Product details
Overview
MAX6390XS16D4+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 1.58V VCC reset threshold (suffix '16'), and dual timeout configuration: 1120ms VCC reset timeout (D4) and 140ms manual reset timeout. It operates from +1.0V to +5.5V supply, consumes only 3μA at +1.8V, and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V - ideal for battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and pushbutton-initiated recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6390XS16D4+ datasheet, MAX6390XS16D4+ pinout, MAX6390XS16D4+ application, or MAX6390XS16D4+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-drain reset architecture, precise ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 1.56kΩ internal MR pullup resistor, negative-going transient immunity, and SC70-4 package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6390XS16D4+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a fixed 1.58V threshold, with hysteresis and temperature compensation ensuring ±2.5% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. Its internal timer generates two distinct timeout periods: a long 1120ms VCC reset assertion after power-up/brownout and a short 140ms manual reset assertion after MR deassertion.
It features an active-low manual reset input (MR) with a low 1.56kΩ internal pullup resistor - significantly lower than earlier family members - enabling robust noise immunity in noisy environments without external components. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports mixed-voltage system interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 1.58V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C) - ensures deterministic reset initiation during low-voltage brownout conditions |
| VCC Operating Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports operation down to near-dead-battery levels while maintaining valid reset logic |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1120ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping power supplies or complex μP initialization sequences |
| Manual Reset Timeout | 140ms (min) - enables fast, user-triggered recovery without interfering with main power-up timing |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - minimizes quiescent drain in always-on battery backup circuits |
| MR Pullup Resistance | 1.56kΩ - delivers strong internal bias for noise-immune manual reset detection without external components |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting across different I/O voltage domains |
Pinout & Package
MAX6390XS16D4+ is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4+1), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, suitable for high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail; powers internal circuitry and serves as reference for reset threshold detection |
| 2 | RESET (open-drain) | Active-low reset output requiring external pullup; asserts low during VCC undervoltage or MR activation and holds for respective timeout period |
| 3 | MR (manual reset) | Active-low input with 1.56kΩ internal pullup to VCC; pulling low forces immediate reset assertion independent of VCC level |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for stable comparator operation and noise rejection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent timeout periods | 1120ms VCC reset timeout + 140ms manual reset timeout - decouples power-up reliability from user-initiated recovery timing |
| Low-threshold precision supervision | 1.58V reset threshold with ±2.5% accuracy over full industrial temperature range - enables use with ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers and SoCs |
| Noise-immune manual reset | 1.56kΩ internal MR pullup - eliminates need for external pullup and improves immunity to EMI-induced false triggers |
| Valid reset down to VCC = 1V | Guaranteed correct logic state on RESET pin even as supply collapses - prevents spurious release during deep brownout |
| Negative-going transient rejection | Immunity to sub-µs VCC glitches below threshold - avoids false resets caused by switching noise or load transients |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Battery-Powered IoT Edge Nodes |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Wearable glucose monitor operating from single-cell Li-ion battery with dynamic voltage sag during RF transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises core supply rail and asserts reset if voltage drops below 1.58V during discharge or pulse load; MR enables field-service recalibration via button press.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 5V rail with 1.58V threshold (scaled via external divider if needed) and provides AEC-Q100-compliant reset signaling; MR supports diagnostic mode entry. Use Value: Meets automotive reset timing requirements (1120ms hold) while supporting service diagnostics via dedicated manual reset path. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR16D4+T | Same 1.58V threshold and 1120ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output and no MR input | Lacks manual reset capability; suited for fixed-supply systems where operator intervention is unnecessary | Select when board-level reset control suffices and open-drain flexibility is not required |
| TPS3808G16DBVR | 1.6V threshold (±0.5%), 1200ms timeout, push-pull active-low, 1.8–6V operation, 1.1μA typical ICC | Higher accuracy and lower current, but no MR input and incompatible pinout | Choose for ultra-low-power applications needing tighter threshold tolerance, accepting redesign for MR omission |
Compared with MAX6326XR16D4+T and TPS3808G16DBVR, the MAX6390XS16D4+ uniquely combines open-drain output, integrated MR with low-resistance pullup, and dual-timing architecture - making it optimal for compact, user-serviceable, mixed-voltage embedded systems where layout space and functional completeness are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6390XS16D4+?
The MAX6390XS16D4+ has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 1.58V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet (suffix '16') and applies specifically to the MAX6390XS16D4+ variant, not the broader MAX6390 family.
Does the MAX6390XS16D4+ support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6390XS16D4+ includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) with a 1.56kΩ internal pullup resistor to VCC. Driving MR low forces immediate reset assertion, which remains active for 140ms (min) after MR is released. This feature is explicitly documented for MAX6390 in the General Description and Pin Description sections.
What is the purpose of the open-drain RESET output on the MAX6390XS16D4+?
The open-drain RESET output on the MAX6390XS16D4+ enables wired-OR connection with other reset sources and supports level translation across different voltage domains (e.g., interfacing a 1.8V MCU with a 3.3V peripheral). It requires an external pullup resistor and is specified to sink 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V with VOL ≤ 0.4V - a design feature unique to the MAX6383/MAX6386/MAX6389/MAX6390 variants.
Can the MAX6390XS16D4+ operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX6390XS16D4+ guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, and operates across a full VCC range of +1.0V to +5.5V. Its 3μA supply current at +1.8V and validated performance at 1V make it suitable for deeply discharged battery scenarios where other supervisors may fail to assert reset correctly.
Is the MAX6390XS16D4+ pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs like the MAX809?
Yes, the MAX6390XS16D4+ is pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810/MAX803 and other listed predecessors per the datasheet's "Pin Compatible with" statement. However, due to its 4-pin SC70 package and inclusion of MR, direct replacement requires verification that the target board implements MR connectivity and accommodates the open-drain output topology - unlike the push-pull outputs of MAX809-series parts.
