Product details
Overview
MAX6389LT23D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 2.31V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, used in battery-powered instrumentation and dual-rail embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389LT23D3+T datasheet, MAX6389LT23D3+T pinout, MAX6389LT23D3+T application, or MAX6389LT23D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.31V threshold accuracy, 140ms VCC reset delay, open-drain output requiring external pullup, RESET IN comparator referenced to +1.27V, and guaranteed valid reset state down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6389LT23D3+T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.31V threshold, asserting reset when VCC falls below that level and holding it for ≥140ms after recovery. Its auxiliary RESET IN pin compares an external voltage to an internal +1.27V reference, enabling independent monitoring of a second rail via resistor divider.
It features negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive, guarantees reset output validity down to VCC = 1V, and uses BiCMOS process for stable operation across -40°C to +125°C. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup resistor and sinks up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V with VOL ≤ 0.4V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6389XS23D3+T | Same 2.31V threshold and 140ms timeout, but in 3-pin SC70 package with no RESET IN pin | Lacks auxiliary voltage monitoring capability; suitable only for single-rail systems | Select when space-constrained layout prohibits 4-pin footprint and dual-supply monitoring is unnecessary |
| TLV809K23DBZR | 2.32V threshold, 140ms timeout, open-drain output, but no RESET IN input and ±3% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C | Single-supply only; lower accuracy spec; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial applications where dual-rail supervision and automotive qualification are not required |
Compared with MAX6389LT23D3+T, MAX6389XS23D3+T sacrifices RESET IN functionality for smaller size, while TLV809K23DBZR offers lower cost but reduced accuracy and no dual-monitoring capability-making MAX6389LT23D3+T optimal for space-limited, safety-critical dual-rail designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6389LT23D3+T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6389LT23D3+T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.31V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed bandgap reference and comparator circuitry, ensuring reliable brownout detection without external calibration. The MAX6389LT23D3+T maintains this tolerance across all specified conditions, making it suitable for automotive and industrial environments where thermal drift must be minimized.
Does MAX6389LT23D3+T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6389LT23D3+T supports dual-voltage supervision via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage to an internal +1.27V reference with ±2.5% accuracy. To monitor a second rail, connect a resistor divider between that rail and GND, with the midpoint fed to RESET IN. The MAX6389LT23D3+T asserts reset if either VCC falls below 2.31V or the voltage at RESET IN drops below +1.27V, enabling coordinated reset for multi-domain systems.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6389LT23D3+T and what external components are required?
The RESET output of MAX6389LT23D3+T is an open-drain active-low signal requiring an external pullup resistor to the target logic supply (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). It sinks up to 3.2mA when asserted (low) and exhibits VOL ≤ 0.4V at VCC ≥ 4.5V. No pullup is integrated internally, so a typical 10kΩ resistor is used. This configuration allows wired-OR connection with other reset sources and ensures compatibility with mixed-voltage systems, a key design feature of the MAX6389LT23D3+T.
How does the 140ms reset timeout period of MAX6389LT23D3+T benefit system reliability during power recovery?
The 140ms minimum reset timeout of MAX6389LT23D3+T ensures the microprocessor remains held in reset long enough for all internal registers, PLLs, and memory subsystems to stabilize after VCC recovers above 2.31V. This prevents premature code execution that could corrupt RAM or misconfigure peripherals. The MAX6389LT23D3+T guarantees this delay is met across -40°C to +125°C and under varying load conditions, directly supporting IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 functional safety requirements for embedded control systems.
Is MAX6389LT23D3+T qualified for automotive applications, and what packaging options support that use case?
The MAX6389LT23D3+T itself is not automotive-qualified; however, the MAX6389XS23D3/V+T variant (same electrical specs, 3-pin SC70) is AEC-Q100 qualified. The "/V" suffix denotes automotive qualification, and the "+T" indicates lead-free/RoHS compliance. For automotive body control or infotainment modules requiring dual-rail supervision, designers should specify the /V version. The MAX6389LT23D3+T remains ideal for industrial and medical applications where extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) and precision are critical but formal automotive certification is not required.
