Product details
Overview
The MAX6389XS26D3 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, open-drain active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 2.63V 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 features ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, designed for reliable power-on reset in battery-powered and industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389XS26D3 datasheet, MAX6389XS26D3 pinout, MAX6389XS26D3 application, or MAX6389XS26D3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SC70-4 package layout, dual-supply monitoring capability, reset timing behavior under brownout, and real-world selection guidance against functionally aligned alternatives.
Technical Context
The MAX6389XS26D3 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and a separate +1.27V reference comparator for the RESET IN pin, enabling independent detection of two supply rails. Its internal timer guarantees a minimum 140ms reset assertion after VCC or RESET IN recovers above their respective thresholds.
It uses BiCMOS process technology (647 transistors), supports negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs for 100mV overdrive, and ensures valid reset output state down to VCC = 1.0V - critical for low-voltage brownout recovery in portable electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V (factory-set, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C) - defines precise brownout detection point for primary supply |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms min - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling |
| Supply Current | 3µA at +1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Operating Voltage | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V logic domains |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and level translation across mixed-voltage systems |
| RESET IN Threshold | +1.27V reference - enables user-defined secondary reset threshold via external resistor divider |
| VCC Transient Immunity | 35µs max for 100mV overdrive - suppresses false resets from short power glitches |
Pinout & Package
MAX6389XS26D3 is housed in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4-1), measuring 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.55mm, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and IoT devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input; powers internal circuitry and serves as reference for primary reset comparator |
| 2 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection for accurate threshold sensing |
| 3 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to +1.27V internal reference for dual-rail supervision |
| 4 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pullup to host logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 1.8V) |
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) |
| Factory-trimmed accuracy | ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance over full temperature range eliminates need for external calibration |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3µA at 1.8V allows integration into energy-harvesting and coin-cell-powered designs without compromising runtime |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET output remains logically valid down to VCC = 1.0V - ensures deterministic behavior during deep undervoltage events |
| Transient-immune architecture | Internal filtering rejects sub-35µs VCC dips, preventing spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG sensor operating from CR2032 coin cell with 1.8V MCU core and 3.3V analog front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises both 1.8V core and 3.3V analog supplies using VCC and RESET IN inputs; asserts open-drain RESET until both rails stabilize post-power-up. Use Value: Prevents firmware execution before ADC reference settles, eliminating data corruption during cold start. | Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted PLC module with isolated 24V DC input converted to 5V system rail and 3.3V logic rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5V system supply on VCC and 3.3V logic rail on RESET IN; triggers unified reset pulse if either drops below threshold. Use Value: Ensures synchronized restart of FPGA, communication interface, and analog signal chain during field power interruptions. |
| Automotive Body Control Units | Smart Meter Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: BCM microcontroller powered by automotive 5V LDO with backup 3.3V rail for real-time clock and nonvolatile memory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses VCC to supervise main 5V rail and RESET IN to monitor 3.3V backup rail; provides fail-safe reset if either supply collapses. Use Value: Guarantees safe shutdown and EEPROM write completion before complete power loss. | Use Scenario: Electricity meter with dual supplies: 3.3V for metrology ASIC and 1.8V for secure element. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured with VCC = 3.3V and RESET IN = 1.8V rail; asserts reset if metrology supply sags or secure element supply fails. Use Value: Prevents partial writes to tamper-evident memory during asymmetric brownout conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387XS26D3 | Same 2.63V 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 pad; better suited for high-reliability industrial boards needing enhanced thermal dissipation | Select MAX6387XS26D3 when board layout allows larger package and thermal performance is prioritized over size. |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 2.63V threshold and 200ms timeout; push-pull active-low output (no external pullup needed); higher ICC (12µA typical at 1.8V) | Lacks RESET IN input - supports single-rail supervision only; incompatible with dual-voltage monitoring use cases | Choose TPS3808G125DBVR only for space-constrained single-supply systems where open-drain flexibility is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6389XS26D3, MAX6387XS26D3 offers identical electrical behavior in a thermally superior but larger package, while TPS3808G125DBVR trades dual-rail capability for simpler push-pull drive and higher quiescent current - making MAX6389XS26D3 uniquely balanced for compact, dual-supply, ultra-low-power designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6389XS26D3?
The MAX6389XS26D3 has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is fixed and not adjustable; it is defined by the "26" suffix in the part number per Maxim's Reset Threshold table.
Does the MAX6389XS26D3 support monitoring of two independent power rails?
Yes, the MAX6389XS26D3 supports dual-rail supervision: VCC monitors the primary supply, while the dedicated RESET IN pin compares an external voltage to an internal +1.27V reference. This enables independent reset assertion if either rail falls below its configured threshold - confirmed in the Pin Description and Detailed Description sections.
What is the function of the RESET pin on the MAX6389XS26D3?
The RESET pin on the MAX6389XS26D3 is an open-drain active-low output. It sinks current when asserted (low) and floats when deasserted (high), requiring an external pullup resistor to the host logic rail. This configuration allows level shifting and wired-OR reset bus implementation, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Open-Drain RESET Output Voltage".
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6389XS26D3 use?
The MAX6389XS26D3 uses a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (X4-1), with nominal dimensions of 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.55mm. The top-marking and pin 1 indicator are defined in the SC70 package outline drawing (21-0098), and the device is rated for reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
How does the MAX6389XS26D3 behave during brief VCC voltage transients?
The MAX6389XS26D3 provides built-in immunity to short negative-going VCC transients: for a 100mV overdrive (i.e., VCC dipping 100mV below threshold), it tolerates pulses up to 35µs without asserting reset - as shown in the "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Comparator Overdrive" graph. This prevents false resets caused by switching noise or load dumps.
