Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR27D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 3-pin SC70 package, featuring a factory-set 2.70V 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 with only 3μA supply current at +1.8V and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V - used in battery-powered instrumentation and embedded controllers requiring reliable power-on reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR27D3+T datasheet, MAX6381XR27D3+T pinout, MAX6381XR27D3+T application, or MAX6381XR27D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, timeout timing tolerance, open-drain drive capability (3.2mA sink at VCC ≥ 4.5V), and compatibility with 1.8V–5.5V logic domains in space-constrained industrial and portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR27D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature and 60ppm/°C tempco, paired with a temperature-stable RC timer for deterministic 140ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and remains valid down to VCC = 1V, enabling robust reset signaling even during deep brownout conditions.
No manual reset (MR) input or auxiliary RESET IN is present - this variant belongs to the base MAX6381 series (3-pin SC70, no MR, no dual-monitoring), distinguishing it from MAX6384–MAX6390 variants with MR and MAX6387–MAX6389 with RESET IN. It is AEC-Q100 qualified only in /V-trim versions, not applicable to this standard +T RoHS-compliant part.

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 3-pin SC70 package, 2.63V reset threshold (±2%), 140ms timeout, push-pull active-low output. | Lacks open-drain flexibility; cannot share reset bus; higher ICC (15μA typical at 3.6V). | Select when board-level reset is dedicated and lower quiescent current is not critical. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3-pin SOT-23, 3.3V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms timeout, open-drain active-low, 1.5μA ICC at 3.3V. | Higher threshold voltage; tighter accuracy but incompatible with 2.7V rail monitoring; different footprint. | Select when higher accuracy and lower current are prioritized over exact 2.7V threshold match and SC70 compatibility. |
Compared with MAX809TRD3+T, MAX6381XR27D3+T offers lower supply current and open-drain flexibility at the cost of slightly relaxed threshold accuracy; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides precise 2.70V detection and SC70 footprint compatibility but consumes more current and has looser threshold tolerance.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR27D3+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6381XR27D3+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.70V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This means the actual threshold falls between 2.63V and 2.77V at any temperature within spec, ensuring reliable detection of 2.7V supply faults without false triggers due to drift.
Does MAX6381XR27D3+T include a manual reset input (MR) pin?
No, MAX6381XR27D3+T does not include a manual reset input. It belongs to the base MAX6381 series (3-pin SC70 configuration), which lacks MR functionality. Variants like MAX6384XR27D3+T or MAX6390XR27D3+T add MR, but MAX6381XR27D3+T is strictly a VCC-only supervisory device with RESET and GND pins.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6381XR27D3+T guarantees correct reset output behavior?
MAX6381XR27D3+T guarantees valid reset output state down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this, the internal circuitry may not function reliably - however, the open-drain RESET output remains functional (sinking current) as long as VCC ≥ 1.0V, enabling safe reset assertion during deep brownout conditions before complete power loss.
Can MAX6381XR27D3+T be used in automotive applications?
MAX6381XR27D3+T itself is not automotive-qualified; it carries the "+T" RoHS-compliant suffix but no "/V" trim. Automotive-grade versions (e.g., MAX6381XR27D3/V+T) are AEC-Q100 qualified and specified for -40°C to +125°C operation with enhanced reliability testing - use those variants for under-hood or infotainment systems requiring automotive certification.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6381XR27D3+T use, and is it compatible with standard reflow profiles?
MAX6381XR27D3+T uses a 3-pin SC70 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm, 0.5mm pitch, outline 21-0075). It is RoHS-compliant (+T suffix) and rated for standard lead-free reflow (peak solder temperature +260°C per JEDEC J-STD-020), with maximum lead temperature of +300°C for 10 seconds - fully compatible with automated SMT assembly lines.
