Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS21D6-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.10V reset threshold, 560ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and manual reset input. It monitors single supply voltage (1.0V–5.5V), consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V. Used in battery-powered controllers and portable instrumentation for reliable power-up/brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS21D6-T datasheet, MAX6385XS21D6-T pinout, MAX6385XS21D6-T application, or MAX6385XS21D6-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high push-pull output logic, 2.10V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 560ms reset timeout, MR debounced input with internal 63kΩ pullup, and 4-pin SC70 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS21D6-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across temperature, paired with a monotonic RC timer for deterministic 560ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its active-high push-pull output drives directly into μP reset inputs without external pullups.
It integrates a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 1µs minimum pulse width support and 100ns glitch rejection, internally pulled up to VCC via 63kΩ. The device asserts reset when VCC falls below 2.10V or MR is driven low, maintaining reset for the full 560ms timeout after either condition clears.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6385XS21D6-T?
The MAX6385XS21D6-T has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.10V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This value is specified in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet (suffix "21"), and the tolerance is guaranteed by design across temperature and process variation - not just typical or room-temperature only.
Does MAX6385XS21D6-T support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6385XS21D6-T includes a debounced manual reset input (MR) on pin 4. It is active-low, internally pulled up to VCC via a 63kΩ resistor, and accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels. A logic-low pulse ≥1µs forces reset assertion for the full 560ms timeout period, eliminating need for external debounce circuitry or pullup resistors.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS21D6-T use?
MAX6385XS21D6-T is supplied in a lead(Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098). Its footprint measures 2.0mm × 2.1mm with a maximum height of 0.95mm, and the recommended land pattern is 90-0187 - optimized for reflow soldering and high-density PCB assembly.
Can MAX6385XS21D6-T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, MAX6385XS21D6-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1V. At 1.2V, the device remains fully functional: the 2.10V threshold comparator operates, the 560ms timeout timer runs, and the active-high push-pull RESET output maintains valid high/low states - enabling safe operation in ultra-low-voltage brownout scenarios.
Is MAX6385XS21D6-T pin-compatible with any legacy Maxim reset ICs?
MAX6385XS21D6-T is pin-compatible with other 4-pin SC70 variants in the MAX6384–MAX6390 family (e.g., MAX6384XS21D6-T, MAX6386XS21D6-T) but not with 3-pin or 6-pin versions. It shares the same SC70 pinout as MAX6384/MAX6386/MAX6390 - VCC (1), RESET (2), GND (3), MR (4) - enabling drop-in replacement within this specific variant group.
