Product details
Overview
MAX6389XS44D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 4.38V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum VCC 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 power-critical embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389XS44D3-T datasheet, MAX6389XS44D3-T pinout, MAX6389XS44D3-T application, or MAX6389XS44D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SC70 package, ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy across automotive temperature range, 140ms VCC reset timeout, auxiliary voltage monitoring capability via RESET IN, and guaranteed valid reset state down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6389XS44D3-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 60ppm/°C tempco and internal 1.27V reference for its auxiliary RESET IN input. Its reset assertion logic responds to either VCC falling below 4.38V or RESET IN falling below 1.27V, with independent timing control for VCC-initiated and auxiliary-initiated resets.
It features an open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup, supports negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive, and guarantees correct output state down to VCC = 1V - enabling robust operation during deep brownout conditions without external level-shifting circuitry.

| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output - requires external pullup; asserts low on VCC or RESET IN fault |
| 3 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input - high-impedance node compared to internal 1.27V reference for dual-rail supervision |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.38V with ±2.5% tolerance over full automotive temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration |
| Dual-supply monitoring capability | Independent VCC and RESET IN comparators - enables supervision of core and I/O rails simultaneously |
| Low-power operation | 3μA supply current at 1.8V - reduces quiescent load in always-on subsystems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6389LT44D3-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN package - larger footprint, better thermal performance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Suitable for thermally demanding environments where 4-pin SC70 may exceed junction temperature limits | Select MAX6389LT44D3-T when board layout allows larger package and thermal dissipation is prioritized over size |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, push-pull output - no auxiliary input, higher 8μA ICC at 1.8V | Lacks dual-rail monitoring; suited for single-rail systems where RESET IN functionality is unnecessary | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if 3.3V threshold matches system requirement and auxiliary monitoring is not needed |
Compared with MAX6389XS44D3-T, the MAX6389LT44D3-T offers identical supervision functionality in a thermally superior but larger package, while the TPS3808G33DBVR provides simpler single-rail supervision at higher quiescent current and without auxiliary input capability - making MAX6389XS44D3-T optimal for compact dual-voltage designs requiring ultra-low power.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6389XS44D3-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6389XS44D3-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 4.38V, with guaranteed limits of 4.27V (min) and 4.48V (max) at +25°C. Over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range, the threshold remains within ±2.5% of nominal (i.e., 4.27V to 4.48V), with a tempco of 60ppm/°C - verified by design and production-tested per Maxim's specifications.
Does MAX6389XS44D3-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6389XS44D3-T supports dual-voltage monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which connects to an internal comparator referenced to a precise 1.27V bandgap. To supervise a second rail (e.g., 3.3V or 2.5V), apply the rail voltage through a resistor divider to RESET IN so that the divided voltage equals 1.27V at the desired trip point - enabling fully independent supervision of VCC and auxiliary supplies.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6389XS44D3-T and what external components are required?
The RESET output of MAX6389XS44D3-T is an open-drain active-low signal requiring an external pullup resistor to a valid logic-high voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). When asserted, it pulls low to signal reset condition; when deasserted, it floats high. No pullup is integrated - typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and drive strength requirements.
How does MAX6389XS44D3-T behave during severe supply voltage droop, and down to what VCC level does it remain functional?
MAX6389XS44D3-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring reliable reset assertion even during deep brownout events. Its internal circuitry remains operational and the reset comparator continues functioning until VCC falls below 1.0V - enabling controlled system shutdown before complete power loss.
Is MAX6389XS44D3-T qualified for automotive applications, and what evidence supports this claim?
Yes, MAX6389XS44D3-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. The "/V" suffix denotes automotive qualification, and the device is specified for –40°C to +125°C operation with guaranteed ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy across that range - meeting stringent automotive reliability and parametric stability requirements as documented in Maxim's official ordering information and data sheet.
