Product details
Overview
MAX6390XS17D4+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 1.67V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1120ms VCC reset timeout, and 140ms manual reset timeout. It monitors single-supply voltage in battery-powered embedded systems where reliable power-on reset and brownout protection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6390XS17D4+T datasheet, MAX6390XS17D4+T pinout, MAX6390XS17D4+T application, or MAX6390XS17D4+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.67V threshold accuracy, dual timeout timing (1120ms/140ms), 4-pin SC70 package, 3μA supply current at 1.8V, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6390XS17D4+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and a digital timeout counter triggered on threshold violation. Its internal 1.56kΩ MR pullup resistor enables direct pushbutton interfacing without external components.
Unlike earlier family members, MAX6390 features asymmetric reset timing: long VCC-initiated timeout (1120ms min) ensures stable core initialization, while short MR-initiated timeout (140ms min) supports rapid user-triggered recovery - both specified over full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 1.67V ±2.5% (–40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable detection of 1.8V supply brownout before system instability |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1120ms minimum; guarantees μP remains held in reset until power stabilizes after startup or dip |
| Manual Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum; enables fast, noise-immune operator-triggered reset without affecting main supply timing |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V; extends battery life in portable equipment with continuous supervision |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain active-low; allows wired-OR configuration and level translation across mixed-voltage systems |
| MR Pullup Resistance | 1.56kΩ internal; eliminates need for external pullup and supports direct connection to momentary switch |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; maintains valid reset state even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6390XS17D4+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, optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage rail; powers internal circuitry and feeds reset comparator |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pullup; asserts low during VCC or MR fault |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (1.56kΩ); initiates reset when driven ≤0.3×VCC |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be connected directly to system ground plane for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 1.67V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider and calibration effort for 1.8V I/O rail supervision |
| Asymmetric reset timing | 1120ms VCC timeout / 140ms MR timeout enables independent control of power-up stability vs. user recovery speed |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion during severe brownout, preventing undefined μP behavior |
| 3μA supply current at 1.8V | Reduces quiescent load on coin-cell or energy-harvesting sources by >50% versus legacy supervisors |
| 4-pin SC70 footprint | Minimizes PCB area vs. 6-pin μDFN while retaining full functionality and thermal performance (θJA = 322.6°C/W) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR17D4+T | Same 1.67V threshold and 1120ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output and no MR input | Lacks manual reset capability; requires external MR circuitry if user-initiated reset needed | Select when board layout prohibits external pullup or when MR functionality is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G17DBVR | 1.67V threshold, 1200ms timeout, 1.8V–6V operation, but 12μA ICC at 1.8V and 5-pin SOT-23 package | Higher supply current reduces battery life; larger footprint increases PCB cost in space-critical designs | Select only if automotive AEC-Q100 qualification is required (TPS3808G17DBVR is AEC-Q100 Grade 2) |
Compared with MAX6326XR17D4+T and TPS3808G17DBVR, MAX6390XS17D4+T uniquely combines integrated MR with low-leakage open-drain output and industry-leading 3μA supply current - making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive applications requiring both automatic and manual reset paths.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6390XS17D4+T and how accurate is it over temperature?
The MAX6390XS17D4+T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 1.67V, with ±2.5% accuracy guaranteed over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This value corresponds to the "17" suffix in the part number per Maxim's Reset Threshold table. The tolerance ensures reliable detection of 1.8V supply droop without false triggering during thermal cycling.
Does MAX6390XS17D4+T support manual reset, and what is its timing behavior?
Yes, MAX6390XS17D4+T includes an active-low manual reset (MR) input with an internal 1.56kΩ pullup resistor. When MR is pulled low, the device asserts reset for a guaranteed minimum of 140ms after MR is released (D4 timing). This shorter timeout enables rapid user-triggered recovery distinct from the 1120ms VCC-initiated reset period.
What package type and pin count does MAX6390XS17D4+T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6390XS17D4+T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant. This compact footprint supports high-density layouts in portable and wearable electronics without sacrificing thermal performance (θJA = 322.6°C/W).
How does the open-drain RESET output of MAX6390XS17D4+T function, and what external component is required?
The RESET output of MAX6390XS17D4+T is open-drain active-low, requiring an external pullup resistor to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). This enables level-shifting and wired-OR connectivity. Typical pullup values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ; the device guarantees VOL ≤0.3V at ISINK = 80µA when VCC ≥1.0V, ensuring solid low-state drive.
What is the supply current of MAX6390XS17D4+T at 1.8V, and how does it compare to similar supervisors?
MAX6390XS17D4+T draws only 3μA of supply current at +1.8V (typical), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This is among the lowest in its class - approximately half the current of competing devices like TPS3808G17DBVR (12μA at 1.8V) - directly extending battery runtime in always-on portable applications.
