Product details
Overview
MAX6386XS29D5+ 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), 280ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and debounced manual reset input (MR) featuring 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 MAX6386XS29D5+ datasheet, MAX6386XS29D5+ pinout, MAX6386XS29D5+ application, or MAX6386XS29D5+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.93V threshold accuracy, 280ms reset timeout, SC70-4 package footprint, MR input compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic, and guaranteed valid reset state down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6386XS29D5+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and an independent manual reset path with glitch rejection (100ns) and 1µs minimum pulse width support. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and asserts low when VCC falls below 2.93V or MR is pulled low.
Reset remains asserted for ≥280ms after VCC rises above threshold or MR is released. The device guarantees correct RESET logic state across full operating voltage (1.0V–5.5V) and temperature (-40°C to +125°C), with ±60ppm/°C reset threshold tempco and immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation down to ultra-low-voltage MCU cores and up to 5V legacy systems |
| Reset Timeout | 280ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping power supplies and firmware initialization |
| Supply Current | 3µA at 1.8V, 6µA at 3.6V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |
| MR Input Pullup | 63kΩ internal resistor - eliminates need for external pullup while ensuring clean TTL/CMOS-compatible logic levels |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and level translation with external pullup |

Pinout & Package
MAX6386XS29D5+ is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4+1, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with 0.65mm pitch. Pin 1 is RESET (open-drain active-low), Pin 2 is VCC, Pin 3 is MR (active-low manual reset), and Pin 4 is GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Drives low during reset assertion; requires external pullup resistor for logic-high state; compatible with mixed-voltage systems |
| 2 - VCC | Power supply input and monitored voltage rail | Supplies internal circuitry and serves as primary reset trigger source; accepts 1.0V–5.5V with guaranteed operation down to 1V |
| 3 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Forces reset when pulled low; debounced internally; internal 63kΩ pullup eliminates external component; supports pushbutton or logic-driven reset |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for VCC, MR, and RESET; must be low-impedance connection to ensure accurate threshold sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set 2.93V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor network; reduces BOM count and layout area vs. adjustable supervisors |
| 280ms minimum reset timeout | Ensures reliable processor initialization across wide range of power supply ramp rates and clock frequencies |
| Debounced MR input with internal pullup | Supports direct connection to momentary switch or logic signal without external RC network or Schmitt trigger |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6386XS29D5+ and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6386XS29D5+ has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Its reset threshold tempco is ±60ppm/°C, meaning drift is less than ±0.35mV/°C - ensuring consistent brownout detection across automotive and industrial environments without calibration.
Does MAX6386XS29D5+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, MAX6386XS29D5+ features an open-drain active-low RESET output, which requires an external pullup resistor to establish a defined logic-high state when deasserted. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements. The device itself does not include an internal pullup on RESET.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the MR pin on MAX6386XS29D5+?
The MR pin on MAX6386XS29D5+ is an active-low manual reset input with internal 63kΩ pullup to VCC. Driving MR low forces RESET assertion regardless of VCC level; reset remains active for the full 280ms timeout after MR is released. It accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and supports direct connection to pushbuttons or digital outputs without external components.
Can MAX6386XS29D5+ operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, MAX6386XS29D5+ is fully specified to operate and guarantee correct RESET logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. At 1.2V, all functions - including reset assertion/deassertion timing, MR input recognition, and open-drain output drive strength - remain within datasheet limits, making it suitable for ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers and energy-harvesting systems.
Is MAX6386XS29D5+ pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6381–MAX6390 family?
MAX6386XS29D5+ shares the same 4-pin SC70 package and pinout (RESET, VCC, MR, GND) with MAX6384, MAX6385, and MAX6390 in XS-prefix variants. However, it is not pin-compatible with 3-pin SC70 (e.g., MAX6381) or 6-pin μDFN versions. Always verify pin mapping against the specific ordering part number's datasheet diagram before PCB layout.
