Product details
Overview
MAX6385XS44D4-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 4.38V reset threshold, 1120ms VCC reset timeout, and manual reset input. It monitors +1.8V to +5.0V supply rails, consumes only 3μA at +1.8V, and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V. It is used in portable battery-powered equipment for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6385XS44D4-T datasheet, MAX6385XS44D4-T pinout, MAX6385XS44D4-T application, or MAX6385XS44D4-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high push-pull output configuration, 4.38V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 1120ms minimum VCC reset timeout, MR input with internal pullup, and 4-pin SC70 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6385XS44D4-T implements a precision voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +125°C and a monolithic timer for fixed 1120ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its active-high push-pull RESET output drives high during fault conditions and deasserts cleanly without external pullup.
It features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with internal 63kΩ pullup resistor, supporting TTL/CMOS-compatible logic levels and momentary switch interfacing. The device operates reliably down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout events.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6385XS44D4-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - must be decoupled with 0.1μF capacitor near pin for transient immunity |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives high during reset assertion; sinks 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.5V with VOL ≤ 0.3V |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; low pulse ≥1µs forces reset for full timeout period |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output stage - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.38V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor divider and calibration effort |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET output remains logic-valid down to VCC = 1V - prevents spurious release during slow power ramp-down |
| Integrated MR pullup | 63kΩ internal resistor - enables single-switch manual reset without discrete pullup, reducing footprint and assembly cost |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches <1120µs wide when overdrive is <100mV - avoids false resets in noisy power environments |
| Low-power operation | 3μA ICC at +1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes and portable medical devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385LT44D4-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (1.5mm × 1.5mm) instead of 4-pin SC70 - higher thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W) | Better suited for high-density layouts where μDFN land pattern is already standardized; less suitable for minimal footprint designs | Select when board layout uses μDFN footprints or requires lower profile (0.55mm height vs. SC70's 0.95mm) |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold (not adjustable), 200ms timeout, 1.6μA ICC at 3.3V - lacks MR input and has different timing granularity | Targeted at simpler 3.3V-only systems without manual reset requirement; not drop-in for 4.38V/1120ms/MR use cases | Choose only if design uses 3.3V rail exclusively and does not require field-service reset or extended timeout |
Compared with MAX6385LT44D4-T, the MAX6385XS44D4-T offers smaller footprint and better thermal performance on standard PCBs, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades flexibility for ultra-low current - neither is pin-compatible, so layout changes are required for substitution.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6385XS44D4-T?
The MAX6385XS44D4-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 4.38V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet, where suffix "44" corresponds to VTH(nom) = 4.38V, VTH(min) = 4.27V, and VTH(max) = 4.48V. The MAX6385XS44D4-T uses this precise threshold to monitor 4.5V supply rails for brownout conditions.
Does the MAX6385XS44D4-T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6385XS44D4-T includes a dedicated active-low manual reset input (MR) on Pin 3. It features an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, allowing direct connection of a normally open momentary switch to GND. A low pulse ≥1µs on MR forces reset assertion for the full 1120ms timeout period. This MR function is explicitly documented for MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386/MAX6390 variants, confirming its presence in the MAX6385XS44D4-T.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6385XS44D4-T use?
The MAX6385XS44D4-T is packaged in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 (SOT-323) package with outline number 21-0098 and land pattern 90-0187. Its dimensions are 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, and it has thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on a multilayer board. This package is distinct from the 6-pin μDFN option used by LT-suffixed variants and is specified in the Ordering Information table for "XS" prefix parts.
What is the reset output configuration of the MAX6385XS44D4-T?
The MAX6385XS44D4-T features an active-high push-pull reset output on Pin 2. Unlike open-drain variants, it does not require an external pullup resistor. When asserted, RESET drives high; when deasserted, it actively pulls low to ensure clean logic transitions. This configuration is confirmed in the General Description and Selector Guide, which assign "push-pull active-high" to MAX6382/MAX6385/MAX6388 - the "XS" prefix and "44" suffix in MAX6385XS44D4-T place it in that group.
How does the MAX6385XS44D4-T behave during severe supply brownout?
The MAX6385XS44D4-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic reset assertion even during deep brownout. Its internal comparators and timer remain functional across the full 1.0V to 5.5V operating range. Below 1V, the device ceases operation, but the push-pull output retains its last valid state until VCC collapses further - a behavior validated in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET Output State Guaranteed Valid Down to VCC = 1V".
