Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR46D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 3-pin SC70 package, featuring a factory-set 4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 20ms minimum reset timeout, and active-low open-drain 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.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR46D2-T datasheet, MAX6381XR46D2-T pinout, MAX6381XR46D2-T application, or MAX6381XR46D2-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its precise 4.63V VTH tolerance, 20ms reset hold time, open-drain output requiring external pullup, absence of manual reset input, and compatibility with dual-voltage systems where auxiliary monitoring is not required.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR46D2-T implements a precision voltage comparator with internal 4.63V reference and hysteresis, triggering reset when VCC falls below threshold and holding it for ≥20ms after recovery. Its open-drain RESET output supports flexible logic-level interfacing across mixed-voltage systems.
No manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs are integrated - this variant is optimized for single-rail, fixed-threshold supervision without user-initiated or secondary-voltage monitoring capability. Reset assertion is guaranteed functional down to VCC = 1V, enabling robust brownout detection in low-voltage embedded designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V (nominal), ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable detection of 5V rail collapse with minimal false triggers. |
| Reset Timeout | 20ms (minimum) - provides sufficient hold time for microcontroller core initialization before release. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors. |
| Operating Voltage | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports valid reset assertion during deep brownout down to 1V, critical for graceful shutdown. |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - requires external pullup; allows wired-OR configuration and level translation to higher logic rails. |
| Package | 3-pin SC70 (X3+2 outline) - ultra-small footprint (1.25mm × 0.85mm) for space-constrained portable PCBs. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
3-pin SC70 package (Outline Number 21-0075, Land Pattern 90-0208), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; must be pulled up externally to define high state; sinks current only when asserted. |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input; monitored for reset condition; operates from 1.0V to 5.5V. |
| 3 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; connects to system common return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision reset threshold | 4.63V nominal with ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates need for external trimming in 5V-system brownout protection. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on edge nodes without compromising supervision reliability. |
| Valid reset down to 1V VCC | Guaranteed correct logic state even as supply collapses - prevents premature release during power-down sequences. |
| Open-drain output architecture | Enables shared reset bus across multiple voltage domains and supports I²C-style wired-OR topology. |
| High transient immunity | Rejects negative-going VCC glitches ≤100µs at 100mV overdrive - reduces false resets in electrically noisy environments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Power Sequencing | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Supervising 5V microcontroller supply during cold-crank battery dip (down to 6V system). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-rail reset supervisor asserting active-low signal until VCC recovers above 4.63V and holds for ≥20ms. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption by ensuring MCU remains held in reset during unstable 5V rail recovery after engine start. | Use Scenario: Monitoring 5V supply to body ECU in ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed-threshold voltage monitor with guaranteed operation across full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 range. Use Value: Delivers automotive-grade reliability without calibration or external components - simplifies qualification testing. |
| Portable Medical Sensor Node | Smart Meter Backup Power Switchover |
Use Scenario: Enabling safe boot of ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU powered by Li-SOCl₂ primary cell (nominal 3.6V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-current supervisor asserting reset if VCC drops below 4.63V due to load surge or aging. Use Value: 3μA supply current extends 10-year battery life; 20ms timeout accommodates slow LDO startup. | Use Scenario: Detecting main AC supply failure and initiating switchover to supercapacitor backup in utility meter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-accuracy 4.63V threshold detector triggering controlled shutdown sequence upon 5V rail collapse. Use Value: ±2.5% VTH tolerance ensures consistent switchover point across temperature - avoids premature or delayed backup activation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR46D2+T | Same 4.63V threshold, 20ms timeout, 3-pin SC70, but push-pull active-low output (no external pullup needed). | Lacks open-drain flexibility; incompatible with wired-OR or level-shifted reset buses. | Select when board layout prohibits external pullup or when driving single-load CMOS reset input directly. |
| TLV809E46DBZR | 4.63V threshold, 200ms min timeout, SOT-23-3, push-pull active-low; higher ICC (0.5μA typ at 3.3V, but no 1.8V spec). | Longer timeout limits use in fast-boot systems; no -40°C to +125°C rating (only -40°C to +125°C for some variants, not guaranteed). | Consider only for commercial-temp, non-battery-critical applications where longer reset hold is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX6326XR46D2+T, the MAX6381XR46D2-T trades push-pull convenience for open-drain interoperability; versus TLV809E46DBZR, it delivers superior temperature coverage, lower 1.8V current, and tighter VTH accuracy - making it the preferred choice for extended-temperature, ultra-low-power, or multi-rail designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6381XR46D2-T?
The MAX6381XR46D2-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed accuracy 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 "46"), and applies specifically to the MAX6381XR46D2-T - not inferred from adjacent variants.
Does the MAX6381XR46D2-T include a manual reset input (MR)?
No, the MAX6381XR46D2-T does not feature a manual reset input. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations, MR is only present on MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386/MAX6390 variants. The MAX6381XR46D2-T is a dedicated single-supply supervisor with RESET and VCC/GND pins only.
What is the function of the RESET pin on the MAX6381XR46D2-T?
The RESET pin on the MAX6381XR46D2-T is an active-low open-drain output. It pulls low when VCC falls below 4.63V and remains low for ≥20ms after VCC rises above threshold. An external pullup resistor is mandatory to establish the high state - this enables wired-OR configurations and voltage-level translation.
Can the MAX6381XR46D2-T operate reliably at VCC = 1.0V?
Yes, the MAX6381XR46D2-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. This ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout conditions - a key differentiator from many competing supervisors that fail below 1.5V.
Is the MAX6381XR46D2-T qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX6381XR46D2-T carries the "/V" suffix option (e.g., MAX6381XR46D2/V+T) for AEC-Q100 qualification, but the base part number MAX6381XR46D2-T itself is not automotive-qualified. Its -40°C to +125°C operating range meets automotive ambient requirements, yet formal qualification requires explicit /V marking and associated test documentation.
