Overview
MAX6388XS17D1-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 1.67V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, targeting power-critical embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS17D1-T datasheet, MAX6388XS17D1-T pinout, MAX6388XS17D1-T application, or MAX6388XS17D1-T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional context for dual-supply monitoring, and validated alternative options - all confirmed against Maxim's official documentation and ordering guide.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS17D1-T integrates a precision voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and a separate high-impedance RESET IN comparator referenced to +1.27V, enabling independent supervision of a second rail via external resistor divider. Its reset assertion logic triggers on either VCC falling below 1.67V or RESET IN dropping below 1.27V.
It features an active-high push-pull RESET output guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1V, no manual reset input (MR), and supports stable operation across -40°C to +125°C. The device uses BiCMOS process technology and is RoHS-compliant in its SC70-4 package.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387XS17D1-T | Identical threshold (1.67V), timeout (140ms), and package, but features open-drain active-low RESET output | Requires external pullup resistor; incompatible with μP reset pins expecting active-high assertion | Select MAX6387XS17D1-T only if system design mandates open-drain reset signaling or level translation |
| TLV803EB16DBVR | 1.6V threshold (±1%), 140ms timeout, SOT-23-3 package; no RESET IN input; 0.5μA supply current at 1.8V | Lacks dual-supply monitoring capability; smaller footprint but single-rail only | Choose TLV803EB16DBVR for space-constrained, single-rail applications where ultra-low current outweighs auxiliary monitoring need |
Compared with MAX6387XS17D1-T, the MAX6388XS17D1-T provides direct active-high drive eliminating pullup components; versus TLV803EB16DBVR, it adds critical dual-rail supervision at modest current cost - making it optimal for systems requiring coordinated reset across core and I/O domains.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS17D1-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS17D1-T has a factory-set nominal VCC reset threshold of 1.67V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% across the full operating range of -40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed internal references and BiCMOS process matching, ensuring consistent brownout detection without external calibration. The MAX6388XS17D1-T maintains this accuracy even under rapid thermal transients common in automotive under-hood environments.
Does MAX6388XS17D1-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6388XS17D1-T includes a dedicated RESET IN input that compares an external voltage to an internal +1.27V reference. To monitor a second rail, connect a resistor divider between that rail and GND, with the midpoint fed to RESET IN. For example, to supervise a 3.3V rail at 2.5V threshold, use R1 = 182kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ. The MAX6388XS17D1-T's ±50nA input leakage ensures minimal error from divider current.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6388XS17D1-T, and what are its drive capabilities?
The RESET output of the MAX6388XS17D1-T is an active-high push-pull driver, meaning it actively drives high during reset assertion and low during deassertion - no external pullup required. It sources up to 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.5V and sinks up to 3.2mA, compatible with standard CMOS μP reset inputs. The MAX6388XS17D1-T guarantees correct logic state down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout.
Is MAX6388XS17D1-T suitable for automotive applications, and what qualification does it hold?
The MAX6388XS17D1-T itself is not automotive-qualified; however, the identical functionality is available in automotive-grade variants denoted by "/V" suffix (e.g., MAX6388XS17D1/V+T), which are AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C). These /V versions undergo additional stress testing and lot traceability per automotive standards. For non-automotive industrial use, the standard MAX6388XS17D1-T meets full specification including temperature range and reliability metrics.
How does the 140ms reset timeout of MAX6388XS17D1-T impact system startup timing?
The 140ms minimum reset timeout ensures the MAX6388XS17D1-T holds its active-high RESET signal for at least 140ms after VCC rises above 1.67V, providing ample time for power supplies, clocks, and memory to stabilize before releasing the microprocessor from reset. This duration aligns with typical FPGA configuration times and DDR initialization sequences. The MAX6388XS17D1-T timeout is monotonic across temperature, varying less than ±5% from -40°C to +125°C per characterization data.
