Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR28D2 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.80V 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 MAX6381XR28D2 datasheet, MAX6381XR28D2 pinout, MAX6381XR28D2 application, or MAX6381XR28D2 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SC70-3 package mapping, reset timing behavior under temperature variation, manual reset compatibility constraints, and validated alternative options for industrial and automotive-grade power monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR28D2 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 2.80V, independent of supply ramp rate.
This device uses an open-drain RESET output requiring external pull-up, supports valid logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, and provides immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive - confirmed by Typical Operating Characteristics graph toc07.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR28D2 and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6381XR28D2 has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.80V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This means the actual threshold falls between 2.73V and 2.87V under worst-case conditions, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold" with VTH = 2.80V suffix "28".
Does MAX6381XR28D2 support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6381XR28D2 does not include a manual reset (MR) input. It belongs to the MAX6381/MAX6382/MAX6383 subgroup, which lacks MR pins - only MAX6384–MAX6386 and MAX6390 feature manual reset capability. The MAX6381XR28D2 has only three pins: RESET, VCC, and GND.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6381XR28D2 use?
MAX6381XR28D2 is supplied in a lead-free 3-pin SC70 package (package code X3-2), with outline dimensions of 1.25mm × 0.85mm × 0.55mm. Pin 1 is RESET (open-drain), Pin 2 is VCC, and Pin 3 is GND - confirmed in the Pin Configurations section and Package Information pages of the datasheet.
Can MAX6381XR28D2 operate reliably at VCC = 1.0V?
Yes, MAX6381XR28D2 guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as explicitly stated in the Features list and Electrical Characteristics table. This ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout conditions where many competing supervisors fail to function.
What is the minimum reset timeout period for MAX6381XR28D2 and how is it implemented?
The MAX6381XR28D2 provides a minimum reset timeout period of 140ms (suffix D3), generated by an internal RC timer that begins counting when VCC rises above 2.80V. This timeout is monotonic over temperature (±5% variation shown in toc03) and ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization before release.
