Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR31D1+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 3.08V reset threshold, 1ms minimum reset timeout, active-low open-drain reset output, and operation down to VCC = 1.0V. It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered embedded systems, guarantees valid reset assertion during brownout, and consumes only 3μA at +1.8V. Used in portable instrumentation and critical μP power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR31D1+T datasheet, MAX6381XR31D1+T pinout, MAX6381XR31D1+T application, or MAX6381XR31D1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C), VCC-to-reset delay (35µs), guaranteed reset validity at VCC ≥ 1V, and SC70-3 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR31D1+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, paired with a monolithic RC timer for deterministic 1ms reset timeout. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and asserts low when VCC falls below 3.08V, remaining asserted for ≥1ms after VCC recovers.
No manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs are present - this variant is a minimal 3-pin configuration optimized for single-supply monitoring. The device operates across full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and supports supply voltages from 1.0V to 5.5V, ensuring robustness in low-voltage microcontroller applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V nominal (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable detection of 3.3V rail brownout before µP malfunction. |
| Reset Timeout | 1ms minimum; provides sufficient hold time for µP internal state stabilization after power recovery. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable medical devices. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports direct interface with 1.2V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| VCC-to-RESET Delay | 35µs; fast response to rapid negative transients, minimizing false resets during switching noise. |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain; allows wired-OR reset bus sharing and flexible pullup voltage selection (e.g., 1.8V or 3.3V). |
| Package | 3-pin SC70 (X3+2 outline); 1.25mm × 0.8mm footprint ideal for wearables and ultra-compact IoT modules. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6381XR31D1+T uses a 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208) with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 = RESET (active-low open-drain), Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low when VCC < 3.08V; requires external pullup resistor; sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V. |
| 2 - VCC | Power supply input | Monitored voltage source; also powers internal circuitry; absolute max rating −0.3V to +6.0V. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for VCC and RESET; must be low-impedance to ensure accurate threshold detection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.08V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor network and calibration effort. |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤35µs duration at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy DC-DC environments. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery runtime in coin-cell–powered remote sensors and asset trackers. |
| Valid reset output down to VCC = 1.0V | Guaranteed logic state integrity during deep brownout - ensures µP remains held in reset until stable supply returns. |
| SC70-3 footprint compatibility | Pins match industry-standard 3-pin supervisory ICs (e.g., MAX809 series) - enables drop-in replacement on existing layouts. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Battery-Powered Data Loggers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous ECG monitoring using coin-cell power with intermittent BLE transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.0V analog front-end and 1.8V MCU core; asserts reset if battery drops below 2.9V.

Use Value: Reduces field return rate by preventing persistent lockup after transient faults, meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance. |
Use Scenario: Door module with LIN transceiver and 12V-to-1.2V/3.3V PMIC supplying MCU and CAN PHY. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3V domain feeding LIN controller; asserts reset during cold-crank (4.5V battery dip) to prevent bus arbitration errors. Use Value: Ensures deterministic LIN node reinitialization within 100ms of cranking completion, satisfying ISO 14229-1 diagnostic timing requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD1+T | Same 3-pin SC70 package, 3.08V threshold, but push-pull active-low output; higher ICC (12μA at 3.6V). | Lacks open-drain flexibility; cannot share reset bus with other supervisors or drive mixed-voltage logic. | Select when board already uses push-pull reset architecture and lowest possible BOM count is critical. |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | 3.0V threshold (±0.5%), 20ms min timeout, SOT-23-5 package; includes manual reset input and tighter tempco (30ppm/°C). | Requires PCB redesign (5-pin vs 3-pin); adds MR functionality unnecessary in fixed-supply applications. | Choose when higher threshold accuracy and longer timeout are required for safety-critical firmware validation. |
Compared with MAX809TRD1+T and TPS3808G30DBVR, MAX6381XR31D1+T offers optimal trade-off of ultra-low power (3μA), open-drain flexibility, and minimal footprint - making it preferred for battery-constrained, space-limited designs where reset bus sharing or mixed-voltage interfacing is needed.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6381XR31D1+T?
The MAX6381XR31D1+T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet (suffix "31" corresponds to VTH = 3.00V min / 3.08V nom / 3.15V max), and applies specifically to the MAX6381XR31D1+T variant.
Does MAX6381XR31D1+T support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6381XR31D1+T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. It is a 3-pin variant (RESET, VCC, GND) with no MR or RESET IN pins. Manual reset capability is only available in 4-pin SC70 or 6-pin µDFN variants such as MAX6384XRxxDx+T or MAX6390XSxxDx+T - confirmed by the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations section.
What is the minimum reset timeout period for MAX6381XR31D1+T?
The MAX6381XR31D1+T has a minimum reset timeout period of 1ms, as indicated by the "D1" suffix in its part number. This is verified in the Reset Timeout Delay table, where D1 specifies tRP = 1ms (min) / 2ms (max), and is consistent across all MAX6381 variants with that timing code.
Can MAX6381XR31D1+T operate with supply voltages below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6381XR31D1+T operates from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V. Its supply current is specified down to 1.0V (3–6μA), and the reset output remains guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1.0V - a key specification explicitly stated in the Electrical Characteristics table and Detailed Description section.
Is MAX6381XR31D1+T qualified for automotive applications?
No, MAX6381XR31D1+T is not automotive-qualified. Automotive versions carry the "/V" suffix (e.g., MAX6381XR31D1/V+T) and are AEC-Q100 qualified. The "+T" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant packaging only; the absence of "/V" confirms this part is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) but not certified to automotive reliability standards.
