Product details
Overview
The MAX6387XS16D3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push-pull reset output, 1.58V factory-set VCC reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for monitoring a second voltage rail. It operates from +1.0V to +5.5V, consumes only 3µA at +1.8V, and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V - used in battery-powered embedded controllers requiring reliable power-on reset and secondary supply monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6387XS16D3 datasheet, MAX6387XS16D3 pinout, MAX6387XS16D3 application, or MAX6387XS16D3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-monitoring capability (VCC + RESET IN), ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, SC70-4 package footprint, 140ms reset timeout, and compatibility with low-voltage I/O domains in portable instrumentation and industrial edge nodes.
Technical Context
The MAX6387XS16D3 integrates two independent reset comparators: one monitors VCC against a factory-trimmed 1.58V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), while the second compares an external voltage applied to the RESET IN pin against a precise +1.27V internal reference. Its reset assertion logic triggers when either monitored voltage falls below its respective threshold, and the active-low push-pull output remains asserted for a guaranteed minimum 140ms after recovery.
This device uses BiCMOS process technology (647 transistors) and features negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs for 100mV overdrive, MR input glitch rejection of 100ns, and guaranteed reset output validity down to VCC = 1V - enabling robust operation during brownout and low-power wake-up sequences without external pull-ups.
Key Specifications

| 3 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to +1.27V internal reference - enables dual-rail supervision (e.g., core + I/O supply). |
| 4 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset comparators | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC (1.58V threshold) and external rail via RESET IN (1.27V reference) - eliminates need for second supervisor IC in dual-supply systems. |
| Factory-trimmed precision threshold | ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range - removes calibration overhead and improves BOM consistency across production lots. |
| Low quiescent current | 3µA at +1.8V - extends battery life in always-on wearable and sensor nodes without sacrificing supervision reliability. |

Use Value: Dual-rail detection avoids silent failures where only one supply fails; ±2.5% threshold accuracy ensures consistent trip points across temperature and unit variance. |
| Automotive Body Control Units | Portable Test Equipment |
Use Scenario: BCM sub-module with 12V-to-3.3V DC/DC and 12V-to-5V DC/DC, exposed to load-dump and cold-crank transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses VCC pin for 3.3V logic rail supervision and RESET IN for 5V communication rail; leverages 35µs transient immunity to ignore short dips. Use Value: Eliminates false resets during engine cranking; 140ms timeout aligns with CAN controller wake-up timing requirements. | Use Scenario: Handheld oscilloscope with dual-core SoC (1.1V core, 1.8V memory), powered by Li-ion pack with variable discharge curve. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 1.1V core rail (VCC) and 1.8V I/O rail (via RESET IN resistor divider); asserts reset before brownout-induced data loss. Use Value: Factory-set 1.58V threshold matches typical 1.8V rail dropout margin; push-pull output drives reset net without pull-up loading. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387LT16D3 | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN-6 (L611-1) package; larger footprint, better thermal performance. | Suitable for high-reliability industrial designs requiring enhanced thermal dissipation or board-level reworkability. | Select when PCB layout allows 1.5mm × 1.0mm footprint and thermal derating above 167.7mW is needed. |
| TLV803EB29DBVR | Single-supply reset IC (2.93V threshold), no RESET IN pin, 140ms timeout, SOT-23-3 package; 0.5µA ICC at 1.8V. | Limited to single-rail monitoring; lower current draw but lacks dual-voltage capability and temperature accuracy (±3.5%). | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where auxiliary monitoring is unnecessary and ultra-low ICC is critical. |
Compared with MAX6387LT16D3, the MAX6387XS16D3 saves 0.5mm² board area and suits ultra-compact designs; versus TLV803EB29DBVR, it adds essential dual-rail supervision and tighter threshold tolerance - making it irreplaceable in systems where both core and I/O supplies must be validated before boot.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6387XS16D3?
The MAX6387XS16D3 has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 1.58V (minimum), with nominal 1.61V and maximum 1.64V over –40°C to +125°C, achieving ±2.5% accuracy. This value is laser-trimmed during production and documented in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet; it applies exclusively to the VCC pin, not the RESET IN input.
Does the MAX6387XS16D3 support monitoring of a second voltage rail?
Yes, the MAX6387XS16D3 supports dual-voltage supervision via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage to a precise +1.27V internal reference. When either VCC falls below 1.58V or the voltage at RESET IN drops below 1.27V, the active-low RESET output asserts - enabling coordinated reset of systems with separate core and I/O supplies.
What is the function of Pin 3 (RESET IN) on the MAX6387XS16D3?
Pin 3 of the MAX6387XS16D3 is the RESET IN terminal, a high-impedance input connected to a comparator referenced to +1.27V. It allows user-defined secondary reset detection by connecting an external resistor divider; reset asserts if the divided voltage falls below 1.27V. Input leakage is ±50nA max, permitting use of high-value resistors without accuracy loss.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6387XS16D3 use?
The MAX6387XS16D3 is packaged in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 (X4-1) case measuring 1.0mm × 1.3mm × 0.6mm. Its pinout is VCC (Pin 1), RESET (Pin 2), RESET IN (Pin 3), and GND (Pin 4). This compact outline is defined in Maxim's package drawing 21-0098 and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
How does the reset timeout behavior work on the MAX6387XS16D3?
The MAX6387XS16D3 provides a guaranteed minimum reset timeout of 140ms after VCC or RESET IN recovers above their respective thresholds. This period begins once the monitored voltage exceeds the threshold and is generated by an internal RC timer - ensuring sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization, regardless of supply ramp rate or temperature variation.
