Product details
Overview
The MAX6387XS31D3 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push-pull reset output, factory-set 3.08V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring in battery-powered embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6387XS31D3 datasheet, MAX6387XS31D3 pinout, MAX6387XS31D3 application, or MAX6387XS31D3 equivalent, this device supports precise power-supply supervision in space-constrained, ultra-low-power designs requiring guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V and immunity to negative-going VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6387XS31D3 integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 3.08V threshold while simultaneously comparing an external voltage at RESET IN to a 1.27V internal reference. Its internal timer guarantees a minimum 140ms reset pulse after VCC recovery or RESET IN recovery.
It features a push-pull active-low RESET output capable of sinking 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.5V with VOL ≤ 0.3V, and includes no internal MR input-distinguishing it from MAX6384–MAX6386/MAX6390-while supporting auxiliary voltage supervision via high-impedance RESET IN (leakage ±50nA) with 4.5µs propagation delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (nominal), ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization before release |
| Supply Current | 3µA at VCC = 1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor; drives directly into µP reset pin |
| RESET IN Threshold | 1.27V (internal reference) - allows user-defined secondary reset point via resistor divider on RESET IN pin |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid reset state down to 1V, critical for deep brownout recovery |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 35µs (VCC falling), 4.5µs (RESET IN falling) - enables fast response to supply glitches |
Pinout & Package
MAX6387XS31D3 is housed in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4-1), measuring 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.55mm, suitable for high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input; powers internal circuitry and serves as primary reset voltage monitor |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output; asserts low during reset condition and releases high after timeout |
| 3 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to 1.27V internal reference to trigger reset if voltage falls below threshold |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC and external rail via RESET IN enables robust power sequencing in dual-supply SoC systems |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3µA at 1.8V allows integration into always-on sensor nodes without compromising battery life |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, eliminating risk of undefined µP state |
| Negative transient immunity | Withstands VCC glitches up to 35µs duration (at 100mV overdrive), reducing false resets in noisy environments |
| Precision reset threshold | ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range eliminates need for external calibration in industrial applications |
Applications
| Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Node | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: A wireless environmental sensor operates from a CR2032 coin cell and must maintain reliable reset behavior across –25°C to +70°C ambient, with separate monitoring of core (1.8V) and I/O (3.3V) rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6387XS31D3 monitors 3.3V I/O supply with 3.08V threshold and uses RESET IN to supervise 1.8V core via resistor divider, asserting reset if either rail drops out. Use Value: Dual-rail supervision prevents partial initialization failures; 140ms timeout ensures full µP boot sequence completion before release. | Use Scenario: An isolated digital input module in a factory automation system requires fail-safe reset during 24V DC supply fluctuations and local 5V logic rail instability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6387XS31D3 supervises the 5V logic rail (3.08V threshold) while RESET IN monitors a scaled-down version of the 24V field supply, triggering reset on either fault. Use Value: Eliminates need for two discrete supervisors; push-pull output drives optocoupler input directly without pull-up, saving board space and BOM cost. |
| Medical Wearable Monitor | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
Use Scenario: A wearable ECG patch uses a single-cell Li-ion battery (2.7–4.2V) and must guarantee safe shutdown and restart under low-battery brownout conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6387XS31D3 monitors battery voltage directly at VCC and uses RESET IN to track regulated 1.2V analog front-end supply, ensuring coordinated reset of digital and analog subsystems. Use Value: 3µA supply current extends runtime; 1V operational limit prevents spurious resets during deep discharge transitions. | Use Scenario: A BCM subassembly powers multiple CAN transceivers and microcontrollers from a shared 5V rail subject to load-dump transients and cold-crank voltage sag. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6387XS31D3 supervises main 5V rail (3.08V threshold) and uses RESET IN to monitor backup 3.3V domain, asserting reset if either fails during engine start. Use Value: 35µs VCC glitch rejection suppresses false triggers during cranking; push-pull output meets automotive reset timing requirements without external components. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387LT31D3 | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN (1.5×1.0mm) instead of 4-pin SC70 (1.0×1.0mm); higher thermal mass and lower thermal resistance | Better suited for high-reliability industrial applications requiring enhanced thermal performance and board-level reworkability | Select when PCB layout allows larger footprint and thermal management is prioritized over minimal size |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | TI part with 3.0V threshold (±0.5% typical), 200ms timeout, 1.6µA ICC at 1.8V, but no RESET IN input - single-rail only | Lacks auxiliary voltage monitoring capability; requires separate supervisor or resistor network for dual-rail use | Choose only for single-supply systems where lowest possible current draw and tighter threshold tolerance are critical |
Compared with MAX6387LT31D3, the MAX6387XS31D3 offers superior space efficiency in ultra-compact designs; versus TPS3808G30DBVR, it delivers essential dual-rail supervision at the cost of slightly higher quiescent current and looser threshold tolerance.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6387XS31D3?
The MAX6387XS31D3 has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This value is fixed and cannot be adjusted externally; it applies strictly to the VCC supply monitoring function.
Does the MAX6387XS31D3 include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the MAX6387XS31D3 does not feature a manual reset (MR) input. Unlike MAX6384–MAX6386 or MAX6390 variants, this part omits MR functionality. Its pinout consists solely of VCC, RESET, RESET IN, and GND - confirming dedicated dual-supply supervision without user-initiated reset capability.
How does the RESET IN pin function in the MAX6387XS31D3?
The RESET IN pin in the MAX6387XS31D3 connects to an internal comparator referenced to a precise 1.27V bandgap. When the voltage at RESET IN falls below 1.27V, the device asserts reset regardless of VCC status. Users typically apply a resistor divider to scale a second supply rail (e.g., 1.8V or 3.3V) to match this threshold, enabling true dual-voltage supervision.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which the MAX6387XS31D3 guarantees correct RESET output logic state?
The MAX6387XS31D3 guarantees valid RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this level, the internal circuitry may not operate reliably. This specification ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions, a key requirement for fail-safe embedded systems.
Can the MAX6387XS31D3 replace a MAX809 in an existing design?
The MAX6387XS31D3 is not a direct replacement for the MAX809 due to differences in pinout, reset threshold (3.08V vs. 2.93V/3.08V/3.3V options), and added RESET IN functionality. While both are push-pull active-low supervisors, the MAX6387XS31D3 requires PCB layout changes and verification of RESET IN handling; it is pin-incompatible with the 3-pin MAX809 SC70 package.
