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 (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and active-low open-drain reset output. It monitors single supply voltage down to +1.8V with only 3μA supply current at 1.8V, and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V - ideal for battery-powered embedded controllers requiring reliable brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR29D3+T datasheet, MAX6381XR29D3+T pinout, MAX6381XR29D3+T application, or MAX6381XR29D3+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-drain reset architecture, 2.93V threshold tolerance, 140ms timeout timing, and compatibility with dual-voltage monitoring systems when paired with external resistor dividers.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR29D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across -40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a guaranteed-minimum 140ms reset assertion after VCC recovers above 2.93V, independent of supply ramp rate.
This variant belongs to the MAX6381–MAX6390 family's open-drain active-low subgroup (MAX6383/MAX6386/MAX6389/MAX6390) and lacks manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs - confirming it is a dedicated single-supply monitor with minimal external components required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V nominal (2.85V min / 3.00V max at +25°C); ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range ensures robust brownout detection in industrial environments. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; enables operation during deep brownout and supports wide-input power rails including Li-ion battery-backed systems. |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum (D3 suffix); guarantees μP remains held in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling before code execution resumes. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V; ultra-low quiescent draw extends battery life in portable instrumentation and remote sensors. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low open-drain; requires external pullup but allows wired-OR configuration and level translation across mixed-voltage domains. |
| Reset Valid Down To | VCC = 1.0V; ensures deterministic reset logic state even during severe undervoltage conditions where many competitors fail. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control applications without derating. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6381XR29D3+T uses a 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. Pin 1 is RESET (active-low open-drain), Pin 2 is VCC, and Pin 3 is GND. No internal connections exist for MR or RESET IN - all unused pins are omitted in this 3-pin variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Drives low to assert reset; requires external pullup resistor (typically 10kΩ–100kΩ) to host VDD; compatible with 1.8V–5V logic domains. |
| 2: VCC | Power supply input and monitored voltage rail | Both powers the IC and serves as primary reset trigger source; accepts 1.0V–5.5V with no external components needed for basic operation. |
| 3: GND | Ground reference | Common return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to avoid noise-induced false resets. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.93V with ±2.5% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration. |
| Ultra-low supply current | 3μA at 1.8V enables multi-year operation on coin cells in IoT endpoint devices and portable medical sensors. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET output remains logically valid down to VCC = 1.0V - critical for fail-safe behavior during catastrophic supply collapse. |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤100µs duration when overdrive exceeds 100mV, reducing susceptibility to EMI-induced spurious resets. |
| Small-footprint packaging | 3-pin SC70 (2.0mm × 2.1mm) saves PCB area in space-constrained modules like wearables and smart meters. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR29D3+T | Same 2.93V threshold and 140ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output; higher ICC (7μA at 1.8V) | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor; unsuitable for wired-OR or level-shifted reset buses | Select when board layout prohibits external pullup or when driving capacitive loads >50pF directly |
| TLV803EB29DBZR | 2.93V threshold, 140ms timeout, open-drain active-low; higher ICC (1.8μA typ at 1.8V), wider temp range (-40°C to +125°C) | Lower supply current but tighter 1.5% threshold accuracy; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6381XR29D3+T, MAX6326XR29D3+T offers integrated push-pull drive at the expense of higher quiescent current and loss of bus-sharing capability, while TLV803EB29DBZR provides lower ICC and tighter threshold tolerance but lacks automotive qualification and long-term Maxim supply chain support.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR29D3+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6381XR29D3+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with a guaranteed range of 2.85V (min) to 3.00V (max) at +25°C. Over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, the threshold maintains ±2.5% accuracy relative to the nominal value, corresponding to 2.858V to 3.002V at +25°C and scaling linearly with temperature via 60ppm/°C tempco.
Does MAX6381XR29D3+T include a manual reset input (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN pin?
No, MAX6381XR29D3+T does not include a manual reset input or auxiliary RESET IN pin. As a member of the MAX6381/MAX6382/MAX6383 subgroup, it is a dedicated single-supply supervisor with only three terminals: RESET (open-drain active-low), VCC, and GND. Manual reset functionality is available only in MAX6384–MAX6386 and MAX6390 variants, while RESET IN is exclusive to MAX6387–MAX6389.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6381XR29D3+T guarantees correct reset output logic state?
MAX6381XR29D3+T guarantees that its RESET output remains in a valid logic state - specifically, high-impedance (not asserted) when inactive and capable of pulling low when asserted - down to VCC = 1.0V. This ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout events where other supervisors may enter undefined states or oscillate.
Can MAX6381XR29D3+T be used in automotive applications, and what qualification does it hold?
Yes, MAX6381XR29D3+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. The "/V" suffix denotes automotive qualification, and although MAX6381XR29D3+T itself carries the "+T" RoHS-compliant marking, its underlying die and process meet AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements (-40°C to +125°C), making it suitable for body control, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems where reliability under thermal stress is critical.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for VCC and RESET pins on MAX6381XR29D3+T?
The absolute maximum rating for VCC is -0.3V to +6.0V relative to GND. For the open-drain RESET output, the absolute maximum is -0.3V to +6.0V regardless of VCC level - enabling safe interfacing with higher-voltage logic families when used with appropriate pullup. Exceeding these limits risks permanent device damage, per Maxim's Absolute Maximum Ratings specification.
