Product details
Overview
MAX6386XS16D1+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 1.58V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 1ms minimum reset timeout, and manual reset input (MR) featuring internal 63kΩ pullup. It monitors single supply voltage (1.0V–5.5V) in battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6386XS16D1+ datasheet, MAX6386XS16D1+ pinout, MAX6386XS16D1+ application, or MAX6386XS16D1+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, 3μA supply current at 1.8V, SC70-4 package footprint, MR debounce capability, and compatibility with critical μP reset timing requirements in space-constrained industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The MAX6386XS16D1+ implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a fixed 1ms minimum reset assertion period after VCC recovers above 1.58V or after MR release.
It features an open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup, a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 1µs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch rejection, and operates with valid logic states down to VCC = 1V - enabling robust reset signaling during deep brownout conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD1+T | Fixed 3.08V reset threshold, no MR input, SOT23-3 package | Lacks manual reset and low-voltage support; suitable only for 3.3V systems without user-initiated reset | Select when board space permits SOT23-3 and system requires higher threshold without MR functionality |
| TPS3808G01DBVR | Adjustable threshold via external resistor divider, 200ms min timeout, SOT23-6 package | Requires external components for threshold setting; longer timeout limits use in fast-booting applications | Choose when design flexibility for custom reset voltage outweighs BOM simplification and 1ms timing requirement |
Compared with MAX6386XS16D1+, MAX809TRD1+T offers smaller footprint but lacks MR and low-threshold capability, while TPS3808G01DBVR provides adjustability at the cost of added components and slower reset deassertion - making MAX6386XS16D1+ optimal for compact, battery-sensitive 1.8V/2.5V systems needing guaranteed 1ms reset hold and integrated MR.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6386XS16D1+ and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6386XS16D1+ has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 1.58V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 60ppm/°C, meaning the threshold drifts less than ±0.3% across the entire range - ensuring predictable reset behavior in automotive under-hood and industrial control cabinet deployments. This specification is validated per Maxim's production test flow and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table of the MAX6386XS16D1+ datasheet.
Does MAX6386XS16D1+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin, and what value is recommended?
Yes, MAX6386XS16D1+ features an open-drain active-low RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor to the host supply rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). A value between 10kΩ and 100kΩ is recommended: lower values improve noise immunity and rise time but increase static current; higher values reduce current consumption but may slow edge transitions in high-capacitance buses. The MAX6386XS16D1+ datasheet specifies VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 1.2mA (VCC ≥ 2.5V), confirming compatibility with standard pullup configurations used in μP reset networks.
Can MAX6386XS16D1+ operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.8V, and down to what voltage does it guarantee correct reset output state?
Yes, MAX6386XS16D1+ is fully specified to operate down to VCC = 1.0V, and its RESET output state is guaranteed valid (i.e., correctly asserted or deasserted) at all VCC levels ≥ 1.0V. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections of the MAX6386XS16D1+ datasheet, which specify "RESET Output State Guaranteed Valid Down to VCC = 1V". Below 1.0V, the device ceases functional operation, but the 1V guarantee ensures deterministic reset signaling through deep brownout conditions common in lithium coin-cell and supercapacitor backup scenarios.
What is the function of the MR pin on MAX6386XS16D1+, and does it require external components?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6386XS16D1+ is an active-low input that forces a reset when pulled below 0.3×VCC. It includes an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, so no external pullup is needed - a normally open momentary switch from MR to GND suffices for user-initiated reset. The MAX6386XS16D1+ datasheet confirms MR supports TTL/CMOS logic levels and specifies 1µs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch rejection, eliminating need for external debounce circuitry in most applications. This integration reduces BOM count and PCB area versus alternatives requiring discrete resistors or RC filters.
Is MAX6386XS16D1+ pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs like MAX809, and what are the key mechanical differences?
MAX6386XS16D1+ is functionally compatible but not pin-compatible with MAX809 series devices. While both provide reset supervision, MAX6386XS16D1+ uses a 4-pin SC70 package (pins: RESET, VCC, GND, MR), whereas MAX809 uses a 3-pin SOT23 package (RESET, VCC, GND) without MR. The SC70-4 footprint (2.0mm × 2.1mm) differs mechanically from SOT23 (2.9mm × 1.6mm), requiring PCB layout revision. However, the MAX6386XS16D1+ datasheet explicitly states pin compatibility with MAX809/MAX810/MAX803 families *in function*, not physical layout - meaning system-level redesign is needed to leverage MR and low-threshold advantages of MAX6386XS16D1+.
