Product details
Overview
The MAX6385XS38D4-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 3.80V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1120ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and integrated debounced manual reset input (MR). It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply, draws only 3μA at 1.8V, and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V - ideal for battery-powered embedded controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS38D4-T datasheet, MAX6385XS38D4-T pinout, MAX6385XS38D4-T application, or MAX6385XS38D4-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SC70 package, MR input with internal 63kΩ pullup, ±2.5% threshold accuracy across automotive temperature range, and immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a trimmed bandgap reference, coupled with a digital timeout counter that asserts RESET for ≥1120ms after VCC recovers above 3.80V. The MR input feeds directly into the same reset logic path, enabling synchronized manual initiation with identical timing behavior.
Its active-high push-pull output drives high during reset assertion and low otherwise, eliminating need for external pullup resistors. Internal glitch rejection (100ns) and MR pulse width requirement (1µs minimum) ensure noise immunity in industrial environments without external debounce circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.80V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across full automotive temperature range |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1120ms minimum - guarantees sufficient μP initialization time after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with 1.2V/1.8V/3.3V/5V logic domains |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates external pullup, reduces BOM count and board space |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch connection without external components |

Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS38D4-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, suitable for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - powers internal circuitry and serves as reset trigger source |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives high during reset assertion, low otherwise; sinks/source capability defined per Electrical Characteristics |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - logic low forces reset; internal 63kΩ pullup to VCC enables NC or VCC tie-off when unused |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for stable reset threshold and noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385XS38D3-T | 140ms VCC reset timeout vs. 1120ms - shorter assertion period | Suitable for fast-booting systems where minimal reset hold time is required | Select when μP initialization completes in <200ms and longer timeouts risk unnecessary system delay |
| TLV803EB38DBZR | 3.8V threshold, open-drain active-low output, no MR input, 2.7μA ICC at 1.8V | Lacks manual reset capability and push-pull drive - requires external pullup and separate reset button circuit | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications where MR is not needed and open-drain compatibility is preferred |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6385XS38D4-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6385XS38D4-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 3.80V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed bandgap reference circuitry and low-tempco design, ensuring consistent brownout detection in automotive and industrial environments without external calibration.
Does the MAX6385XS38D4-T require an external pullup resistor on its RESET output?
No, the MAX6385XS38D4-T features an active-high push-pull RESET output, which actively drives high during reset assertion and low otherwise. Unlike open-drain variants, this eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor - reducing BOM count, saving PCB area, and improving noise immunity in high-speed digital systems.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the MR pin on the MAX6385XS38D4-T?
The MR pin on the MAX6385XS38D4-T is an active-low manual reset input with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low forces immediate reset assertion, which persists for the full 1120ms timeout after MR is released. It accepts standard TTL/CMOS logic levels and requires no external debounce components due to built-in 100ns glitch rejection.
Can the MAX6385XS38D4-T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V, and what happens to the RESET output below that?
Yes, the MAX6385XS38D4-T guarantees valid RESET output logic states down to VCC = 1.0V. At VCC = 1.2V, RESET remains fully functional: it asserts high during brownout and deasserts low after timeout. Below 1.0V, the internal regulator and comparators cease operation, and RESET behavior is undefined - system-level design must ensure VCC does not fall below 1.0V before reset completion.
How does the MAX6385XS38D4-T handle short negative-going transients on the VCC line?
The MAX6385XS38D4-T provides inherent immunity to short negative-going VCC transients: it will not assert reset for glitches ≤35µs duration when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV. This is achieved via internal filtering and comparator hysteresis, making it suitable for noisy power environments such as automotive 12V systems with load-dump transients or industrial motor drives.
