesting and coin-cell-powered devices without compromising runtime |
| Valid reset output down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures deterministic μP reset state during deep brownout, preventing undefined instruction execution |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects sub-100μs VCC glitches up to 200mV below threshold, reducing false resets in noisy power environments |
| Open-drain output architecture | Supports multi-source reset bus sharing and level translation across mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3V logic driving 5V reset line) |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|

Use Value: Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V ensures safe shutdown during battery backup switchover; SC70-3 footprint saves PCB area in sealed meter housing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2+T | Same 2.63V threshold and 20ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output; no open-drain capability | Requires dedicated reset line; incompatible with wired-OR bus topologies | Select when board layout lacks space for external pullup or system uses single-source reset only |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 2.63V threshold, 20ms timeout, open-drain output; higher 8μA ICC at 1.8V; supports enable pin | Includes EN input for power-gating control; not qualified to AEC-Q100 | Select when system requires programmable reset enable/disable or higher drive strength (8mA sink) |
Compared with MAX6381XR26D2+T, MAX809TRD2+T offers simpler interface but lacks bus-sharing flexibility, while TPS3808G12DBVR adds control features at the cost of higher current and no automotive qualification - making MAX6381XR26D2+T optimal for space-, power-, and reliability-constrained wired-OR reset applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR26D2+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6381XR26D2+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This means the actual threshold falls between 2.56V and 2.69V at any temperature within that range, ensuring robust brownout detection without external calibration. The MAX6381XR26D2+T achieves this using factory laser trimming of an internal bandgap reference.
Does MAX6381XR26D2+T support manual reset functionality?
No, the MAX6381XR26D2+T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. It is a minimal-feature variant in the MAX6381–MAX6390 family designed exclusively for VCC-only supervision with open-drain output. For manual reset capability, consider MAX6384XR26D2+T (active-low push-pull) or MAX6390XR26D2+T (open-drain with MR), both sharing the same 2.63V/20ms configuration but adding the MR pin.
Can MAX6381XR26D2+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.8V?
Yes, the MAX6381XR26D2+T is fully functional and guarantees correct reset output behavior down to VCC = 1.0V. Its internal circuitry remains active and the open-drain RESET output maintains valid logic states (high-impedance or pulled low) even at 1.0V supply - a key feature for applications involving deeply discharged batteries or ultra-low-voltage systems. This is explicitly verified in the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6381XR26D2+T use?
MAX6381XR26D2+T is supplied in a 3-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0075), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with a 0.65mm pitch. It features RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free terminations and is compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles (peak 260°C). The land pattern is documented as 90-0208 on Maxim's packaging site.
Is MAX6381XR26D2+T qualified for automotive applications?
The base MAX6381XR26D2+T is not automotive-qualified; however, the functionally identical automotive-grade variant MAX6381XR26D2/V+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) operation. Both share identical electrical specifications and SC70-3 packaging, differing only in test documentation and traceability - the /V suffix denotes automotive qualification and is required for automotive production programs.
