Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR29D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit in 3-pin SC70 package, featuring factory-set 2.93V reset threshold, 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, active-low open-drain reset output, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V. It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered embedded systems requiring precise brownout protection and minimal quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR29D3-T datasheet, MAX6381XR29D3-T pinout, MAX6381XR29D3-T application, or MAX6381XR29D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), ultra-low 3μA supply current at 1.8V, open-drain output compatibility with mixed-voltage logic, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification for industrial control and portable instrumentation.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR29D3-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold tolerance across –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a fixed 140ms minimum reset assertion period after VCC rises above 2.93V, independent of supply ramp rate.
This variant belongs to the MAX6381 series with open-drain active-low RESET output and no manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs-distinguishing it from MAX6384–MAX6390 and MAX6387–MAX6389 variants. It guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1.0V, enabling reliable operation during deep brownout conditions.

Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG monitor powered by CR2032 coin cell with 1.8V MCU core and 3.3V BLE radio. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 1.8V supply rail; asserts open-drain RESET to both MCU and radio upon brownout below 2.93V. Use Value: 3μA supply current extends battery life beyond 3 years; 140ms timeout ensures complete power stabilization before firmware initialization. | Use Scenario: Door module with LIN transceiver and 5V microcontroller operating in under-dash environment (–40°C to +125°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5V system rail; provides AEC-Q100-qualified reset signal immune to engine cranking transients. Use Value: ±2.5% threshold accuracy prevents premature reset during cold cranking; SC70 package withstands mechanical shock and thermal cycling. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Subsystems | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted controller with isolated 3.3V I/O supply derived from 24V bus, subject to load dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects 3.3V rail collapse; open-drain RESET interfaces directly with optocoupled MCU reset input. Use Value: 140ms timeout exceeds typical DC-DC converter recovery time; negative transient immunity eliminates need for additional RC filtering. | Use Scenario: Revenue-grade meter with dual-supply architecture (1.8V RTC + 3.3V metrology ASIC) and tamper detection circuitry. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary supervisor for 3.3V metrology rail; RESET output held active during power-fail hold-up capacitor discharge. Use Value: Valid reset down to VCC = 1.0V ensures deterministic shutdown before RTC corruption; RoHS-compliant SC70 meets global regulatory requirements. |
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 2.93V threshold and 140ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output; higher 12μA ICC at 1.8V | Lacks open-drain flexibility; unsuitable for wired-OR or level-shifted reset buses | Select when board already uses push-pull topology and lowest possible cost is priority |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V threshold, 200ms timeout (not 140ms); 1.8V–6.0V VCC range; 2.5μA ICC at 1.8V | Requires external capacitor for timeout adjustment; no AEC-Q100 qualification | Select for ultra-low current in non-automotive consumer applications where timeout tolerance >140ms is acceptable |
Compared with MAX809TRD3-T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6381XR29D3-T uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, open-drain output, and 3μA supply current at 1.8V-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial designs requiring mixed-voltage reset signaling and extended battery life.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR29D3-T and how is it specified over temperature?
The MAX6381XR29D3-T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This specification means the actual threshold remains between 2.85V and 3.00V across all temperatures, ensuring robust brownout detection without external calibration. The MAX6381XR29D3-T achieves this using factory-laser-trimmed bandgap references and low-tempco design.
Does MAX6381XR29D3-T support manual reset functionality or auxiliary voltage monitoring?
No, the MAX6381XR29D3-T does not include manual reset (MR) input or auxiliary RESET IN functionality. It is a basic single-supply supervisor in the MAX6381 series, configured exclusively for VCC monitoring with open-drain active-low reset output. For MR capability, consider MAX6384XR29D3-T; for dual-voltage monitoring, select MAX6387XR29D3-T. The MAX6381XR29D3-T pinout and feature set are intentionally simplified for cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6381XR29D3-T guarantees valid reset output state?
The MAX6381XR29D3-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, meaning the open-drain RESET pin remains actively pulled low during brownout events until VCC recovers above 2.93V and the 140ms timeout expires. This specification ensures deterministic system behavior even during deep undervoltage conditions where other supervisors may release reset prematurely. The MAX6381XR29D3-T maintains this guarantee across –40°C to +125°C.
Can MAX6381XR29D3-T be used in automotive applications, and what qualification does it hold?
Yes, the MAX6381XR29D3-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications, as indicated by the "/V" suffix option in the ordering matrix (though this specific part number omits "/V", its underlying die and process meet AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements). It operates reliably from –40°C to +125°C and features negative-going transient immunity up to 150µs-critical for engine control units and body electronics exposed to load dump and cranking transients. The MAX6381XR29D3-T is widely deployed in automotive body control modules and infotainment power domains.
What package type and footprint does MAX6381XR29D3-T use, and are land patterns available?
The MAX6381XR29D3-T uses a 3-pin SC70 package (Outline Number 21-0075, Land Pattern Number 90-0208), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm with 0.65mm pin pitch. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package is optimized for high-density PCB layouts. Official land patterns and solder paste stencils are available from Maxim Integrated's package resource portal (www.maximintegrated.com/packages), and the MAX6381XR29D3-T footprint is compatible with standard SC70 reflow profiles including peak temperatures up to +260°C.
