Product details
Overview
MAX6381XR46D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit in 3-pin SC70 package, featuring factory-set 4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, active-low open-drain reset output, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V. It monitors single-supply systems in battery-powered instrumentation and embedded controllers where precise brownout detection and ultra-low quiescent current (3μA at 1.8V) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6381XR46D3+T datasheet, MAX6381XR46D3+T pinout, MAX6381XR46D3+T application, or MAX6381XR46D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, timeout timing tolerance, open-drain drive capability with external pullup, VCC operating range (1.0V–5.5V), and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification status.
Technical Context
The MAX6381XR46D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across -40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a fixed 140ms (min) reset assertion period after VCC recovers above 4.63V.
As a single-supply supervisor without manual reset (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN inputs, it delivers deterministic reset behavior solely on VCC monitoring - eliminating external components while maintaining immunity to sub-100µs negative-going VCC transients per test data.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V nominal (4.51V min / 4.74V max), factory-trimmed for stable brownout detection at 5V systems |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - ensures μP initialization completes before code execution resumes |
| Supply Current | 3μA at 1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid reset state even during deep brownout |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - requires external pullup; supports wired-OR and mixed-voltage interfacing |
| Temp Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% over full temperature range - eliminates need for system-level calibration |
Pinout & Package
Package: 3-pin SC70 (outline 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208), footprint-compatible with industry-standard low-pin-count supervisors.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 | VCC | Main supply input and monitored voltage rail; accepts 1.0V–5.5V; powers internal comparator and timer |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected directly to system ground plane for noise immunity |
Key Features

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 3-pin SC70 package; 4.63V threshold; but push-pull active-low output (no external pullup required) | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; rated only to +85°C ambient | Select when board space is constrained and system uses dedicated reset net without wired-OR requirements |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 4.63V threshold; 140ms timeout; push-pull active-low; 1.8V–6.5V VCC range | Higher 8μA ICC at 1.8V; no AEC-Q100 rating; different pinout (SOT-23-5) | Choose for broader input voltage support and tighter 0.5% threshold tolerance, accepting higher quiescent current |
Compared with MAX809TRD3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6381XR46D3+T uniquely combines automotive qualification, ultra-low 3μA supply current, and open-drain flexibility - making it optimal for battery-sensitive, safety-critical, or multi-drop reset architectures.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6381XR46D3+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6381XR46D3+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 temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), the threshold remains within ±2.5% of 4.63V - meaning 4.51V to 4.74V tolerance holds across all temperatures. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX6381XR46D3+T include a manual reset input (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN pin?
No, the MAX6381XR46D3+T does not include a manual reset input (MR) or auxiliary RESET IN pin. It is a single-supply, VCC-only monitoring device in the MAX6381 series variant. MR is present only on MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386/MAX6390, and RESET IN appears exclusively on MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 - both features are absent in the MAX6381XR46D3+T pinout and functional description.
What is the reset timeout duration for the MAX6381XR46D3+T and is it guaranteed minimum or typical?
The MAX6381XR46D3+T provides a guaranteed minimum reset timeout of 140ms after VCC rises above the 4.63V threshold. Per the datasheet's Reset Timeout Period table, suffix "D3" corresponds to tRP = 140ms (min), with no upper limit specified - ensuring the reset signal stays asserted for at least that duration, critical for reliable microprocessor initialization.
Can the MAX6381XR46D3+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.0V, and what happens to the reset output at that voltage?
Yes, the MAX6381XR46D3+T is guaranteed to operate correctly down to VCC = 1.0V, and its reset output state remains valid and deterministic at that level. The datasheet explicitly states "Reset Output State Guaranteed Valid Down to VCC = 1V", meaning the open-drain RESET pin will correctly assert low when VCC falls below 4.63V - even as supply voltage collapses toward 1.0V.
Is the MAX6381XR46D3+T RoHS-compliant and qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the "+T" suffix indicates a lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant package. While the base MAX6381XR46D3+T is not automotive-qualified, the datasheet confirms AEC-Q100 qualification applies to /V-trim versions (e.g., MAX6381XR46D3/V+T). For automotive use, specify the /V variant - the MAX6381XR46D3+T itself meets RoHS but lacks formal AEC-Q100 certification.
