Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS31D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, active-high push-pull μP supervisory circuit with factory-set 3.08V reset threshold, 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and integrated debounced manual reset input (MR). It monitors single supply voltage (VCC) in battery-powered or space-constrained embedded systems and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V. Designed for critical microprocessor power-up sequencing in portable instrumentation and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS31D3-T datasheet, MAX6385XS31D3-T pinout, MAX6385XS31D3-T application, or MAX6385XS31D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.08V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 3μA supply current at 1.8V, 4-pin SC70 package footprint, and MR input with internal 63kΩ pullup - all verified in Maxim's Rev 7 datasheet (19-1839).
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS31D3-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold tolerance across temperature, paired with a monotonic RC-based timeout timer. Its active-high push-pull RESET output drives high during fault conditions (VCC < 3.08V or MR low) and remains asserted for ≥140ms after recovery.
It features a dedicated MR input with 1µs minimum pulse width support, 100ns glitch rejection, and guaranteed operation with TTL/CMOS logic levels. The device lacks auxiliary RESET IN functionality and does not support dual-voltage monitoring - confirmed by MAX6385-specific pin mapping and selector guide.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V nominal, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges. |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization before release. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable equipment. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion down to 1V, critical for ultra-low-voltage SoC power sequencing. |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and simplifies interface to μP reset inputs. |
| MR Input | Internal 63kΩ pullup, TTL/CMOS compatible - allows direct connection of momentary switch to GND without external components. |
| Package | 4-pin SC70 (X4+1 outline) - 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint ideal for compact PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS31D3-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), with 0.65mm pitch and thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - must be decoupled with 0.1μF capacitor near pin for transient immunity. |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives high during reset assertion; sinks/source current per spec (VOL ≤ 0.3V at 1.2mA, VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC). |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; pulling low forces reset for ≥140ms after release. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output drivers - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.08V with ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor divider and calibration effort. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout or Li-ion battery discharge. |
| Integrated MR debounce | No external RC network required - internal timing rejects transients <100ns and supports clean reset initiation via mechanical switch. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar μP reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385LT31D3-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (L611+1) package - larger footprint, higher thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W). | Preferred for thermally demanding environments where SC70 self-heating may affect long-term threshold stability. | Select when board layout allows 2.0mm × 2.0mm μDFN and thermal margin is constrained. |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | TI part with identical 3.0V threshold and 200ms timeout; consumes 1.1μA at 3.3V but lacks MR input - requires external switch interface. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where manual reset is unnecessary and lower IQ is prioritized. | Choose only if MR functionality is omitted from system design and 1.1μA IQ justifies switching from Maxim's ecosystem. |
Compared with MAX6385XS31D3-T, the LT variant offers better thermal performance in high-power-density designs, while the TPS3808G30DBVR reduces supply current by 63% but removes integrated MR - making MAX6385XS31D3-T optimal for space-constrained, MR-dependent embedded systems requiring guaranteed AEC-Q100 compatibility.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6385XS31D3-T and how is it specified?
The MAX6385XS31D3-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is derived from the "31" suffix in the part number, referencing the Reset Thresholds table where "31" corresponds to VTH(min) = 3.00V, VTH(nom) = 3.08V, VTH(max) = 3.15V. The MAX6385XS31D3-T uses this specific trim and is not adjustable.
Does MAX6385XS31D3-T support dual-voltage monitoring like some other members of the MAX6381–MAX6390 family?
No, MAX6385XS31D3-T does not support dual-voltage monitoring. It monitors only the VCC supply rail. Auxiliary RESET IN functionality is exclusive to MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 variants, as confirmed by the Selector Guide and Pin Description tables. The MAX6385XS31D3-T pinout contains only VCC, RESET, MR, and GND - no RESET IN terminal.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the MR pin on MAX6385XS31D3-T?
The MR pin on MAX6385XS31D3-T is an active-low manual reset input with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low forces the RESET output high for the full 140ms timeout period, even if VCC remains stable. The MAX6385XS31D3-T guarantees MR operation with TTL/CMOS logic levels and rejects glitches shorter than 100ns. No external components are needed for basic switch interfacing.
Can MAX6385XS31D3-T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V, and what happens to the RESET output below that?
Yes, MAX6385XS31D3-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state for VCC ≥ 1.0V, including at 1.2V. Below 1.0V, the internal circuitry cannot maintain defined output behavior - the RESET output may become indeterminate or float. For applications requiring valid reset signaling down to 0V, external pulldown resistors are recommended only for push-pull outputs like those on MAX6385XS31D3-T, though this falls outside guaranteed operation per datasheet specifications.
Is MAX6385XS31D3-T pin-compatible with legacy Maxim reset ICs such as MAX809 or MAX6326?
Yes, MAX6385XS31D3-T is explicitly listed as pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810/MAX803/MAX6326/MAX6327/MAX6328/MAX6346/MAX6347/MAX6348, and MAX6711/MAX6712/MAX6713 - per the Features section of the datasheet. This compatibility applies specifically to the 4-pin SC70 package configuration used by MAX6385XS31D3-T, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB modification.
