Product details
Overview
MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 2.93V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring in portable and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T datasheet, MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T pinout, MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T application, or MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, open-drain drive capability, dual-supply monitoring support, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy across -40°C to +125°C and integrates an auxiliary voltage monitor comparing RESET IN to a stable +1.27V internal reference. It features fixed 140ms reset timeout after VCC recovery and supports external resistor-divider configuration for user-defined secondary reset thresholds.
Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and guarantees valid logic state down to VCC = 1V; it sinks ≥80µA at VOL ≤ 0.3V when asserted. The device consumes only 3µA at +1.8V and operates across 1.0V to 5.5V supply range, enabling use in ultra-low-power battery-backed applications.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Battery-Powered Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous ECG monitoring using coin-cell power with strict low-power requirements and dual-rail (core/I/O) voltage supervision. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises both 1.8V core and 3.3V I/O rails; asserts open-drain RESET to halt MCU on either rail collapse. Use Value: 3µA supply current extends battery life beyond 5 years; RESET IN pin enables precise 1.27V-referenced I/O rail monitoring without additional ICs. | Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controller requiring robust reset under wide temperature (-40°C to +85°C) and noisy 24V DC field power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3V logic supply and 5V auxiliary rail; provides 140ms reset hold time to ensure FPGA configuration stability after power recovery. Use Value: ±2.5% threshold accuracy over full industrial temperature range eliminates recalibration; open-drain output interfaces directly with optocoupled reset inputs. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Portable Test Equipment |
Use Scenario: Low-voltage reset supervision in 12V automotive subsystems where 3.3V domain must remain stable during cold-crank events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects brownout on 3.3V rail while RESET IN monitors 5V sensor supply; asserts shared reset line to microcontroller and CAN transceiver. Use Value: 140ms timeout exceeds ISO 16750-2 pulse 4b requirement; negative transient immunity prevents spurious resets during load-dump conditions. | Use Scenario: Handheld multimeter with dual batteries (main + backup) and separate analog/digital supplies requiring coordinated reset sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses VCC for main supply monitoring and RESET IN for backup supply validation; open-drain output drives common reset net across mixed-voltage subsystems. Use Value: 4-pin SC70 footprint saves PCB space in compact enclosures; guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V ensures reset integrity during battery swap transitions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6389LT29D3/V+T | 6-pin µDFN package (L611+1), same 2.93V threshold and 140ms timeout, automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C) | Requires larger PCB footprint; rated for AEC-Q100 Grade 3; suitable for under-hood automotive use | Select when automotive qualification or thermal margin beyond commercial grade is required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Active-low push-pull output (not open-drain); 3.3V threshold; 200ms timeout; 1.4µA typical ICC | Lacks auxiliary RESET IN input; incompatible with wired-OR reset bus topologies | Select when lower supply current is critical and open-drain functionality is not needed |
Compared with MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T, the MAX6389LT29D3/V+T offers identical electrical performance in a larger, automotive-qualified package, while the TPS3808G33DBVR reduces supply current but sacrifices dual-supply monitoring and open-drain flexibility-making MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T optimal for space-constrained, dual-rail designs requiring wired-OR reset architecture.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T and how is it specified?
The MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with minimum 2.85V and maximum 3.00V over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This ±2.5% tolerance is guaranteed by design and applies to all units without binning or external adjustment. The threshold is internally trimmed and referenced to a stable bandgap, eliminating need for external resistors or calibration in MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T applications.
Does MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T support monitoring of two independent power rails?
Yes, MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T supports dual-rail monitoring: VCC is monitored against its 2.93V factory-set threshold, and the RESET IN pin monitors a second voltage against an internal +1.27V reference. By connecting an external resistor divider to RESET IN, users can configure a custom threshold for the auxiliary rail. Reset asserts if either VCC falls below 2.93V or the voltage at RESET IN drops below +1.27V, making MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T ideal for systems with separate core and I/O supplies.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the RESET output on MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T?
The RESET output of MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T is an open-drain, active-low signal. When asserted (low), it sinks ≥80µA with VOL ≤ 0.3V at VCC ≥ 1.0V; when deasserted (high), it presents high impedance and requires an external pullup resistor. This topology enables wired-OR connection of multiple reset sources and level shifting across voltage domains-key advantages absent in push-pull alternatives. The output remains valid down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout conditions in MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T deployments.
How does the 140ms reset timeout period of MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T impact system reliability?
The 140ms minimum reset timeout of MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T ensures the microprocessor remains held in reset long enough for all power rails to stabilize and internal clocks to lock after a brownout or power-up event. This exceeds typical requirements for 3.3V systems (often 100ms) and aligns with industrial standards like IEC 61000-4-11 for immunity to short interruptions. The timeout is internally generated and temperature-compensated, maintaining ±10% variation over -40°C to +125°C-directly enhancing system boot reliability in MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T-based designs.
Is MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T compatible with lead-free PCB assembly processes?
Yes, MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T carries a "+" suffix in its package code (X4+1), indicating full RoHS compliance and suitability for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its SC70 package is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to +260°C, matching standard Pb-free process profiles. The device undergoes rigorous qualification per AEC-Q200 for moisture sensitivity (MSL1), ensuring robust performance in automated assembly lines handling MAX6389XS29D3/GH9T without popcorn or delamination risks.
