Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS18D6-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 1.8V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 560ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input. It monitors single-supply rails in battery-powered embedded systems where reliable power-on reset and brownout protection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS18D6-T datasheet, MAX6385XS18D6-T pinout, MAX6385XS18D6-T application, or MAX6385XS18D6-T equivalent, key selection factors include its 3μA supply current at 1.8V, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, 4-pin SC70 package footprint, and compatibility with manual reset switch interfaces requiring no external debounce.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS18D6-T implements a precision voltage comparator with internal 1.8V reference and an on-chip timer for fixed 560ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its MR input features a 63kΩ internal pullup resistor and accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels, enabling direct connection to momentary switches without external components.
Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below 1.8V or MR is pulled low; the active-high RESET output remains high for ≥560ms after VCC exceeds 1.8V or MR is released. The device guarantees correct output state down to VCC = 1V and provides immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 100mV overdrive for durations under ~10µs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.8V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable detection of 1.8V rail brownout across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 560ms minimum - holds processor in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and wearables |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - drives reset line directly without external pullup, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM count |
| Manual Reset Input | Debounced MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - supports direct connection to normally open switch; no external RC network required |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - allows use with 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains while maintaining reset functionality down to 1V |
| Package | 4-pin SC70 (X4+1 outline) - 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint compatible with space-constrained portable designs |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS18D6-T is housed in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), optimized for compact board layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - powers internal circuitry and serves as reset threshold reference point |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - asserts high during reset condition; sinks/source current per spec without external components |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing and noise immunity |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - initiates reset when pulled low; internal 63kΩ pullup eliminates need for external resistor |
Key Features

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides independent reset supervision for 1.8V core rail while sharing same PCB footprint as legacy MAX809 variants. Use Value: Pin-compatible replacement reduces redesign effort; 4-pin SC70 saves board area versus 3-pin alternatives requiring external pullup. |
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 | 1.63V reset threshold, 240ms timeout, no MR input, 3-pin SC70 | Lacks manual reset capability and has shorter timeout - unsuitable for systems requiring field-service reset or extended initialization | Select only if 1.63V threshold matches target rail and manual reset is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 1.8V threshold, 200ms timeout, active-low open-drain output, 5-pin SOT-23 | Requires external pullup resistor and offers shorter timeout - increases BOM count and may not meet reset-hold requirements | Choose when open-drain interface is mandatory or SOT-23 footprint is preferred over SC70 |
Compared with MAX809TRD3-T and TPS3808G18DBVR, MAX6385XS18D6-T uniquely combines 1.8V threshold accuracy, 560ms timeout, active-high push-pull output, and integrated MR pullup in a 4-pin SC70 - delivering higher integration and longer reset hold time for modern low-voltage microcontrollers.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6385XS18D6-T?
The MAX6385XS18D6-T has a factory-set reset threshold of 1.8V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This specification is guaranteed by design and ensures reliable detection of 1.8V supply brownout conditions in automotive and industrial environments where voltage regulation margins are tight.
Does MAX6385XS18D6-T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6385XS18D6-T does not require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin because it features an active-high push-pull output. The internal driver actively sources current when asserting reset and sinks current when deasserting, eliminating dependency on external passive components and simplifying schematic design for the MAX6385XS18D6-T.
What is the function of the MR pin on MAX6385XS18D6-T and how should it be used?
The MR pin on MAX6385XS18D6-T is an active-low manual reset input with a built-in 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. To initiate a reset, drive MR low using a momentary switch to GND or compatible logic signal. When unused, MR can be left floating due to the internal pullup. This feature enables field-service reset capability without adding external components to the MAX6385XS18D6-T design.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6385XS18D6-T guarantees valid reset output behavior?
MAX6385XS18D6-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this voltage, the internal circuitry may not maintain defined output behavior. This specification ensures reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions common in battery-powered systems, making MAX6385XS18D6-T suitable for applications where supply collapse must be detected early.
Is MAX6385XS18D6-T pin-compatible with other supervisory ICs in the same family?
Yes, MAX6385XS18D6-T shares the same 4-pin SC70 pinout as other members of the MAX6384–MAX6390 series with XS prefix, including MAX6384XS18D6-T and MAX6386XS18D6-T. This allows drop-in substitution within the same reset threshold and timeout configuration group, provided the reset polarity (active-high push-pull) and MR functionality match the system requirements for MAX6385XS18D6-T.
