Product details
Overview
MAX6386XS26D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 2.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input (MR) with internal 63kΩ pullup. It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6386XS26D3-T datasheet, MAX6386XS26D3-T pinout, MAX6386XS26D3-T application, or MAX6386XS26D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.63V threshold accuracy, 140ms reset hold time, 3μA supply current at 1.8V, SC70-4 package footprint, and MR input compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic levels.
Technical Context
The MAX6386XS26D3-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold tolerance across –40°C to +125°C and guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V. Its internal timer enforces a minimum 140ms reset timeout after VCC rises above 2.63V.
It features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 1µs minimum pulse width support and 100ns glitch rejection; MR asserts reset actively low and holds reset for the full 140ms timeout after release. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V with VOL ≤ 0.4V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V nominal, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable trip point across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for μP initialization and memory stabilization |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET - supports wired-OR configuration and level translation with external pullup |
| Manual Reset | MR input with 63kΩ internal pullup - eliminates need for external biasing; accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees reset validity during deep brownout down to 1V, critical for low-voltage SoC interfaces |
| Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6386XS26D3-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 portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail - powers device and serves as reset trigger source |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output - requires external pullup; sinks 3.2mA max at VCC ≥ 4.5V |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; drives reset when pulled to GND |
| 4 | GND | 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% accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates external resistor divider calibration |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes without sacrificing reset reliability |
| Debounced manual reset | 100ns glitch rejection and 1µs minimum MR pulse width - prevents spurious resets from switch bounce or EMI |
| Valid reset down to 1.0V VCC | Guaranteed correct logic state of RESET output even during severe brownout - ensures deterministic μP behavior |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects short VCC glitches per MAX6381/90 toc07 curve - reduces false triggers in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|

Use Value: 140ms timeout exceeds typical EEPROM write cycle; 63kΩ MR pullup eliminates BOM cost of discrete resistor. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR26D3+T | Same 2.63V threshold and 140ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output; no MR input | Lacks manual reset capability; requires external pullup not needed for push-pull | Select when board layout prohibits external pullup or MR function is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V threshold (not 2.63V); 200ms timeout; 1.8–6.0V VCC range; includes watchdog timer | Higher threshold unsuitable for 2.8V systems; watchdog adds complexity if unused | Select only if 2.93V threshold aligns with system VDD and watchdog functionality is required |
Compared with MAX6326XR26D3+T, MAX6386XS26D3-T provides essential MR functionality and open-drain flexibility at the cost of external pullup; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it offers precise 2.63V trip point and lower quiescent current but lacks watchdog capability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6386XS26D3-T?
The MAX6386XS26D3-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% 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 specifically to the MAX6386XS26D3-T variant-not the broader MAX6386 family.
Does the MAX6386XS26D3-T support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6386XS26D3-T includes a debounced manual reset input (MR) on Pin 3. It features an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, so MR can be left unconnected or tied to GND via a momentary switch. When pulled low, MR forces reset assertion and maintains it for the full 140ms timeout after release-no external debounce circuitry is required.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6386XS26D3-T use?
The MAX6386XS26D3-T is supplied in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. Its land pattern is documented as 90-0187, and it is RoHS-compliant (denoted by the "+" suffix). This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in portable and automotive applications.
Can the MAX6386XS26D3-T operate reliably below 1.8V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6386XS26D3-T operates across 1.0V to 5.5V. Its reset output remains guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1.0V, and supply current drops to just 3μA at 1.8V. However, at VCC < 1.8V, the open-drain RESET output's sink capability degrades (e.g., VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 80μA when VCC ≥ 1.0V), which must be accounted for in pullup resistor selection.
Is the MAX6386XS26D3-T pin-compatible with legacy Maxim reset ICs like MAX809?
Yes, the MAX6386XS26D3-T is explicitly listed as pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810/MAX803 and other members of the MAX6326–MAX6348 series. This compatibility applies to both SC70-4 and μDFN-6 variants within the family, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB modification-provided the reset threshold and timeout requirements match.
