Product details
Overview
MAX6394US480D1+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 4.800V or when manual reset (MR) is asserted. It features ±0.6% threshold accuracy at +25°C, 0.7ms minimum reset timeout, 5µA supply current, and operates from -40°C to +125°C. It is used in battery-powered controllers requiring precise brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6394US480D1+T datasheet, MAX6394US480D1+T pinout, MAX6394US480D1+T application, or MAX6394US480D1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-trimmed 4.8V reset threshold, SOT143-4 package compatibility, open-drain output capable of level-shifting above VCC, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MAX6394US480D1+T implements a precision voltage-monitoring comparator with laser-trimmed internal resistive divider to set its nominal 4.800V reset threshold. Its reset timeout period is fixed at 0.7ms (min), generated by an internal RC timer independent of external components.
It uses an open-drain n-channel MOSFET for RESET output, enabling pullup to any voltage ≤6V - including supplies higher than VCC - supporting level-shifted reset signaling. MR includes a 63kΩ internal pullup and 100ns glitch rejection, eliminating need for external debounce circuitry.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB48DBZR | 4.8V threshold, 35ms timeout, SOT23-3 package, no MR input | Lacks manual reset functionality and offers longer timeout; suited for simpler reset-only use cases | Select when MR is unnecessary and board space permits SOT23-3 footprint |
| ADM6315-48ARTZ-RL | 4.8V threshold, 200ms timeout, SOT23-3, no MR, ±2% accuracy over temperature | Lower accuracy (±2% vs. ±1%) and fixed 200ms timeout limit flexibility in fast-recovery systems | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for tight threshold tolerance and short timeout |
Compared with TLV803EB48DBZR and ADM6315-48ARTZ-RL, the MAX6394US480D1+T uniquely combines 0.7ms timeout, MR input, ±0.6% room-temp accuracy, and AEC-Q100 qualification - making it optimal for automotive and industrial designs demanding rapid, robust, and configurable reset behavior.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6394US480D1+T?
The MAX6394US480D1+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.800V, with ±0.6% accuracy at +25°C (4.771V to 4.829V) and ±1.0% accuracy from -40°C to +125°C (4.752V to 4.848V). This value is laser-trimmed during production and specified in Tables 1 and 2 of the MAX6394US480D1+T datasheet.
Does the MAX6394US480D1+T require external components to operate?
No, the MAX6394US480D1+T requires no external components for basic operation. Its reset threshold and timeout period are factory-programmed; only an external pullup resistor on the open-drain RESET pin is needed. The MR pin includes a 63kΩ internal pullup, so it may be left floating if unused.
Can the RESET output of the MAX6394US480D1+T be pulled up to a voltage higher than VCC?
Yes, the MAX6394US480D1+T's open-drain RESET output can be pulled up to any voltage between 0V and +6.0V - including supplies higher than VCC. This enables level-shifting functionality, such as using a 5V pullup while monitoring a 3.3V VCC rail, which is explicitly supported per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
What is the reset timeout period of the MAX6394US480D1+T?
The MAX6394US480D1+T has a minimum reset timeout period of 0.7ms, with typical and maximum values of 1.4ms and 2.0ms respectively. This fixed timeout is internally generated and does not depend on external capacitors or resistors, ensuring consistent reset assertion duration across temperature and voltage.
Is the MAX6394US480D1+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6394US480D1+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It is rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C and meets stress testing requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - making it suitable for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
