Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS29D4-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.93V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1120ms VCC reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input. It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered embedded systems where reliable power-on reset and brownout protection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS29D4-T datasheet, MAX6385XS29D4-T pinout, MAX6385XS29D4-T application, or MAX6385XS29D4-T equivalent, key selection factors include its 3μA supply current at 1.8V, guaranteed valid reset output down to VCC = 1V, 4-pin SC70 package footprint, and compatibility with manual reset switch integration without external debounce.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS29D4-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across temperature, paired with a monolithic timer for deterministic 1120ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its internal 63kΩ MR pullup resistor enables direct connection of a momentary switch to GND.
This device operates within 1.0V–5.5V supply range and guarantees correct reset logic state even as VCC drops to 1V - enabling robust reset signaling during deep brownout conditions. It features negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive, validated per typical operating characteristics graphs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V (nominal), ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent trip point across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1120ms minimum - holds μP in reset long enough for power rails and clocks to stabilize post-brownout |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and portable devices |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and supports direct interface to CMOS/TTL reset inputs |
| Manual Reset Input | Debounced MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows simple SPST switch-to-GND implementation without RC network or firmware debounce |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion during deep undervoltage events down to near-zero VCC |
| Reset Output Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC = 1V - maintains defined logic level through severe brownout, preventing spurious release |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS29D4-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, optimized for space-constrained portable and wearable designs.
| 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 - drives high during reset assertion; sinks current when deasserted; compatible with standard μP reset inputs |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - forces reset when pulled low; internal 63kΩ pullup eliminates need for external biasing |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - must be connected directly to system ground plane for stable comparator operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.93V with ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications without sacrificing supervision reliability |
| Deterministic reset timeout | 1120ms minimum VCC reset period - ensures sufficient hold time for complex SoCs and PLL lock sequences |
| Integrated MR pullup | 63kΩ internal resistor - reduces BOM count and PCB area by removing discrete pullup component |
| Brownout immunity | Valid reset output guaranteed down to VCC = 1V - prevents premature release during slow power-down transitions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385LT29D4-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) | Suitable for thermally demanding layouts where μDFN's exposed pad improves heat dissipation, but requires larger PCB footprint | Select when board layout allows μDFN and thermal performance outweighs size constraints |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3V threshold, 200ms timeout, and 1.6μA typical ICC - lacks manual reset input and has different timeout options | Applicable where fixed 3.3V supervision suffices and MR functionality is handled externally or not required | Choose only if system does not require manual reset capability and 200ms timeout meets boot timing requirements |
Compared with MAX6385XS29D4-T, the MAX6385LT29D4-T offers identical supervision functionality in a thermally enhanced but physically larger package, while the TPS3808G33DBVR provides lower quiescent current but omits MR support and offers shorter timeout - making it unsuitable for applications requiring field-service reset or extended stabilization periods.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6385XS29D4-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6385XS29D4-T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating range of -40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved via laser-trimmed bandgap reference and verified by production testing - meaning the actual threshold for any given unit will fall between 2.85V and 3.00V across temperature, ensuring predictable brownout response in automotive and industrial deployments.
Does MAX6385XS29D4-T support manual reset, and what is required to implement it?
Yes, MAX6385XS29D4-T includes a debounced manual reset (MR) input with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. To implement, connect a normally open momentary switch between MR (pin 3) and GND. No external components are needed - the internal pullup ensures MR remains high when idle, and pulling it low for >1µs initiates a reset that persists for 1120ms after switch release.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS29D4-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6385XS29D4-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with 0.65mm lead pitch. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant. This compact footprint supports high-density layouts in wearables and handheld devices while maintaining compatibility with standard SC70 reflow profiles.
Can MAX6385XS29D4-T operate reliably during deep brownout conditions?
Yes, MAX6385XS29D4-T guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V - meaning its active-high RESET signal remains logically correct (high during reset, low otherwise) even as supply voltage collapses. This ensures the connected microprocessor stays held in reset until power fully fails, preventing erratic execution or memory corruption during undervoltage transients.
How does the 1120ms reset timeout of MAX6385XS29D4-T benefit system startup timing?
The 1120ms minimum reset timeout of MAX6385XS29D4-T ensures the supervised microprocessor remains held in reset long enough for all power rails, crystal oscillators, and PLLs to achieve stable operation before code execution begins. This eliminates race conditions in complex SoCs and avoids boot failures caused by premature release - especially critical in systems with multi-stage power sequencing or slow-start regulators.
