Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS18D1-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 1.8V reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 1ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring. It consumes only 3μA at 1.8V and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V - used in battery-powered instrumentation and embedded controllers requiring precise brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS18D1-T datasheet, MAX6388XS18D1-T pinout, MAX6388XS18D1-T application, or MAX6388XS18D1-T equivalent, key selection factors include its 1.8V threshold accuracy, 1ms timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and AEC-Q100-qualified automotive variants.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS18D1-T integrates a precision voltage comparator referenced to an internal 1.27V bandgap for the auxiliary RESET IN input, enabling user-configurable second-supply monitoring via external resistor divider. Its primary VCC reset comparator features ±2.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco.
It employs a monolithic BiCMOS process and delivers guaranteed reset assertion during power-up, power-down, and brownout events - with immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs (at 100mV overdrive) and glitch rejection on MR input exceeding 100ns.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS18D1-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS18D1-T has a nominal reset threshold of 1.80V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Its tempco is 60ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is less than 18mV across the entire range. This stability is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3 of the datasheet) and validated by typical operating curves showing normalized threshold variation < ±0.5% from –40°C to +125°C.
Does MAX6388XS18D1-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6388XS18D1-T supports dual-rail monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin (Pin 3), which connects to an internal comparator referenced to a precise 1.27V bandgap. To monitor a second voltage (e.g., 3.3V I/O rail), connect RESET IN to the center node of an external resistor divider - the threshold is set by VTH = 1.27V × (R1/R2 + 1). The datasheet provides design equations and Figure 1 illustrates this configuration.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6388XS18D1-T, and what are its drive capabilities?
The RESET output on MAX6388XS18D1-T is an active-high push-pull driver. It asserts high when VCC or RESET IN falls below their respective thresholds and remains high for the full 1ms timeout period after recovery. It can sink 80μA at VCC ≥ 1.0V with VOL ≤ 0.3V and source 150μA at VCC ≥ 1.8V with VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC - enabling direct interface to most microprocessor reset inputs without external components.
Is MAX6388XS18D1-T qualified for automotive applications, and what evidence supports this?
Yes, MAX6388XS18D1-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. The datasheet explicitly states "AEC-Q100 Qualified" in the Features section (page 1), and the Ordering Information table (page 8) lists /V suffix variants (e.g., MAX6388XS18D1/V+T) with identical electrical specs and –40°C to +125°C operation - confirming qualification for under-hood and body electronics applications.
How does MAX6388XS18D1-T handle power supply transients, and what is its immunity specification?
MAX6388XS18D1-T provides immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs duration when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV, as shown in Figure 7 ("Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Comparator Overdrive"). This prevents false resets caused by short spikes or noise. Adding a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pin further enhances immunity - a recommendation made in the Applications Information section (page 7).
