Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS16D4-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, 1.58V factory-set VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1120ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for monitoring a second voltage rail. It consumes only 3μA at +1.8V and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V, used in battery-powered instrumentation and dual-rail embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS16D4-T datasheet, MAX6388XS16D4-T pinout, MAX6388XS16D4-T application, or MAX6388XS16D4-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SC70 package, +1.58V reset threshold accuracy, 1120ms VCC timeout, auxiliary voltage monitoring capability, and compatibility with systems requiring guaranteed reset assertion during brownout and power-down transitions.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS16D4-T integrates two independent voltage comparators: one monitors VCC against a precision +1.58V internal reference, the other compares an external voltage applied to RESET IN against a +1.27V internal reference. Reset asserts when either comparator trips, and remains asserted for 1120ms after recovery.
It features an active-high push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC) and sinking 3.2mA (VOL ≤ 0.4V), with guaranteed logic-level validity down to VCC = 1V. The device operates across -40°C to +125°C and supports negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG patch continuously monitors battery voltage and analog front-end supply while operating on CR2032 coin cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6388XS16D4-T supervises both 1.8V sensor rail and 3.3V BLE radio rail, asserting RESET if either drops below threshold. Use Value: 3μA quiescent current extends operational life beyond 2 years; 1120ms timeout ensures complete firmware reload after brownout. |
Use Scenario: BCM microcontroller requires fail-safe reset during cold-cranking when battery dips to 6V for 100ms. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6388XS16D4-T monitors 5V MCU supply and 12V lighting driver rail via RESET IN divider, triggering reset on either fault. Use Value: -40°C to +125°C operation and ±2.5% threshold stability ensure reliable reset assertion across full automotive temperature range. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Dual-Rail FPGA Configuration Systems |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted I/O module uses isolated 3.3V logic and 24V field-side supplies, requiring coordinated reset on either rail failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6388XS16D4-T monitors 3.3V VCC and derives 24V rail threshold via 10:1 resistor divider on RESET IN. Use Value: Active-high push-pull output directly interfaces with FPGA PROG_B pin without level-shifting; 1120ms timeout accommodates slow 24V rail ramp-up. |
Use Scenario: FPGA-based test equipment powers core (1.0V) and I/O (3.3V) rails from separate regulators; both must stabilize before configuration begins. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6388XS16D4-T supervises 3.3V I/O rail (VCC) and 1.0V core rail (via RESET IN divider), holding FPGA in reset until both are valid. Use Value: Dual-threshold detection prevents premature configuration; guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V ensures safe release even during marginal 1.0V rail conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT16D4-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (L611+1) instead of 4-pin SC70; higher thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Better suited for thermally dense PCB layouts where μDFN's exposed pad improves heat dissipation | Select MAX6388LT16D4-T when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal management prioritizes junction-to-board conduction |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | TI part with 1.5V reset threshold, 1200ms timeout, and open-drain output; lacks RESET IN input; 1.6μA typical ICC at 1.8V | Requires external pullup resistor; cannot monitor secondary rail; lower quiescent current but no dual-monitoring capability | Choose TPS3808G15DBVR only for single-rail applications where ultra-low ICC outweighs loss of auxiliary monitoring |
Compared with MAX6388XS16D4-T, the μDFN variant offers better thermal performance in high-density assemblies, while the TPS3808G15DBVR trades dual-rail supervision for marginally lower power and open-drain flexibility-neither is pin-compatible, and both require PCB layout changes.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS16D4-T?
The MAX6388XS16D4-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of +1.58V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is fixed and non-adjustable; the "16" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the 1.58V threshold per Maxim's Reset Threshold table.
Does MAX6388XS16D4-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail?
Yes, MAX6388XS16D4-T includes a dedicated RESET IN pin that compares an external voltage to an internal +1.27V reference. By connecting a resistor divider to RESET IN, users can configure a custom threshold for monitoring a second supply rail-such as a 5V or 12V source-alongside the primary VCC rail.
What is the reset timeout duration for MAX6388XS16D4-T?
The MAX6388XS16D4-T provides a minimum VCC reset timeout period of 1120ms, as indicated by the "D4" suffix in the part number. This timeout begins when VCC rises above the 1.58V threshold and ensures the reset signal remains asserted long enough for complete microprocessor initialization.
What package type and pin count does MAX6388XS16D4-T use?
MAX6388XS16D4-T is supplied in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), with pin 1 = VCC, pin 2 = RESET, pin 3 = GND, and pin 4 = RESET IN. This compact 2.0mm × 2.1mm footprint is RoHS-compliant and optimized for space-constrained portable electronics.
Is MAX6388XS16D4-T qualified for automotive applications?
MAX6388XS16D4-T is not explicitly marked with the "/V" automotive qualification suffix in its ordering code, and the datasheet does not list it in the /V trim versions table. While it operates across -40°C to +125°C, formal AEC-Q100 qualification applies only to designated /V variants such as MAX6388XS16D4/V+T.
