Product details
Overview
MAX6384XS26D3+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.63V reset threshold, 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, active-low push-pull reset output, and debounced manual reset input (MR). It monitors +1.8V to +5.0V supply rails in battery-powered controllers and portable instrumentation, consuming only 3μA at +1.8V and guaranteeing valid reset state down to VCC = 1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6384XS26D3+ datasheet, MAX6384XS26D3+ pinout, MAX6384XS26D3+ application, or MAX6384XS26D3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, MR internal pullup resistance of 63kΩ, negative-going VCC transient immunity, and compatibility with dual-voltage systems requiring reliable power-on reset sequencing.
Technical Context
The MAX6384XS26D3+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and an internal monostable timer for reset assertion timing. Its reset logic asserts active-low RESET when VCC falls below 2.63V (±2.5% over temperature) and holds it for ≥140ms after VCC recovers above threshold.
It integrates a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 63kΩ internal pullup, supporting TTL/CMOS-compatible triggering and eliminating external debounce components. The push-pull output drives high-impedance loads directly without external pullup, delivering VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 1.2mA (VCC ≥ 2.5V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for microcontroller initialization and memory stabilization |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and wearables |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and supports direct connection to μP RESET pin |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch-to-GND interface without external components |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Reset Output Validity | Valid down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during power ramp-down |
Pinout & Package
MAX6384XS26D3+ is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - must be decoupled with 0.1μF capacitor near pin for transient immunity |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - drives low during fault; high-impedance state not supported; no external pullup required |
| 3 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; driven low to force reset; immune to <100ns glitches |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.63V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor network and calibration effort |
| Debounced manual reset input | MR pin with integrated 63kΩ pullup and 1μs minimum pulse width requirement - removes need for RC filters or logic gates |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Rejects transients ≤35μs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets during switching noise or ESD events |
| Low-voltage operation guarantee | Valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset deassertion during power collapse |
| Pin compatibility | Drop-in replacement for MAX809/MAX6326/MAX6346 families - enables legacy design upgrades without PCB revision |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Battery-Powered Data Loggers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous glucose monitor powered by CR2032 coin cell with intermittent BLE transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises VCC during cold-start and battery depletion; asserts RESET until regulated 3.3V rail stabilizes post-LDO turn-on. Use Value: 3μA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 3 years; 140ms timeout ensures reliable MCU boot before sensor initialization. |
Use Scenario: Environmental data logger using MSP430 MCU, sampling temperature/humidity every 5 minutes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors main 3.0V supply and triggers hardware reset if brownout occurs during flash write operations. Use Value: ±2.5% threshold accuracy prevents false resets at marginal battery voltages; MR pin enables field firmware recovery via button press. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Dual-Voltage Microcontroller Systems |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted I/O module with isolated 5V and 3.3V rails powering FPGA and analog front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary supervisor for 3.3V logic rail; coordinated reset sequencing with secondary supervisor on 5V rail. Use Value: Push-pull output drives FPGA PROG_B pin directly; 2.63V threshold matches 3.3V LDO dropout margin. |
Use Scenario: ARM Cortex-M4 system with separate 1.2V core and 3.3V I/O supplies, requiring synchronized reset release. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3V I/O rail; RESET output held active until both rails exceed thresholds and timeout expires. Use Value: Valid RESET down to VCC = 1V ensures clean release timing even during asymmetric power ramp-up. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR26D3+ | Same 2.63V threshold and 140ms timeout, but no MR input - push-pull active-low output only | Lacks manual reset capability; suitable only for systems with software-only reset control | Select when MR functionality is unnecessary and cost minimization is critical |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V threshold (not 2.63V); 200ms timeout (not 140ms); 1.8–6.0V operating range; 2.5μA ICC at 3.3V | Higher threshold limits use in 2.8V or 3.0V systems; longer timeout may delay boot in latency-sensitive designs | Choose only if 2.93V threshold aligns with system LDO specification and 200ms delay is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6326XR26D3+, MAX6384XS26D3+ adds essential MR functionality for field serviceability; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers tighter threshold matching (2.63V vs 2.93V) and shorter, more deterministic reset hold time (140ms vs 200ms) for 3.0V–3.3V rail supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6384XS26D3+?
The MAX6384XS26D3+ has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This means the actual threshold falls between 2.56V and 2.69V at any temperature within that range, ensuring robust brownout detection without external calibration.
Does MAX6384XS26D3+ support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6384XS26D3+ includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low forces an immediate reset; the device holds RESET active for the full 140ms timeout after MR is released. No external components are needed - a simple momentary switch from MR to GND suffices.
What package type and footprint does MAX6384XS26D3+ use?
MAX6384XS26D3+ is supplied in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), with land pattern number 90-0187. Its compact 2.0mm × 2.1mm body and 0.65mm pin pitch enable high-density PCB layouts, and its RoHS-compliant lead-free construction meets modern environmental standards.
Can MAX6384XS26D3+ operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, MAX6384XS26D3+ guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this, the internal circuitry may not function, but above 1.0V - including during power-down sequences - RESET remains asserted or deasserted as specified, enabling safe microcontroller shutdown in deep brownout conditions.
How does MAX6384XS26D3+ handle short voltage transients on the VCC line?
MAX6384XS26D3+ provides inherent immunity to negative-going VCC transients: it will not assert reset for glitches ≤35μs wide when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV. Adding a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pin further enhances immunity against fast switching noise and ESD-induced dips.
