Product details
Overview
MAX6387XS29D2+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.93V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 20ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for monitoring a second voltage source. It consumes only 3μA at +1.8V and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V, used in portable battery-powered equipment requiring dual-rail power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6387XS29D2+T datasheet, MAX6387XS29D2+T pinout, MAX6387XS29D2+T application, or MAX6387XS29D2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SC70 package, dual-supply monitoring capability, ±2.5% threshold accuracy across automotive temperature range, and compatibility with systems needing guaranteed reset assertion during brownout and transient events.
Technical Context
The MAX6387XS29D2+T integrates two independent voltage comparators: one monitors VCC against a fixed 2.93V threshold, while the second compares an external voltage applied to RESET IN against an internal 1.27V reference. Reset asserts when either monitored voltage falls below its respective threshold.
It features a 20ms minimum reset timeout period after VCC or RESET IN recovers, active-low push-pull RESET output capable of sinking 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOL ≤ 0.4V), and operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply with guaranteed functionality down to VCC = 1V.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387LT29D2+T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN package - larger footprint, better thermal performance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Suitable for thermally demanding industrial applications where SC70 self-heating may affect long-term threshold drift | Select when board layout allows larger package and thermal margin is prioritized over size |
| MAX6389XS29D2+T | Identical pinout and thresholds, but open-drain RESET output - requires external pullup resistor and supports wired-OR configurations | Preferred in multi-supervisor systems or where level-shifting/reset sharing across voltage domains is required | Select when system architecture mandates open-drain reset bus or interoperability with legacy reset networks |
Compared with MAX6387XS29D2+T, the LT version trades compactness for thermal robustness in µDFN, while the MAX6389 variant replaces push-pull drive with open-drain flexibility-neither offers pin-to-pin replacement without schematic or layout revision.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX6387XS29D2+T?
The MAX6387XS29D2+T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.93V, with ±2.5% accuracy guaranteed over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This value is fixed and non-adjustable, enabling precise brownout detection without external components. The MAX6387XS29D2+T uses this threshold to assert reset whenever VCC falls below 2.93V, and holds reset for 20ms after VCC recovers above the threshold.
Does the MAX6387XS29D2+T support monitoring of a second voltage rail?
Yes, the MAX6387XS29D2+T includes a dedicated RESET IN input that connects to an internal comparator referenced to 1.27V. By applying a divided version of a secondary voltage (e.g., VCORE or VIO) to this pin, the device can independently monitor a second rail. Reset asserts if either VCC drops below 2.93V or the voltage at RESET IN falls below 1.27V. This dual-monitoring capability is integral to the MAX6387XS29D2+T design and requires no additional ICs.
What is the reset output configuration of the MAX6387XS29D2+T?
The MAX6387XS29D2+T features an active-low push-pull reset output, meaning it actively drives the RESET pin low during fault conditions and high during normal operation - no external pullup resistor is needed. It can sink up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V with VOL ≤ 0.4V, and remains functional down to VCC = 1V. This output type differentiates the MAX6387XS29D2+T from open-drain variants like MAX6389XS29D2+T and simplifies interface to most microcontroller reset inputs.
What package type is used for the MAX6387XS29D2+T?
The MAX6387XS29D2+T is supplied in a lead(Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. This compact surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts typical in portable and wearable electronics. Its thermal resistance (θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board) is optimized for low-power operation, and the pinout is fully documented in the MAX6387XS29D2+T datasheet Figure 9.
How does the MAX6387XS29D2+T handle power supply transients?
The MAX6387XS29D2+T provides inherent immunity to short-duration negative-going VCC transients (glitches) due to its internal comparator overdrive tolerance and propagation delay characteristics. Per the "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Comparator Overdrive" graph in the datasheet, it avoids false resets for transients whose amplitude and duration fall below the specified curve. Adding a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pin further enhances immunity - a design practice validated for the MAX6387XS29D2+T in typical operating circuits.
