Product details
Overview
MAX6389LT26D3+T from Maxim Integrated is an open-drain active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for dual-voltage system monitoring. It features a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.63V (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C), 140ms 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 output down to VCC = 1V - used in battery-powered instrumentation and industrial controllers requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389LT26D3+T datasheet, MAX6389LT26D3+T pinout, MAX6389LT26D3+T application, or MAX6389LT26D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain active-low reset output, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V - critical for low-power embedded systems with tight supply margins.
Technical Context
The MAX6389LT26D3+T integrates two independent reset comparators: one monitors VCC against a fixed 2.63V threshold, while the second compares the external RESET IN pin to an internal +1.27V reference. Reset asserts when either voltage falls below its respective threshold, and remains asserted for ≥140ms after recovery.
Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup resistor and supports sink currents up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOL ≤ 0.4V). The RESET IN input exhibits ≤50nA leakage and enables user-defined thresholds via resistor-divider networks - enabling flexible secondary supply monitoring without additional ICs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6389XS26D3+T | Same electrical specs but in 4-pin SC70 with different package code (XS vs LT); identical pinout and thermal performance | No functional difference; selected when standard SC70 footprint (not µDFN) is preferred for assembly or layout reuse | Drop-in replacement if board uses SC70 land pattern 90-0187; verify RoHS status per suffix (+T = lead-free) |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold, push-pull active-low output, 200ms timeout; higher ICC (8μA @ 3.3V) | Lacks RESET IN input; not suitable for dual-supply monitoring; better for single-rail 3.3V systems with tighter timing budgets | Choose when only VCC supervision is needed and push-pull drive simplifies BOM; avoid if auxiliary voltage monitoring is required |
Compared with MAX6389LT26D3+T, MAX6389XS26D3+T offers identical functionality in a functionally equivalent SC70 package, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades dual-monitoring capability for higher drive strength and simpler interface - making it viable only in single-supply designs where RESET IN is unused.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6389LT26D3+T?
The MAX6389LT26D3+T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed limits of 2.56V (min) and 2.69V (max) over the full −40°C to +125°C temperature range. This value is trimmed during production and specified in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet; it applies exclusively to the "26" suffix variant of the MAX6389LT26D3+T.
Does the MAX6389LT26D3+T support monitoring a second voltage rail?
Yes, the MAX6389LT26D3+T includes a dedicated RESET IN pin that compares an external voltage to an internal +1.27V reference. When the voltage at RESET IN falls below this threshold, the device asserts reset - enabling dual-rail supervision without external components. This feature is confirmed in the Pin Description and Selector Guide sections for MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 variants.
What is the reset timeout duration for the MAX6389LT26D3+T?
The MAX6389LT26D3+T provides a minimum reset timeout period of 140ms, denoted by the "D3" suffix in the part number. This value is guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage, and is distinct from manual reset timeout (not applicable to MAX6389, which lacks MR input).
What package type and footprint does the MAX6389LT26D3+T use?
The MAX6389LT26D3+T is supplied in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), with dimensions of 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. Pin 1 is RESET, Pin 2 is VCC, Pin 3 is RESET IN, and Pin 4 is GND - matching the top-view diagram in the Pin Configurations section of the datasheet.
Is the MAX6389LT26D3+T qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX6389LT26D3+T is not explicitly marked with the /V automotive qualification suffix in its ordering code, and the datasheet lists /V versions only for specific variants (e.g., MAX6389XS30D2/V+T). Therefore, MAX6389LT26D3+T is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) but is not AEC-Q100 certified unless ordered with /V suffix - confirm qualification status via official Maxim/Analog Devices documentation before automotive deployment.
