Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR26D4+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.63V reset threshold, 1120ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and active-low open-drain reset output in a 3-pin SC70 package. It monitors +1.8V to +5.0V supply rails, consumes only 3μA at +1.8V, guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V, and is used in battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR26D4+T datasheet, MAX6381XR26D4+T pinout, MAX6381XR26D4+T application, or MAX6381XR26D4+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its precise 2.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 1120ms VCC timeout, open-drain output requiring external pullup, and compatibility with dual-voltage monitoring systems via auxiliary reset input variants.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR26D4+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 1120ms reset assertion after VCC rises above 2.63V, independent of supply ramp rate.
As a member of the MAX6381–MAX6390 family, it shares core architecture with variants offering push-pull outputs, manual reset inputs, or auxiliary RESET IN comparators-but MAX6381XR26D4+T itself provides only VCC-monitored reset with no MR or RESET IN pins, confirmed by its 3-pin SC70 pinout and ordering suffix "XR" (3-pin) + "26" (2.63V) + "D4" (1120ms).
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 rail brownout with margin |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1120ms (minimum) - holds μP in reset long enough for stable clock and memory initialization |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout down to 1V |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - requires external pullup; enables wired-OR reset bus sharing across multiple ICs |
| Package | 3-pin SC70 (2.0mm × 2.1mm) - ultra-compact footprint for space-constrained portable designs |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6381XR26D4+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208) with 0.65mm pitch and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+T suffix). Pin 1 is RESET (active-low open-drain), Pin 2 is VCC, and Pin 3 is GND - no NC or MR pins present.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; must be pulled up externally to VCC or another logic rail |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input and monitored voltage source; powers internal circuitry and sets reset threshold reference |
| 3 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be connected directly to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.63V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor divider calibration |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Valid logic state maintained down to VCC = 1V - prevents spurious release during slow power-down |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches <100µs wide below threshold - avoids false resets in noisy power environments |
| Small-footprint packaging | 3-pin SC70 (2.0mm × 2.1mm) - saves >50% board area vs. SOT-23 alternatives |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR26D4+T | Same 2.63V threshold, 1120ms timeout, 3-pin SC70, but push-pull active-low output | No external pullup required; incompatible with wired-OR reset buses | Select when board layout lacks space for pullup resistor or when driving high-capacitance reset lines directly |
| TLV803EB26DBZR | 2.63V threshold, 140ms timeout, SOT-23-3, open-drain active-low, 0.5μA typical ICC | Shorter timeout; lower current; different pinout (RESET/VCC/GND vs. RESET/GND/VCC) | Select for ultra-low-power applications where 140ms reset hold suffices and pinout adaptation is feasible |
Compared with MAX6381XR26D4+T, MAX6326XR26D4+T simplifies BOM by eliminating the pullup resistor but sacrifices bus-sharing capability, while TLV803EB26DBZR reduces supply current by 83% at the cost of 88% shorter reset duration and non-pin-compatible layout.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR26D4+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6381XR26D4+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 for 2.5V and 2.8V supply rails without external calibration.
Does MAX6381XR26D4+T include a manual reset input (MR) pin?
No, MAX6381XR26D4+T does not include a manual reset input. It is a basic VCC-only supervisory device in the 3-pin SC70 package. Manual reset functionality is available only on variants such as MAX6384–MAX6386 and MAX6390, which use 4-pin SC70 or 6-pin μDFN packages and explicitly list MR in their pin descriptions.
What is the minimum VCC level at which MAX6381XR26D4+T guarantees correct reset output logic state?
MAX6381XR26D4+T guarantees valid reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this voltage, the internal circuitry may not maintain defined output behavior. This feature ensures reliable reset assertion during slow power-down sequences common in battery-backed systems.
Can MAX6381XR26D4+T monitor a second voltage rail like some other family members?
No, MAX6381XR26D4+T does not support auxiliary voltage monitoring. The RESET IN function is exclusive to MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 variants, which require at least a 4-pin SC70 or 6-pin μDFN package to accommodate the additional input pin. MAX6381XR26D4+T monitors only the VCC supply.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6381XR26D4+T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6381XR26D4+T uses a 3-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0075) measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm with 0.65mm pin pitch. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant, with JEDEC-standard thermal characteristics (θJA = 340.4°C/W on multilayer board).
