Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR27D3+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.70V reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, active-low open-drain reset output, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V. It monitors single supply voltage in portable/battery-powered systems and embedded controllers requiring precise brownout detection and ultra-low quiescent current (3µA at 1.8V).
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR27D3+ datasheet, MAX6381XR27D3+ pinout, MAX6381XR27D3+ application, or MAX6381XR27D3+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SC70-3 package mapping, reset timing behavior under temperature variation, manual reset compatibility notes, and validated alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR27D3+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a fixed 140ms minimum reset assertion period after VCC recovers above 2.70V.
This variant belongs to the MAX6381–MAX6390 family's 3-pin SC70 configuration and features an open-drain RESET output requiring external pull-up, no MR input, and no auxiliary RESET IN-distinguishing it from MAX6384/MAX6387 series variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.70V (factory-set, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C) - ensures reliable brownout detection at core logic supply levels. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - guarantees µP initialization completes before release of reset signal. |
| Supply Current | 3µA at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions. |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and level translation with external pull-up. |
| Reset Output Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC = 1.0V - maintains deterministic logic state during power collapse. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6381XR27D3+ uses the 3-pin SC70-3 (X3-2) package: 0.65mm pitch, 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint, 0.8mm max height. Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = RESET (open-drain), Pin 3 = GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage source - powers internal circuitry and sets reset trigger point. |
| Pin 2 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output - requires external pull-up resistor; asserts low during VCC undervoltage or fault. |
| Pin 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 | 2.70V with ±2.5% tolerance across full temperature range - eliminates external resistor network calibration. |
| Ultra-low supply current | 3µA at 1.8V - reduces standby power in energy-constrained IoT sensor nodes and wearables. |
| Open-drain RESET output | Supports multi-source reset bus sharing and voltage-level translation up to 5.5V - simplifies integration with mixed-voltage SoCs. |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects sub-10µs VCC glitches below reset threshold - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments. |
| Valid reset down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures deterministic state during rapid power collapse - critical for fail-safe shutdown in safety-critical systems. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose monitor with ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU operating from 2.8V Li-ion cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors VCC and asserts open-drain RESET to hold MCU in reset until stable 2.70V supply is confirmed post-power-up. Use Value: 3µA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 3 years; 140ms timeout ensures complete flash initialization before firmware execution. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted analog input module with isolated 3.3V logic rail powered from 24V DC bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects brownout on 3.3V rail and forces controlled reset of FPGA-based data acquisition engine. Use Value: ±2.5% threshold accuracy prevents false resets during nominal 3.3V ripple; open-drain output interfaces directly with FPGA reset pin. |
| Automotive Body Control Units | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: Door module MCU supplied from vehicle battery via LDO, subject to load-dump and cold-crank transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides robust VCC supervision with glitch immunity to suppress resets during <10µs negative spikes. Use Value: Valid operation down to 1.0V ensures reset remains asserted through cold-crank voltage sag to 6V; 125°C rating supports under-dash placement. |
Use Scenario: Revenue-grade electricity meter with dual-supply architecture (3.3V MCU + 5.0V RTC/sensor rail). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises primary 3.3V rail and coordinates safe shutdown sequence when mains power fails. Use Value: 140ms timeout aligns with EEPROM write cycle time; SC70-3 footprint minimizes PCB area in space-constrained meter housing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326TAKD3+T | Same 2.7V threshold and 140ms timeout, but in SOT23-3 package with push-pull active-low output. | Requires PCB redesign due to different pinout and drive strength; no external pull-up needed. | Select when board layout allows SOT23-3 and push-pull drive simplifies BOM. |
| TPS3123E18DBVR | 2.7V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.8V–5.5V range, 1.6µA ICC at 1.8V, open-drain output. | Lower supply current but longer timeout; TI qualification for extended temperature not identical. | Prefer for ultra-low-power designs where 60ms longer reset window is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX6381XR27D3+, MAX6326TAKD3+T offers integrated push-pull drive eliminating external components but demands layout change, while TPS3123E18DBVR reduces current by 47% at cost of timing margin and automotive qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR27D3+?
The MAX6381XR27D3+ has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.70V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed during production and documented in the Reset Thresholds table of the official datasheet. The '27' suffix in MAX6381XR27D3+ explicitly denotes the 2.70V threshold variant.
Does MAX6381XR27D3+ include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, MAX6381XR27D3+ does not feature a manual reset input. It is a basic single-supply supervisory device with only VCC, RESET, and GND pins. Manual reset capability is present only in MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386/MAX6390 variants, which use 4-pin SC70 or 6-pin µDFN packages and include dedicated MR pins.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6381XR27D3+ use?
MAX6381XR27D3+ is packaged in the 3-pin SC70-3 (package code X3-2), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm with 0.65mm lead pitch and maximum height of 0.8mm. This ultra-small outline is optimized for space-constrained portable electronics and conforms to JEDEC MO-203-AB standards.
Can MAX6381XR27D3+ monitor a second voltage rail?
No, MAX6381XR27D3+ monitors only the VCC supply rail. Auxiliary voltage monitoring via RESET IN is exclusive to MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 variants, which use 4-pin SC70 or 6-pin µDFN packages and include a dedicated RESET IN pin referenced to an internal 1.27V comparator.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6381XR27D3+ guarantees correct RESET output state?
MAX6381XR27D3+ guarantees valid RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. This means the open-drain output remains actively pulled low during undervoltage events and transitions predictably upon recovery - a critical feature for fail-safe operation in systems experiencing deep brownouts.
