Product details
Overview
MAX6386XS29D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 2.93V reset threshold (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C), 20ms minimum reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input (MR) featuring internal 63kΩ pullup. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, enabling reliable power monitoring in battery-powered embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6386XS29D2-T datasheet, MAX6386XS29D2-T pinout, MAX6386XS29D2-T application, or MAX6386XS29D2-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.93V VTH, 20ms tRP, MR input compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and 4-pin SC70 package footprint for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6386XS29D2-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a fixed 2.93V threshold, with ±2.5% accuracy across −40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal monostable timer generates a precise 20ms minimum reset assertion period after VCC recovery.
This device integrates a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 1µs minimum pulse width support and 100ns glitch rejection, coupled with an open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup and capable of sinking 1.2mA at 2.5V while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V (nominal), ±2.5% tolerance over −40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| Reset Timeout | 20ms (minimum) - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power stabilization |
| 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 direct interface with 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains |
| MR Input Pullup | 63kΩ internal resistor - eliminates need for external biasing when MR is unused or driven by open-drain logic |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration with multiple reset sources and flexible voltage-level translation |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Immune to negative-going VCC glitches < 35µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6386XS29D2-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, optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary power supply input and monitored voltage source - 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) to host logic rail; sinks up to 1.2mA at 2.5V |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 63kΩ; drives reset low when asserted, with 1µs minimum pulse width support |
| 4 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.93V with ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration in production |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly down to VCC = 1.0V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions |
| Integrated MR debouncing | No external RC network required - internal 100ns glitch rejection and 1µs pulse width filter suppress switch bounce and EMI |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in portable medical monitors and wireless sensor nodes |
| Open-drain RESET architecture | Enables multi-source reset bus sharing - supports system-level reset coordination across multiple ICs without contention |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR29D2+T | Same 2.93V threshold and 20ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output - no external pullup required | Lacks MR input; not suitable for systems requiring manual reset capability | Select when board layout prohibits external pullup or MR functionality is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 1.8V threshold (not 2.93V); 20ms timeout; push-pull active-low; 1.8V–6.0V operation | Designed for lower-voltage domains; no MR input; higher 8μA ICC at 1.8V | Choose only if system uses 1.8V supply monitoring and MR is not needed |
Compared with MAX6386XS29D2-T, MAX6326XR29D2+T simplifies BOM by eliminating the pullup resistor but removes manual reset flexibility, while TPS3808G18DBVR targets different voltage rails and lacks MR - making MAX6386XS29D2-T uniquely suited for 2.9V–3.3V systems requiring both precision threshold and user-initiated reset.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6386XS29D2-T?
The MAX6386XS29D2-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external calibration. The MAX6386XS29D2-T datasheet specifies min/max limits of 2.85V and 3.00V at +25°C, tightening to 2.85V–3.00V across temperature.
Does the MAX6386XS29D2-T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6386XS29D2-T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input with internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low forces an immediate reset assertion, which remains active for the full 20ms timeout period after MR is released. The MAX6386XS29D2-T supports TTL/CMOS-compatible logic levels and rejects glitches shorter than 100ns, eliminating need for external debounce circuitry.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6386XS29D2-T use?
The MAX6386XS29D2-T is supplied in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. Its land pattern (90-0187) is optimized for reflow soldering on multilayer PCBs, with thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W. This compact footprint enables high-density placement in portable and automotive electronics where board space is constrained.
Can the MAX6386XS29D2-T operate reliably at low supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX6386XS29D2-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, with full functionality specified from 1.0V to 5.5V. At 1.8V, it draws only 3μA supply current, and its open-drain RESET output maintains VOL ≤ 0.3V while sinking 80µA - ensuring interoperability with 1.2V and 1.8V logic families even during brownout conditions.
How does the MAX6386XS29D2-T handle power supply transients?
The MAX6386XS29D2-T provides built-in immunity to short-duration negative-going VCC transients, rejecting glitches up to 35µs wide when the overdrive (VTH − VCC) is 100mV. This is achieved through internal comparator hysteresis and filtering. For enhanced protection, the MAX6386XS29D2-T datasheet recommends placing a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND as close as possible to the device pins.
