Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS42D5-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 4.20V reset threshold, 280ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and manual reset input. It monitors single supply voltage (1.0V–5.5V), consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V. Used in portable battery-powered equipment for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS42D5-T datasheet, MAX6385XS42D5-T pinout, MAX6385XS42D5-T application, or MAX6385XS42D5-T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), MR input pullup resistance (63kΩ), open-drain vs. push-pull output compatibility, and SC70-4 package footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS42D5-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer enforces a guaranteed minimum 280ms reset assertion after VCC rises above 4.20V.
It features a debounced active-low manual reset input (MR) with 63kΩ internal pullup, supporting TTL/CMOS logic drive and requiring no external debounce circuitry. Reset output remains high during MR assertion and for the full 280ms timeout after MR release.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.20V (nominal), ±2.5% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| VCC Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors without compromising reset reliability |
| Reset Timeout Period | 280ms (minimum) - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping microcontrollers and FPGA configuration circuits |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-high - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and supports direct interface to CMOS reset inputs |
| Manual Reset Input | Active-low MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch connection to GND without external components |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion down to ultralow VCC levels, critical for deep-sleep wake-up integrity |
| Reset Output Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset state during partial power collapse or battery sag |
Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS42D5-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 reference for reset threshold detection |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output; drives high during normal operation, pulls low only during reset assertion - directly compatible with μP / RESET pins requiring active-high logic |
| 3 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane with low-impedance path to ensure noise immunity |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (63kΩ); asserting low forces immediate reset and initiates 280ms timeout on release |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.20V with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C - eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration in production |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as smart meters and wearables |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly down to VCC = 1V - prevents spurious resets during ultra-low-voltage wake-up sequences |
| Integrated MR pullup | 63kΩ internal resistor - reduces BOM count and PCB area by eliminating discrete pullup component |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches <100ns at 100mV overdrive - suppresses false resets caused by switching noise or ESD coupling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385LT42D5-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (1.5mm × 2.0mm) instead of 4-pin SC70 - larger footprint, better thermal dissipation | Preferred where board space permits and higher thermal margin is required in high-ambient industrial enclosures | Select when thermal performance > footprint density; not pin-compatible due to different pin count and layout |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold (not 4.20V); 200ms timeout (not 280ms); 1.6μA ICC at 1.8V - lower current but mismatched threshold and timing | Suitable only if system operates at 3.3V nominal and can tolerate tighter reset window; requires redesign of reset timing margins | Choose only if threshold and timeout values align with system requirements; verify MR compatibility and output polarity match |
Compared with MAX6385XS42D5-T, the MAX6385LT42D5-T offers identical functionality in a thermally superior μDFN package but demands PCB layout revision, while the TPS3808G33DBVR provides lower ICC but lacks the precise 4.20V threshold and 280ms timeout needed for legacy 5V-tolerant microcontroller interfaces.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6385XS42D5-T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6385XS42D5-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 means the actual threshold falls between 4.10V and 4.31V at +25°C, and between 4.00V and 4.31V across temperature extremes - ensuring predictable brownout response in automotive and industrial environments where MAX6385XS42D5-T is commonly deployed.
Does MAX6385XS42D5-T support manual reset functionality, and what is the internal pullup value?
Yes, MAX6385XS42D5-T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) with a confirmed internal pullup resistor of 63kΩ to VCC. This allows direct connection of a normally open momentary switch between MR and GND without external components. The MR pin accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and maintains reset assertion for the full 280ms timeout period after release, making MAX6385XS42D5-T suitable for field-serviceable embedded systems requiring operator-initiated restarts.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6385XS42D5-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6385XS42D5-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant. This compact footprint enables high-density placement in space-constrained applications like wearable electronics and miniaturized industrial sensors where MAX6385XS42D5-T is frequently selected for its size-efficiency tradeoff.
How does MAX6385XS42D5-T behave when supply voltage drops below 1.0V?
MAX6385XS42D5-T guarantees correct reset output logic state only down to VCC = 1.0V - below this level, the internal circuitry cannot maintain defined behavior. For applications requiring valid reset signaling all the way to 0V (e.g., ultra-low-power wake-up circuits), an external pulldown resistor is recommended on the active-high RESET output. This design consideration is explicitly documented in the MAX6385XS42D5-T datasheet and applies uniquely to its push-pull architecture, unlike open-drain variants.
Is MAX6385XS42D5-T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs like MAX809 or MAX6326?
No, MAX6385XS42D5-T is not pin-compatible with MAX809 or MAX6326. While the datasheet states functional pin compatibility *within the MAX6381–MAX6390 family* for same-package variants (e.g., MAX6385XSxxDx-T in SC70-4), MAX809 uses SOT23-3 and MAX6326 uses SOT23-5 - differing in pin count, assignment, and physical outline. Replacing those parts with MAX6385XS42D5-T requires PCB layout modification and verification of reset polarity, timing, and voltage thresholds to ensure system-level compatibility.
