Product details
Overview
MAX6383LT46D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C), and 140ms minimum reset timeout period. 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. It is used in battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6383LT46D3+T datasheet, MAX6383LT46D3+T pinout, MAX6383LT46D3+T application, or MAX6383LT46D3+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-drain reset architecture, 4.63V threshold tolerance, 140ms timeout timing, SC70/μDFN package compatibility, and absence of manual reset or auxiliary voltage monitoring inputs.
Technical Context
The MAX6383LT46D3+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 fixed 140ms minimum reset assertion window after VCC recovers above 4.63V.
As an open-drain device, it requires an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin and supports mixed-voltage system interfacing. It lacks MR input and RESET IN functionality-distinguishing it from MAX6384–MAX6390 and MAX6387–MAX6389 variants-and is optimized for single-supply monitoring in space-constrained applications.
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 supply brownout before μP malfunction. |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum; holds reset asserted long enough for stable power-up of downstream logic and memory. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V; enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and wearables. |
| Operating Voltage | +1.0V to +5.5V; guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout down to 1V VCC. |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low; allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting with external pullup to any logic rail ≤6.0V. |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 35μs (VCC falling at 10mV/µs); fast response to rapid supply collapse without false triggering. |
| Package | 6-pin μDFN (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch); supports high-density PCB layouts in portable equipment. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6383LT46D3+T is housed in a 6-pin μDFN package (Outline Number 21-0147, Land Pattern 90-0080) with wettable flanks, RoHS-compliant, and rated for −40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparators and timer; must be connected directly to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input; powers internal circuitry and serves as monitored voltage source for reset threshold comparison. |
| 3 | N.C. | No internal connection; left unconnected per design-no routing or termination required. |
| 4 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V; requires external pullup resistor (typically 10kΩ). |
| 5 | N.C. | No internal connection; electrically isolated-must not be tied to any signal or power net. |
| 6 | N.C. | No internal connection; unused pad-no thermal or electrical function; may be grounded for mechanical stability only. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.63V with ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range-eliminates external resistor divider calibration. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V-enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes with 20mAh coin cells. |
| Valid reset down to 1V VCC | Ensures deterministic μP initialization even during severe brownout events before supply collapse. |
| Open-drain output architecture | Supports flexible interface to 1.8V/3.3V/5V logic families and enables multiple reset sources via wired-OR topology. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6383XR46D3+T | Same electrical specs but in 3-pin SC70 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm); no N.C. pins; higher θJA (340.4°C/W). | Suitable for ultra-compact designs where board area is more critical than thermal performance. | Select XR variant when footprint minimization outweighs thermal derating needs in low-power ambient environments. |
| TLV809E46DBZR | TI part with same 4.63V threshold and 140ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output and 1.8V–6V operating range. | Eliminates need for external pullup; incompatible with wired-OR reset buses requiring open-drain topology. | Choose TLV809E46DBZR only if system uses dedicated reset line and benefits from reduced BOM count. |
Compared with MAX6383XR46D3+T, the LT46D3+T offers lower thermal resistance in μDFN packaging for better power dissipation in thermally constrained layouts; versus TLV809E46DBZR, it preserves open-drain flexibility essential for multi-source reset arbitration but requires one additional passive component.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6383LT46D3+T?
The MAX6383LT46D3+T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the official datasheet and applies specifically to the "46" suffix. The threshold remains stable with a tempco of 60ppm/°C, making MAX6383LT46D3+T suitable for applications demanding precise 5V supply monitoring under thermal stress.
Does MAX6383LT46D3+T include a manual reset input (MR)?
No, MAX6383LT46D3+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 MAX6383LT46D3+T is a dedicated VCC-monitoring device with open-drain reset output only-no MR pin, no RESET IN pin, and no auxiliary monitoring capability. This simplifies layout but requires external circuitry if system-level manual reset is needed.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6383LT46D3+T use?
MAX6383LT46D3+T is packaged in a 6-pin μDFN (micro Dual Flat No-lead) with 2mm × 2mm body size, 0.5mm pin pitch, and wettable flanks. Its outline number is 21-0147 and land pattern number is 90-0080. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package supports reflow soldering at +260°C and is rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C-making MAX6383LT46D3+T appropriate for automotive and industrial deployments where thermal reliability is critical.
Can MAX6383LT46D3+T operate with supply voltages below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6383LT46D3+T operates from VCC = +1.0V to +5.5V. While its typical supply current is specified down to 1.8V (3μA), the device guarantees functional reset assertion down to 1.0V VCC-ensuring the RESET output remains in a valid logic state even during deep brownout. However, the 4.63V reset threshold is only meaningful when VCC exceeds that level; below 4.63V, the comparator asserts reset. Thus, MAX6383LT46D3+T remains fully operational and deterministic at 1.0V, unlike many competitors that cease functioning below 1.6V.
Is MAX6383LT46D3+T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs like MAX809?
Yes, MAX6383LT46D3+T is explicitly listed as pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810/MAX803 and other legacy Maxim supervisors in the Features section of the datasheet. However, this compatibility applies only to functional pin assignment-not identical package footprint. The MAX6383LT46D3+T uses a 6-pin μDFN, whereas MAX809 uses SOT23-3; thus, direct PCB replacement requires layout adaptation. The pinout mapping (GND, VCC, RESET) aligns logically, but MAX6383LT46D3+T adds three N.C. pins to accommodate its μDFN form factor.
