Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR26D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 3-pin SC70 package, featuring a factory-set 2.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and active-low push-pull reset output. It monitors single-supply voltages from +1.8V to +5.0V while consuming only 3μA at +1.8V, and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V - ideal for battery-powered microcontroller power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR26D3+T datasheet, MAX6381XR26D3+T pinout, MAX6381XR26D3+T application, or MAX6381XR26D3+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its precise 2.63V threshold tolerance, 140ms reset hold time, SC70 footprint compatibility with legacy MAX809/MAX6326 families, and guaranteed operation across automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
This device implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over full temperature range and 60ppm/°C tempco, paired with a digitally controlled monostable timer that enforces a fixed 140ms minimum reset assertion after VCC recovery. The push-pull output drives low during reset and high otherwise, eliminating need for external pullup.
No manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs are present - confirming MAX6381XR26D3+T is a dedicated single-supply, no-external-control variant within the MAX6381–MAX6390 family, distinct from MR-equipped MAX6384–MAX6386 or dual-monitor MAX6387–MAX6389 variants.

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 2.63V threshold and 140ms timeout, but rated only to +85°C (not automotive-grade) | Limited to commercial/industrial ambient, not suitable for under-hood or extended-temperature deployments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs temperature requirement and AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary |
| TLV803EB26DBZR | 2.64V threshold (±1%), 140ms timeout, 1.8V–6V operation, but 5μA typical ICC at +1.8V (vs. 3μA) | Higher supply current reduces battery lifetime in ultra-low-power designs; identical SC70 footprint | Choose if tighter threshold tolerance is prioritized over quiescent current in non-battery-critical systems |
Compared with MAX809TRD3+T and TLV803EB26DBZR, MAX6381XR26D3+T uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 3μA ultra-low ICC, and guaranteed 1V operation - making it the only option among the three validated for automotive body electronics with multi-year battery operation.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR26D3+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6381XR26D3+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the datasheet, where VTH min/max values are listed as 2.56V and 2.69V at +25°C, and maintained across temperature via 60ppm/°C tempco.
Does MAX6381XR26D3+T include a manual reset input (MR) pin?
No, MAX6381XR26D3+T does not include a manual reset input. It belongs to the MAX6381/MAX6382/MAX6383 subgroup, which lacks MR functionality - unlike MAX6384–MAX6386 or MAX6390. Pin 2 is VCC, Pin 1 is RESET, and Pin 3 is GND; no MR terminal is present or internally connected.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6381XR26D3+T guarantees correct reset output behavior?
MAX6381XR26D3+T guarantees valid reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as explicitly stated in both the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Detailed Description sections. Below 1.0V, reset behavior is not characterized - but at 1.0V and above, the push-pull output maintains correct active-low assertion and deassertion timing.
Is MAX6381XR26D3+T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs like MAX809?
Yes, MAX6381XR26D3+T is pin-compatible with MAX809TRD3+T and other members of the MAX809/MAX810 family in the 3-pin SC70 package. Both share identical pinout (Pin 1 = RESET, Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = GND) and footprint (Outline 21-0075), enabling drop-in replacement without PCB modification - provided the temperature and qualification requirements align.
What reset timeout period is implemented in MAX6381XR26D3+T, and is it adjustable?
MAX6381XR26D3+T implements a fixed 140ms minimum reset timeout period (suffix "D3"), as defined in the Reset Timeout Delay table. This value is factory-programmed and non-adjustable - no external capacitor or resistor can modify the delay. The actual timeout may extend up to 280ms depending on process and temperature, but the guaranteed minimum remains 140ms.
