Product details
Overview
MAX6394US317D4+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 features a factory-trimmed 3.168V reset threshold (±1% over -40°C to +125°C), 826ms minimum reset timeout period, 5µA supply current, and open-drain RESET output capable of being pulled up to 6V - used in battery-powered controllers and critical μP power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6394US317D4+T datasheet, MAX6394US317D4+T pinout, MAX6394US317D4+T application, or MAX6394US317D4+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy across temperature, immunity to short VCC transients, SOT143 package footprint compatibility, and open-drain level-shifting capability for multi-rail systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6394US317D4+T implements a precision voltage-monitoring comparator with laser-trimmed internal resistive divider to set its 3.168V reset threshold, and an internal monostable timer that guarantees RESET remains asserted for ≥826ms after VCC rises above threshold or MR deasserts. Its reset assertion logic is edge- and level-sensitive, with glitch rejection on MR input and immunity to sub-100ns VCC transients.
It uses an open-drain n-channel MOSFET for RESET output, enabling pullup to any voltage ≤6V independent of VCC - supporting level-shifted reset signaling between disparate supply domains. The device operates from 1.0V to 5.5V VCC and maintains functional reset assertion down to VCC = 1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.168V ±1% from -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 826ms minimum - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power recovery. |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at +25°C - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports wide-input monitoring including 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V rails. |
| MR Input Threshold | VIL = 0.3 × VCC, VIH = 0.7 × VCC - compatible with standard CMOS logic levels across VCC range. |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain, rated to 6V - allows pullup to higher-voltage rails (e.g., 5V) while monitoring 3.3V VCC. |
| Tempco | 60 ppm/°C - limits threshold drift to <±30mV over full temperature range. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT143-4 (4-pin, 1.3mm × 2.9mm, 0.95mm height), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel packaging (2.5k/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and RESET sink current; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 2 (RESET) | Active-low open-drain output | Asserts logic-low during reset; requires external pullup resistor (e.g., 10kΩ) to target rail (≤6V). |
| 3 (MR) | Manual reset input | Logic-low initiates reset; includes 63kΩ internal pullup - can be left floating if unused. |
| 4 (VCC) | Supply voltage and monitor input | Power source and monitored rail; internally divided to compare against 3.168V threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.168V with ±1% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C - eliminates need for external resistor network calibration. |
| Four selectable timeout periods | 826ms minimum for MAX6394US317D4+T - matches long-boot microcontrollers without requiring external timing components. |
| Open-drain RESET with 6V rating | Enables level-shifting: e.g., monitor 3.3V VCC while pulling RESET to 5V logic domain - no level translator IC needed. |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches <100ns duration - prevents spurious resets during switching noise or ESD events. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 5µA typical - extends battery life in portable equipment by minimizing standby power draw. |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Portable Medical Devices |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: PLC I/O modules powered from 3.3V rails operating in factory environments with voltage sags and EMI. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting reset during brownout to prevent firmware corruption and ensure deterministic restart.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates clean, extended reset pulse to coordinate MCU, RTC, and isolation barrier initialization. Use Value: 826ms timeout exceeds typical isolation transformer startup delay; open-drain output interfaces directly to isolated side logic. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.5µA ICC, SOT23-5 package | Lacks manual reset input; tighter threshold tolerance (±0.5%) but shorter timeout | Select when minimal current draw and high threshold accuracy are prioritized over manual reset and long timeout. |
| ADM6315-33ARJZ-RL7 | 3.3V threshold, 200ms timeout, 10µA ICC, SOT23-4 package, no MR input | No manual reset function; higher supply current; same SOT23 footprint but different pinout | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where MR is unnecessary and 200ms reset suffices. |
