Product details
Overview
MAX6405BS46-T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-trimmed 4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C), 100ms minimum reset timeout, and 500nA typical supply current at 3.0V. It monitors regulated system voltages in portable battery-powered equipment where reliable power-on reset and brownout protection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6405BS46-T datasheet, MAX6405BS46-T pinout, MAX6405BS46-T application, or MAX6405BS46-T equivalent, this device delivers precise voltage supervision with guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V, immunity to fast VCC transients, manual reset input support, and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins via external pullup.
Technical Context
The MAX6405BS46-T implements a precision bandgap reference comparator with factory-trimmed 4.63V threshold and 9.5mV hysteresis, ensuring stable reset assertion during voltage sags. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and interfaces directly with microcontrollers having bidirectional reset pins.
It features a manual reset input (MR) with internal 50kΩ pullup, 1µs minimum pulse width requirement, and 100ns glitch rejection. The device guarantees correct logic state for VCC as low as 1.0V and ignores transients shorter than 200ns at full overdrive.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UR46-T | Same 4.63V threshold, push-pull active-low output, 1.6µA ICC (vs. 0.5µA) | Requires no external pullup but draws >3× more quiescent current | Select when board layout prohibits external pullup or when higher drive strength is needed |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold, not 4.63V; SOT-23-5 package; 1.5µA ICC | Not a voltage-match alternative; suitable only if system rail is 3.3V, not 4.6V | Choose only for 3.3V systems; requires redesign of reset threshold and PCB footprint |
Compared with MAX6405BS46-T, MAX6326UR46-T offers pin-compatible push-pull drive but sacrifices ultra-low power for simplicity, while TPS3808G33DBVR serves a different voltage class entirely and demands full schematic and layout revision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6405BS46-T?
The MAX6405BS46-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold voltage of 4.63V, with tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet and corresponds to the "46" suffix in the part number. The MAX6405BS46-T is specifically selected for systems powered by 4.5V–5.0V rails where precise brownout detection is required.
Does the MAX6405BS46-T require an external pullup resistor on its RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX6405BS46-T features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor to the system VCC rail. This configuration enables wired-OR reset bus architectures and direct interfacing with microcontrollers that have bidirectional reset pins. The datasheet confirms this requirement in the Pin Description and Applications Information sections. Without the pullup, the MAX6405BS46-T cannot assert a valid high-level signal on RESET.
Can the MAX6405BS46-T operate reliably when VCC drops below 2.0V?
Yes, the MAX6405BS46-T guarantees correct reset output logic state for VCC down to 1.0V, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its internal circuitry remains functional and asserts RESET low whenever VCC falls below 4.63V-even at 1.2V supply-making it suitable for deep brownout recovery in battery-powered devices. This behavior is validated across –40°C to +85°C.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6405BS46-T?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the MAX6405BS46-T is an active-low input with an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low initiates a reset pulse that remains asserted for the full 100ms timeout period, even after MR returns high. This allows pushbutton-based system reset without external components. The MAX6405BS46-T datasheet specifies 1µs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch rejection on MR.
Is the MAX6405BS46-T compatible with bidirectional microcontroller reset pins?
Yes, the MAX6405BS46-T is explicitly designed for interoperability with bidirectional µP reset pins due to its open-drain RESET output. When connected with a single external pullup resistor, both the MAX6405BS46-T and the microcontroller can drive the shared reset line low - enabling coordinated reset initiation from either device. This capability is documented in the Applications Information section and Figure 2 of the MAX6405BS46-T datasheet.
