Product details
Overview
MAX6389XS17D3 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, open-drain active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 1.67V reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring, and operation down to VCC = 1.0V. It consumes only 3µA at +1.8V and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), used in battery-powered embedded controllers requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389XS17D3 datasheet, MAX6389XS17D3 pinout, MAX6389XS17D3 application, or MAX6389XS17D3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain reset output configuration, 1.67V ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 140ms VCC reset timeout, auxiliary voltage monitor capability via RESET IN, and SC70-4 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6389XS17D3 integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 1.67V threshold while simultaneously accepting an external voltage on RESET IN for secondary supply supervision. Its internal timer guarantees reset assertion for ≥140ms after VCC rises above threshold or after RESET IN recovers.
It features an open-drain RESET output requiring an external pullup, a dedicated RESET IN pin referenced to a stable 1.27V internal reference, and guaranteed valid logic state down to VCC = 1.0V - enabling robust reset signaling even during deep brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.67V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across full industrial temperature range |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization before release |
| Supply Current | 3µA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion down to near-dead-battery conditions |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus sharing and flexible voltage-level translation |
| RESET IN Threshold | 1.27V internal reference - enables user-defined secondary reset point via resistor divider |
| Package | 4-pin SC70 (X4-1) - 1.3mm × 1.1mm footprint ideal for ultra-compact portable designs |
Pinout & Package
MAX6389XS17D3 is housed in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (pkg code X4-1), measuring 1.3mm × 1.1mm × 0.6mm, with gull-wing leads and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input; powers internal circuitry and serves as primary voltage monitor |
| 2 | RESET (active-low) | Open-drain output requiring external pullup; asserts low during reset condition |
| 3 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to 1.27V internal reference for dual-supply supervision |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal functions and voltage comparisons |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC and external rail via RESET IN enables single-chip protection for core/I/O dual-rail systems |
| 140ms guaranteed reset timeout | Ensures µP completes power stabilization and internal register initialization before release |
| 1.67V ±2.5% threshold accuracy | Minimizes false resets in noisy environments and maintains reliability across temperature extremes |
| Open-drain RESET with 1.0µA max leakage | Permits level-shifting and shared reset buses without contention or voltage conflict |
| Valid operation down to VCC = 1.0V | Guarantees correct reset polarity and timing even during severe brownout or battery depletion |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Sensor Node | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: A wireless environmental sensor operates from a CR2032 coin cell and must retain valid reset signaling until battery voltage drops below 1.8V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6389XS17D3 monitors VCC and asserts open-drain RESET to hold the MCU in reset until stable supply is confirmed. Use Value: 3µA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 5 years; 1.67V threshold aligns with LiMnO₂ discharge curve; 140ms timeout satisfies ARM Cortex-M0 startup requirements. | Use Scenario: An isolated digital I/O module supplies separate 3.3V core and 24V field-side rails, requiring coordinated reset assertion if either fails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6389XS17D3 uses VCC for 3.3V core monitoring and RESET IN (via resistor divider) for 24V rail supervision. Use Value: Single IC eliminates need for two discrete supervisors; open-drain output interfaces cleanly with optocoupled reset distribution network. |
| Medical Wearable Controller | Automotive Body Control Unit (BCU) |
Use Scenario: A wearable ECG patch uses a low-noise LDO and must avoid spurious resets during transient load switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6389XS17D3 provides immunity to sub-100ns VCC glitches while asserting reset during sustained brownout. Use Value: Negative-going transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive prevents false triggers; ±2.5% threshold stability ensures consistent behavior across body temperature range. | Use Scenario: A BCU monitors both 5V logic supply and 12V vehicle battery, needing fail-safe reset if either dips below specification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6389XS17D3 supervises 5V rail directly on VCC and scales 12V via RESET IN resistor network to match 1.27V reference. Use Value: Eliminates external reference and comparator; 140ms timeout meets ISO 16750-2 cold-crank reset hold-time requirement. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387XS17D3 | Same 1.67V threshold and 140ms timeout, but 6-pin µDFN-6 package (L611-1) instead of 4-pin SC70 | Requires larger PCB area and different layout; no change in functionality or timing | Select when board space permits larger package or when thermal dissipation margin is critical |
| TLV803EB16DBZR | 1.6V threshold (vs. 1.67V), 140ms timeout, SOT-23-3 package, 0.5µA typical ICC at 1.8V | Lacks RESET IN pin - supports only single-rail monitoring; lower current draw but no dual-supply capability | Select for cost-sensitive single-rail applications where auxiliary monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6389XS17D3, MAX6387XS17D3 offers identical electrical behavior in a larger µDFN package suitable for higher thermal mass, while TLV803EB16DBZR reduces supply current by 40% but sacrifices dual-voltage supervision - making MAX6389XS17D3 the optimal choice when RESET IN functionality and SC70 size are required.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6389XS17D3?
The MAX6389XS17D3 has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 1.67V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet under suffix "17", and applies specifically to the MAX6389XS17D3 variant - not inferred from adjacent thresholds or family averages.
Does the MAX6389XS17D3 support dual-voltage monitoring?
Yes, the MAX6389XS17D3 supports dual-voltage monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage to a precise 1.27V internal reference. When either VCC falls below 1.67V or the voltage at RESET IN drops below 1.27V, the device asserts its open-drain RESET output - enabling coordinated reset for core/I/O or logic/sensor supply pairs.
What is the function of the RESET IN pin on the MAX6389XS17D3?
The RESET IN pin on the MAX6389XS17D3 is a high-impedance input to a secondary comparator referenced to 1.27V. It allows users to monitor a second voltage rail using an external resistor divider. Reset asserts if either VCC < 1.67V or RESET IN < 1.27V - providing true dual-supply supervision in a single 4-pin SC70 package.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6389XS17D3 use?
The MAX6389XS17D3 uses a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (pkg code X4-1), with overall dimensions of 1.3mm × 1.1mm × 0.6mm and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is identified by a beveled edge or dot marking. This package is distinct from the 3-pin SC70 (X3-2) and 6-pin µDFN (L611-1) variants used across the MAX6381–MAX6390 family.
Is the MAX6389XS17D3 pin-compatible with other parts in the MAX6381–MAX6390 family?
No - the MAX6389XS17D3 uses a 4-pin SC70 package with pinout VCC–RESET–RESET IN–GND, whereas MAX6381/MAX6382/MAX6383 use 3-pin SC70 (no RESET IN), and MAX6384–MAX6390 in µDFN use 6 pins. While functionally related, pin compatibility exists only within same-package variants (e.g., MAX6387XS17D3 in µDFN), not across package types.
