Product details
Overview
MAX6839XSD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull, active-high microprocessor reset circuit in SC70-4 package, designed to monitor adjustable reset thresholds via RESET-IN pin with 444mV internal reference, 210ms reset timeout, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 0.75V. It supports low-voltage systems (1.1V–3.3V VCC) and delivers 7.5µA typical supply current for battery-powered applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6839XSD3+T datasheet, MAX6839XSD3+T pinout, MAX6839XSD3+T application, or MAX6839XSD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its RESET-IN adjustability, active-high push-pull output, 210ms timeout, ±3.0% threshold accuracy over temperature, and immunity to short VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6839XSD3+T uses an internal 444mV precision reference to compare externally divided monitored voltage at RESET-IN; reset asserts when RESET-IN falls below this threshold. Its push-pull active-high RESET output drives high during fault conditions and remains asserted for exactly 210ms after RESET-IN recovers.
VCC must be ≥1.1V to guarantee RESET-IN threshold accuracy; the device draws only 7.5µA at 1.8V and maintains valid reset assertion down to VCC = 0.75V. It features no internal MR input-RESET-IN serves as the sole trigger source, eliminating manual reset circuitry.

Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial IoT Edge Nodes |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG sensor continuously monitors battery voltage and asserts reset if supply drops below safe operating level during wireless transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor triggering controlled shutdown before data corruption occurs; 210ms timeout aligns with BLE stack recovery window. Use Value: Prevents firmware lockup by ensuring µC resets cleanly before brownout-induced memory corruption. |
Use Scenario: Remote vibration monitor powered by energy-harvesting circuitry experiences intermittent low-VCC events due to variable ambient light. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Adjustable-threshold supervisor using RESET-IN to track harvested rail; 444mV reference enables accurate 1.2V trip with minimal divider current. Use Value: Enables reliable wake-up/reset coordination without external ADC or comparator, reducing BOM count and power overhead. |
| Battery-Powered Smart Meters | Low-Voltage FPGA Configuration Circuits |
|
Use Scenario: AMI meter operates from Li-SOCl₂ primary cell; voltage decays slowly over 15 years, requiring precise end-of-life detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisor configured for 1.1V trip via RESET-IN divider; 210ms reset pulse initiates graceful firmware save before power loss. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete voltage reference and comparator, cutting cost while improving long-term threshold drift performance. |
Use Scenario: FPGA configuration flash requires stable 1.2V core supply; supervisor monitors VCC rail and holds FPGA in reset until rail stabilizes post-power-up. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-high push-pull RESET directly interfaces FPGA's active-high PROG_B or INIT_B pin without level translation. Use Value: Guarantees FPGA remains held in reset until VCC exceeds 0.75V and stays above trip point for full 210ms, preventing partial configuration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6836XSD3+T | Push-pull active-high output, but triggered by VCC (not RESET-IN); fixed factory-set threshold (e.g., 1.575V). | Suitable for direct VCC monitoring only; lacks external adjustability and requires matching supply voltage to threshold suffix. | Select when monitoring native VCC rail without divider network; avoid when custom trip point or sub-1.2V monitoring is needed. |
| TLV809KDBZR | Active-high push-pull reset IC with 200ms timeout and 1.63V fixed threshold; 3-pin SOT-23 package; 1.5µA supply current. | No RESET-IN pin; no adjustable threshold; lower supply current but limited to higher-voltage rails (≥1.63V). | Choose for ultra-low-power, fixed-threshold applications where board space permits SOT-23 and trip point matches system VCC. |
Compared with MAX6839XSD3+T, MAX6836XSD3+T offers simpler VCC-only supervision but forfeits external adjustability, while TLV809KDBZR reduces quiescent current significantly but restricts use to ≥1.63V supplies and eliminates threshold customization-making MAX6839XSD3+T uniquely suited for precision low-voltage monitoring with design flexibility.

FAQ
What is the function of the RESET-IN pin on the MAX6839XSD3+T?
The RESET-IN pin on the MAX6839XSD3+T serves as the input to the internal reset comparator, referenced to a precise 444mV internal voltage. When an external resistive divider applies a voltage below this threshold to RESET-IN, the device asserts its active-high RESET output for 210ms. This architecture allows the MAX6839XSD3+T to monitor any supply rail-including those below 1.1V-as long as VCC itself remains within 1.1V–3.3V.
Does the MAX6839XSD3+T have a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the MAX6839XSD3+T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. Unlike MAX6835/MAX6836/MAX6837 variants, the MAX6839XSD3+T relies exclusively on the RESET-IN pin for reset initiation. Its pinout consists of RESET-IN, VCC, GND, and RESET only-eliminating MR functionality to simplify design where external reset triggering is unnecessary.
What is the minimum VCC required for guaranteed RESET-IN threshold accuracy in the MAX6839XSD3+T?
The MAX6839XSD3+T requires VCC ≥ 1.1V to guarantee RESET-IN threshold accuracy within ±3.0% over temperature. Below 1.1V, the internal 444mV reference may deviate beyond specification, compromising trip-point reliability. However, the device continues to operate and assert RESET as long as VCC remains ≥ 0.75V, ensuring functional reset validity deeper into brownout conditions.
Can the MAX6839XSD3+T be used to monitor a 0.8V supply rail?
Yes, the MAX6839XSD3+T can monitor a 0.8V rail using an external resistive divider on RESET-IN. For example, setting R1 = 100kΩ and R2 = 55.6kΩ yields a trip point of 0.8V (0.8V × 444mV/0.8V ≈ 444mV at RESET-IN). The key constraint is that VCC must remain ≥1.1V to maintain reference accuracy; the monitored rail itself may be as low as ~0.44V depending on divider ratio.
What is the purpose of the +T suffix in MAX6839XSD3+T?
Within Maxim Integrated's ordering nomenclature, the +T suffix in MAX6839XSD3+T indicates lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging in tape-and-reel format. The "+" denotes compliance with environmental regulations, while "T" specifies tape-and-reel delivery-standard for all MAX6832–MAX6840 devices. This variant replaces legacy -T (leaded) versions and is fully compatible in footprint and electrical behavior.
