Product details
Overview
The MAX6385XS42D4-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit in 4-pin SC70 package, featuring a factory-set reset threshold of +4.20V (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1120ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and 3μA supply current at +1.8V. It monitors single-supply rails in battery-powered controllers and portable instrumentation where low-power, precise voltage supervision is critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS42D4-T datasheet, MAX6385XS42D4-T pinout, MAX6385XS42D4-T application, or MAX6385XS42D4-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high push-pull output, manual reset input with internal 63kΩ pullup, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification for industrial embedded systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across -40°C to +125°C, coupled to a monolithic timer generating a fixed 1120ms reset assertion period after VCC recovery. The internal MR pullup resistor (63kΩ) enables direct connection of a momentary switch to GND without external components.
Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below 4.20V or when the manual reset input (MR) is driven low; the active-high RESET output remains high for the full timeout after either condition clears. The device guarantees correct logic state for VCC ≥ 1V and exhibits immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | +4.20V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive temperature range |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1120ms minimum - provides sufficient hold-off time for processor initialization and power rail stabilization | Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and portable devices |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and supports direct interface to μP reset inputs |
| Manual Reset Input | Internal 63kΩ pullup to VCC - allows simple momentary switch-to-GND implementation with no external components |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Reset Output Validity | Valid down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during power ramp-down |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS42D4-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. Pin 1 is RESET (active-high push-pull), Pin 2 is VCC, Pin 3 is MR (active-low manual reset), and Pin 4 is GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives high during reset assertion; sinks/source current per spec; interfaces directly to μP reset pin |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input and monitored voltage rail - powers internal circuitry and serves as primary reset trigger source |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - forces reset when pulled low; internal 63kΩ pullup enables NC or VCC tie-off if unused |
| 4 | GND | Reference ground for all internal comparators and timers - must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | Fixed +4.20V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor network and calibration effort |
| Guaranteed reset validity at low VCC | Operates correctly down to VCC = 1V - ensures robust reset signaling during undervoltage shutdown sequences |
| Integrated MR pullup | 63kΩ internal resistor to VCC - reduces BOM count and PCB area by removing external pullup requirement |
| Negative transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤35µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified for automotive applications per Rev 7 datasheet - supports deployment in under-hood and infotainment systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3-T | +3.08V reset threshold, 240ms timeout, no MR input, 3-pin SC70 | Lacks manual reset capability and has lower threshold - suitable only for fixed 3.3V systems without field service requirements | Select when cost-sensitive designs require basic reset without MR functionality and operate strictly at 3.3V |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | +3.3V threshold, adjustable timeout (1ms–10s), open-drain output, SOT-23-5 | Requires external pullup; timeout programmable but lacks factory-trimmed precision - better for flexible timing needs than fixed-voltage reliability | Choose when system requires configurable timeout or operates at 3.3V with existing open-drain reset architecture |
Compared with MAX809TRD3-T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6385XS42D4-T delivers higher reset threshold accuracy, integrated manual reset, and guaranteed operation down to 1V - making it optimal for 5V industrial and automotive applications demanding deterministic brownout response without design compromises.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6385XS42D4-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6385XS42D4-T has a 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 through laser-trimmed bandgap reference circuitry and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet. The MAX6385XS42D4-T maintains this precision without requiring external calibration or compensation networks.
Does the MAX6385XS42D4-T support manual reset, and what is the internal pullup resistance value?
Yes, the MAX6385XS42D4-T features an active-low manual reset (MR) input with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. This allows direct connection of a momentary switch between MR and GND without external components. The MR input accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and remains functional across the full VCC range (1.0V to 5.5V). The MAX6385XS42D4-T's MR pin is fully compatible with standard debounce practices and supports noise immunity via optional 0.1μF capacitor to GND.
What is the reset timeout duration for the MAX6385XS42D4-T, and is it guaranteed minimum or typical?
The MAX6385XS42D4-T provides a guaranteed minimum reset timeout of 1120ms following VCC recovery above the 4.20V threshold. This value is specified in the Reset Timeout Period table under suffix D4 and is production-tested across temperature and process variations. The MAX6385XS42D4-T does not specify a maximum timeout, ensuring safe margin for processor initialization in demanding applications like automotive ECUs and industrial controllers.
Can the MAX6385XS42D4-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages, and what is the lower limit?
Yes, the MAX6385XS42D4-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as explicitly stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections. This ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout and power-down sequences. The MAX6385XS42D4-T continues to assert reset until VCC exceeds 4.20V and sustains the active-high output for the full 1120ms timeout, even as VCC decays toward 1V.
Is the MAX6385XS42D4-T qualified for automotive applications, and what standard does it meet?
Yes, the MAX6385XS42D4-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications, as confirmed in the Features section and Ordering Information table of the datasheet. It meets stress testing requirements for Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C) operation and is suitable for use in body control modules, instrument clusters, and other non-safety-critical automotive subsystems. The MAX6385XS42D4-T carries the "/V" automotive qualification suffix in its full ordering code variants.
