Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS28D5-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.80V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 280ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input (MR). It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered or embedded systems where reliable power-on reset and brownout protection are critical, such as portable instrumentation and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS28D5-T datasheet, MAX6385XS28D5-T pinout, MAX6385XS28D5-T application, or MAX6385XS28D5-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.80V threshold accuracy, 280ms reset timeout, MR input compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic, guaranteed valid reset down to VCC = 1V, and 4-pin SC70 package footprint.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS28D5-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring, paired with a monolithic timer that guarantees minimum 280ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its internal 63kΩ MR pullup resistor enables direct connection of a momentary switch to GND without external components.
This device belongs to the MAX6384–MAX6390 family with 4-pin SC70 packaging, active-high push-pull RESET output, and no auxiliary RESET IN functionality - distinguishing it from MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 variants and confirming its role as a single-supply, manual-reset-capable supervisor only.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6385XS28D5-T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6385XS28D5-T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.80V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This means the actual threshold remains between 2.73V and 2.87V across temperature extremes. The device achieves this stability using a precision bandgap reference and laser-trimmed resistors, eliminating need for external calibration.
Does MAX6385XS28D5-T support manual reset, and what are the electrical requirements for the MR pin?
Yes, MAX6385XS28D5-T includes a debounced manual reset input (MR) with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. To assert reset, drive MR below 0.3×VCC (e.g., <0.9V at 3.0V VCC). The input accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and open-drain signals. No external components are needed - a normally open switch from MR to GND suffices for pushbutton reset functionality.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6385XS28D5-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state?
MAX6385XS28D5-T guarantees valid RESET output state down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this, the internal circuitry may not maintain proper logic levels. This feature ensures deterministic microprocessor behavior during deep brownout conditions - for example, holding RESET high until VCC recovers above 2.80V and remains stable for ≥280ms, even if VCC dips to 1.2V momentarily.
Can MAX6385XS28D5-T be used in automotive applications, and what qualification does it carry?
MAX6385XS28D5-T is not automotive-qualified. While it operates from –40°C to +125°C, it lacks AEC-Q100 certification. For automotive use, select the /V variant (e.g., MAX6385XS28D5/V+T), which is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 and features enhanced process controls and test coverage. The standard MAX6385XS28D5-T is intended for industrial and commercial applications only.
What package type and footprint does MAX6385XS28D5-T use, and are there land pattern recommendations?
MAX6385XS28D5-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, package code X4+1) with 1.6mm × 1.6mm body and 0.65mm lead pitch. Maxim recommends land pattern 90-0187 for optimal solder joint reliability. This compact footprint supports high-density layouts in portable electronics while maintaining manufacturability with standard reflow profiles.
