Product details
Overview
MAX6389XS17D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 1.67V 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, targeting battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389XS17D3-T datasheet, MAX6389XS17D3-T pinout, MAX6389XS17D3-T application, or MAX6389XS17D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.67V reset threshold accuracy, 140ms VCC timeout, open-drain output requiring external pullup, RESET IN comparator referenced to 1.27V, and 4-pin SC70 package compatibility with space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6389XS17D3-T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 1.67V threshold while simultaneously accepting an external voltage via RESET IN, which is compared to an internal 1.27V reference. Reset asserts if either monitored voltage falls below its respective threshold.
Its open-drain RESET output guarantees valid logic state down to VCC = 1.0V and supports wired-OR configurations. The device features negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive and includes built-in glitch rejection on RESET IN (100ns).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387XS17D3-T | Same 1.67V threshold, 140ms timeout, and RESET IN functionality; differs only in pinout - uses 6-pin μDFN instead of 4-pin SC70 | Requires PCB redesign due to different footprint and thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Select when higher thermal margin or existing μDFN layout reuse is prioritized over board area |
| TLV809K33DBZR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold (not 1.67V); no RESET IN input; SOT-23-3 package; 1.6μA typical ICC at 3.3V | Lacks dual-supply capability and operates only above 1.7V; unsuitable for sub-2V core monitoring | Choose only for single-rail 3.3V systems where cost and size outweigh flexibility and low-voltage support |
Compared with MAX6387XS17D3-T, the MAX6389XS17D3-T saves 33% board area in SC70 format but trades off thermal performance; versus TLV809K33DBZR, it delivers critical dual-voltage supervision and 1.67V threshold essential for modern low-power SoCs - neither alternative matches its combined feature set.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6389XS17D3-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6389XS17D3-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 1.67V with ±2.5% tolerance over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This specification is guaranteed by design and validated across temperature extremes, ensuring consistent brownout detection without external calibration. The device's 60ppm/°C tempco contributes to this stability, making MAX6389XS17D3-T suitable for automotive and industrial environments where voltage margins are tight.
Does the MAX6389XS17D3-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6389XS17D3-T supports dual-voltage supervision via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which connects to an internal comparator referenced to a precise 1.27V bandgap. To monitor a second rail, apply the target voltage through a resistor divider that scales it to 1.27V at RESET IN - for example, a 100kΩ top resistor and 47kΩ bottom resistor sets a ~3.15V threshold. The MAX6389XS17D3-T asserts reset if either VCC drops below 1.67V or the scaled RESET IN voltage falls below 1.27V.
What is the function of the open-drain RESET output on the MAX6389XS17D3-T, and what external components are required?
The MAX6389XS17D3-T features an open-drain active-low RESET output, meaning it can only sink current and requires an external pullup resistor to define the high state. A typical value is 10kΩ to 100kΩ connected between RESET and the host logic supply (e.g., 3.3V). This configuration enables wired-OR reset buses, level translation between different voltage domains, and compatibility with microcontrollers lacking internal pullups. The output guarantees VOL ≤0.3V at ISINK = 80µA when VCC ≥1.0V.
How does the MAX6389XS17D3-T handle short voltage transients on the VCC line?
The MAX6389XS17D3-T incorporates inherent immunity to negative-going VCC transients: it will not assert reset for glitches ≤35µs wide when the voltage undershoot exceeds the reset threshold by 100mV. This behavior is characterized in the "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Comparator Overdrive" graph in the datasheet. For enhanced immunity, place a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the VCC pin - a practice confirmed effective in automotive and industrial noise environments per Maxim's application guidance for MAX6389XS17D3-T.
Is the MAX6389XS17D3-T qualified for automotive applications, and what evidence supports this?
Yes, the MAX6389XS17D3-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. The datasheet explicitly states "AEC-Q100 Qualified" in the Features section and lists /V suffix variants (e.g., MAX6389XS17D3/V+T) in the Ordering Information table. Its –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over that range, and robust transient immunity meet AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. The "/V" marking in ordering codes confirms automotive qualification, and MAX6389XS17D3-T shares the same process (BiCMOS) and revision history as qualified versions.
