Product details
Overview
MAX6386LT28D7+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 2.80V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1200ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input (MR). It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered embedded systems where reliable power-on reset and brownout protection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6386LT28D7+T datasheet, MAX6386LT28D7+T pinout, MAX6386LT28D7+T application, or MAX6386LT28D7+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, 3μA supply current at 1.8V, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and compatibility with SC70-4 and μDFN-6 packages for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6386LT28D7+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with internal 2.80V reference and a monostable timeout timer triggered by VCC falling below threshold or MR assertion. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and remains valid down to VCC = 1V, enabling robust reset signaling during deep brownout conditions.
It features a dedicated debounced MR input with internal 63kΩ pullup resistor, supporting TTL/CMOS-compatible manual reset initiation without external components. The device operates across -40°C to +125°C and is RoHS-compliant with lead-free packaging.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.80V (nominal), ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate detection of 2.8V supply brownout without false triggers. |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1200ms (minimum) - guarantees μP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail recovery after brownout. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and portable devices. |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration with other reset sources and level-shifting via external pullup. |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with internal 63kΩ pullup - supports direct connection of momentary switch to GND; no external resistor required. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment applications. |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports reset generation even during severe undervoltage, ensuring deterministic behavior down to near-zero supply. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6386LT28D7+T is available in 4-pin SC70 (package code X4+1) and 6-pin μDFN (package code L611+1) packages. Both variants share identical pin functions and electrical characteristics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage source; powers internal circuitry and feeds reset comparator. |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; must be pulled up externally to assert logic-high when deasserted. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC; drives reset low when grounded. |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity and accurate threshold sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.80V with ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates need for external resistor dividers or calibration. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET output state defined down to VCC = 1V - prevents undefined logic states during deep brownout recovery. |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤ 100µs at 200mV overdrive - suppresses false resets caused by switching noise or ESD coupling. |
| Low-power operation | 3μA ICC at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes without compromising supervision reliability. |
| Debounced manual reset | MR input includes internal filtering and 63kΩ pullup - enables direct switch interface with no external RC network required. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR28D7+T | Same 2.80V threshold and 1200ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output and no MR input. | Lacks manual reset capability; requires external pullup only if interfacing with open-drain buses. | Select when MR functionality is unnecessary and board layout favors push-pull drive strength over wired-OR flexibility. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V threshold (not 2.80V), 1200ms timeout, push-pull active-low, no MR, higher 8μA ICC at 1.8V. | Higher threshold may cause earlier reset assertion on 2.8V rails; lacks MR for field service reset. | Choose only if 2.93V threshold aligns with system margin requirements and lower quiescent current is not critical. |
Compared with MAX6386LT28D7+T, MAX6326XR28D7+T offers simpler drive but no manual reset, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades threshold precision and ultra-low ICC for TI's production scalability-making MAX6386LT28D7+T optimal for battery-sensitive, MR-requiring designs needing exact 2.80V trip point.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6386LT28D7+T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6386LT28D7+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.80V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% across the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed bandgap reference circuitry and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet. The MAX6386LT28D7+T maintains this accuracy without external calibration components.
Does MAX6386LT28D7+T support manual reset, and what is the internal pullup value on the MR pin?
Yes, MAX6386LT28D7+T includes a debounced manual reset input (MR) pin with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. This allows direct connection of a normally open momentary switch between MR and GND to initiate a system reset without external components. The MR pin accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and remains functional across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range.
What package options are available for MAX6386LT28D7+T, and are both RoHS-compliant?
MAX6386LT28D7+T is offered in two RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free packages: 4-pin SC70 (outline 21-0098) and 6-pin μDFN (outline 21-0147). Both carry the "+T" suffix indicating lead-free/RoHS compliance. The SC70 variant uses package code X4+1; the μDFN uses L611+1. Land patterns and thermal data are published on maximintegrated.com/packages.
How does the open-drain RESET output of MAX6386LT28D7+T behave during deep brownout conditions?
The MAX6386LT28D7+T guarantees valid logic-state output on its open-drain RESET pin down to VCC = 1V - meaning it continues asserting active-low reset even as supply voltage collapses. Below 1V, the output enters high-impedance state. This behavior ensures deterministic reset signaling during severe undervoltage events, unlike push-pull variants that may float or oscillate near VCC dropout.
Is MAX6386LT28D7+T pin-compatible with legacy Maxim reset ICs like MAX809?
Yes, MAX6386LT28D7+T is pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810/MAX803 and other members of the MAX6326–MAX6348 series in the same package footprint (e.g., SC70-4 or μDFN-6). This allows drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB changes, provided the reset threshold (2.80V) and open-drain output configuration meet system requirements.
