Product details
Overview
MAX6390XS23D4-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 2.31V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 1120ms VCC reset timeout, and 140ms manual reset timeout. It monitors single-supply voltages from +1.8V to +5.0V and consumes only 3μA at +1.8V, enabling reliable power-up/brownout detection in battery-powered embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6390XS23D4-T datasheet, MAX6390XS23D4-T pinout, MAX6390XS23D4-T application, or MAX6390XS23D4-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.31V threshold accuracy, dual timeout timing (1120ms/140ms), SC70-4 package footprint, MR input with 1.56kΩ internal pullup, and guaranteed valid reset state down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6390XS23D4-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and a digital timeout counter triggered on threshold violation or MR assertion. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports wired-OR configurations in multi-rail systems.
Unlike earlier family members, MAX6390 features asymmetric timeout periods: a long 1120ms VCC reset hold time ensures full system stabilization after power recovery, while its short 140ms manual reset timeout enables rapid operator-initiated recovery without disrupting system timing budgets.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.31V (nominal), ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1120ms (min) - guarantees μP remains held in reset long enough for power rails and clocks to stabilize post-brownout |
| Manual Reset Timeout | 140ms (min) - enables fast, deterministic reset initiation via pushbutton without delaying system responsiveness |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and IoT edge nodes |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows level translation and shared reset bus implementation with other open-drain devices |
| MR Internal Pullup | 1.56kΩ - provides strong logic-high bias for noise immunity while permitting direct TTL/CMOS drive |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V logic domains |
Pinout & Package
MAX6390XS23D4-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, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main 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; sinks current when asserted; requires external pullup resistor for logic-high state |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC with 1.56kΩ; asserts reset when driven ≤0.3×VCC |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for stable comparator operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 2.31V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor networks and calibration effort for precise 2.3V rail monitoring |
| Asymmetric reset timeouts (1120ms VCC / 140ms MR) | Optimizes system reliability during power faults while preserving user interface responsiveness |
| Guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior even during severe undervoltage conditions before shutdown |
| 1.56kΩ MR internal pullup | Provides robust noise immunity against EMI in automotive and industrial environments without external components |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Rejects sub-10µs glitches up to 100mV below threshold, reducing false resets in electrically noisy systems |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR23D4+T | Same 2.31V threshold and 1120ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output and no MR input | Lacks manual reset capability; requires external pullup not needed for open-drain | Select when board-level reset control suffices and MR functionality is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.33V threshold, 1200ms timeout, 1.8–6V operation, but 12μA ICC at 3.3V and SOT-23-5 package | Higher supply current reduces battery life; extra pin adds routing complexity | Choose only if TI's qualification pedigree or wider voltage range outweighs power and size penalties |
Compared with MAX6326XR23D4+T, MAX6390XS23D4-T trades pin-compatible simplicity for essential MR functionality and lower quiescent current; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers 4× lower ICC and smaller SC70-4 footprint at the cost of slightly tighter voltage range and vendor-specific qualification.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6390XS23D4-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6390XS23D4-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.31V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% across the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved using laser-trimmed bandgap references and low-drift comparator design, ensuring consistent brownout detection in automotive and industrial environments without external calibration.
Does MAX6390XS23D4-T support manual reset, and what is the internal pullup value on the MR pin?
Yes, MAX6390XS23D4-T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input with an internal 1.56kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. This strong pullup ensures reliable logic-high bias and noise immunity, allowing direct connection to momentary switches or CMOS/TTL drivers without external components. The MR pin asserts reset when pulled low and holds reset for 140ms after release.
What are the reset timeout periods for MAX6390XS23D4-T, and why are they asymmetric?
MAX6390XS23D4-T provides two distinct timeout periods: 1120ms for VCC-initiated reset and 140ms for MR-initiated reset. This asymmetry ensures robust system recovery after power faults (long timeout) while enabling rapid, responsive user-triggered resets (short timeout), optimizing both reliability and usability in embedded applications.
Can MAX6390XS23D4-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, MAX6390XS23D4-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, and operates across a full range of +1.0V to +5.5V. Its internal circuitry remains functional during deep brownout, ensuring deterministic reset assertion even as the supply collapses - critical for preventing undefined microprocessor states in safety-critical systems.
What package type and footprint does MAX6390XS23D4-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6390XS23D4-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant. This compact, surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts in portable and automotive electronics without compromising thermal performance.
