Product details
Overview
MAX6386XS23D3+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 2.31V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input. It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered embedded systems where reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6386XS23D3+ datasheet, MAX6386XS23D3+ pinout, MAX6386XS23D3+ application, or MAX6386XS23D3+ equivalent, key selection factors include its 3μA supply current at 1.8V, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, open-drain output requiring external pullup, and 4-pin SC70 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6386XS23D3+ 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 rises above 2.31V.
It features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 63kΩ internal pullup, supporting TTL/CMOS logic levels and momentary switch interfaces without external RC networks. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup resistor and sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.31V nominal (suffix '23'), ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - ensures consistent brownout detection across industrial environments |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum (suffix 'D3') - guarantees sufficient μP initialization time before release |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus configuration with multiple supervisors |
| Manual Reset | Debounced MR input with 63kΩ internal pullup - eliminates need for external debounce circuitry |
| Temp Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6386XS23D3+ is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4+1), measuring 1.2mm × 1.6mm × 0.75mm, suitable for high-density portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - must be decoupled with 0.1μF capacitor near pin |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output - requires external pullup resistor (typically 10kΩ–100kΩ) to host VCC or separate rail |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; drive to GND for system reset initiation |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - must connect to low-impedance system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.31V with ±2.5% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C - eliminates need for external resistor dividers or calibration |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as smoke detectors and wearables |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly down to VCC = 1.0V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe undervoltage events |
| Integrated MR debounce | No external components required for pushbutton reset - simplifies BOM and reduces PCB area |
| Negative transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches < 35µs duration at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR23D3+ | Same 2.31V 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 open-drain buses | Select when manual reset is unnecessary and board layout favors simpler output drive |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.33V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.8μA ICC at 1.8V, push-pull active-low, no MR input | Lower current draw but no manual reset; different pinout (SOT-23-5 vs SC70-4) | Choose for ultra-low-power applications where MR is handled externally or omitted |
Compared with MAX6326XR23D3+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6386XS23D3+ uniquely combines open-drain output flexibility with integrated debounced MR in the smallest 4-pin SC70 footprint - critical for space-constrained, field-serviceable designs requiring both autonomous and operator-initiated reset.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6386XS23D3+ and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6386XS23D3+ has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.31V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This corresponds to a minimum threshold of 2.25V and maximum of 2.37V at +25°C, tightening to 2.25V–2.37V across temperature per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table.
Does MAX6386XS23D3+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin, and why?
Yes, MAX6386XS23D3+ requires an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin because it features an open-drain active-low output. Without a pullup, the RESET line remains floating when deasserted. A typical value is 10kΩ to 100kΩ connected to the host logic rail (e.g., 3.3V), ensuring proper logic-high level and compatible wired-OR bus operation with other open-drain reset sources.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the MR pin on MAX6386XS23D3+?
The MR pin on MAX6386XS23D3+ is an active-low manual reset input with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR to GND forces the RESET output low for the full 140ms timeout period, even if VCC remains above threshold. When released, MR returns high via the internal pullup, and reset remains asserted for the remainder of the timeout - enabling robust, debounced reset initiation without external components.
Can MAX6386XS23D3+ operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.8V, and down to what voltage?
Yes, MAX6386XS23D3+ is fully specified to operate down to VCC = 1.0V, with guaranteed correct reset assertion and deassertion behavior. Its reset output state remains valid and predictable even at 1.0V, unlike many competitors that lose functionality below 1.6V. This ensures fail-safe operation during deep brownout conditions common in battery-depleted or poorly regulated systems.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6386XS23D3+ use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6386XS23D3+ uses a 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4+1), measuring 1.2mm × 1.6mm × 0.75mm with 0.65mm pin pitch. The '+' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant construction, verified per Maxim Integrated's ordering information and package documentation.
