Product details
Overview
MAX6384XS44D3 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 4.38V reset threshold, 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, active-low push-pull reset output, and debounced manual reset input (MR). It monitors +1.8V to +5.0V supply rails in battery-powered embedded controllers and ensures reliable power-on reset sequencing for critical µP systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6384XS44D3 datasheet, MAX6384XS44D3 pinout, MAX6384XS44D3 application, or MAX6384XS44D3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, guaranteed valid reset output down to VCC = 1V, 3µA supply current at +1.8V, and SC70-4 package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision voltage comparator with internal 1.27V reference for threshold detection, paired with a temperature-stable monostable timer for reset assertion timing. Its MR input features an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor and 1µs minimum pulse width requirement, enabling direct connection to momentary switches without external debounce components.
The push-pull active-low RESET output drives logic-compatible loads with VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 80µA (VCC ≥ 1.0V), while maintaining guaranteed state validity across the full 1.0V–5.5V operating range - critical for brownout resilience in low-voltage microcontroller applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V nominal (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C) - sets precise power-fail detection point for +4.5V system rails |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling |
| 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 conditions down to near-zero VCC |
| MR Pullup Resistor | 63kΩ internal - eliminates need for external pullup, simplifying BOM and PCB layout |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull - provides rail-to-rail drive capability without external pullup resistor |
| Package | SC70-4 (1.3mm × 1.1mm × 0.95mm) - fits high-density portable electronics with minimal board area |
Pinout & Package
MAX6384XS44D3 uses the 4-pin SC70 package (X4-1 code), measuring 1.3mm × 1.1mm × 0.95mm with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is RESET (active-low push-pull), Pin 2 is VCC, Pin 3 is MR (manual reset input), and Pin 4 is GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output - asserts low during power failure or MR activation; deasserts after timeout |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input and monitored voltage rail - powers internal circuitry and serves as primary reset trigger source |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - initiates reset when pulled low; internally pulled up to VCC via 63kΩ resistor |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference - provides return path for all internal currents and establishes voltage reference for comparator |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.38V with ±2.5% tolerance over full industrial temperature range - eliminates external resistor divider calibration |
| Debounced manual reset input | Internal 1µs glitch rejection and 63kΩ pullup - enables direct switch interface without RC network or firmware debounce |
| Low-voltage reset guarantee | Valid RESET output state maintained down to VCC = 1.0V - prevents spurious release during brownout recovery |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches < 35µs duration at 100mV overdrive - improves robustness in electrically noisy environments |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3µA at +1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications by >10× versus legacy reset ICs |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Medical Wearable Sensors |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR44D3+ | Same 4.38V threshold and 140ms timeout, but no MR input and SC70-3 package | Lacks manual reset functionality; requires external switch circuit if user-initiated reset needed | Select when board space is constrained and manual reset is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold (not 4.38V), 200ms timeout, 1.8V–6.0V operation, SOT-23-5 package | Requires external pullup on MR pin; different threshold invalidates direct replacement in +4.5V systems | Choose only after recalculating system reset margin and modifying PCB layout for 5-pin footprint |
Compared with MAX6384XS44D3, MAX6326XR44D3+ saves board area but removes MR functionality, while TPS3808G33DBVR offers wider voltage range but mismatches the required 4.38V threshold and demands layout changes - making MAX6384XS44D3 optimal for compact, manually resettable +4.5V systems.
