Product details
Overview
MAX6392KA29+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with sequenced reset outputs, monitoring VCC (2.93V factory-fixed threshold) and an adjustable secondary supply (RESET IN2), delivering time-ordered active-low RESET1 (push-pull) and RESET2 (open-drain) for multi-rail power sequencing in embedded systems. It guarantees valid reset operation down to VCC = 1.0V, features 15µA typical supply current, and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6392KA29+ datasheet, MAX6392KA29+ pinout, MAX6392KA29+ application, or MAX6392KA29+ equivalent, this device supports critical timing-critical power-up/down sequencing in servers, industrial controllers, and multivoltage µP systems where deterministic reset ordering between master and slave rails is required.
Technical Context
The MAX6392KA29+ implements two independent voltage-monitoring comparators: one fixed at 2.93V on VCC (master reset source), and one referenced to 625mV on RESET IN2 (adjustable via external resistor divider). RESET1 asserts only on VCC undervoltage and deasserts after a fixed 140ms minimum timeout; RESET2 asserts if either VCC or RESET IN2 falls below threshold and deasserts after either 140ms (CSRT tied to VCC) or a capacitor-adjustable delay.
It integrates an active-low manual reset (MR) input with 47kΩ internal pullup, triggering synchronized assertion of both RESET1 and RESET2 within 10µs (MR→RESET1) and 100ns (MR→RESET2), with skew ≤10µs. The device uses BiCMOS process (810 transistors), supports VCC from 1.2V to 5.5V, and maintains reset validity down to 1.0V - enabling reliable brownout detection in low-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.85V (min) to 3.00V (max); factory-trimmed 2.93V nominal ensures precise 3.3V rail supervision without external calibration. |
| RESET IN2 Threshold | 610mV–640mV; internal 625mV reference enables monitoring of supplies as low as 625mV using external resistive divider. |
| RESET1 Timeout | 140ms (min) to 280ms (max); fixed internal timer guarantees minimum reset hold time for safe µP initialization. |
| RESET2 Timeout | 140ms (min) fixed when CSRT = VCC; user-adjustable (e.g., 3.1ms with 1500pF) when CSRT = capacitor to ground. |
| Supply Current | 15µA typical at +25°C; ultra-low quiescent current minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Reset Valid Down To | VCC = 1.0V; ensures functional reset assertion during deep brownout conditions before system collapse. |
| MR Input Pulse Width | 50µs minimum; supports clean manual reset initiation even with short push-button actuations or noisy control lines. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6392KA29+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (3.00mm × 1.75mm × 1.30mm body, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and available in lead-free (+T) variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET IN2 | Secondary supply monitor input | High-impedance comparator input referenced to 625mV; connects to external resistor divider to set custom reset threshold for slave rail. |
| 2 - VCC | Main supply & master monitor input | Power supply pin and primary reset trigger; asserts both resets when falling below 2.93V; powers internal circuitry. |
| 3 - CSRT | RESET2 timeout configuration node | Connect to VCC for fixed 140ms RESET2 delay; connect to capacitor-to-ground for user-adjustable delay (e.g., 1500pF → 3.1ms). |
| 4 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 5 - RESET2 | Secondary reset output | Active-low open-drain output; asserted when VCC < 2.93V OR RESET IN2 < 625mV; deasserts after RESET1 and timeout period. |
| 6 - R2 | Internal pullup connection for RESET2 | 47kΩ internal resistor tied to RESET2; connect to external VOH (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) to set high-level voltage independently of VCC. |
| 7 - RESET1 | Primary reset output | Active-low push-pull output (MAX6392-specific); provides full rail-to-rail drive without external pullup; deasserts first during power-up. |
| 8 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with 47kΩ internal pullup to VCC; forces synchronous assertion of RESET1 and RESET2; no external components needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitors | Simultaneous supervision of master (VCC @ 2.93V) and slave (RESET IN2 @ 625mV ref) rails enables true two-rail sequencing without external comparators. |
| Sequenced reset timing | Guaranteed RESET1 deassertion before RESET2 during power-up (tRP1 < tRP2), and RESET2 assertion before RESET1 during power-down (tRD2 < tRD1). |
| Flexible RESET2 timeout | Selectable fixed (140ms min) or capacitor-adjustable (down to ~3ms) delay allows optimization for fast-boot or fail-safe timing requirements. |
| Low-power operation | 15µA typical ICC enables integration into always-on monitoring paths without compromising system energy budget. |
| Brownout resilience | Valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V ensures reliable operation during gradual voltage collapse, not just hard dropout. |

FAQ
What is the factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6392KA29+?
The MAX6392KA29+ has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.93V nominal, with a guaranteed range of 2.85V (min) to 3.00V (max) over –40°C to +85°C. This precise threshold makes the MAX6392KA29+ ideal for supervising standard 3.3V rails without external calibration or trimming components.
Does MAX6392KA29+ support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6392KA29+ includes an active-low manual reset (MR) input on pin 8, with a built-in 47kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Pulling MR low synchronously asserts both RESET1 and RESET2; RESET1 responds within 10µs and RESET2 within 100ns. The MAX6392KA29+ does not require external pullup or debounce circuitry for MR operation.
How is the RESET2 timeout period configured on MAX6392KA29+?
The RESET2 timeout on MAX6392KA29+ is configured via the CSRT pin (pin 3): tie CSRT to VCC for a fixed 140ms (min) delay, or connect CSRT to a capacitor-to-ground (e.g., 1500pF yields ~3.1ms) for user-adjustable timing. The MAX6392KA29+ automatically detects the connection mode and selects the appropriate internal timing path.
Can MAX6392KA29+ monitor a 1.2V supply as the secondary rail?
Yes, the MAX6392KA29+ can monitor a 1.2V supply on RESET IN2 (pin 1) using an external resistor divider. With its internal 625mV reference, a 1.2V rail maps to a divider ratio of R3/R4 ≈ 0.92, allowing accurate threshold setting. The MAX6392KA29+ guarantees valid reset assertion even if VCC drops to 1.0V during the event.
What is the difference between MAX6392KA29+ and MAX6391KA29+?
The MAX6392KA29+ differs from MAX6391KA29+ in two key ways: it replaces the R1 pullup resistor (pin 8) with an active-low MR input, and changes RESET1 (pin 7) from open-drain to push-pull output. Thus, the MAX6392KA29+ provides manual reset capability and direct-drive reset signaling without external pullup, while MAX6391KA29+ offers dual open-drain outputs with configurable VOH.
