Product details
Overview
MAX6386XS29D3-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), 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 MAX6386XS29D3-T datasheet, MAX6386XS29D3-T pinout, MAX6386XS29D3-T application, or MAX6386XS29D3-T equivalent, key selection factors include its 2.93V threshold accuracy, 140ms reset hold time, MR debounce capability, guaranteed valid reset down to VCC = 1V, and compatibility with 4-pin SC70 layout constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX6386XS29D3-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold tolerance across temperature, paired with a digital timeout counter that guarantees minimum 140ms assertion after VCC recovery. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and remains valid down to VCC = 1V.
It integrates a debounced manual reset input (MR) with internal 63kΩ pullup resistor, supporting TTL/CMOS logic drive and eliminating need for external RC filtering. The device operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, enabling use in ultra-low-power portable applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - guarantees sufficient μP initialization time after power stabilization |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports wide input rail including Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V systems |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and level translation with external pullup |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with internal 63kΩ pullup - simplifies board design by eliminating external resistor for pushbutton interface |
| Reset Valid Down To | VCC = 1V - maintains correct logic state during deep brownout, preventing spurious release |
Pinout & Package
MAX6386XS29D3-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 power supply input and monitored voltage source - 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 supply rail |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC; drive low via momentary switch to GND for system reset |
| 4 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must connect to low-impedance system ground plane for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.93V with ±2.5% accuracy over full industrial temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration |
| Debounced manual reset input | MR pin includes internal 63kΩ pullup and inherent noise immunity - removes requirement for external RC filter or Schmitt trigger |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET output remains logically valid down to VCC = 1V - prevents premature deassertion during slow power ramp-down |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤100µs duration when overdrive < 200mV - improves robustness in electrically noisy environments |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as IoT sensors and wearables |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Battery-Powered Data Loggers |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR29D3+T | Same 2.93V threshold and 140ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output and no MR input | Lacks manual reset capability; requires external pullup not needed for push-pull | Select when board layout prohibits open-drain wiring or MR functionality is unnecessary |
| TPS3123E18DBVR | 2.93V threshold, 200ms timeout, push-pull active-low, no MR, 1.8V–5.5V operation | Higher timeout and no manual reset; tighter 1.5% threshold accuracy but narrower temp range (-40°C to +85°C) | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where extended temperature range is not required |
Compared with MAX6386XS29D3-T, MAX6326XR29D3+T offers simpler output drive but sacrifices field-serviceability, while TPS3123E18DBVR trades MR functionality and industrial temperature support for higher threshold precision and lower unit cost in commercial-grade designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6386XS29D3-T?
The MAX6386XS29D3-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external adjustment. The "29" suffix in MAX6386XS29D3-T directly corresponds to the 2.93V threshold per Maxim's ordering guide.
Does the MAX6386XS29D3-T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6386XS29D3-T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input pin with an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low forces an immediate reset assertion, which remains active for the full 140ms timeout period after MR is released. This feature enables hardware-initiated system recovery without software intervention.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6386XS29D3-T use?
The MAX6386XS29D3-T is supplied in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. It is RoHS-compliant ("+T" suffix) and features gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow soldering processes. Land pattern 90-0187 is recommended for PCB layout.
Can the MAX6386XS29D3-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX6386XS29D3-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout conditions. Its 3μA supply current at 1.8V and operation down to 1.0V make it suitable for applications with weak or fading battery sources where other supervisors may fail to assert reset correctly.
Is the MAX6386XS29D3-T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs like the MAX809?
Yes, the MAX6386XS29D3-T is explicitly listed as pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810/MAX803 and other legacy Maxim supervisors in the datasheet Features section. Its 4-pin SC70 footprint matches these predecessors, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB modification - provided the open-drain output and MR functionality align with system requirements.
