Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS38D6-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), and 560ms minimum VCC reset timeout. It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered or space-constrained embedded systems and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS38D6-T datasheet, MAX6385XS38D6-T pinout, MAX6385XS38D6-T application, or MAX6385XS38D6-T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, manual reset input compatibility, SC70-4 package footprint, low 3μA supply current at 1.8V, and guaranteed operation across automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS38D6-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over full temperature range and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer enforces a fixed 560ms minimum reset assertion period after VCC recovers above 3.80V.
It features a debounced active-low manual reset input (MR) with internal 63kΩ pullup resistor, enabling external reset initiation without external components. The active-high push-pull RESET output drives directly into μP reset inputs without external pullup.
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 for 3.3V or 4.0V logic rails |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 560ms minimum - holds μP in reset long enough for power stabilization and oscillator startup |
| 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 valid reset assertion even during deep brownout recovery |

| Manual Reset Input | Active-low MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch interface without external biasing |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS38D6-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, optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - powers device and triggers reset when below 3.80V |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - asserts high during reset condition; sinks/source up to 3.2mA/800µA |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - forces reset when pulled low; internally pulled up to VCC via 63kΩ resistor |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference - completes power and signal return path; required for accurate threshold sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.80V with ±2.5% tolerance over full automotive temperature range - eliminates external resistor divider calibration |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in portable medical monitors and wireless sensor nodes |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly down to VCC = 1.0V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep undervoltage events |
| Debounced manual reset | Internal MR filtering and 63kΩ pullup - enables direct connection to tactile switch without RC network |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤ 100µs at 200mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385XS38D3-T | 140ms VCC reset timeout vs. 560ms - shorter assertion period | Suitable for faster-booting MCUs where 140ms suffices for oscillator stabilization | Select when system boot time budget is constrained and shorter reset hold is acceptable |
| MAX6385XS38D4-T | 1120ms VCC reset timeout vs. 560ms - longer assertion period | Required for complex peripherals needing extended power-rail settling before release | Select when interfacing with DDR memory controllers or high-precision ADCs demanding longer reset hold |
Compared with MAX6385XS38D3-T and MAX6385XS38D4-T, the MAX6385XS38D6-T provides a balanced 560ms reset timeout - sufficient for most ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V microcontrollers to achieve clock lock and register initialization without unnecessarily delaying system startup.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6385XS38D6-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6385XS38D6-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 3.80V, 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 threshold drift is limited to approximately ±15mV across the entire range - critical for consistent brownout response in automotive and industrial applications.
Does MAX6385XS38D6-T support manual reset, and what is the internal pullup value on the MR pin?
Yes, MAX6385XS38D6-T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. This allows direct connection to a normally open momentary switch without external components. The MR pin accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and features built-in glitch rejection (100ns), making it robust against contact bounce and EMI.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS38D6-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6385XS38D6-T is supplied in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with a 0.65mm lead pitch. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant. Its small footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in wearables, sensor nodes, and compact ECUs.
How does the reset timeout of MAX6385XS38D6-T compare to other variants in the MAX6385 family?
MAX6385XS38D6-T provides a 560ms minimum VCC reset timeout, positioned between the 140ms (D3) and 1120ms (D4) options. This duration balances reliable power-rail stabilization with minimal boot delay - ideal for mid-complexity microcontrollers like STM32L4 or Silicon Labs EFM32 that require ~400–600ms for clock tree initialization and flash controller readiness.
Can MAX6385XS38D6-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages, and what is its minimum functional VCC?
Yes, MAX6385XS38D6-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout recovery. Its supply current remains only 3μA at 1.8V, and absolute maximum ratings allow VCC as low as -0.3V (with derating). This makes it suitable for energy-harvesting systems and battery-depleted scenarios where voltage may dip near 1V before recovery.
