Product details
Overview
The MAX6386XS26D3 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, open-drain active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.63V reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input. It monitors VCC in systems from +1.8V to +5.0V, consumes only 3µA at +1.8V, guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V, and is used in portable battery-powered equipment for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6386XS26D3 datasheet, MAX6386XS26D3 pinout, MAX6386XS26D3 application, or MAX6386XS26D3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain active-low reset output, 2.63V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 140ms reset timeout, integrated MR pullup resistor (63kΩ), and SC70-4 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6386XS26D3 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across temperature, paired with a monolithic RC timer for deterministic 140ms reset assertion after VCC recovery. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and remains asserted during VCC brownouts or manual MR activation.
It features a dedicated active-low manual reset input (MR) with internal 63kΩ pullup to VCC, enabling pushbutton-initiated resets without external components. The device operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and maintains guaranteed logic state integrity down to VCC = 1V - critical for low-voltage microcontroller startup sequencing.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6386XS26D3 is housed in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (X4-1), measuring 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.55mm, suitable for ultra-compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - powers internal circuitry and serves as reference for reset threshold detection |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output - sinks current when asserted; requires external pullup for logic-high state |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - forces reset when pulled low; internally pulled up to VCC via 63kΩ resistor |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - must be connected directly to system ground plane for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.63V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration or trimming resistors |
| Debounced manual reset input | Integrated 63kΩ pullup and glitch rejection (100ns) - enables direct connection to mechanical switches without external RC filtering |
| Low-voltage operation guarantee | Valid RESET output asserted down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout events |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤35µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3µA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as smart meters and wearables |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR26D3 | Same 2.63V threshold and 140ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output and no MR input | Lacks manual reset capability; requires external pullup for open-drain compatibility | Select when board layout already uses push-pull reset and no physical reset button is needed |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V threshold (not 2.63V), 200ms timeout, 1.8V–6.0V operation, no MR input | Higher threshold limits use in 2.5V/2.8V systems; longer timeout may delay boot sequence | Choose for TI-based designs where 2.93V margin better suits 3.3V rail tolerance stack-up |
Compared with MAX6326XR26D3 and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6386XS26D3 uniquely combines precise 2.63V detection, 140ms timing, open-drain output, and integrated MR - making it optimal for compact, button-enabled, low-voltage embedded systems where reset bus sharing and minimal BOM count are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6386XS26D3?
The MAX6386XS26D3 has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.63V, specified with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet (suffix "26"), and applies directly to the MAX6386XS26D3 without deviation or binning.
Does the MAX6386XS26D3 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX6386XS26D3 features an open-drain active-low RESET output, which requires an external pullup resistor to VCC or another logic rail to establish a defined high state when deasserted. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the MR pin on the MAX6386XS26D3?
The MR pin on the MAX6386XS26D3 is an active-low manual reset input with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low forces immediate reset assertion; release triggers the 140ms timeout. The pin accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and tolerates voltages up to VCC + 0.3V.
Can the MAX6386XS26D3 operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX6386XS26D3 guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, per the Electrical Characteristics table. At VCC = 1.2V, it continues to monitor the 2.63V threshold (relative to its internal reference), assert RESET when VCC drops below that point, and maintain valid timing - essential for ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6386XS26D3 use?
The MAX6386XS26D3 is packaged in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 (X4-1) package, with footprint dimensions of 1.0mm × 1.0mm and height of 0.55mm. This compact outline is documented in Maxim's package drawing 21-0098 and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
