Product details
Overview
MAX6389LT26D6+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 2.63V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C), 560ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring in embedded power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389LT26D6+T datasheet, MAX6389LT26D6+T pinout, MAX6389LT26D6+T application, or MAX6389LT26D6+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, ±2.5% threshold accuracy across automotive temperature range, 3μA supply current at 1.8V, and support for external resistor-divider–based secondary voltage supervision via RESET IN.
Technical Context
The MAX6389LT26D6+T implements a precision bandgap-based VCC reset comparator with 60ppm/°C tempco and an independent +1.27V reference for the RESET IN auxiliary input. It asserts reset when either VCC falls below 2.63V or RESET IN drops below its threshold (set by external divider).
Its internal timer guarantees a minimum 560ms reset assertion after VCC recovery or RESET IN recovery, with reset deassertion synchronized to the end of that timeout. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and remains valid down to VCC = 1V, enabling robust brownout detection in low-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.63V (nominal), ±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive temperature range |
| Reset Timeout Period | 560ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for μP initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible voltage-level translation with external pullup |
| Auxiliary Input | RESET IN with +1.27V internal reference - supports user-defined second-voltage monitoring via external resistor divider |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Reset Comparator Tempco | 60ppm/°C - minimizes threshold drift over temperature, critical for stable long-term reliability |
Pinout & Package
MAX6389LT26D6+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin μDFN package (1.5mm × 1.5mm, 0.5mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive and industrial control modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and reset comparator; must be low-impedance connection |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor; powers device and triggers reset when below 2.63V |
| 3 | N.C. | No internal connection; left unconnected per design - no routing or termination required |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary high-impedance input referenced to +1.27V; used with external resistor divider to monitor second supply rail |
| 5 | N.C. | No internal connection; left unconnected per design - no routing or termination required |
| 6 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; sinks current when asserted; requires external pullup resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC (2.63V threshold) and user-configurable second rail via RESET IN with ±1.5% reference accuracy |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V enables >10-year battery life in always-on supervisory applications |
| Automotive-grade thermal stability | ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy maintained from −40°C to +125°C without calibration |
| Brownout immunity | Guaranteed valid RESET output state down to VCC = 1V - prevents spurious release during deep undervoltage |
| Transient rejection | Immune to negative-going VCC glitches ≤35µs at 100mV overdrive - suppresses noise-induced false resets |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6389XS26D6+T | Same reset threshold (2.63V) and timeout (560ms), but in 4-pin SC70 package - smaller footprint, no N.C. pins | Limited to single-rail monitoring only; lacks RESET IN pin - unsuitable for dual-voltage systems | Select when board space is constrained and only VCC supervision is required |
| TLV809E26DBVR | 2.63V threshold, 560ms timeout, open-drain output, but no auxiliary RESET IN input and ±3% threshold accuracy over −40°C to +125°C | Designed for cost-sensitive consumer applications; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Select for non-automotive industrial use where RESET IN functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6389LT26D6+T, the SC70 variant sacrifices dual-supply capability for compactness, while the TLV809E26DBVR trades automotive qualification and auxiliary monitoring for lower unit cost and broader commercial availability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6389LT26D6+T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6389LT26D6+T has a factory-set nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full −40°C to +125°C operating range. Its 60ppm/°C tempco ensures minimal drift, making it suitable for automotive and industrial applications where thermal stability is critical. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does MAX6389LT26D6+T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6389LT26D6+T includes a dedicated RESET IN pin referenced to an internal +1.27V precision bandgap. By connecting an external resistor divider between the second supply rail and ground, users can set a custom reset threshold using the formula VINTH = 1.27V × (R1/R2 + 1). The MAX6389LT26D6+T asserts reset if either VCC falls below 2.63V or the voltage at RESET IN drops below its calculated threshold.
What is the function of the two N.C. pins on the 6-pin μDFN package of MAX6389LT26D6+T?
Pins 3 and 5 of the MAX6389LT26D6+T's 6-pin μDFN package are designated No Connection (N.C.) - they are not bonded internally and serve no electrical function. These pins must remain unconnected on the PCB; no routing, termination, or grounding is required. Their presence accommodates pin compatibility across the MAX6381–MAX6390 family while maintaining consistent package dimensions.
Can MAX6389LT26D6+T operate reliably during deep brownout conditions, and what is its minimum functional VCC?
Yes, MAX6389LT26D6+T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This ensures deterministic reset assertion and hold time even during severe undervoltage events - a key requirement for fail-safe operation in automotive and medical systems where power collapse may occur gradually.
Is MAX6389LT26D6+T qualified for automotive applications, and what certification does it hold?
Yes, MAX6389LT26D6+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. The "/V" suffix denotes automotive qualification, and while this specific part number omits "/V", its underlying MAX6389 base device and packaging (μDFN) are explicitly listed in the datasheet's Ordering Information as AEC-Q100 compliant when ordered with the /V suffix. The +T suffix confirms RoHS-compliant, lead-free packaging suitable for automotive manufacturing.
