Product details
Overview
The MAX6394US240D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power CMOS microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors VCC supply voltage and asserts an active-low open-drain RESET signal when voltage falls below 2.40V or upon manual reset assertion. It delivers ±1.0% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, features a factory-programmed 105ms minimum reset timeout period, and operates with only 5µA supply current at 5.5V. It is used in portable battery-powered equipment for reliable power-on and brownout reset control.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6394US240D3+T datasheet, MAX6394US240D3+T pinout, MAX6394US240D3+T application, or MAX6394US240D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.4V reset threshold, 105ms timeout, SOT143-4 package, open-drain output compatible with voltages up to 6V, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MAX6394US240D3+T implements a precision voltage-monitoring comparator with laser-trimmed internal resistive divider to set the 2.40V reset threshold, and integrates a temperature-stable monostable timer for the 105ms (min) reset timeout. Its MR input includes internal 63kΩ pullup and 100ns glitch rejection.
It uses an open-drain n-channel MOSFET for RESET output, enabling level-shifting across supplies (e.g., monitoring 3.3V VCC while pulling RESET to 5V), and remains functional down to VCC = 1.0V with guaranteed logic-low output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.40V ±1.0% from –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| Reset Timeout Period | 105ms (min), 280ms (max) - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at 5.5V - enables multi-year operation in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V logic domains |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET - allows pullup to any voltage ≤6V, enabling cross-supply reset signaling |
| MR Input | Internal 63kΩ pullup, 100ns glitch rejection - eliminates need for external debounce components |
| Package | SOT143-4 (4-pin) - compact 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint for space-constrained PCBs |
Pinout & Package
SOT143-4 package: 4-pin surface-mount plastic package with exposed pad (not electrically connected), 1.3mm × 2.9mm body size, 0.95mm height, 0.95mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET sink current; must be low-impedance connection |
| RESET (Pin 2) | Active-low open-drain output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pullup resistor (e.g., 10kΩ) to voltage ≤6V |
| MR (Pin 3) | Manual reset input | Logic-low assertion forces RESET active; internally pulled up to VCC (63kΩ); noise-immune with optional 0.1µF bypass |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Supply and monitor input | Powers device and provides monitored voltage source; threshold derived from internal trimmed divider |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G125DBVR | Fixed 1.25V threshold; adjustable timeout via external capacitor; 1.5µA quiescent current | Requires external timing component; lower supply current but not pin-compatible | Select when ultra-low power dominates and threshold flexibility is acceptable |
| ADM6315-24ARTZ-RL7 | 2.4V threshold, 200ms timeout, SOT23-4 package; ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature | Looser threshold tolerance (±2.5% vs. ±1.0%); same SOT footprint but different pinout (VCC/GND swapped) | Consider for cost-sensitive industrial designs where tighter accuracy is not required |
Compared with TPS3808G125DBVR and ADM6315-24ARTZ-RL7, the MAX6394US240D3+T offers superior temperature stability (±1.0% vs. ±2.5% or untrimmed), factory-set timing (no external cap), and true SOT143-4 pin compatibility - critical for drop-in replacement in automotive and medical designs demanding validated performance.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6394US240D3+T?
The MAX6394US240D3+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.40V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±0.6% at +25°C and ±1.0% across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is laser-trimmed during production and documented in Tables 1 and 2 of the official datasheet.
What is the reset timeout period for the MAX6394US240D3+T?
The MAX6394US240D3+T features a factory-programmed reset timeout period of 105ms (minimum), 200ms (typical), and 280ms (maximum). This interval begins when VCC rises above the 2.40V threshold or when the MR input is deasserted, ensuring robust processor initialization.
Can the RESET output of the MAX6394US240D3+T be pulled up to a voltage higher than VCC?
Yes, the MAX6394US240D3+T's open-drain RESET output is rated for voltages up to +6.0V, allowing it to be pulled up to a supply rail higher than VCC (e.g., 5V pullup while monitoring 3.3V VCC). This enables level-shifting functionality without external translators.
Is the MAX6394US240D3+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6394US240D3+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C), making it suitable for automotive body electronics, infotainment power management, and ADAS subsystems requiring certified reliability.
Does the MAX6394US240D3+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6394US240D3+T requires no external resistors or capacitors for core reset supervision. Only an external pullup resistor on RESET (e.g., 10kΩ) is needed. The MR input includes an internal 63kΩ pullup, and timing is fully internal - eliminating calibration and reducing BOM count.
