Product details
Overview
MAX6387XS42D2+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low push-pull reset output, factory-set 4.20V 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 battery-powered instrumentation and dual-rail embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6387XS42D2+T datasheet, MAX6387XS42D2+T pinout, MAX6387XS42D2+T application, or MAX6387XS42D2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.20V fixed VCC threshold, 20ms reset timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6387XS42D2+T integrates two independent voltage comparators: one monitors VCC against a factory-trimmed 4.20V threshold with ±2.5% accuracy over temperature, and the other compares RESET IN to an internal 1.27V reference for user-adjustable secondary supply monitoring. Its reset logic asserts active-low on either comparator trip and holds for exactly 20ms after recovery.
It uses BiCMOS process technology and features negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive, with MR input absent (unlike MAX6384–MAX6386/MAX6390) and no manual reset functionality - confirming its role as a dedicated dual-monitoring reset IC without user-initiated reset capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 4.20V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Reset Timeout Period | 20ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization after power stabilization |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered portable devices |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and drives low-impedance loads directly |
| Auxiliary Input | RESET IN referenced to 1.27V - allows precise secondary voltage monitoring via external resistor divider |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 35µs (VCC falling) / 4.5µs (RESET IN falling) - ensures fast response to supply faults while rejecting sub-microsecond noise |
Pinout & Package
MAX6387XS42D2+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor - must be connected to system VCC rail being supervised |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - drives microprocessor RESET# input directly without external components |
| 3 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input - accepts divided-down voltage for secondary supply supervision (e.g., I/O or core rail) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of main VCC (4.20V) and secondary supply via RESET IN - eliminates need for second supervisor IC in dual-rail systems |
| Factory-trimmed precision threshold | ±2.5% VTH accuracy over full -40°C to +125°C range - reduces calibration overhead in automotive/industrial designs |
| Low-power operation | 3μA ICC at +1.8V - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and wearables |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic μP reset assertion during deep undervoltage events - critical for fail-safe shutdown sequences |
| Negative transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤35µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Instrumentation | Dual-Rail Microcontroller Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Portable handheld multimeter with separate analog front-end (3.3V) and digital core (1.8V) supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6387XS42D2+T monitors 3.3V rail via VCC pin and 1.8V rail via RESET IN pin, asserting unified active-low reset when either drops below threshold.

Use Value: 3μA supply current enables >5-year shelf life; push-pull output avoids leakage path through external pullup. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387LT42D2+T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN package - larger footprint, better thermal performance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Preferred for high-reliability industrial designs requiring enhanced thermal margin and board-level reworkability | Select when PCB layout allows larger package and thermal dissipation is prioritized over size |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, open-drain output - lacks auxiliary RESET IN input and dual-monitoring capability | Suitable only for single-rail systems; requires external pullup and cannot supervise secondary voltage | Choose only for cost-sensitive single-supply applications where dual monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6387LT42D2+T, the MAX6387XS42D2+T saves 42% board area in 4-pin SC70 but trades 154.4°C/W higher junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds dual-supply supervision and push-pull drive at the cost of non-drop-in compatibility and different threshold/timing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6387XS42D2+T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6387XS42D2+T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 4.20V nominal, with ±2.5% accuracy guaranteed over the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This stability is achieved through laser trimming during production and confirmed by the device's 60ppm/°C tempco specification, ensuring consistent brownout detection in automotive and industrial environments where ambient temperature varies widely.
Does MAX6387XS42D2+T support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6387XS42D2+T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. Unlike MAX6384–MAX6386 and MAX6390 variants, this part is specifically configured for dual-voltage supervision only - with VCC and RESET IN inputs - and lacks the MR pin entirely. Its reset assertion is triggered solely by voltage faults on either monitored rail, making it ideal for fully autonomous power monitoring applications.
What is the function of the RESET IN pin on MAX6387XS42D2+T and how is it used in practice?
The RESET IN pin on MAX6387XS42D2+T connects to an internal 1.27V comparator reference, enabling supervision of a second voltage rail. In practice, it is used with an external resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 100kΩ, R2 = 100kΩ) to scale a target voltage (e.g., 3.3V) down to ~1.27V. When the scaled voltage falls below 1.27V, the device asserts reset - allowing one IC to monitor both main and auxiliary supplies without additional components.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6387XS42D2+T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6387XS42D2+T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098) measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with land pattern 90-0187. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant. This compact package supports high-density PCB layouts in portable and wearable electronics while maintaining standard reflow soldering compatibility at +260°C peak temperature.
How does the 20ms reset timeout of MAX6387XS42D2+T compare to other members of the MAX6381–MAX6390 family?
The 20ms reset timeout (denoted by "D2" in the part number) is one of seven standardized delays available in the MAX6381–MAX6390 family. It sits between the shortest (1ms, D1) and mid-range (140ms, D3) options, providing sufficient hold time for most 8-/16-bit microcontrollers to complete power-on initialization while avoiding excessive delay in fast-boot systems. All timeouts are minimum guaranteed values, with typical performance tighter than spec.
