Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS29D5-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), 280ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and integrated debounced manual reset input. It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered controllers and portable instrumentation where reliable power-on reset and brownout protection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS29D5-T datasheet, MAX6385XS29D5-T pinout, MAX6385XS29D5-T application, or MAX6385XS29D5-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3μA supply current at 1.8V, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, 4-pin SC70 package footprint, and compatibility with systems requiring precise 2.93V supply monitoring and fast 280ms recovery timing.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS29D5-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across -40°C to +125°C, coupled to a temperature-stable monostable timer for fixed 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 operates within 1.0V to 5.5V VCC range and guarantees correct RESET logic state down to VCC = 1V. It features negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive and supports manual reset initiation with 200ns MR-to-RESET delay and 1µs minimum MR pulse width.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS29D5-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. This compact surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts in handheld and wearable electronics.
| Pin | 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 upon timeout completion; sinks/source up to 3.2mA/800µA |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - forces reset when pulled below 0.3×VCC; internally pulled up to VCC via 63kΩ resistor |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers - must be connected to system common ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.93V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration in automotive and industrial applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385LT29D5-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (L611+1) package - larger footprint, better thermal performance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Preferred for high-reliability industrial designs requiring enhanced thermal margin and board-level reworkability | Select when PCB layout allows 2.0mm × 2.0mm package and thermal dissipation >167mW is required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold, 200ms timeout, 2.5μA ICC at 3.3V - different threshold and timing; no MR input | Suitable for fixed 3.3V systems without manual reset requirement; lacks debounced MR pin | Choose only if exact 3.3V threshold and absence of manual reset are acceptable design constraints |
Compared with MAX6385XS29D5-T, the LT version offers superior thermal characteristics in a larger package, while the TPS3808G33DBVR provides lower current draw at higher voltages but sacrifices threshold flexibility and manual reset capability - making MAX6385XS29D5-T optimal for space-constrained 2.9V–3.0V systems needing field-serviceable reset control.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6385XS29D5-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6385XS29D5-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This corresponds to a worst-case threshold window of 2.85V to 3.00V at temperature extremes, ensuring robust detection of supply drops in automotive and industrial environments where MAX6385XS29D5-T is commonly deployed.
Does MAX6385XS29D5-T support manual reset, and what are the interface requirements?
Yes, MAX6385XS29D5-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 device guarantees reset assertion for 280ms after MR is released. A simple SPST switch from MR to GND suffices - no external components are needed, making MAX6385XS29D5-T ideal for field-serviceable designs.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS29D5-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6385XS29D5-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098) measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm with gull-wing leads. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant. This compact footprint enables high-density placement in portable electronics where MAX6385XS29D5-T provides critical power-supply supervision without consuming valuable PCB real estate.
How does MAX6385XS29D5-T behave when VCC drops below 1.0V, and what is its minimum operating voltage?
MAX6385XS29D5-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, meaning the active-high reset signal remains valid and predictable even during severe brownout conditions. Below 1.0V, operation is not specified - however, the device's ability to function reliably at 1.0V ensures MAX6385XS29D5-T maintains system integrity longer than many competing supervisors during power collapse scenarios.
Is MAX6385XS29D5-T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs like MAX809 or MAX6326?
Yes, MAX6385XS29D5-T is explicitly pin-compatible with MAX809, MAX810, MAX803, MAX6326, MAX6327, MAX6328, MAX6346, MAX6347, MAX6348, and MAX6711–MAX6713 families in the same 4-pin SC70 package. This allows direct replacement in existing designs without PCB modifications, preserving layout investment while upgrading to MAX6385XS29D5-T's improved accuracy, lower current, and enhanced transient immunity.
