Product details
Overview
The MAX6390XS46D4-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), 1120ms VCC reset timeout, and 140ms manual reset timeout. It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered or embedded systems where brownout immunity and guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6390XS46D4-T datasheet, MAX6390XS46D4-T pinout, MAX6390XS46D4-T application, or MAX6390XS46D4-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-timing reset architecture (VCC vs. MR timeout), SC70-4 package footprint, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over automotive temperature range, and compatibility with legacy MAX809/MAX6326 families.
Technical Context
The MAX6390XS46D4-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 60ppm/°C tempco and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V. Its internal timer enforces distinct timeout periods: 1120ms minimum after VCC recovery and 140ms minimum after manual reset release.
It features an internal 1.56kΩ pullup on the MR input-significantly lower than standard 63kΩ variants-enabling faster MR release timing and improved noise immunity in high-impedance environments. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports sink currents up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V nominal, ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable detection of 4.5V–4.75V supply rails in automotive and industrial applications |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1120ms minimum - holds μP in reset long enough for power stabilization after brownout recovery |
| Manual Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum - provides fast, deterministic reset initiation without interfering with system boot timing |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and portable devices |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| MR Pullup Resistance | 1.56kΩ - reduces MR release time constant for robust debouncing without external components |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration with multiple supervisors or level translation via external pullup |
Pinout & Package
MAX6390XS46D4-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.
| 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 resistor; sinks up to 3.2mA when asserted |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with internal 1.56kΩ pullup to VCC; initiates reset when pulled ≤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 |
|---|---|
| Dual independent timeout periods | 1120ms VCC recovery timeout + 140ms MR release timeout - decouples power-up stabilization from user-initiated reset timing |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.63V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates need for external resistor dividers in fixed-rail monitoring |
| Low-voltage operation guarantee | Valid RESET output state maintained down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic behavior during deep undervoltage events |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches <150µs wide at 100mV overdrive - suppresses false resets from switching noise or ESD coupling |
| Automotive-grade qualification | AEC-Q100 qualified (–40°C to +125°C) - certified for under-hood and infotainment applications requiring extended temperature reliability |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 5V system rail in programmable logic controllers exposed to wide ambient temperature swings and conducted transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting active-low reset to ARM Cortex-M7 MCU during brownout, with 1120ms hold time ensuring FPGA configuration stability. Use Value: Prevents corrupted firmware execution by guaranteeing reset remains asserted until 5V rail settles within ±2% for ≥1120ms post-recovery. | Use Scenario: Embedded in door module ECUs powered by vehicle battery (9V–16V) with local 5V LDO regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets microcontroller on ignition-on power ramp and during load-dump transients; MR pin tied to diagnostic test button. Use Value: 140ms MR timeout enables rapid field-service reset without disrupting CAN bus initialization sequence. |
| Portable Medical Sensor Hub | Smart Energy Meter |
Use Scenario: Powers ultra-low-power BLE sensor node operating from CR2032 coin cell with 3.0V nominal output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects voltage sag below 2.8V threshold (via external divider on RESET IN not used here); uses 4.63V variant only for 5V auxiliary rail monitoring. Use Value: 3μA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 5 years while maintaining fail-safe reset assertion during battery depletion. | Use Scenario: Monitors isolated 3.3V microcontroller supply in revenue-grade meter subjected to AC line surges and lightning-induced transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides immunity to 100µs negative VCC spikes common in metering environments; open-drain output interfaces with optocoupled reset tree. Use Value: 1.56kΩ MR pullup prevents floating input failure and ensures clean reset edge despite long PCB traces to front-panel button. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326XR46D4+T | Same 4.63V threshold and 1120ms timeout, but push-pull active-low output and 63kΩ MR pullup | Lacks MR timing differentiation; requires external debounce for noisy switch inputs | Select when board layout already uses push-pull topology and MR signal path is short and shielded |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.6µA ICC at 3.3V, SOT-23-5 package | Not pin-compatible; no MR input; lower quiescent current but narrower voltage range | Select for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only designs where MR functionality is unnecessary and footprint flexibility exists |
Compared with MAX6326XR46D4+T, the MAX6390XS46D4-T offers faster MR release timing and better noise immunity due to its 1.56kΩ pullup; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it supports higher voltage rails and dual-timing control but consumes slightly more current at 1.8V.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6390XS46D4-T?
The MAX6390XS46D4-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 datasheet, where suffix "46" corresponds to VTH(nom) = 4.63V, VTH(min) = 4.51V, and VTH(max) = 4.74V.
Does the MAX6390XS46D4-T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6390XS46D4-T includes a dedicated MR (manual reset) input pin with internal 1.56kΩ pullup to VCC. Driving MR low asserts reset; the device then maintains reset for a guaranteed minimum of 140ms after MR is released. This differs from earlier MAX638x variants that use 63kΩ pullups and longer MR timeouts.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6390XS46D4-T use?
The MAX6390XS46D4-T is supplied in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. Its land pattern is documented as 90-0187, and it is RoHS-compliant, indicated by the "+T" suffix in the part number.
How does the MAX6390XS46D4-T handle power supply transients?
The MAX6390XS46D4-T provides immunity to short-duration negative-going VCC transients: it will not assert reset for glitches shorter than ~150µs when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV, as shown in the Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Comparator Overdrive graph. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the VCC pin further enhances immunity.
Is the MAX6390XS46D4-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6390XS46D4-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use and operates across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. While the base part number does not include the "/V" suffix, its ordering information confirms qualification for automotive applications, and it is listed in the automotive-capable section of the Selector Guide.
