Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR29D2+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit in 3-pin SC70 package, featuring a factory-set 2.93V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 20ms minimum reset timeout, and active-low push-pull reset output. It monitors VCC 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 microcontroller power-up sequencing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR29D2+T datasheet, MAX6381XR29D2+T pinout, MAX6381XR29D2+T application, or MAX6381XR29D2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 2.93V threshold accuracy, 20ms timeout timing, SC70 footprint compatibility with legacy MAX809/MAX810, and guaranteed operation at VCC ≥ 1V for brownout resilience in embedded control systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR29D2+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 for deterministic 20ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its push-pull active-low RESET output drives directly into μP reset inputs without external pullup.
No manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs are present - this variant belongs to the base MAX6381 series (not MAX6384–MAX6390 or MAX6387–MAX6389), confirming single-supply monitoring only, with no debounced MR capability or dual-voltage detection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2+T | Same 3-pin SC70 package, 2.93V threshold, but 240ms timeout (not 20ms); higher 12μA ICC at +3.6V. | Lacks short 20ms timing option; better suited for systems needing longer reset hold during slow power ramp. | Select MAX809TRD2+T only if longer timeout is acceptable and higher current draw is tolerable. |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 2.93V threshold, 20ms timeout, but SOT-23-5 package with enable pin; 1.8μA ICC at +1.8V. | Requires external enable control; adds flexibility but increases routing complexity vs. 3-pin simplicity of MAX6381XR29D2+T. | Choose TPS3808G18DBVR when system-level power sequencing requires gated reset activation. |
Compared with MAX809TRD2+T and TPS3808G18DBVR, MAX6381XR29D2+T uniquely delivers 20ms timing in a minimal 3-pin SC70 footprint with ultra-low 3μA current - optimizing for compact, battery-sensitive designs where pin count and power are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR29D2+T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6381XR29D2+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with a minimum of 2.85V and maximum of 3.00V at +25°C. Over the full operating range of -40°C to +125°C, the threshold maintains ±2.5% accuracy - meaning it stays within 2.85V to 3.00V across temperature. This stability is achieved via precision bandgap referencing and laser trimming, ensuring reliable brownout detection without external calibration. The MAX6381XR29D2+T's 60ppm/°C tempco further minimizes drift in demanding thermal environments.
Does MAX6381XR29D2+T support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6381XR29D2+T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. It belongs to the base MAX6381 series, which features only VCC monitoring and an active-low push-pull RESET output. Manual reset capability is exclusive to variants like MAX6384, MAX6385, MAX6386, and MAX6390 - all of which use 4-pin SC70 or 6-pin μDFN packages. The MAX6381XR29D2+T's 3-pin SC70 configuration physically lacks the MR pin, and its internal circuitry omits the debounced input path and pullup resistor found in MR-enabled versions.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6381XR29D2+T guarantees correct reset output behavior?
The MAX6381XR29D2+T guarantees valid reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V - meaning the RESET pin will correctly assert low when VCC falls below 2.93V and remain asserted for the full 20ms timeout, even as VCC drops to 1V. This is explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and confirmed in the "Ensuring a Valid RESET Output Down to VCC = 0V" section. While operation ceases below 1V, the MAX6381XR29D2+T's design ensures fail-safe behavior through deep brownout, making it suitable for applications with unstable or decaying power sources.
Can MAX6381XR29D2+T be used in automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6381XR29D2+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use, as noted in the Features section and Ordering Information. Its -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over that range, and robust transient immunity meet requirements for body electronics and infotainment power supervision. While the base MAX6381XR29D2+T is lead-free/RoHS-compliant (+T suffix), automotive-grade versions carry the /V suffix (e.g., MAX6381XR29D2/V+T) - both share identical electrical specs and 3-pin SC70 packaging, differing only in qualification documentation and traceability.
Is MAX6381XR29D2+T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset supervisors like MAX809?
Yes, MAX6381XR29D2+T is pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810 in the 3-pin SC70 package - sharing identical pin 1 (RESET), pin 2 (VCC), and pin 3 (GND) assignments and electrical behavior. The datasheet explicitly states "Pin Compatible with MAX809/MAX810…" and confirms matching SC70 footprints (outline 21-0075). However, note that MAX809 variants typically offer different timeout options (e.g., 240ms), so while physical replacement is direct, timing behavior must be verified against system requirements before substitution. The MAX6381XR29D2+T retains full functional interoperability in existing MAX809 layouts.
