Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS36D6-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 3.60V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 560ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and 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 MAX6385XS36D6-T datasheet, MAX6385XS36D6-T pinout, MAX6385XS36D6-T application, or MAX6385XS36D6-T equivalent, key selection factors 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 3.6V supply monitoring with manual reset capability.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS36D6-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer enforces a fixed 560ms minimum reset assertion period after VCC recovers above 3.60V.
It features an internally pulled-up manual reset input (MR) with 63kΩ pullup resistance, supporting TTL/CMOS logic drive and noise immunity via optional external RC filtering. The active-high push-pull RESET output drives high during fault conditions and guarantees valid logic levels down to VCC = 1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Manual Reset Input | Debounced MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch interface without external components |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion during deep brownout and full-rail operation |
| Package | 4-pin SC70 (X4+1 outline) - compact 1.2mm × 1.6mm footprint for space-constrained PCBs |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS36D6-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.2mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm with gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - must be connected to system 3.3V/3.6V domain |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - asserts high during VCC undervoltage or MR activation |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - driven low to force reset; internal 63kΩ pullup to VCC |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output drivers - requires low-impedance connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.60V with ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor divider calibration |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on portable instruments |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout |
| Integrated MR pullup | 63kΩ internal resistor - enables direct switch-to-ground interface without external components |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Immune to sub-10µs VCC glitches below threshold - prevents spurious resets in noisy environments |

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 MR input, but 140ms VCC reset timeout | Suitable for faster-booting MCUs requiring shorter reset hold time | Select when system boot completes in <200ms and longer timeouts risk unnecessary delay |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6385XS36D6-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6385XS36D6-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 3.60V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 60ppm/°C, meaning the threshold drifts less than 15mV across the entire range. This stability ensures consistent brownout detection in automotive and industrial environments where ambient temperature varies widely, and is confirmed in the device's Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet.
Does MAX6385XS36D6-T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6385XS36D6-T does not require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin because it features an active-high push-pull output driver. The internal circuitry actively drives the RESET pin high during fault conditions and low during normal operation, eliminating reliance on external components. This simplifies PCB layout and improves noise immunity compared to open-drain alternatives. The datasheet explicitly confirms this in the Pin Description section (page 6) and Typical Operating Circuit (page 9).
What is the function and electrical specification of the MR pin on MAX6385XS36D6-T?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6385XS36D6-T is an active-low input that forces a reset when pulled below 0.3×VCC. It includes a factory-trimmed 63kΩ internal pullup resistor to VCC, allowing direct connection to a momentary switch tied to ground. The MR input rejects glitches shorter than 100ns and responds within 200ns of assertion. These specifications-including VIH/VIL thresholds, pullup value, and timing-are fully documented in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3) and Detailed Description section (page 6) of the MAX6385XS36D6-T datasheet.
Can MAX6385XS36D6-T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6385XS36D6-T is guaranteed to maintain valid reset output states down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in both the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its internal comparators and output drivers remain functional and deterministic even during deep brownout conditions. This capability ensures fail-safe reset behavior in battery-powered systems where supply voltage may sag significantly before shutdown. The datasheet confirms this on page 2 (Absolute Max Ratings) and page 3 (Electrical Characteristics, "Reset Output State Guaranteed Valid Down to VCC = 1V" feature).
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS36D6-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6385XS36D6-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.2mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm with gull-wing leads. The "+T" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant construction, per Maxim's Ordering Information table (page 8). This package is optimized for high-density layouts and supports standard reflow soldering profiles up to +260°C, as verified in the Package Information section (page 2) of the datasheet.
