Product details
Overview
MAX6394US317D3+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 VCC drops below 3.168V or when manual reset (MR) is asserted. It provides ±1.0% threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, 105ms minimum reset timeout, and 5µA supply current. Used in battery-powered controllers and critical μP power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6394US317D3+T datasheet, MAX6394US317D3+T pinout, MAX6394US317D3+T application, or MAX6394US317D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-trimmed 3.168V reset threshold, 105ms timeout, SOT143-4 package, open-drain output capable of pull-up beyond VCC, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MAX6394US317D3+T implements a precision voltage-monitoring comparator with laser-trimmed internal resistive divider to set its nominal 3.168V reset threshold. Its reset timeout is fixed at 105ms (min), generated by an internal RC timer unaffected by external components.
It features debounced manual reset input (MR) with 63kΩ internal pullup and immunity to VCC transients ≤100ns. The open-drain RESET output supports level-shifting-pullable to any voltage up to +6V independent of VCC, enabling interfacing across mixed-supply systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.168V ±1.0% from -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| Reset Timeout Period | 105ms (min), 200ms (typ), 280ms (max) - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 5µA (typ) at VCC = 3.6V, -40°C to +85°C - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered portable equipment |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports monitoring of 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V rails without external scaling |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain n-channel MOSFET - allows pull-up to voltages up to +6V, enabling level-shifted reset signaling across supply domains |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 0.3×VCC low threshold and 0.7×VCC high threshold - compatible with standard CMOS logic levels across VCC range |
| Package | SOT143-4 (4-pin) - 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, surface-mount compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
SOT143-4 package: 4-pin, single-row, gull-wing lead frame; 1.3mm × 2.9mm body size; 0.95mm height; RoHS-compliant, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET sink current; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 2 (RESET) | Active-low open-drain output | Drives low during reset assertion; requires external pullup (e.g., 10kΩ) to target supply (≤6V); supports level shifting |
| 3 (MR) | Manual reset input | Logic-low active; internally pulled up to VCC via 63kΩ resistor; accepts momentary switch to GND without external debounce |
| 4 (VCC) | Supply and monitor input | Power source and monitored rail; internal precision divider samples this node to detect undervoltage conditions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.168V with ±1.0% tolerance over full -40°C to +125°C range - eliminates calibration and external resistor networks |
| Fixed 105ms reset timeout | Guaranteed minimum delay ensures μP core and peripherals fully stabilize before release from reset state |
| Open-drain RESET with >VCC capability | Enables direct interface to 5V or 3.3V reset inputs even when monitoring a 1.8V or 2.5V supply rail |
| Internal MR pullup | 63kΩ resistor allows MR pin to float unconnected - reduces BOM count and simplifies layout for non-manual-reset designs |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches <100ns wide - prevents spurious resets during switching noise or ESD events |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 3.3V microcontroller supply in programmable logic controllers operating in factory environments with wide ambient temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting active-low reset during brownout or cold-start conditions to prevent corrupted firmware execution. Use Value: ±1.0% threshold accuracy ensures consistent reset behavior from -40°C to +125°C, eliminating field failures due to temperature-induced threshold drift. | Use Scenario: Power supervision of 3.3V domain in BCMs where supply stability is critical for door lock, lighting, and sensor interface functions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: AEC-Q100 qualified reset supervisor providing 105ms minimum reset hold time after VCC recovery to meet automotive startup timing requirements.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset supervisor ensuring clean boot after cold temperature-induced voltage sag during winter deployment. Use Value: Immunity to sub-100ns VCC transients prevents false resets caused by RF coupling or mechanical switch bounce in unshielded enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold; 200ms default timeout; 1.8V–6.0V VCC range; push-pull RESET output | Push-pull output limits level-shifting capability; no MR input debounce; higher 12µA ICC | Select when push-pull drive is required and 3.3V threshold suffices; verify RESET load compatibility |
| ADM6315-31ARTZ-R7 | 3.08V threshold; 200ms timeout; 1.2V–5.5V VCC; open-drain RESET; no MR input | Lacks manual reset functionality; tighter ±0.5% threshold spec but narrower temp range (-40°C to +85°C) | Choose when MR is unnecessary and higher threshold accuracy at room temperature is prioritized over extended temperature coverage |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and ADM6315-31ARTZ-R7, the MAX6394US317D3+T uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 105ms timeout, 3.168V threshold, MR input with internal pullup, and open-drain RESET capable of >VCC pull-up - making it optimal for automotive and industrial systems demanding robust, flexible reset control.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6394US317D3+T?
The MAX6394US317D3+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.168V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±1.0% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 2 of the official datasheet and corresponds directly to the "317" suffix in the part number.
Does the MAX6394US317D3+T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6394US317D3+T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input on Pin 3. A logic-low assertion on MR forces RESET low immediately and holds it for the full 105ms timeout period after MR returns high. An internal 63kΩ pullup resistor allows MR to remain unconnected if manual reset is not required.
Can the RESET output of the MAX6394US317D3+T be pulled up to a voltage higher than VCC?
Yes, the MAX6394US317D3+T features an open-drain RESET output rated for voltages up to +6.0V. This allows the RESET line to be pulled up to a higher-voltage rail (e.g., 5V) while monitoring a lower VCC (e.g., 3.3V), enabling level-shifted reset signaling across mixed-supply systems without additional components.
What is the minimum reset timeout period specified for the MAX6394US317D3+T?
The MAX6394US317D3+T is configured with the D3 timeout option, specifying a minimum reset timeout period of 105ms. Typical and maximum values are 200ms and 280ms respectively, all guaranteed over -40°C to +125°C. This ensures sufficient time for microprocessor core and peripheral initialization after power recovery.
Is the MAX6394US317D3+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6394US317D3+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. This qualification is explicitly stated in the Benefits and Features section of the datasheet and applies to the /V variant; however, the +T tape-and-reel packaging and SOT143-4 package used in MAX6394US317D3+T meet the same reliability and testing standards required for automotive-grade components.
