Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS42D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, active-high push-pull μP supervisory circuit designed to monitor +4.20V supply voltage in embedded systems. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 4.20V (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), guarantees valid output down to VCC = 1V, and provides a 20ms minimum reset timeout after power-up recovery. It features a debounced manual reset input (MR) and operates at only 3μA supply current at +1.8V - ideal for battery-powered microcontroller applications requiring reliable brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS42D2-T datasheet, MAX6385XS42D2-T pinout, MAX6385XS42D2-T application, or MAX6385XS42D2-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-set 4.20V threshold, 20ms VCC reset timeout, active-high push-pull output logic, MR input compatibility with TTL/CMOS, and guaranteed operation down to 1V VCC - all critical for deterministic reset behavior in portable and industrial control designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS42D2-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a fixed 20ms minimum reset timeout after VCC rises above the 4.20V threshold or after MR release.
It integrates a 63kΩ internal pullup on the MR pin, supports direct connection to momentary switches without external debounce, and ensures reset assertion remains valid during negative-going VCC transients up to 100mV overdrive with sub-10µs immunity per typical characteristics - enabling robust operation in electrically noisy environments.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone reset generator for the 3.3V domain, with MR input synchronized to core-rail OK signal via logic gate. Use Value: Valid reset output down to VCC = 1V prevents spurious resets during slow-ramp power-up sequences common in multi-stage DC-DC converters. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar μP reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385XS42D3-T | Same 4.20V threshold but 140ms VCC reset timeout instead of 20ms | Suitable for systems requiring longer reset hold time, e.g., complex FPGA configuration or bootloader validation | Select when extended reset duration is needed; not drop-in due to timeout mismatch |
| TLV803EB42DBZR | 4.2V threshold, 20ms timeout, active-high open-drain output (requires external pullup) | Compatible where board already includes pullup resistor; lower cost but higher effective quiescent current | Choose for cost-sensitive designs with existing pullup infrastructure; verify MR compatibility and timing margins |
Compared with MAX6385XS42D2-T, the MAX6385XS42D3-T extends reset hold time for complex initialization, while TLV803EB42DBZR trades push-pull simplicity for open-drain flexibility and slightly higher system-level current draw - both require layout or timing review before substitution.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6385XS42D2-T?
The MAX6385XS42D2-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 4.20V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external calibration. The MAX6385XS42D2-T datasheet specifies min/max limits of 4.10V to 4.31V at +25°C and 4.00V to 4.20V over temperature - making it ideal for precise 4.2V Li-ion battery monitoring applications.
Does the MAX6385XS42D2-T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6385XS42D2-T includes a debounced manual reset input (MR) pin with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor. Driving MR low forces an immediate active-high reset assertion, which remains active for the full 20ms timeout period after MR is released. The MAX6385XS42D2-T MR input accepts standard TTL/CMOS logic levels and can be driven directly by a momentary switch to GND - no external components are required for basic manual reset implementation.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6385XS42D2-T use?
The MAX6385XS42D2-T is supplied in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098), measuring 1.3mm × 1.7mm × 0.9mm. Its land pattern (90-0187) is optimized for high-density PCB layouts. This compact footprint supports automated assembly and thermal performance characterized at θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer boards - making the MAX6385XS42D2-T well-suited for wearable electronics and miniaturized industrial sensors.
Can the MAX6385XS42D2-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX6385XS42D2-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as confirmed in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This capability ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout conditions, such as battery depletion or cascaded regulator failure. Unlike many supervisors that lose output validity below 1.8V, the MAX6385XS42D2-T maintains functional reset assertion - a critical feature for fail-safe shutdown in safety-critical embedded systems.
Is the MAX6385XS42D2-T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs like the MAX809?
Yes, the MAX6385XS42D2-T is explicitly listed in the datasheet as pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810/MAX803 and other legacy Maxim supervisors. Its 4-pin SC70 pinout (VCC, RESET, GND, MR) matches the functional mapping of those devices, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs - provided the active-high push-pull output logic and 4.20V threshold meet system requirements. No PCB changes are required for migration from compatible variants.
