Product details
Overview
MAX6389LT16D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 1.58V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring in embedded power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389LT16D3+T datasheet, MAX6389LT16D3+T pinout, MAX6389LT16D3+T application, or MAX6389LT16D3+T equivalent, this device serves as a precision voltage monitor and reset generator in battery-powered instrumentation, automotive control modules, and dual-rail industrial controllers where guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V and noise-immune auxiliary threshold detection are required.
Technical Context
The MAX6389LT16D3+T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 1.58V threshold while simultaneously comparing an external voltage at RESET IN to a +1.27V internal reference. It asserts reset when either voltage falls below its respective threshold.
Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup resistor and guarantees valid logic state down to VCC = 1V; the internal reset timer provides a guaranteed minimum 140ms timeout after VCC or RESET IN recovers, with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 1.58V (nominal), ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| RESET Timeout Period | 140ms (minimum) - guarantees sufficient processor hold time during power recovery |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices |
| RESET IN Threshold | +1.27V (nominal), ±2.5% over temperature - supports accurate secondary supply monitoring via external resistor divider |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - allows operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V/1.8V/3.3V/5V rails |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain active-low - enables wired-OR reset bus configuration and level translation across voltage domains |
| Input Leakage (RESET IN) | ±1nA max - permits use of high-value resistors (>1MΩ) in voltage dividers without threshold error |
Pinout & Package
MAX6389LT16D3+T is housed in a 6-pin μDFN package (1.5mm × 1.5mm, 0.5mm pitch, wettable flank), RoHS-compliant and qualified per AEC-Q100 for automotive applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and reset comparator; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor rail; powers internal circuitry and sets reset threshold reference point |
| 3 | N.C. | No internal connection; left unconnected on PCB; no routing or thermal pad required |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary high-impedance input for secondary voltage monitoring; compared to +1.27V internal reference |
| 5 | N.C. | No internal connection; left unconnected on PCB; no routing or thermal pad required |
| 6 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pullup resistor to host voltage domain; sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC (1.58V) and RESET IN (1.27V) thresholds enable robust dual-rail supervision without external comparators |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset signaling even during severe brownout conditions before power collapse |
| ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over temperature | Eliminates need for calibration or margining in automotive (-40°C to +125°C) and industrial designs |
| 140ms minimum reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for microprocessor initialization hold time |
| Low 3μA supply current at 1.8V | Extends battery life in portable medical sensors and IoT edge nodes operating from single-cell Li-ion or coin cells |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6389XS16D3+T | Same electrical specs but in 4-pin SC70 package (smaller footprint, no N.C. pins) | Limited to single-rail monitoring only - lacks RESET IN pin; no auxiliary voltage supervision capability | Select when board space is constrained and only VCC monitoring is required; not suitable for dual-voltage systems. |
| TLV809E16DBVR | 1.6V reset threshold, 140ms timeout, push-pull active-low output; no RESET IN input; 3-pin SOT-23 package | Single-threshold only; higher 1.6V threshold reduces margin for 1.8V systems; no auxiliary monitoring | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications needing basic reset only; not drop-in due to different pin count and output type. |
Compared with MAX6389LT16D3+T, MAX6389XS16D3+T sacrifices auxiliary monitoring for smaller size, while TLV809E16DBVR trades dual-rail capability and open-drain flexibility for lower cost and simpler layout - neither offers identical functionality, making MAX6389LT16D3+T uniquely suited for dual-supply fault detection in compact automotive and industrial modules.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6389LT16D3+T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6389LT16D3+T has a factory-set nominal VCC reset threshold of 1.58V, with guaranteed ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This stability is achieved via laser-trimmed bandgap reference and comparator design, eliminating need for external calibration in automotive and industrial environments where thermal drift must be tightly controlled.
Does MAX6389LT16D3+T support monitoring of two independent power supplies?
Yes, MAX6389LT16D3+T supports dual-supply monitoring: VCC is monitored against its fixed 1.58V threshold, while the RESET IN pin compares an external voltage to an internal +1.27V reference. Either condition triggering causes the open-drain RESET output to assert, enabling coordinated reset of systems with core and I/O rails.
What is the function of the N.C. pins on MAX6389LT16D3+T in the 6-pin μDFN package?
Pins 3 and 5 of MAX6389LT16D3+T are designated N.C. (No Connection) and are not bonded internally. They must remain unconnected on the PCB - no routing, vias, or thermal pads should be attached. These pins exist for mechanical symmetry and package compatibility across the MAX6381–MAX6390 family but carry no electrical function in this variant.
Can MAX6389LT16D3+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6389LT16D3+T is fully specified to operate down to VCC = 1.0V and guarantees correct RESET output logic state (valid high-impedance or asserted low) even at VCC = 1.0V. Its 3μA supply current at 1.8V and functional operation at 1.0V make it suitable for deep brownout detection in battery-depleted scenarios.
Is MAX6389LT16D3+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6381–MAX6390 family?
MAX6389LT16D3+T shares the same 6-pin μDFN pinout with MAX6387LTxxDx+T and MAX6388LTxxDx+T, including identical GND, VCC, RESET IN, and RESET assignments. However, it is not pin-compatible with MAX6384–MAX6386 (which feature MR instead of RESET IN) or MAX6381–MAX6383 (which lack both MR and RESET IN).
