Product details
Overview
MAX6394US300D1+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power CMOS microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors VCC supply voltage and provides a debounced manual reset input. It asserts an active-low open-drain RESET signal when VCC drops below 3.003V (±1% over −40°C to +125°C) or MR is pulled low, with a factory-programmed 0.7ms minimum reset timeout period. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V and draws only 5µA at +25°C, targeting battery-powered μP systems requiring high-accuracy power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6394US300D1+T datasheet, MAX6394US300D1+T pinout, MAX6394US300D1+T application, or MAX6394US300D1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±1.0% reset threshold accuracy across temperature, SOT143-4 package compatibility, 0.7ms reset timeout, immunity to short VCC transients, and ability to level-shift RESET above VCC using an external pullup.
Technical Context
The MAX6394US300D1+T implements a precision voltage-monitoring comparator with laser-trimmed internal resistors to set a nominal 3.003V reset threshold, maintaining ±1.0% accuracy from −40°C to +125°C. Its reset timeout is fixed at 0.7ms (min), generated by an internal RC timer independent of external components.
It features an integrated 63kΩ MR pullup resistor and accepts MR logic-low pulses as short as 1µs, with 100ns glitch rejection. The open-drain RESET output sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC > 4.25V and supports pullup voltages up to +6.0V - enabling level-shifting between monitored and reset-logic supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.003V ±1.0% (−40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Reset Timeout Period | 0.7ms (min); guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after VCC recovery |
| Supply Current | 5µA (typ at +25°C, VCC = 5.5V); enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports single-supply monitoring for 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V systems |
| MR Input Threshold | VIL = 0.3 × VCC (VTH < 4.0V); allows direct interface with standard CMOS logic without level translation |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain n-channel MOSFET; permits pullup to any voltage ≤6.0V, enabling supply-domain isolation |
| Package | SOT143-4 (4-pin); 1.3mm × 2.1mm footprint ideal for space-constrained portable designs |
Pinout & Package
SOT143-4 package: 4-pin surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, thermal resistance qJA = 290°C/W (four-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and RESET sink current; must be connected directly to system ground plane |
| RESET (Pin 2) | Active-low open-drain output | Drives low during reset; requires external pullup (e.g., 10kΩ) to define logic-high level - may exceed VCC up to +6.0V |
| MR (Pin 3) | Manual reset input | Logic-low assertion triggers reset; internal 63kΩ pullup allows NC connection; 1µs minimum pulse width supported |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Supply and monitor input | Power source and monitored rail; internal divider compares against laser-trimmed threshold; valid down to 1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.003V with ±1.0% tolerance over full −40°C to +125°C range eliminates calibration and external resistor networks |
| 0.7ms minimum reset timeout | Guarantees μP core and peripherals stabilize before release - no external capacitor or timing component required |
| Open-drain RESET with 6V tolerance | Enables level-shifting between disparate supply domains (e.g., 3.3V VCC monitored, 5V RESET pullup) |
| 5µA quiescent current | Extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as smart sensors and wearables |
| Immunity to sub-100ns VCC glitches | Prevents spurious resets during ESD events or switching noise without external RC filtering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G30DBVR | Fixed 3.0V threshold (±0.5% at +25°C, ±1.5% over temp); 200ms default timeout; 1.4µA ICC | Higher accuracy at room temp but wider tolerance over temperature; longer timeout limits use in fast-recovery systems | Select if ultra-low ICC dominates design priority and 200ms reset hold is acceptable |
| ADM6315-30ARTZ-RL7 | 3.0V threshold (±2.0% over −40°C to +85°C); 240ms timeout; SOT23-4 package; no MR input | Lacks manual reset functionality and has reduced temperature range and accuracy vs. MAX6394US300D1+T | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where MR is unnecessary and extended temp range is not required |
Compared with TPS3808G30DBVR and ADM6315-30ARTZ-RL7, the MAX6394US300D1+T offers tighter ±1.0% threshold stability across −40°C to +125°C, a shorter 0.7ms timeout for rapid system recovery, and integrated MR with internal pullup - making it optimal for AEC-Q100–qualified portable and automotive edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6394US300D1+T?
The MAX6394US300D1+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.003V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±1.0% across the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in Table 2 of the official datasheet and applies specifically to the "300" suffix variant. The MAX6394US300D1+T does not require external calibration or trimming to achieve this accuracy.
Does the MAX6394US300D1+T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6394US300D1+T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input on Pin 3. A logic-low pulse ≥1µs on MR asserts RESET immediately and holds it active for the full 0.7ms timeout period after MR returns high. An internal 63kΩ pullup resistor allows MR to be left unconnected if unused - eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor in most designs.
Can the RESET output of the MAX6394US300D1+T be pulled up to a voltage higher than VCC?
Yes, the MAX6394US300D1+T features an open-drain RESET output rated for voltages up to +6.0V, regardless of VCC level. This allows level-shifting - for example, monitoring a 3.3V VCC while pulling RESET up to a 5V domain. The datasheet specifies absolute maximum ratings of −0.3V to +6.0V on the RESET pin, and the output can safely sink up to 3.2mA when VCC > 4.25V.
What is the supply current consumption of the MAX6394US300D1+T at different temperatures?
The MAX6394US300D1+T draws 5µA typical supply current at +25°C with VCC = 5.5V. At −40°C to +85°C, ICC remains ≤12µA; at −40°C to +125°C, it increases to ≤15µA. These values are measured with no load and reflect true quiescent operation - critical for battery longevity in always-on monitoring applications using the MAX6394US300D1+T.
Is the MAX6394US300D1+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6394US300D1+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C), as explicitly stated in the Benefits and Features section of the datasheet. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and reliability - confirming suitability for under-hood and cabin automotive electronics where the MAX6394US300D1+T performs critical power-supply supervision.
