Product details
Overview
MAX6386XS17D3- from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 1.67V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input. It monitors VCC in battery-powered systems and embedded controllers where supply stability below 2.0V is critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6386XS17D3- datasheet, MAX6386XS17D3- pinout, MAX6386XS17D3- application, or MAX6386XS17D3- equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.67V threshold accuracy, 140ms VCC reset timeout, 3µA supply current at 1.8V, open-drain output requiring external pull-up, and SC70-4 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6386XS17D3- implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across -40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer guarantees a minimum 140ms reset assertion after VCC rises above 1.67V.
It features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 63kΩ internal pullup, asserting reset when pulled low and holding for 140ms after release. The open-drain RESET output remains valid down to VCC = 1.0V and requires an external pull-up resistor for proper logic-level translation.

Pinout & Package
MAX6386XS17D3- is housed in a 4-pin SC70 package (X4-1), measuring 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.5mm, suitable for high-density portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary power supply input; monitored for reset threshold violation and powers internal circuitry |
| 2 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC; drives reset when pulled to GND |
| 4 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pull-up resistor to host supply rail |
Key Features

Applications
| Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Node | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: A wireless temperature sensor powered by CR2032 coin cell operates intermittently, waking every 5 minutes to sample and transmit data. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6386XS17D3- continuously monitors VCC and asserts reset if voltage drops below 1.67V during RF transmission burst, preventing corrupted firmware execution. Use Value: Its 3µA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 3 years; 140ms timeout ensures full MCU reset before next wake cycle. | Use Scenario: An isolated digital input module in a factory automation system receives 24V DC field power converted to 3.3V and 1.8V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6386XS17D3- supervises the 1.8V core rail, asserting open-drain RESET to the FPGA upon undervoltage, with pull-up to 3.3V for level compatibility. Use Value: ±2.5% threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C prevents false resets in uncontrolled cabinet environments; SC70-4 footprint saves board space on dense I/O carrier. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Medical Portable Diagnostic Device |
Use Scenario: A BCM sub-module powered from vehicle battery (9V–16V) via LDO generating 1.8V for microcontroller core. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6386XS17D3- detects LDO dropout during cold-crank events, asserting RESET to halt MCU until stable 1.8V resumes. Use Value: Negative-going transient immunity allows tolerance of 100µs dips to 1.2V without spurious reset; 140ms timeout accommodates post-crank stabilization. | Use Scenario: A handheld ECG monitor uses a single Li-ion cell (2.8V–4.2V) with buck-boost converter supplying 1.8V to ultra-low-power ADC and BLE SoC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6386XS17D3- guards the 1.8V rail, triggering reset if cell voltage sags below 3.0V and converter cannot maintain regulation. Use Value: Valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V ensures fail-safe shutdown before ADC data corruption occurs; SC70-4 enables compact front-end PCB stacking. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6386LT17D3+ | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN-6 (L611-1) package; 1.5mm × 1.0mm footprint | Requires different PCB land pattern; better thermal performance in high-reliability industrial use | Select LT version when higher power dissipation margin or automated optical inspection compatibility is required |
| TPS3808G16DBVR | 1.6V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms timeout, 1.6µA IQ at 1.8V; SOT-23-5 package | Higher accuracy and lower current, but no manual reset input; different pinout and no MR function | Choose TPS3808G16DBVR only if MR is unused and tighter threshold tolerance justifies redesign |
Compared with MAX6386LT17D3+, the MAX6386XS17D3- offers identical supervision functionality in a 30% smaller footprint; versus TPS3808G16DBVR, it provides essential manual reset capability at the cost of slightly higher quiescent current and reduced threshold accuracy-making it optimal for space-constrained, user-serviceable devices.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6386XS17D3- and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6386XS17D3- has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 1.67V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating range of -40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 60ppm/°C, meaning the threshold drifts less than 15mV across the entire temperature span-critical for consistent brownout protection in automotive and industrial environments where the MAX6386XS17D3- is deployed.
Does the MAX6386XS17D3- require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin, and why?
Yes, the MAX6386XS17D3- features an open-drain active-low RESET output, which requires an external pull-up resistor to the host supply rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). This configuration enables wired-OR connectivity with other reset sources and supports level translation. Without the pull-up, the RESET signal remains floating and non-functional-so correct implementation of this external component is mandatory for the MAX6386XS17D3- to operate as intended.
What is the purpose and behavior of the MR pin on the MAX6386XS17D3-?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the MAX6386XS17D3- is an active-low input with internal 63kΩ pull-up to VCC. Driving MR low forces an immediate reset assertion, which persists for the full 140ms timeout period after MR is released. This debounced input eliminates external RC networks, enabling direct connection to pushbuttons or logic signals-making the MAX6386XS17D3- ideal for field-serviceable equipment requiring user-initiated recovery.
Can the MAX6386XS17D3- operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.8V, and down to what voltage?
Yes, the MAX6386XS17D3- is fully specified to operate and assert valid reset logic down to VCC = 1.0V. Its internal circuitry remains functional and the RESET output maintains correct logic state (low when asserted) even at this undervoltage condition. This capability ensures deterministic failure response in deep brownout scenarios-such as battery exhaustion or LDO dropout-where many competing supervisors cease operation above 1.5V, making the MAX6386XS17D3- uniquely robust for ultra-low-voltage systems.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6386XS17D3- use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The MAX6386XS17D3- is supplied in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (X4-1), with dimensions of 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.5mm and a standard pitch of 0.65mm. It complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is marked with a "+" suffix per Maxim's ordering convention to denote lead-free construction-ensuring environmental compliance and solderability in modern reflow processes used for the MAX6386XS17D3-.
