Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS42D1-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 4.20V reset threshold, 1ms minimum reset timeout, and manual reset input (MR), designed for reliable power-up/power-down monitoring in low-voltage embedded systems operating from +1.8V to +5.0V supply. It consumes only 3μA at +1.8V and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS42D1-T datasheet, MAX6385XS42D1-T pinout, MAX6385XS42D1-T application, or MAX6385XS42D1-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high push-pull reset output, 4.20V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, MR debounce capability, SC70-4 package footprint, and compatibility with dual-rail voltage monitoring architectures.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS42D1-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across temperature, paired with a monolithic timer generating a guaranteed-minimum 1ms reset assertion period after VCC recovery. Its internal 63kΩ MR pullup resistor enables direct connection of a momentary switch to GND without external components.
Unlike open-drain variants, this device drives RESET high actively during assertion-eliminating need for external pullup-and maintains logic-level validity even as VCC drops to 1V, ensuring deterministic μP initialization in brownout conditions. It supports no auxiliary voltage monitor (RESET IN) and is not a dual-threshold device.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.20V nominal, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable reset activation across automotive/industrial temperature ranges |
| Reset Timeout | 1ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for fast-boot microcontrollers before release |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates external pullup resistor, reduces BOM count and board area |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows direct switch-to-GND interface; no external biasing required |
| Operating Voltage | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports operation down to near-dead-battery conditions while monitoring up to 5V rails |
| VCC Validity Range | RESET state guaranteed down to VCC = 1V - prevents metastability during deep brownout |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS42D1-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 space-constrained portable and industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor rail - powers internal circuitry and triggers reset when falling below 4.20V |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives high during reset assertion; sinks current when deasserted; no external pullup needed |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - pulled internally to VCC via 63kΩ; asserting low forces immediate reset for test/service |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 4.20V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider; reduces component count and layout sensitivity in fixed-rail applications |
| 1ms minimum reset timeout | Meets timing requirements of modern low-latency MCUs without requiring external timing capacitors |
| 63kΩ internal MR pullup | Enables single-switch manual reset implementation - no external resistor or debounce circuit needed |
| 3μA supply current at 1.8V | Extends battery runtime in always-on IoT sensors and wearables where quiescent power dominates lifetime |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | Ensures clean reset signaling during severe undervoltage events, preventing corrupted firmware execution |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385XS42D2-T | 20ms minimum reset timeout vs. 1ms - longer assertion period for slower-boot processors | Suitable for legacy 8-bit MCUs with >15ms ROM initialization time | Select when system boot sequence requires extended reset hold beyond 1ms |
| MAX6382XS42D1-T | Same 4.20V threshold and 1ms timeout, but no MR input - lacks manual reset functionality | Applicable where reset is triggered solely by power conditions, not user intervention | Choose if MR is unused; saves cost and eliminates MR trace routing complexity |
Compared with MAX6385XS42D1-T, MAX6385XS42D2-T trades shorter reset duration for greater timing margin in slow-boot systems, while MAX6382XS42D1-T removes MR functionality to reduce pin count and simplify design where manual reset is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6385XS42D1-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6385XS42D1-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 4.20V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved using a precision bandgap reference and laser-trimmed resistors, making MAX6385XS42D1-T suitable for applications where supply rail tolerances are tight and environmental conditions are harsh.
Does MAX6385XS42D1-T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6385XS42D1-T does not require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin because it features an active-high push-pull output stage. The device actively drives RESET high during assertion and pulls it low when deasserted, eliminating reliance on external components and reducing board area and BOM cost compared to open-drain alternatives.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the MR pin on MAX6385XS42D1-T?
The MR pin on MAX6385XS42D1-T is an active-low manual reset input with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low forces immediate reset assertion, which remains active for the full 1ms timeout after MR is released. This enables field-service, test-mode, or software-controlled reset without additional circuitry - a key feature distinguishing MAX6385XS42D1-T from MR-less variants like MAX6382XS42D1-T.
Can MAX6385XS42D1-T monitor a second voltage rail such as a core supply or I/O supply?
No, MAX6385XS42D1-T monitors only the VCC rail and does not support auxiliary voltage monitoring. It lacks the RESET IN pin found on MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 variants. For dual-rail supervision, designers must select a different member of the MAX6381–MAX6390 family - MAX6385XS42D1-T is strictly a single-supply supervisor with manual reset capability.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS42D1-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6385XS42D1-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098) measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with lead (Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant construction indicated by the "+" suffix in the ordering code. Its small footprint and thermal resistance (θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board) make it ideal for dense, thermally constrained layouts in portable and industrial electronics.
