Product details
Overview
MAX6386LT44D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 4.38V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input (MR). It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered or embedded systems where reliable power-on reset and brownout protection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6386LT44D3+T datasheet, MAX6386LT44D3+T pinout, MAX6386LT44D3+T application, or MAX6386LT44D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SC70 package, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, ±2.5% threshold accuracy across automotive temperature range, and compatibility with manual reset switch interfaces requiring no external debounce.
Technical Context
The MAX6386LT44D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 60ppm/°C tempco and internal 140ms timeout timer. Its MR input features a 63kΩ internal pullup resistor and rejects <100ns glitches, enabling robust manual reset initiation without external components.
This device uses an open-drain RESET output requiring an external pullup resistor, ensuring level-shifting capability and wired-OR compatibility in multi-supervisor systems. Reset assertion is guaranteed for VCC ≥ 1.0V, supporting operation during deep brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V nominal (4.27V–4.48V min/max), factory-trimmed for stable monitoring of 4.5V rails |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum after VCC rise above threshold - ensures sufficient μP initialization time |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain active-low - supports mixed-voltage systems and bus arbitration via external pullup |
| Manual Reset Input | Debounced MR with 63kΩ internal pullup - allows direct connection to momentary switch without RC network |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% over full temperature range - eliminates need for system-level calibration in harsh environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6386LT44D3+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, optimized for space-constrained portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Power supply input | Monitored voltage rail (1.0V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and sets reset threshold reference |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; must be low-impedance to ensure accurate threshold detection |
| 3 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Logic-low pulse forces reset assertion; internal 63kΩ pullup holds high when unused |
| 4 - RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Drives low during reset; requires external pullup resistor to host logic rail (e.g., 10kΩ to 3.3V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set reset threshold | 4.38V with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C - eliminates external resistor divider and calibration effort |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Functional down to VCC = 1.0V - ensures deterministic reset state during severe brownout before power collapse |
| MR input immunity | 100ns glitch rejection and 1µs minimum pulse width - prevents spurious resets from EMI or switch bounce |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Withstands VCC dips up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive - suppresses false triggers from digital switching noise |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes beyond 10 years (typical) |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Power Sequencing | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR43D3+T | Same 4-pin SC70 package, 4.30V reset threshold, but push-pull active-low output (no external pullup required) | Lacks manual reset input (MR); not suitable for systems requiring operator-initiated reset | Select when board layout prohibits external pullup or MR functionality is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, SOT-23-5 package; higher 8μA ICC at 3.3V | Includes watchdog timer (absent in MAX6386LT44D3+T); requires 5th pin for WDI | Choose when watchdog supervision is mandatory and 5-pin footprint is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6386LT44D3+T, MAX6326XR43D3+T simplifies schematic design by eliminating the pullup resistor but sacrifices manual reset capability; TPS3808G33DBVR adds watchdog functionality at the cost of higher quiescent current and larger footprint - making MAX6386LT44D3+T optimal for MR-dependent, ultra-low-power 4-pin applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6386LT44D3+T and how is it specified?
The MAX6386LT44D3+T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 4.38V, with guaranteed limits of 4.27V (min) and 4.48V (max) at +25°C, and ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is encoded in the "44" suffix per the Reset Threshold table in the datasheet, and applies specifically to the MAX6386 variant with LT prefix and D3 timeout.
Does MAX6386LT44D3+T support manual reset, and what are the electrical requirements for the MR pin?
Yes, MAX6386LT44D3+T includes a debounced manual reset input (MR) with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. The MR pin accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels: VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC (for VTH < 4V) and VIL ≤ 0.3×VCC. A logic-low pulse ≥1µs forces reset assertion, and the device guarantees 100ns glitch rejection to prevent false triggering.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6386LT44D3+T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6386LT44D3+T is supplied in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with 0.65mm lead pitch. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant, with thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on a multilayer board.
How does the open-drain RESET output of MAX6386LT44D3+T function, and what external component is required?
The RESET output of MAX6386LT44D3+T is open-drain active-low and requires an external pullup resistor to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). When asserted, it sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOL ≤ 0.4V); leakage is ≤1.0µA when deasserted. This configuration enables level shifting and wired-OR reset bus implementation.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6386LT44D3+T guarantees correct reset output state?
MAX6386LT44D3+T guarantees valid RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, meaning the open-drain output remains functional and correctly asserted/deasserted even during deep brownout conditions. This specification is explicitly confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and ensures deterministic behavior prior to complete power collapse.
