Product details
Overview
The MAX6389XS44D3 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, open-drain active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-set 4.38V reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring. It operates from +1.0V to +5.5V supply, consumes only 3µA at +1.8V, and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 1V - ideal for battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-up/brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389XS44D3 datasheet, MAX6389XS44D3 pinout, MAX6389XS44D3 application, or MAX6389XS44D3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-drain reset output requiring external pull-up, ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 1.27V internal reference for RESET IN comparator, 4-pin SC70 package, and compatibility with dual-rail voltage monitoring in portable instrumentation and industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The MAX6389XS44D3 integrates a precision bandgap reference, comparator-based VCC monitor with hysteresis, and a separate high-impedance RESET IN comparator referenced to 1.27V. Its reset assertion logic triggers when either VCC falls below 4.38V or RESET IN drops below 1.27V, with independent timing control ensuring deterministic reset hold time.
It features negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs for 100mV overdrive, MR input glitch rejection of 100ns, and guaranteed reset state validity down to VCC = 1V - enabling robust operation during deep brownouts without external support circuitry.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose meter with dual-core MCU and analog front-end requiring coordinated reset during low-battery shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary VCC supervisor and secondary rail monitor (via RESET IN) - asserts reset when main supply drops below 4.38V or sensor bias rail fails. Use Value: 140ms timeout ensures complete ADC shutdown and EEPROM save before power loss; 3µA quiescent current extends battery life by >2 years. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted I/O module with isolated 5V logic and 24V field-side power, needing independent fault detection on both rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-supply supervisor - monitors 5V logic rail directly and 24V field rail via resistor divider on RESET IN. Use Value: Eliminates discrete resistor network and comparator; ±2.5% threshold accuracy avoids false trips during 24V line ripple. |
| Smart Energy Meters | Automotive Body Control Units |
Use Scenario: ANSI C12.20-compliant electricity meter with real-time clock, metrology ASIC, and RF transceiver - all requiring synchronized reset after AC dropout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System-level reset coordinator - asserts open-drain RESET to tie multiple ICs together with single pull-up. Use Value: Open-drain output enables shared reset bus; 1.0V–5.5V operating range covers wide input variation from backup capacitor discharge. |
Use Scenario: 12V automotive body controller with 5V MCU domain and 3.3V CAN transceiver domain, subject to load-dump and cold-crank transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brownout detector with transient immunity - ignores <35µs dips while asserting reset on sustained undervoltage. Use Value: Prevents MCU lockup during engine cranking; 4.38V threshold aligns with 5V regulator dropout point under load. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6389LT44D3 | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN-6 (L611-1) package - larger footprint, better thermal performance, no SC70 pinout compatibility | Preferred where board space permits and higher power dissipation margin is needed; not interchangeable in SC70 layout | Select for high-reliability industrial designs requiring enhanced thermal derating or reflow process compatibility with µDFN |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, push-pull active-low output - no RESET IN input, different timing and reference architecture | Suitable only for single-rail 3.3V systems; lacks dual-monitoring capability and open-drain flexibility | Choose only if redesigning for fixed 3.3V rail and accepting loss of auxiliary monitoring and wiring flexibility |
Compared with MAX6389XS44D3, the LT44D3 variant offers identical supervision functionality in a thermally superior µDFN package but requires PCB redesign, while the TPS3808G33DBVR sacrifices dual-rail capability and open-drain configurability for TI's production ecosystem integration.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6389XS44D3?
The MAX6389XS44D3 has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 4.38V, with 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, where suffix "44" corresponds to VTH(nom) = 4.38V, VTH(min) = 4.27V, and VTH(max) = 4.48V.
Does the MAX6389XS44D3 support manual reset functionality?
No, the MAX6389XS44D3 does not include a manual reset (MR) input. According to the Selector Guide and Pin Description tables, MR is present only on MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386/MAX6390 - whereas MAX6389 belongs to the RESET IN group (MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389) and features only VCC, RESET, RESET IN, and GND pins in its 4-pin SC70 configuration.
What is the purpose of the RESET IN pin on the MAX6389XS44D3?
The RESET IN pin on the MAX6389XS44D3 connects to an internal comparator referenced to a precise 1.27V bandgap voltage. When the voltage at this pin falls below 1.27V, the device asserts reset - enabling user-configurable secondary voltage monitoring using an external resistor divider. This allows dual-rail supervision without adding a second supervisor IC.
Can the MAX6389XS44D3 operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX6389XS44D3 guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. At VCC = 1.2V, it remains fully functional for reset assertion and deassertion, making it suitable for ultra-low-voltage backup domains and energy-harvesting applications where supply may dip below 1.8V.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6389XS44D3 use?
The MAX6389XS44D3 uses a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4-1), with outline dimensions of 1.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.75mm. The top-marking and pin 1 indicator follow standard SC70 conventions, and the package is compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020.
