Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS36D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 3.60V reset threshold, 20ms minimum reset timeout, and manual reset input (MR), operating from 1.0V to 5.5V supply while consuming only 3μA at 1.8V - used in battery-powered controllers and portable instrumentation for reliable power-up/brownout reset assertion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS36D2-T datasheet, MAX6385XS36D2-T pinout, MAX6385XS36D2-T application, or MAX6385XS36D2-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high push-pull RESET output, guaranteed valid operation down to VCC = 1V, ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and MR input with internal 63kΩ pullup resistor.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS36D2-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a fixed 3.60V threshold, with hysteresis and negative-going transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive. Its internal timer generates a precise 20ms minimum reset timeout after VCC recovery or MR release.
It features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 1µs minimum pulse width support and 100ns glitch rejection, and guarantees correct RESET logic state (high during reset assertion) for VCC ≥ 1V - enabling robust reset signaling even during deep brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.60V (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C); ensures deterministic reset initiation when main supply drops below safe MCU operating voltage. |
| Reset Timeout | 20ms (minimum); guarantees sufficient hold time for processor initialization before release of reset signal. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable systems without compromising supervision integrity. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports direct interface with low-voltage cores (1.2V/1.8V) and legacy 3.3V/5V domains. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull; eliminates need for external pullup resistor and drives high-impedance loads directly. |
| MR Input | Active-low with 63kΩ internal pullup; allows momentary switch-to-GND implementation without external components. |
| Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications requiring extended thermal reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385XS36D3-T | Same 3.60V threshold and active-high push-pull output, but 140ms reset timeout instead of 20ms. | Suitable for systems requiring longer reset hold time (e.g., FPGA configuration or EEPROM write completion). | Select when longer timeout is needed; otherwise, MAX6385XS36D2-T provides optimal balance for fast-boot MCUs. |
| TLV809K36DBZR | 3.6V threshold, active-low open-drain output, no MR input, 200ms timeout, 1.5μA typical ICC at 1.8V. | Lacks manual reset capability and uses open-drain output requiring external pullup; lower quiescent current but less flexible interface. | Choose for ultra-low-power, simple reset-only use cases where MR and push-pull drive are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6385XS36D2-T, MAX6385XS36D3-T offers extended reset hold time for complex initialization, while TLV809K36DBZR trades MR functionality and push-pull drive for lower ICC - making MAX6385XS36D2-T the optimal choice for battery-powered controllers needing both fast reset and user-triggered recovery.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6385XS36D2-T?
The MAX6385XS36D2-T has a factory-set reset threshold of 3.60V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This value is specified in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet and confirmed by electrical characterization at temperature extremes. The MAX6385XS36D2-T uses internal laser trimming to achieve this accuracy without external components.
Does MAX6385XS36D2-T support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6385XS36D2-T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) on Pin 3, featuring an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low for ≥1µs asserts RESET; the device holds RESET active for the full 20ms timeout after MR is released. No external components are required, and the input rejects glitches as short as 100ns - making it ideal for pushbutton or logic-controlled reset in portable equipment.
