Product details
Overview
MAX6386XS29D5 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, open-drain active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.93V reset threshold and 280ms minimum reset timeout. It monitors VCC supply voltage in embedded systems, asserts reset during brownout or power-up, and features debounced manual reset input (MR) with internal 63kΩ pullup. Designed for space-constrained industrial controllers and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6386XS29D5 datasheet, MAX6386XS29D5 pinout, MAX6386XS29D5 application, or MAX6386XS29D5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.93V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, guaranteed valid reset output down to VCC = 1V, 3µA supply current at 1.8V, SC70-4 package footprint, and MR-driven reset initiation without external debounce.
Technical Context
The MAX6386XS29D5 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across full temperature range and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a fixed 280ms minimum reset timeout after VCC rises above 2.93V or after MR release.
It uses an open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup, supports manual reset via MR (active-low, internally pulled up to VCC), and guarantees correct logic state for VCC ≥ 1.0V - enabling reliable operation during deep brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% (min/max 2.85V/3.00V); ensures deterministic reset assertion during 2.9V–3.0V supply rails. |
| Reset Timeout | 280ms minimum; holds µP in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling post-brownout. |
| Supply Current | 3µA at +1.8V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports valid reset signaling even during severe undervoltage (down to 1V). |
| MR Pullup Resistor | 63kΩ; allows direct connection of momentary switch to GND without external components. |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain active-low; enables wired-OR configuration and level-shifting with external pullup. |
| Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6386XS29D5 is housed in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (X4-1), measuring 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.55mm, suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input; powers internal circuitry and serves as monitored voltage source. |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pullup resistor to define high state. |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC; initiates reset when driven low. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and I/O. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed threshold | 2.93V with ±2.5% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C eliminates external resistor calibration. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET output remains logically valid down to VCC = 1.0V - critical for fail-safe brownout recovery. |
| Debounced MR input | Internal 63kΩ pullup and 100ns glitch rejection enable direct switch connection without RC network. |
| Ultra-low ICC | 3µA at 1.8V reduces quiescent load on coin-cell or energy-harvesting supplies. |
| Negative transient immunity | Withstands VCC glitches ≤280µs at 100mV overdrive - suppresses false resets in noisy power domains. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Medical Wearable Sensor Node |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR29D5 | Same 2.93V threshold and 280ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output; no MR input. | Lacks manual reset capability; requires external MR circuit if user-initiated reset needed. | Select when board layout already includes pullup and MR functionality is unnecessary. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V threshold, 200ms timeout (not 280ms); 1.8V–6.5V VCC range; no internal MR pullup. | Requires external 100kΩ MR pullup; shorter timeout may not meet FPGA configuration timing. | Choose only if 200ms timeout satisfies system boot sequence and external MR biasing is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX6326XR29D5 and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6386XS29D5 uniquely combines factory-set 2.93V/280ms timing, integrated MR pullup, and open-drain output - simplifying design for battery-powered or noise-prone systems requiring flexible reset control.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6386XS29D5?
The MAX6386XS29D5 has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed min/max values of 2.85V and 3.00V across –40°C to +125°C per the datasheet's Reset Thresholds table. This 2.93V point corresponds to suffix "29" in the part number and is trimmed at wafer test for ±2.5% accuracy over temperature.
Does the MAX6386XS29D5 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX6386XS29D5 features an open-drain active-low RESET output, so an external pullup resistor is mandatory to establish a defined high logic level. Typical values range from 4.7kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements. The MAX6386XS29D5 itself does not provide internal pullup on RESET.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6386XS29D5?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the MAX6386XS29D5 is an active-low input that forces a reset when pulled below 0.3×VCC. It includes an internal 63kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, allowing direct connection of a momentary switch to GND without external components. Reset remains asserted for the full 280ms timeout after MR is released.
Can the MAX6386XS29D5 operate reliably below 1.8V supply voltage?
Yes - the MAX6386XS29D5 is fully specified down to VCC = 1.0V. Its reset output remains logically valid (correct high/low state) at VCC ≥ 1.0V, and supply current drops to ~2.5µA at 1.5V. However, the 2.93V threshold means reset will assert continuously below that level, making it suitable for brownout detection but not for sub-2.9V supply supervision.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6386XS29D5 use?
The MAX6386XS29D5 uses a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4-1), with outline dimensions of 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.55mm and a 0.65mm pin pitch. This compact footprint supports high-density routing in portable and space-constrained designs, and is compatible with standard SC70 reflow profiles.
