Product details
Overview
MAX6389XS23D3+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, open-drain active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.31V 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 portable battery-powered equipment and dual-voltage systems requiring reliable power-on reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389XS23D3+ datasheet, MAX6389XS23D3+ pinout, MAX6389XS23D3+ application, or MAX6389XS23D3+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SC70-4 package mapping, auxiliary voltage monitoring capability, reset timing accuracy over temperature, and real-world design implications for brownout immunity and manual reset integration.
Technical Context
The MAX6389XS23D3+ integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.31V threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C) and an independent auxiliary input (RESET IN) referenced to +1.27V, enabling dual-rail supervision. Its internal timer guarantees ≥140ms reset assertion after VCC recovery.
It features open-drain RESET output requiring external pull-up, guaranteed valid logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, and immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive - critical for noisy power rails in embedded controllers and intelligent instruments.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.31V ±2.5% (–40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable detection of 2.5V rail brownout before µP malfunction. |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum; holds µP in reset long enough for power stabilization and clock settling. |
| Supply Current | 3µA at +1.8V; enables multi-year battery life in portable medical or sensor devices. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout or partial power loss. |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low; allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting across voltage domains. |
| Auxiliary Input | RESET IN referenced to +1.27V; monitors secondary rail (e.g., I/O supply) via external resistor divider. |
| Tempco | 60ppm/°C; maintains threshold stability across automotive under-hood temperatures. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6389XS23D3+ is housed in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4-1), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SC70-4 layouts and suitable for high-density PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor rail; powers internal circuitry and sets reset threshold reference point. |
| 2 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to avoid false resets. |
| 3 | RESET IN | High-impedance auxiliary input compared to +1.27V reference; enables user-defined second-voltage supervision. |
| 4 | RESET | Open-drain active-low output; requires external pull-up resistor to host rail; asserts low during fault conditions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC and external rail via RESET IN enables robust dual-supply systems (e.g., core + I/O). |
| Low-power operation | 3µA supply current at 1.8V allows integration into always-on battery-backed subsystems without measurable drain. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET output remains logically valid down to VCC = 1.0V, preventing undefined µP states during deep brownout. |
| Negative transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤35µs duration at 100mV overdrive, eliminating spurious resets in electrically noisy environments. |
| Factory-trimmed accuracy | ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance over full temperature range eliminates need for external calibration or margining. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6389LT23D3+ | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN-6 (L611-1) package; higher thermal dissipation and better high-frequency noise rejection. | Suitable for space-constrained industrial boards where µDFN's smaller pitch and lower inductance improve EMI performance. | Select when PCB layout allows µDFN and thermal management or EMI is critical; not pin-compatible with SC70-4. |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | TI part with 1.25V threshold, 200ms timeout, push-pull active-low output, and no auxiliary input; ±0.5% initial accuracy but wider tempco (100ppm/°C). | Best for single-rail systems needing tighter initial threshold tolerance but lacking dual-supply monitoring requirement. | Choose only if auxiliary voltage monitoring is unnecessary and higher accuracy at room temperature outweighs dual-rail capability. |
Compared with MAX6389XS23D3+, the µDFN-packaged MAX6389LT23D3+ offers improved thermal and EMI performance in dense layouts, while TPS3808G125DBVR trades dual-rail supervision for superior initial accuracy in single-rail applications - neither is pin-compatible, requiring board redesign.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6389XS23D3+ and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6389XS23D3+ has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.31V with ±2.5% tolerance over the full operating range of –40°C to +125°C. This corresponds to a minimum threshold of 2.25V and maximum of 2.37V at temperature extremes. The 60ppm/°C tempco ensures minimal drift, making MAX6389XS23D3+ suitable for applications where supply rails must be monitored reliably across wide ambient conditions.
Does MAX6389XS23D3+ support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6389XS23D3+ includes a dedicated RESET IN pin referenced to an internal +1.27V comparator. To monitor a second voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 1.8V), connect an external resistor divider between that rail and ground, with the midpoint fed to RESET IN. The threshold is set by VTH = 1.27V × (R1/R2 + 1), allowing precise user-defined trip points without additional components beyond two resistors.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6389XS23D3+, and what external components are required?
The RESET output of MAX6389XS23D3+ is an open-drain active-low signal, meaning it pulls low during reset and floats high otherwise. An external pull-up resistor to the host µP's supply rail (e.g., 10kΩ to 3.3V) is mandatory. This configuration enables wired-OR reset buses, level translation, and compatibility with µPs requiring active-low reset inputs - no additional drivers or logic are needed.
How does MAX6389XS23D3+ behave during severe VCC brownout, and down to what voltage does it guarantee correct reset assertion?
MAX6389XS23D3+ guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring the microprocessor remains held in reset even during deep brownout events. Below 1.0V, internal circuitry may become nonfunctional, but the device is specified to maintain valid reset signaling throughout its entire 1.0V–5.5V operating range - a key reliability feature for battery-powered systems experiencing end-of-life voltage sag.
Is MAX6389XS23D3+ pin-compatible with legacy Maxim reset ICs like MAX809 or MAX6326?
No, MAX6389XS23D3+ is not pin-compatible with MAX809 (3-pin SOT23) or MAX6326 (4-pin SOT143). It uses a 4-pin SC70 package with pinout VCC-GND-RESET IN-RESET, whereas those legacy parts have different pin assignments and lack the RESET IN function. While electrically comparable in supervision function, MAX6389XS23D3+ requires a dedicated PCB footprint and cannot serve as a drop-in replacement without layout modification.
