Product details
Overview
MAX6387XS17D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push-pull reset output, 1.67V factory-set VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for monitoring a second voltage source. It consumes only 3μA at +1.8V and operates down to VCC = 1.0V, used in battery-powered instrumentation and dual-rail embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6387XS17D3-T datasheet, MAX6387XS17D3-T pinout, MAX6387XS17D3-T application, or MAX6387XS17D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SC70 package, dual-monitoring capability via RESET IN, guaranteed reset assertion down to 1V supply, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and compatibility with low-power μP-based designs requiring precise timing and low quiescent current.
Technical Context
The MAX6387XS17D3-T integrates two independent voltage comparators: one monitors VCC against a fixed 1.67V threshold, while the other compares an external voltage applied to RESET IN against an internal 1.27V reference. A digital timeout counter ensures reset remains asserted for ≥140ms after VCC or RESET IN recovers above their respective thresholds.
Its push-pull active-low RESET output drives directly without external pullup, supports sink currents up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V, and guarantees valid logic state for VCC ≥ 1.0V. The device uses BiCMOS process technology and is rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 1.67V (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C) - sets precise brownout detection point for primary supply |
| RESET Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - ensures sufficient reset hold time for slow-ramping μP clock domains |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in portable monitoring devices |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| RESET IN Threshold | 1.27V (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C) - enables user-configurable secondary supply monitoring via resistor divider |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor, reduces BOM count |
| Package | 4-pin SC70 - compact footprint (1.3mm × 1.6mm) for space-constrained PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6387XS17D3-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.3mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm, with thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor source; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts low during VCC or RESET IN undervoltage and holds for ≥140ms post-recovery |
| 3 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to internal 1.27V reference to enable dual-supply supervision |
| 4 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC and external rail via RESET IN enables robust dual-rail system reset sequencing |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures deterministic μP initialization even during severe brownout events before full power-up |

Use Value: Enables single-chip dual-supply fault detection without discrete comparators, reducing component count and layout area. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Low-Power IoT Edge Nodes |
Use Scenario: BCM sub-modules powered from vehicle battery (9–16V) with internal LDO generating 1.67V reference rail for MCU core. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses VCC pin to monitor LDO output and RESET IN to verify upstream battery voltage integrity via resistive divider. Use Value: Meets AEC-Q100 requirements for supply monitoring redundancy and provides fail-safe reset assertion during cold-crank transients. | Use Scenario: Wireless sensor nodes powered by coin-cell batteries, operating intermittently to conserve energy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 1.8V MCU supply and 3.0V RF transceiver supply; RESET IN configured for 3.0V rail monitoring. Use Value: Ultra-low 3μA quiescent current extends operational lifetime while ensuring clean wake-up from deep sleep mode. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387LT17D3-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN package; higher thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W) | Better suited for high-density layouts where SC70 solderability is challenging; requires different land pattern | Select when board assembly process favors μDFN or when thermal dissipation margin is acceptable |
| TPS3808G16DBVR | 1.6V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms timeout, 1.4μA ICC, open-drain output; no RESET IN input | Lacks auxiliary voltage monitoring; requires external pullup; tighter threshold tolerance but single-rail only | Choose when only VCC supervision is needed and lowest possible quiescent current is critical |
Compared with MAX6387XS17D3-T, the LT17D3-T offers identical functionality in a larger μDFN package for improved thermal performance, while the TPS3808G16DBVR trades dual-monitoring capability for lower power and tighter threshold accuracy-making it suitable only for single-rail applications where RESET IN is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6387XS17D3-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6387XS17D3-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 1.67V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved through laser-trimming during production and confirmed by design validation per JEDEC JESD22-A108. The MAX6387XS17D3-T maintains this specification without external calibration components.
Does MAX6387XS17D3-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6387XS17D3-T supports dual-voltage monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage to an internal 1.27V reference. To supervise a second rail, connect a resistor divider between that rail and GND, feeding the midpoint to RESET IN. The MAX6387XS17D3-T asserts reset if either VCC falls below 1.67V or the voltage at RESET IN drops below 1.27V.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6387XS17D3-T, and what load can it drive?
The RESET output of MAX6387XS17D3-T is an active-low push-pull driver capable of sinking up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V, 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.5V, or 80µA at VCC ≥ 1.0V, with VOL ≤ 0.4V. It requires no external pullup resistor and guarantees correct logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, making the MAX6387XS17D3-T suitable for direct connection to μP reset inputs in low-voltage systems.
Can MAX6387XS17D3-T operate from a 1.0V supply, and what happens to the reset output at that level?
Yes, MAX6387XS17D3-T is fully specified to operate with VCC as low as 1.0V. Its RESET output remains functional and guaranteed to be in the correct asserted (low) or deasserted (high) logic state throughout this range. At VCC = 1.0V, the MAX6387XS17D3-T still sinks 80µA with VOL ≤ 0.3V, ensuring reliable reset signaling even during deep brownout conditions before full power-up.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6387XS17D3-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6387XS17D3-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), measuring 1.3mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm, with lead-free/RoHS-compliant termination indicated by the "+T" suffix. The package features gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow soldering processes and has a thermal resistance θJA of 322.6°C/W on a multilayer PCB, as verified per JEDEC JESD51-7.
