Product details
Overview
MAX6384XS26D4+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.63V reset threshold, 1120ms VCC reset timeout, and debounced active-low manual reset input. It features push-pull active-low reset output, operates from +1.0V to +5.5V supply, consumes only 3µA at +1.8V, and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V. It is used in portable battery-powered equipment for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6384XS26D4+ datasheet, MAX6384XS26D4+ pinout, MAX6384XS26D4+ application, or MAX6384XS26D4+ equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), manual reset debounce integration, SC70-4 package footprint, and compatibility with legacy MAX809/MAX6326 families in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6384XS26D4+ integrates a precision voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, a programmable reset timeout timer, and an internal 63kΩ pullup on the MR pin. Its push-pull active-low RESET output drives directly without external pullup, and its reset assertion is guaranteed functional down to VCC = 1V - enabling robust operation during deep brownout conditions.
It supports dual reset initiation: automatic detection of VCC falling below 2.63V (with 1120ms minimum timeout), and manual assertion via MR pin (low-active, internally pulled up). The device uses BiCMOS process (647 transistors) and exhibits negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs for 100mV overdrive, per typical operating characteristics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V (factory-set, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C) - ensures deterministic reset activation across industrial temperature range |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1120ms (minimum) - holds µP in reset long enough for stable power rail recovery and clock stabilization |
| Supply Current | 3µA at +1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable instrumentation |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports operation during severe brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V logic domains |
| MR Input Pullup | 63kΩ internal resistor - eliminates need for external pullup and enables direct switch-to-GND connection |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - provides rail-to-rail drive strength without external components |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 35µs (VCC falling edge) - ensures fast response to supply collapse while rejecting sub-µs noise |
Pinout & Package
MAX6384XS26D4+ is housed in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4-1), measuring 1.5mm × 1.0mm × 0.8mm, suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - powers internal circuitry and serves as reference for fixed-threshold reset detection |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - asserts low during fault condition and remains low for full 1120ms timeout after recovery |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - forces reset when pulled low; internally pulled up to VCC (63kΩ), eliminating external component |
| 4 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold comparison and noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.63V with ±2.5% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C - eliminates calibration overhead and ensures consistent system-level reset behavior |
| Integrated MR debounce | No external RC network required - internal timing rejects <100ns glitches and ensures clean reset assertion from mechanical switches |
| Valid RESET down to VCC = 1V | Guaranteed logic state integrity during deep undervoltage - prevents µP from executing undefined instructions during final stage of power collapse |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Rejects 35µs transients at 100mV overdrive - suppresses false resets caused by switching noise or ESD-induced supply dips |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3µA at +1.8V - reduces standby power in battery-backed real-time clocks and sensor nodes |

This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external calibration. The '26' suffix in MAX6384XS26D4+ explicitly denotes the 2.63V threshold per Maxim's ordering guide.
Does MAX6384XS26D4+ require an external pullup resistor on the MR pin?
No, MAX6384XS26D4+ includes an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor on the MR pin, allowing direct connection of a momentary switch between MR and GND without external components. This internal pullup ensures reliable logic-high idle state and eliminates BOM count and layout area for discrete resistors.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6384XS26D4+?
The RESET output of MAX6384XS26D4+ is an active-low push-pull driver that asserts low when VCC falls below 2.63V or when the MR pin is pulled low. It remains low for a guaranteed minimum of 1120ms after VCC recovers above threshold or MR is released. Unlike open-drain variants, it requires no external pullup and drives rail-to-rail.
Can MAX6384XS26D4+ operate reliably at VCC = 1.0V?
Yes, MAX6384XS26D4+ guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This ensures deterministic microprocessor reset behavior even during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors may fail.
