Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS26D6-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision active-high push-pull μP supervisory circuit designed for reliable power-on reset and brownout detection in low-voltage embedded systems. It features a factory-set 2.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 560ms minimum VCC reset timeout, 3μA supply current at 1.8V, and operates down to VCC = 1.0V. It is used in battery-powered microcontroller applications requiring guaranteed reset assertion during voltage sag.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS26D6-T datasheet, MAX6385XS26D6-T pinout, MAX6385XS26D6-T application, or MAX6385XS26D6-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, SC70-4 package layout, manual reset timing behavior, automotive-grade thermal performance, and direct alternatives for design-in validation and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS26D6-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across -40°C to +125°C, paired with a temperature-stable monostable timer that guarantees ≥560ms reset assertion after VCC recovers above 2.63V. Its active-high push-pull output drives logic-high during reset, eliminating external pullup requirements.
It integrates a debounced manual reset input (MR) with internal 63kΩ pullup, supporting TTL/CMOS-compatible triggering and guaranteeing reset assertion for ≥560ms after MR release. The device is specified for operation from 1.0V to 5.5V VCC and maintains valid output state down to VCC = 1.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V nominal (2.56V min / 2.69V max), ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range - ensures consistent brownout detection across industrial environments. |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 560ms minimum - holds microprocessor in reset long enough to stabilize power rails and clocks before code execution resumes. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in portable and IoT edge nodes without compromising supervision reliability. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with core voltages as low as 1.0V while remaining compatible with 3.3V/5V legacy systems. |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - provides rail-to-rail logic levels without external components, reducing board space and BOM count. |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch connection to GND; no external resistor or debounce circuit required. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment embedded applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS26D6-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. This ultra-compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained portable and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary power supply input and monitored voltage source; powers internal circuitry and sets reset threshold reference point. |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; drives high during reset condition and low when system is stable - directly interfaces with μP RESET pin. |
| 3 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing and noise immunity. |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; pulling low forces immediate reset assertion and initiates 560ms timeout upon release - supports field service and test mode entry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.63V with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C - eliminates need for external resistor dividers or calibration in production. |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures deterministic μP initialization even during deep brownout or ultra-low-power wake-up sequences. |
| Debounced manual reset input | Internal 63kΩ pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width rejection prevent false resets from switch bounce or EMI. |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Withstands ≤100µs glitches up to 200mV below threshold - suppresses false resets caused by switching noise on shared power rails. |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V enables integration into always-on sensor nodes without impacting battery lifetime. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Automotive Body Control Units |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar μP reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385LT26D6-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (L611+1) instead of 4-pin SC70 - larger footprint, higher thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W). | Better suited for high-power-density boards where μDFN thermal performance is prioritized over size. | Select when board layout allows larger package and improved heat dissipation is required over minimal area. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.6μA ICC at 3.3V - different threshold/timing binning and no MR input. | Limited to fixed 3.3V systems without manual reset capability; requires external pullup for open-drain variant. | Choose only if 3.3V threshold and shorter timeout are acceptable and MR functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6385XS26D6-T, the LT26D6-T offers identical supervision functionality in a thermally superior but physically larger package, while the TPS3808G33DBVR trades threshold flexibility and manual reset for lower quiescent current and vendor diversification - neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision.

The MAX6385XS26D6-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed limits of 2.56V (min) and 2.69V (max) at +25°C, and ±2.5% accuracy maintained over the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does MAX6385XS26D6-T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, MAX6385XS26D6-T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) pin with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor. Driving MR low forces immediate reset assertion, and the device maintains reset for the full 560ms timeout period after MR is released - no external components are required for basic operation.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS26D6-T use?
MAX6385XS26D6-T is packaged in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 (outline 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. Its land pattern is documented as 90-0187, and it features a thermal resistance of θJA = 322.6°C/W on a multilayer board.
Can MAX6385XS26D6-T operate reliably below 1.8V supply?
Yes, MAX6385XS26D6-T is fully specified from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V. Its reset output remains valid down to VCC = 1.0V, and supply current is characterized at 1.8V (3μA), 2.5V (4μA), and 3.6V (6μA), enabling use in ultra-low-voltage microcontroller domains.
Is MAX6385XS26D6-T qualified for automotive applications?
MAX6385XS26D6-T carries the "+T" suffix indicating lead-free/RoHS compliance and is rated for -40°C to +125°C operation. While not explicitly marked "/V" (AEC-Q100 automotive grade), its temperature range, thermal specs, and qualification history align with automotive subsystem requirements - confirm /V variants (e.g., MAX6385XS26D6/V+T) for formal AEC-Q100 compliance.
