Product details
Overview
MAX6405BS44-T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-trimmed 4.38V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C), 100ms minimum reset timeout, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V. It monitors regulated system voltages in portable battery-powered equipment where supply current below 1µA is critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6405BS44-T datasheet, MAX6405BS44-T pinout, MAX6405BS44-T application, or MAX6405BS44-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.38V trip point, open-drain output configuration, UCSP-4 package compatibility with high-density layouts, and immunity to sub-200ns VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6405BS44-T uses a precision bandgap reference comparator to monitor VCC against a factory-trimmed 4.38V threshold, asserting RESET low when VCC falls below that level. Its internal timer guarantees a minimum 100ms reset pulse after VCC rises above threshold, with hysteresis of 9.5mV to prevent chatter during brownout recovery.
It features a manual reset input (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic levels, and 1µs minimum MR pulse width. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and interfaces directly with microcontrollers having bidirectional reset pins without additional logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 4.38V nominal, ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable power-on reset for 4.5V nominal systems with margin |
| Reset Timeout Period | 100ms (min), 280ms (max) - meets µP power-up initialization timing requirements across temperature |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (max) at +85°C, 0.5µA (typ) at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable devices |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and full-system voltage scaling |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR reset bus sharing and interface with bidirectional µP reset pins |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Rejects negative transients <100ns at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets in noisy power environments |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup - eliminates external components for manual reset implementation |
Pinout & Package
MAX6405BS44-T is housed in a 4-bump (2×2 mm) UCSP chip-scale package (UCSP-4), offering 70% smaller footprint than SC70 and optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and reset comparator |
| B1 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pullup resistor to VCC or another rail |
| B2 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (50kΩ); asserts reset when pulled to GND |
| A2 | VCC | Supply voltage input and monitored rail; powers device and serves as reset threshold reference source |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 4.38V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider and calibration, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Ultra-low 0.5µA typical supply current | Extends battery runtime in always-on monitoring applications such as smart sensors and wearables |
| Guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout or backup battery switchover |
| Open-drain output with no internal pullup | Enables flexible voltage-level translation and shared reset bus architectures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6403BS44-T | Same 4.38V threshold and UCSP-4 package, but push-pull active-low output | Requires no external pullup; not suitable for wired-OR or bidirectional reset buses | Select when single-point reset drive is sufficient and board space permits slightly higher output drive current |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold, SOT-23-5 package, 1.8µA max ICC, 200ms timeout | Higher supply current and fixed 3.3V trip unsuitable for 4.5V systems; different pinout and package | Consider only if redesigning for lower-voltage rails and requiring longer timeout or different thermal profile |
Compared with MAX6405BS44-T, MAX6403BS44-T offers simpler drive but sacrifices bus-sharing capability, while TPS3808G33DBVR targets different voltage domains and lacks the ultra-low ICC and 1V reset guarantee essential for battery-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6405BS44-T?
The MAX6405BS44-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.38V, with tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet and corresponds to the "44" suffix in the part number. At +25°C, the typical threshold is 4.38V, with min/max limits of 4.270V and 4.489V respectively.
Does the MAX6405BS44-T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX6405BS44-T features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor to function correctly. The datasheet specifies that the RESET pin must be pulled up to VCC or another appropriate rail; no internal pullup is provided. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements.
Can the MAX6405BS44-T operate reliably below 2.0V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6405BS44-T is guaranteed to assert a valid reset signal down to VCC = 1.0V, and its specified operating range begins at 1.2V. This capability ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions, backup battery switchover, or low-voltage wake-up sequences - a key differentiator from many competing supervisors.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6405BS44-T?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the MAX6405BS44-T is an active-low input with a 50kΩ internal pullup resistor to VCC. Pulling MR to GND initiates a reset pulse lasting the full reset timeout period (≥100ms) after MR returns high. It supports direct connection to momentary switches or logic outputs without external components, and accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible voltage levels.
Is the MAX6405BS44-T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6400–MAX6405 family?
Yes, all MAX6400–MAX6405 variants, including the MAX6405BS44-T, share identical UCSP-4 pinout (GND, RESET, MR, VCC) and footprint. However, output type differs: MAX6405BS44-T uses open-drain active-low, while MAX6403BS44-T uses push-pull active-low. Swapping them requires verifying reset bus topology and pullup requirements.
