Product details
Overview
The MAX6389XS46D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring in embedded power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6389XS46D3-T datasheet, MAX6389XS46D3-T pinout, MAX6389XS46D3-T application, or MAX6389XS46D3-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SC70-4 package mapping, reset timing behavior, dual-supply monitoring capability, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification status.
Technical Context
The MAX6389XS46D3-T integrates a precision voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a fixed 4.63V threshold and a separate auxiliary comparator referenced to +1.27V at the RESET IN pin, enabling independent monitoring of a second supply rail via external resistor divider. Its internal timer guarantees 140ms minimum reset assertion after VCC recovery or RESET IN recovery.
It features open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup, guaranteed valid logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, ±2.5% threshold accuracy across temperature, and immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive - all within a 4-pin SC70 package rated for -40°C to +125°C operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V (nominal), ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection for 5V/4.5V systems |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms (min) - holds μP in reset long enough for stable power-up of core and I/O supplies |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V, 6μA at +3.6V - enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power always-on monitoring |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - supports wired-OR reset buses and mixed-voltage system interfacing |
| Auxiliary Input | RESET IN pin with +1.27V reference - allows user-defined second-supply threshold via resistor divider |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees reset validity during deep brownout and supports wide-input power rails |
Pinout & Package
MAX6389XS46D3-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6389LT46D3-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN package; no SC70 footprint compatibility | Preferred for high-density PCBs where thermal performance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) is less critical than size | Select when board space allows larger package and higher thermal resistance is acceptable |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold (not 4.63V); 200ms default timeout; push-pull output (not open-drain) | Suitable for single-rail 3.3V systems only; lacks auxiliary RESET IN input | Choose only for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only designs without dual-supply monitoring requirement |
Compared with MAX6389XS46D3-T, the MAX6389LT46D3-T offers identical functionality in a thermally less efficient but mechanically more robust µDFN package, while TPS3808G33DBVR provides lower-cost single-rail supervision at the expense of threshold flexibility, dual-monitoring capability, and open-drain interoperability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6389XS46D3-T?
The MAX6389XS46D3-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed 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 official datasheet and applies specifically to the "46" suffix variant. The MAX6389XS46D3-T uses this threshold to monitor VCC and assert reset when the supply falls below this level.
Does the MAX6389XS46D3-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail?
Yes, the MAX6389XS46D3-T includes a dedicated RESET IN pin that connects to an internal +1.27V reference comparator. By applying a resistor divider to this pin, users can configure a custom reset threshold for a second supply rail - for example, setting a 3.3V threshold using R1 = 158kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ. This dual-monitoring capability is intrinsic to the MAX6389XS46D3-T and is documented in the Pin Description and Applications Information sections.
What is the function of the RESET output on the MAX6389XS46D3-T?
The RESET output of the MAX6389XS46D3-T is an open-drain, active-low signal. It pulls low when VCC falls below 4.63V or when the voltage at RESET IN drops below its programmed threshold, and remains low for a guaranteed minimum of 140ms after recovery. Because it is open-drain, an external pullup resistor is required - typically to the host MCU's VDDIO rail. This design allows wired-OR connection with other reset sources, a key feature of the MAX6389XS46D3-T.
Is the MAX6389XS46D3-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6389XS46D3-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. The "+T" suffix denotes RoHS-compliance, and the device is specified for operation across -40°C to +125°C, meeting Grade 1 automotive temperature requirements. Its transient immunity, precise threshold accuracy, and dual-supply monitoring make it suitable for body control modules, infotainment systems, and ADAS subsystems - all validated per the MAX6381–MAX6390 family's automotive qualification documentation.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6389XS46D3-T use?
The MAX6389XS46D3-T is supplied in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. This compact RoHS-compliant package features gull-wing leads and is optimized for reflow soldering. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 322.6°C/W on a multilayer PCB - a value explicitly published in the Package Information section of the MAX6389XS46D3-T datasheet.
