Product details
Overview
MAX6386XS16D3-T 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), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input (MR) featuring internal 63kΩ pullup. It monitors single supply voltage (VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V) in battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6386XS16D3-T datasheet, MAX6386XS16D3-T pinout, MAX6386XS16D3-T application, or MAX6386XS16D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, negative-going VCC transient immunity, SC70-4 package footprint compatibility, and precise 1.58V threshold for 1.8V logic rail supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6386XS16D3-T 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 140ms minimum reset assertion period after VCC recovery or MR release.
It features an active-low open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup, a debounced MR input with 1µs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch rejection, and guaranteed correct logic state for VCC ≥ 1V - enabling robust operation during deep brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.58V (nominal), ±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate detection of 1.8V supply brownout before system instability. |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms (minimum) - guarantees sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization and clock stabilization. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in portable IoT sensors and wearables. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports direct monitoring of core rails (1.2V, 1.8V, 3.3V, 5.0V) without external level shifting. |
| MR Input Pullup | 63kΩ internal resistor - eliminates need for external pullup and enables direct connection to momentary switches. |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration with multiple reset sources and flexible voltage-level interfacing. |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Validated against negative-going glitches per Typical Operating Characteristics graph - reduces false resets in noisy power environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6386XS16D3-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, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| 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 | Open-drain active-low reset output - requires external pullup resistor (typically 10kΩ–100kΩ) to host logic voltage. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; driven low to force system reset independent of VCC condition. |
| 4 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 1.58V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider for 1.8V rail supervision - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| 140ms guaranteed reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD8-12B requirements for μP reset hold time - ensures deterministic boot sequence. |
| Debounced MR input with 63kΩ pullup | Supports direct switch interface without external RC network - simplifies front-panel reset design. |
| Valid reset output down to VCC = 1V | Prevents metastability during deep brownout - maintains known processor state until full power recovery. |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Withstands ≤100mV, ≤10µs transients without spurious reset - improves reliability in shared power domains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3-T | Same 1.58V threshold and 140ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output and no MR input. | Lacks manual reset capability; requires external pullup only if interfacing with higher-voltage logic. | Select when MR functionality is unnecessary and board space permits minor rework for push-pull drive. |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | 1.55V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms timeout, 1.8V–6.0V VCC range, and MR input - higher accuracy but longer timeout. | Better threshold tolerance but incompatible reset timing; requires validation of host MCU's minimum reset pulse requirement. | Choose for high-precision applications where 140ms is insufficient and tighter threshold spec justifies redesign effort. |
Compared with MAX809TRD3-T, MAX6386XS16D3-T adds essential manual reset capability in identical SC70-4 footprint; versus TPS3808G15DBVR, it delivers shorter, more deterministic reset timing critical for fast-boot MCUs - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 1.8V embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6386XS16D3-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6386XS16D3-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 1.58V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 60ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is limited to approximately ±12mV across the entire range - sufficient for reliable supervision of 1.8V logic rails without external calibration.
Does MAX6386XS16D3-T require an external pullup resistor on its RESET pin?
Yes, MAX6386XS16D3-T features an open-drain active-low RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor to the host logic voltage (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V). A typical value is 10kΩ to 100kΩ; lower values improve rise time but increase static current, while higher values reduce current but may degrade noise immunity in high-EMI environments.
Can MAX6386XS16D3-T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6386XS16D3-T is guaranteed to function correctly down to VCC = 1.0V, including valid reset assertion and deassertion. Its reset output remains logically defined even at 1.0V, unlike many competitors that lose output validity below 1.5V - making it ideal for deep brownout scenarios in battery-powered devices.
What is the purpose and electrical behavior of the MR pin on MAX6386XS16D3-T?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6386XS16D3-T is an active-low input with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low forces immediate reset assertion, which persists for the full 140ms timeout after MR is released. It accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and supports direct connection to momentary switches - eliminating need for external debounce components.
Is MAX6386XS16D3-T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6381–MAX6390 family?
Yes, MAX6386XS16D3-T shares identical 4-pin SC70 pinout with all MAX6384–MAX6390 variants in XS package format. This enables drop-in replacement across different reset thresholds (e.g., XS26, XS31) and timeout options (D1–D7), provided the target application accepts the corresponding electrical behavior - such as open-drain output and MR functionality.
