Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS20D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.0V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 20ms minimum reset timeout, and integrated debounced manual reset input (MR). 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 - used in battery-powered controllers and portable instrumentation for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS20D2-T datasheet, MAX6385XS20D2-T pinout, MAX6385XS20D2-T application, or MAX6385XS20D2-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SC70 package, MR input with internal 63kΩ pullup, ±2.5% threshold accuracy across automotive temperature range, and compatibility with dual-voltage monitoring systems requiring deterministic reset timing.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS20D2-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis to detect VCC drops below 2.0V, triggering an active-high reset assertion that persists for ≥20ms after VCC recovers. Its MR input accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and initiates reset on low assertion, with internal debounce eliminating need for external RC filtering.
Reset output remains valid down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout. The device uses BiCMOS process for low quiescent current (3μA at 1.8V) and high noise immunity against negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.0V nominal, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive temperature range |
| Reset Timeout | 20ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for microcontroller initialization before release |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered portable devices |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and supports direct connection to μP RESET pin |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch interface without external components |
| Operating Voltage | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during severe undervoltage conditions |

Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS20D2-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, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin | 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 - drives high during reset condition; sinks/source current per spec without external components |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - forces reset when pulled low; internal 63kΩ pullup enables NC or VCC tie-off if unused |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for stable comparator operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.0V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration or trimming resistors |
| Low-power operation | 3μA supply current at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on portable instruments and IoT edge nodes |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly down to VCC = 1V - prevents spurious release during deep brownout recovery |
| Integrated MR debounce | No external RC required - simplifies BOM and improves reliability in noisy environments with mechanical switches |
| Negative transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤35µs at 100mV overdrive - avoids false resets in electrically harsh automotive or industrial settings |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385LT20D2-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN package - larger footprint, better thermal dissipation (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Suitable for high-density boards where SC70 placement is constrained or thermal margin is critical | Select when PCB layout requires smaller height profile or higher thermal performance is needed |
| MAX6326XR20D2-T | Pin-compatible alternative with identical 2.0V threshold and 20ms timeout, but higher ICC (7μA typ. at 1.8V) and no MR input | Lacks manual reset capability - requires external MR circuitry if system-level reset initiation is needed | Choose only if MR functionality is unnecessary and legacy MAX6326 footprint reuse is prioritized |
Compared with MAX6385XS20D2-T, the LT version offers improved thermal performance in µDFN but occupies more board area, while the MAX6326 variant sacrifices MR integration and consumes >2× more current - making MAX6385XS20D2-T optimal for compact, low-power, MR-enabled designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6385XS20D2-T?
The MAX6385XS20D2-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.0V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet (Rev 7, 8/20), where VTH min = 1.95V and max = 2.05V at +25°C, and ±2.5% applies across temperature.
Does MAX6385XS20D2-T support manual reset functionality, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6385XS20D2-T includes a debounced manual reset input (MR) on Pin 3. It is active-low, features an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, and requires no external components. Driving MR low forces reset assertion; release triggers the 20ms timeout period. This is explicitly documented in the Pin Description and Detailed Description sections of the MAX6381–MAX6390 datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS20D2-T use?
MAX6385XS20D2-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. This RoHS-compliant package is confirmed in the Ordering Information and Package Information sections of the datasheet, with "XS" in the part number denoting the 4-pin SC70 variant.
Can MAX6385XS20D2-T operate reliably at VCC below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6385XS20D2-T guarantees correct reset output behavior down to VCC = 1.0V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its supply current remains at 3μA minimum at 1.8V, and the reset output remains valid (logic-high when asserted) even at 1.0V - enabling robust operation during deep brownout conditions.
Is MAX6385XS20D2-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6385XS20D2-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use, as noted in the Features section and Ordering Information.
