Product details
Overview
MAX6390XS44D4-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low reset output, factory-set 4.27V (min) / 4.38V (nom) / 4.48V (max) VCC reset threshold, 1120ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and 140ms minimum 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 - used in battery-powered industrial controllers requiring reliable brownout detection and pushbutton-initiated reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6390XS44D4-T datasheet, MAX6390XS44D4-T pinout, MAX6390XS44D4-T application, or MAX6390XS44D4-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-timing reset architecture (VCC vs. MR timeout), 4-pin SC70 package footprint, ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and compatibility with systems requiring open-drain reset signaling with external pullup.
Technical Context
The MAX6390XS44D4-T implements a precision voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a factory-trimmed threshold, coupled with two independent timeout timers: one triggered by VCC falling below threshold (1120ms min), and another activated by manual reset assertion (140ms min). Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup resistor and remains valid down to VCC = 1V.
It features a dedicated active-low manual reset input (MR) with internal 500–1560Ω pullup (confirmed for MAX6390), enabling direct pushbutton interfacing without external components. Unlike variants with RESET IN, this part lacks auxiliary voltage monitoring - its supervision is strictly single-rail VCC-focused.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6390XS44D4-T?
The MAX6390XS44D4-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 4.27V (minimum), 4.38V (nominal), and 4.48V (maximum) at +25°C, with ±2.5% accuracy maintained over –40°C to +125°C. This corresponds to the "44" suffix in the part number per Maxim's Reset Threshold table, making it suitable for systems with 4.3V nominal supplies.
Does MAX6390XS44D4-T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6390XS44D4-T includes a dedicated active-low manual reset input (MR) on Pin 3. Driving MR low forces reset assertion; upon release, the internal timer holds RESET low for a guaranteed minimum of 140ms. An internal ~1.56kΩ pullup resistor to VCC eliminates the need for external biasing.
What is the reset timeout behavior of MAX6390XS44D4-T during power-up and manual reset?
The MAX6390XS44D4-T features two independent timeout periods: a 1120ms minimum reset timeout triggered when VCC rises above threshold (power-up/brownout recovery), and a 140ms minimum timeout triggered when the MR pin transitions from low to high (manual reset release). These are not interchangeable - each serves a distinct fault condition.
Is MAX6390XS44D4-T compatible with 1.8V logic systems?
Yes, the MAX6390XS44D4-T guarantees valid open-drain RESET output operation down to VCC = 1.0V and consumes only 3μA at +1.8V. Its RESET output can interface with 1.8V systems when paired with an appropriate external pullup resistor (e.g., to 1.8V rail), and MR accepts standard 1.8V logic-low levels.
What package type and pin count does MAX6390XS44D4-T use?
The MAX6390XS44D4-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), with Pin 1 = RESET (open-drain active-low), Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = MR (active-low manual reset), and Pin 4 = GND. It is RoHS-compliant (denoted by "+T" suffix) and measures 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm.
