Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS28D6-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.80V reset threshold, 560ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and manual reset input. It monitors single-supply voltage in low-power embedded systems, consumes only 3μA at +1.8V, guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for industrial and automotive applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS28D6-T datasheet, MAX6385XS28D6-T pinout, MAX6385XS28D6-T application, or MAX6385XS28D6-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high push-pull output logic, 2.80V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 560ms reset timeout, MR debounced input with internal 63kΩ pullup, and 4-pin SC70 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS28D6-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a guaranteed-minimum 560ms reset assertion after VCC rises above 2.80V or after release of the active-low manual reset (MR) input.
It features a dedicated MR input with 1µs minimum pulse width support, 100ns glitch rejection, and 200ns MR-to-RESET delay. The push-pull active-high RESET output drives high during reset assertion and guarantees correct logic state down to VCC = 1V, enabling reliable μP initialization under brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.80V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate power-fail detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - powers internal circuitry and serves as reference for reset threshold detection |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - asserts high during reset condition and deasserts low when VCC exceeds 2.80V for ≥560ms |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - forces reset when pulled low; internally pulled up to VCC via 63kΩ resistor |
| 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 | 2.80V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor network and calibration effort |
| Debounced manual reset input | Integrated 100ns glitch rejection and 1µs minimum pulse width - enables direct switch connection without external RC filtering |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Immune to sub-10µs transients below threshold - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
| Low-voltage operation guarantee | Valid RESET output asserted down to VCC = 1V - ensures robust reset behavior during deep brownout recovery |
| Pin-compatible legacy support | Direct replacement for MAX809/MAX810/MAX6326 families - simplifies upgrade path without layout changes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385LT28D6-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN (1.5mm × 1.5mm) instead of 4-pin SC70 - higher thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Preferred for thermally demanding environments where µDFN's larger pad improves heat dissipation | Select when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal performance outweighs size constraints |
| MAX6326XR28D6-T | Legacy pin-compatible part with identical 2.80V/560ms spec but higher 10μA supply current at +1.8V and no AEC-Q100 qualification | Suitable for cost-sensitive commercial-grade designs without automotive reliability requirements | Choose for non-automotive applications where lower unit cost justifies higher quiescent current and reduced temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) |
Compared with MAX6385LT28D6-T, the MAX6385XS28D6-T offers superior board-area efficiency in space-constrained designs; versus MAX6326XR28D6-T, it delivers 3× lower supply current and full AEC-Q100 compliance for automotive use - making it the optimal choice for modern battery-powered and automotive electronics requiring minimal footprint and maximum reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6385XS28D6-T?
The MAX6385XS28D6-T has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.80V with ±2.5% tolerance over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This specification is guaranteed by design and tested across temperature extremes, ensuring reliable power-fail detection in automotive and industrial environments where supply rails may drift significantly.
Does MAX6385XS28D6-T support manual reset functionality, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6385XS28D6-T includes an active-low manual reset (MR) input with internal 63kΩ pullup to VCC. Driving MR low forces an immediate reset assertion, which remains active for the full 560ms timeout after MR is released. No external components are required, and the input supports TTL/CMOS logic levels, making it ideal for integration with pushbutton switches or system-level control signals.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS28D6-T use?
MAX6385XS28D6-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098) measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. Its compact footprint and exposed pad-free construction simplify assembly on fine-pitch PCBs while maintaining thermal performance suitable for ambient temperatures up to +125°C.
How does the reset output behavior of MAX6385XS28D6-T differ from open-drain alternatives?
Unlike open-drain reset ICs, MAX6385XS28D6-T features a push-pull active-high RESET output that actively drives high during reset and low otherwise - eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor. This reduces BOM count, saves PCB area, and ensures faster edge rates and better noise immunity compared to passive pullup configurations used with open-drain devices.
Is MAX6385XS28D6-T qualified for automotive applications, and what standards does it meet?
Yes, MAX6385XS28D6-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. The "/V" suffix denotes automotive qualification, and this part meets stress testing requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q100 Rev G. It operates reliably from –40°C to +125°C and is commonly used in body control modules, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS subsystems.
