Product details
Overview
MAX6387XS16D3+T 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 VCC reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for monitoring a second voltage rail. It operates from +1.0V to +5.5V supply, consumes only 3μA at +1.8V, and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V - used in portable battery-powered equipment requiring reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6387XS16D3+T datasheet, MAX6387XS16D3+T pinout, MAX6387XS16D3+T application, or MAX6387XS16D3+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-pin SC70 package, ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and compatibility with systems needing guaranteed reset assertion during low-VCC conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX6387XS16D3+T integrates two independent voltage comparators: one monitors VCC against a fixed 1.58V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), while the other compares an external voltage applied to RESET IN against an internal +1.27V reference. Reset asserts if either comparator trips, and remains asserted for 140ms after recovery.
Its push-pull active-low RESET output drives directly without external pullup, supports sink currents up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V, and maintains logic validity down to VCC = 1V - enabling robust reset signaling even during deep brownout events in low-power embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 1.58V (factory-set, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C) - ensures precise power-fail detection for 1.8V core rails. |
| RESET Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for μP initialization after power stabilization. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports operation during severe brownout and compatibility with wide-input systems. |
| RESET IN Threshold | +1.27V (±2.5% over temperature) - allows user-adjustable secondary voltage monitoring via resistor divider. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and simplifies PCB layout. |
| Package | 4-pin SC70 (X4+1 outline) - ultra-compact footprint ideal for space-constrained portable designs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6387XS16D3+T is housed in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), with pins arranged as follows:
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail; powers internal circuitry and sets main reset threshold. |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts low when VCC or RESET IN falls below threshold and holds for 140ms post-recovery. |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing. |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; high-impedance node compared to +1.27V reference - enables dual-rail supervision without extra ICs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC and external rail via RESET IN - reduces BOM count in multi-supply systems like SoC-based IoT nodes. |
| Low-power operation | 3μA supply current at +1.8V - extends battery runtime in wearables and remote sensors where duty-cycled wake-up is critical. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET output remains logically valid down to VCC = 1V - prevents spurious release during deep undervoltage transients. |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤ 35µs at 100mV overdrive - improves reliability in electrically noisy automotive or industrial environments. |
| Factory-trimmed precision | ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration in production test. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387LT16D3+T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (L611+1) instead of 4-pin SC70; includes NC pins not present in SC70 variant. | Requires different PCB footprint and land pattern; better thermal performance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) but larger area. | Select when thermal dissipation or board-level routing flexibility outweighs size constraints. |
| TPS3808G16DBVR | TI part with same 1.6V threshold and 140ms timeout, but open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup; higher 8μA supply current at 1.8V. | Lacks RESET IN input - cannot monitor dual rails without additional components; less suitable for compact dual-supply designs. | Choose only if open-drain interface is required or if TI supply chain preference dominates design requirements. |
Compared with MAX6387LT16D3+T, the MAX6387XS16D3+T saves 40% board area in SC70 format but trades off thermal margin; versus TPS3808G16DBVR, it delivers true dual-rail supervision and 60% lower quiescent current - making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-sensitive dual-supply systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6387XS16D3+T?
The MAX6387XS16D3+T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 1.58V, with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet (suffix "16"), and applies specifically to the VCC comparator - not the RESET IN input, which references +1.27V.
Does MAX6387XS16D3+T support monitoring two independent voltage rails?
Yes, MAX6387XS16D3+T supports dual-rail monitoring: VCC is monitored against its 1.58V threshold, while the RESET IN pin accepts an external voltage and compares it to an internal +1.27V reference. Reset asserts if either rail falls below its respective threshold - enabling supervision of core and I/O supplies in a single 4-pin device.
What is the function of the RESET IN pin on MAX6387XS16D3+T?
The RESET IN pin on MAX6387XS16D3+T is a high-impedance input to a dedicated comparator referenced to +1.27V. When the voltage at RESET IN drops below this threshold, the device asserts its active-low RESET output. It is typically connected to a resistor divider to set a custom reset point for a secondary supply rail - a feature exclusive to MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 variants.
Is MAX6387XS16D3+T pin-compatible with MAX809 or MAX6326?
No, MAX6387XS16D3+T is not pin-compatible with MAX809 or MAX6326. While the datasheet states pin compatibility *within the MAX6381–MAX6390 family* for same-package variants (e.g., MAX6387XSxxDx+T vs. MAX6384XSxxDx+T in 4-pin SC70), MAX809 uses 3-pin SOT23 and MAX6326 uses 5-pin SC70 - differing in pin count, function mapping, and package outline. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign.
What is the minimum VCC level at which MAX6387XS16D3+T guarantees correct RESET output logic state?
MAX6387XS16D3+T guarantees that its RESET output remains in the correct asserted or deasserted logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. This is explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and ensures reliable reset signaling during deep brownout conditions - a key differentiator from many competing supervisors that lose output validity below 1.5V.
