Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS18D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 1.8V reset threshold, 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and manual reset input (MR), designed for reliable power-on reset assertion in low-voltage embedded systems operating from 1.0V to 5.5V supply. It consumes only 3μA at +1.8V and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS18D3-T datasheet, MAX6385XS18D3-T pinout, MAX6385XS18D3-T application, or MAX6385XS18D3-T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SC70-4 package layout, MR debounce capability, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and direct alternatives for voltage-monitoring reset design.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS18D3-T integrates a precision voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a fixed 1.8V threshold, an internal timer enforcing a guaranteed-minimum 140ms reset assertion after VCC recovery, and a debounced manual reset input with 63kΩ internal pullup. Its active-high push-pull RESET output drives high during fault conditions and deasserts cleanly upon recovery.
It operates across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) with ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy and supports stable reset generation even during negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs (at 100mV overdrive), ensuring immunity to common supply noise without external filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.8V nominal, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection for 1.8V logic domains. |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - guarantees sufficient μP initialization time after power stabilization. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables use in battery-powered equipment with multi-year standby life. |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and simplifies interface to μP reset inputs. |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - supports momentary switch connection without external components. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - allows operation down to near-dead-battery levels while maintaining valid reset state. |
| Reset Output Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep undervoltage events. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS18D3-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary power supply input and monitored voltage source - must be decoupled with 0.1µF capacitor near pin. |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - asserts high during VCC undervoltage or MR activation; sinks/source current per spec. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and reset comparator - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - driven low to force reset; internally pulled up to VCC (63kΩ); no external pullup needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 1.8V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider and calibration effort for 1.8V core rail monitoring. |
| 140ms minimum reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD8-12B timing requirements for modern low-power microcontrollers. |
| Debounced MR input with internal pullup | Enables direct connection of mechanical switches without RC filters or firmware debouncing. |
| 3μA supply current at 1.8V | Reduces quiescent power in always-on subsystems - critical for IoT endpoint battery life. |
| Valid reset output down to VCC = 1V | Prevents spurious release during deep brownout, avoiding undefined μP state transitions. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Medical Wearable Sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385XS26D3-T | 2.63V reset threshold (±2.5%), same 140ms timeout, identical SC70-4 package and MR functionality. | Targets 2.5V/2.8V I/O domain monitoring instead of 1.8V core rail. | Select when supervising higher-voltage rails; pinout and timing are identical - only threshold differs. |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 1.8V threshold, 200ms timeout (min), SOT-23-5 package, no MR input, 1.5μA typical ICC at 1.8V. | Lacks manual reset capability; suited for simpler reset-only applications without operator intervention. | Choose when MR is unnecessary and lower quiescent current is prioritized over reset flexibility. |
Compared with MAX6385XS18D3-T, MAX6385XS26D3-T offers identical form-factor and timing but targets different supply rails, while TPS3808G18DBVR reduces current draw at the cost of losing MR functionality and requiring a different footprint.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6385XS18D3-T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6385XS18D3-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 1.8V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This means the actual threshold falls between 1.755V and 1.845V at +25°C, and between 1.755V and 1.845V across temperature - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold".
Does MAX6385XS18D3-T support manual reset, and what is the internal pullup value on the MR pin?
Yes, MAX6385XS18D3-T includes a debounced manual reset input (MR) with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, as documented in the "MR Internal Pullup Resistance" specification. This allows direct connection of a momentary switch to GND without external components, and MR remains functional across the full –40°C to +125°C range.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS18D3-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6385XS18D3-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant, as stated in the Ordering Information section and Package Information table.
How long does the reset signal remain asserted after VCC rises above the 1.8V threshold in MAX6385XS18D3-T?
The MAX6385XS18D3-T asserts its active-high RESET output for a guaranteed minimum of 140ms after VCC rises above the 1.8V threshold - designated by the "D3" suffix per the Reset Timeout Delay table. This timeout is temperature-stable, with normalized variation ≤±1.5% across –40°C to +125°C per the "Normalized Power-Up Reset Timeout vs. Temperature" graph.
Can MAX6385XS18D3-T operate reliably at VCC = 1.0V, and what happens to the RESET output below that?
Yes, MAX6385XS18D3-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as explicitly stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Detailed Description sections. Below 1.0V, the device ceases to function predictably; however, the datasheet notes that for applications requiring validity down to 0V, external pulldown resistors may be used - though this applies only to push-pull outputs like those in MAX6385XS18D3-T.
