Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS21D7-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.10V reset threshold, 1200ms VCC reset timeout, and manual reset input. It monitors +1.8V to +5.0V supply rails, consumes only 3μA at +1.8V, guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for use in battery-powered industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS21D7-T datasheet, MAX6385XS21D7-T pinout, MAX6385XS21D7-T application, or MAX6385XS21D7-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high push-pull reset output, 2.10V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 1200ms minimum VCC timeout, MR debounced input with internal pullup, and 4-pin SC70 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS21D7-T implements a precision voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco, paired with a monolithic timer that enforces a guaranteed-minimum 1200ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its MR input features internal 63kΩ pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width support.
This device uses BiCMOS process technology to achieve ultra-low quiescent current (3μA at +1.8V), negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 150µs at 100mV overdrive, and guaranteed logic-state validity on RESET output down to VCC = 1V - enabling reliable brownout detection in low-voltage microcontroller systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Operating Range | +1.0V to +5.5V VCC - supports direct monitoring of 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5.0V rails |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - drives high without external pullup, compatible with standard μP reset inputs |
| Package | 4-pin SC70 (X4+1 outline) - 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint for ultra-compact PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS21D7-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm with gull-wing leads. Thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - powers internal circuitry and triggers reset when below 2.10V |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - asserts high during fault; deasserts low after timeout; no external pullup required |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - forces reset when pulled low; internal 63kΩ pullup to VCC enables switch-only interface |
| 4 | GND | Reference ground for all internal comparators and timers - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 2.10V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider; reduces BOM count and layout area for fixed-rail monitoring |
| 1200ms VCC reset timeout | Ensures μP remains held in reset until all power domains stabilize post-brownout, preventing boot corruption |
| Debounced MR input | Accepts mechanical switch inputs directly without external RC filtering or firmware debounce overhead |
| Valid RESET down to VCC = 1V | Guarantees clean reset assertion during deep brownout - critical for fail-safe shutdown in portable equipment |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects sub-150µs glitches at 100mV overdrive - avoids spurious resets in electrically noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385XS21D4-T | Same 2.10V threshold and MR input, but 1120ms VCC reset timeout (vs. 1200ms) | Suitable where slightly shorter reset hold time is acceptable for faster system recovery | Select when timing margin allows 80ms reduction in reset assertion duration |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 2.10V threshold, 1200ms timeout, but active-low open-drain output and no MR input | Requires external pullup resistor and cannot support manual reset functionality | Choose only if system design already uses active-low reset architecture and manual reset is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6385XS21D7-T, the MAX6385XS21D4-T offers identical functionality with reduced timeout, while the TPS3808G18DBVR lacks MR support and requires external biasing - making MAX6385XS21D7-T uniquely suited for compact, manually resettable, active-high systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6385XS21D7-T?
The MAX6385XS21D7-T has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.10V, specified with ±2.5% tolerance over the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet (suffix "21" corresponds to 2.05V/2.10V/2.15V nominal). The MAX6385XS21D7-T uses this precise threshold to monitor 2.1V rails without external calibration.
Does the MAX6385XS21D7-T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6385XS21D7-T includes a debounced manual reset input (MR pin) with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low forces an immediate reset assertion, which remains active for the full 1200ms timeout after MR is released. This feature enables hardware-initiated resets using a simple momentary switch, and the MAX6385XS21D7-T requires no external components for basic MR implementation.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6385XS21D7-T use?
The MAX6385XS21D7-T is packaged in a 4-pin SC70 (X4+1 outline), measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm with gull-wing leads. Its land pattern is documented as 90-0187, and it is RoHS-compliant (denoted by the "+T" suffix). This compact package enables high-density routing in space-limited applications such as wearable medical devices and compact industrial sensors, and the MAX6385XS21D7-T shares footprint compatibility with other 4-pin SC70 supervisory ICs.
How does the MAX6385XS21D7-T behave during brownout conditions?
When VCC falls below 2.10V, the MAX6385XS21D7-T asserts its active-high RESET output within 35µs and holds it asserted for a guaranteed minimum 1200ms after VCC rises above the threshold. Crucially, the MAX6385XS21D7-T guarantees correct RESET logic state down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownouts where many competing supervisors fail.
Is the MAX6385XS21D7-T pin-compatible with legacy Maxim reset ICs?
Yes, the MAX6385XS21D7-T is pin-compatible with the MAX809/MAX810 series and other members of the MAX6381–MAX6390 family in the same 4-pin SC70 package. Its pinout (VCC, RESET, MR, GND) matches industry-standard configurations, allowing drop-in replacement in existing designs - provided the active-high output and 2.10V threshold meet system requirements. This compatibility simplifies migration paths for the MAX6385XS21D7-T in legacy designs.
