Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR26D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit in 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 open-drain 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 embedded controllers requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR26D3-T datasheet, MAX6381XR26D3-T pinout, MAX6381XR26D3-T application, or MAX6381XR26D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its precise 2.63V threshold tolerance, 140ms reset hold time, open-drain output requiring external pullup, immunity to negative-going VCC transients, and AEC-Q100-qualified automotive variant availability.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR26D3-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across -40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco, paired with a monolithic RC timer generating a guaranteed-minimum 140ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup resistor and remains valid down to VCC = 1V, enabling robust reset signaling during deep brownout conditions.
No manual reset (MR) input or auxiliary RESET IN comparator is integrated - this variant is optimized for simple single-rail monitoring without user-initiated reset or dual-voltage supervision, distinguishing it from MAX6384–MAX6390 and MAX6387–MAX6389 family members.
Key Specifications

| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Use Value: 140ms timeout allows sufficient time for EEPROM write completion before power loss; open-drain output enables shared reset bus across multiple ICs. |
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 | 2.63V threshold, 240ms reset timeout, push-pull active-low output, same 3-pin SC70 package | Lacks open-drain flexibility; requires no external pullup but cannot be wired-OR'd | Select when simpler interface is preferred and shared reset bus is not needed. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold (not 2.63V), 200ms timeout, open-drain active-low, SOT-23-3 package | Higher threshold unsuitable for 2.5V/1.8V rails; larger SOT-23 footprint than SC70 | Select only if 3.3V rail monitoring is required and board layout accommodates larger package. |
Compared with MAX809TRD3-T, MAX6381XR26D3-T offers open-drain flexibility for bus sharing but requires external pullup; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers exact 2.63V threshold matching tighter 2.5V rail specs and superior 2.0mm × 2.1mm SC70 density for miniaturized designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6381XR26D3-T?
The MAX6381XR26D3-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet, where suffix "26" corresponds to 2.63V (min 2.56V, max 2.69V at +25°C). The MAX6381XR26D3-T uses this fixed threshold without user adjustment.
Does the MAX6381XR26D3-T include a manual reset input (MR)?
No, the MAX6381XR26D3-T 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 integrate MR. The MAX6381XR26D3-T is designed exclusively for automatic VCC monitoring with no provision for external reset initiation.
What is the function of the RESET pin on the MAX6381XR26D3-T?
The RESET pin on the MAX6381XR26D3-T is an active-low open-drain output. It pulls low when VCC drops below 2.63V and remains low for at least 140ms after VCC rises above the threshold. Because it is open-drain, an external pullup resistor is mandatory to establish a defined high state when deasserted. This configuration enables wired-OR reset buses and voltage-level translation.
Can the MAX6381XR26D3-T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX6381XR26D3-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. At 1.2V, the device fully functions: it monitors VCC against the 2.63V threshold (asserting reset when VCC < 2.63V), maintains timing accuracy, and drives the open-drain RESET pin with specified VOL. This makes the MAX6381XR26D3-T suitable for deep brownout recovery scenarios.
Is the MAX6381XR26D3-T qualified for automotive applications?
The base MAX6381XR26D3-T is not automotive-qualified; however, the variant MAX6381XR26D3/V+T (with "/V" suffix) is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. The "/V" denotes qualification to Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C) and includes additional reliability testing. For automotive designs, specify MAX6381XR26D3/V+T - the MAX6381XR26D3-T alone is intended for industrial and commercial applications.
