Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR46D2+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit in 3-pin SC70 package, featuring a factory-set 4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 20ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and active-low open-drain reset output. It monitors single supply voltage (1.0V–5.5V) and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V, used in battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR46D2+T datasheet, MAX6381XR46D2+T pinout, MAX6381XR46D2+T application, or MAX6381XR46D2+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.63V threshold accuracy, 20ms timeout timing, open-drain output drive capability (3.2mA sink at 4.5V), ultra-low 3μA supply current at 1.8V, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification (indicated by /V suffix in related variants).
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR46D2+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 open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and remains valid down to VCC = 1V, enabling robust reset signaling even during deep brownout conditions.
No manual reset (MR) input or auxiliary RESET IN functionality is present - this variant belongs to the base MAX6381 series, which supports only VCC monitoring and lacks debounced MR or dual-voltage detection features found in MAX6384–MAX6390 derivatives.
Key Specifications

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, and SC70 package; push-pull active-low output instead of open-drain. | Requires no external pullup; unsuitable for wired-OR or level-shifted reset buses. | Select when board space prohibits pullup resistor or when driving CMOS inputs directly. |
| TLV803EB46DBZR | 4.63V threshold, 20ms timeout, SOT-23-3 package; higher 8μA ICC at 1.8V and ±3% threshold accuracy. | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; not recommended for automotive deployments. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where extended temperature range is not required. |
Compared with MAX6381XR46D2+T, MAX6326XR46D2+T offers simpler interface but less system flexibility, while TLV803EB46DBZR trades accuracy and qualification for lower unit cost - making MAX6381XR46D2+T optimal for high-reliability 5V industrial and automotive edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6381XR46D2+T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6381XR46D2+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed limits of 4.51V (min) and 4.74V (max) at +25°C. Over the full operating range of -40°C to +125°C, the threshold remains within ±2.5% of nominal (i.e., 4.51V to 4.74V), supported by a 60ppm/°C tempco. This stability is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Operating Characteristics plots on page 4 of the datasheet.
Does the MAX6381XR46D2+T include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the MAX6381XR46D2+T does not include a manual reset input. It belongs to the base MAX6381 series, which supports only VCC monitoring and open-drain reset output. Manual reset functionality is available only in MAX6384–MAX6390 variants (e.g., MAX6384XR46D2+T), as clearly indicated in the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations section of the datasheet.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6381XR46D2+T guarantees correct reset output behavior?
The MAX6381XR46D2+T guarantees valid reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Below 1.0V, the device may not assert or deassert reset reliably. This feature ensures fail-safe reset signaling during deep brownout conditions common in battery-powered systems.
Can the MAX6381XR46D2+T be used in automotive applications?
Yes - while the MAX6381XR46D2+T itself carries the RoHS-compliant "+T" suffix, automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100) is available in /V-suffixed variants such as MAX6381XR46D2/V+T. The core electrical specifications, thermal performance (-40°C to +125°C), and package construction are identical; only the test flow and certification documentation differ. Designers targeting automotive use should specify the /V version.
What package type and pin count does the MAX6381XR46D2+T use, and is it compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment?
The MAX6381XR46D2+T uses a 3-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. Its gull-wing leads and JEDEC-standard footprint ensure full compatibility with automated SMT assembly lines, including standard vision-guided placement and reflow soldering profiles per J-STD-020.
