Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS18D7-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), 1200ms minimum VCC 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 dual-rail embedded systems requiring precise brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS18D7-T datasheet, MAX6388XS18D7-T pinout, MAX6388XS18D7-T application, or MAX6388XS18D7-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8V reset threshold accuracy, 1200ms timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and guaranteed operation down to 1V supply.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS18D7-T integrates a precision voltage comparator referenced to an internal 1.27V bandgap, comparing both VCC and an external voltage applied to RESET IN against their respective thresholds. Reset assertion occurs if either falls below its threshold, with independent timing control governed by an internal RC timer.
Its auxiliary RESET IN input accepts externally scaled voltages via resistor divider (e.g., for core/I/O rail monitoring), while the active-high push-pull RESET output drives directly without external pullup. The device features negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive and operates across −40°C to +125°C.

Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG sensor powered by CR2032 coin cell with separate 1.8V MCU rail and 3.3V analog front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises both rails using VCC (1.8V) and RESET IN (scaled 3.3V), asserting reset if either drops below threshold. Use Value: Prevents corrupted ADC sampling or flash writes during brownout, leveraging 1200ms timeout to ensure full analog settling before MCU release. | Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted PLC module with isolated 5V logic and 24V field-side power, requiring coordinated reset on both domains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5V logic rail directly on VCC and 24V field rail via resistor divider on RESET IN. Use Value: Ensures deterministic startup sequence across isolation barrier; 1.8V threshold variant avoids false triggers from 5V rail ripple. |
| Battery-Powered IoT Edge Nodes | Dual-Voltage FPGA Configuration Circuits |
Use Scenario: LoRaWAN node with ultra-low-power MCU (1.8V) and RF transceiver (3.3V), operating from Li-SOCl₂ primary cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects end-of-life voltage collapse on main rail (VCC) and monitors backup supervisor rail (RESET IN). Use Value: 3μA quiescent current extends shelf life; 1200ms timeout accommodates slow capacitor discharge in energy-harvesting variants. | Use Scenario: FPGA-based vision processing board with 1.0V core, 1.8V I/O, and 3.3V configuration flash - all requiring synchronized reset release. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses VCC for 1.8V I/O rail and RESET IN for 3.3V flash supply; triggers global reset when either fails. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete comparators and timers; 4-pin SC70 saves PCB area versus dual discrete supervisors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT18D7-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) | Preferred for thermally demanding industrial environments where μDFN's better heat dissipation matters | Select when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal performance outweighs size constraints |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | TI part with 1.8V threshold, 1200ms timeout, but only single-supply monitoring (no RESET IN); 1.5μA typical ICC at 1.8V | Lacks auxiliary voltage monitoring - unsuitable for dual-rail coordination without added components | Choose only for single-rail systems where lowest possible current draw is critical and space permits SOT-23-5 |
Compared with MAX6388LT18D7-T, the MAX6388XS18D7-T offers superior board-area efficiency in compact portable designs; versus TPS3808G18DBVR, it provides essential dual-supply supervision without external circuitry - justifying its use where system-level reliability depends on coordinated multi-rail reset behavior.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS18D7-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS18D7-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 1.80V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved using a trimmed bandgap reference and on-die compensation circuitry. The MAX6388XS18D7-T maintains this tolerance without external calibration, making it suitable for unattended remote deployments where thermal cycling is unavoidable.
Does MAX6388XS18D7-T support monitoring of two independent power supplies?
Yes, the MAX6388XS18D7-T supports dual-supply monitoring: VCC is monitored directly for the primary rail (here 1.8V), and the RESET IN pin accepts an externally scaled voltage referenced to an internal 1.27V comparator. By connecting a resistor divider to RESET IN, users can configure supervision of a second rail - such as 3.3V or 5V - enabling coordinated reset assertion if either supply fails. This functionality is confirmed in the Pin Description and Applications Information sections of the official datasheet.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6388XS18D7-T and how does it behave during power failure?
The RESET output of the MAX6388XS18D7-T is an active-high push-pull driver. It asserts high whenever VCC falls below 1.80V or the voltage at RESET IN drops below its derived threshold, holding high for a guaranteed minimum of 1200ms after the monitored voltage(s) recover. Crucially, the MAX6388XS18D7-T guarantees correct logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring deterministic reset behavior even during severe brownout conditions before complete power loss.
Can MAX6388XS18D7-T operate from a 1.0V supply, and what happens to RESET output below 1.8V?
Yes, the MAX6388XS18D7-T operates from 1.0V to 5.5V and guarantees valid RESET output logic states down to VCC = 1.0V - meaning it continues asserting or deasserting correctly even as supply collapses. Below 1.8V, the internal comparator remains functional until VCC reaches ~1.0V; the RESET output stays asserted high during undervoltage and only releases after both the threshold is crossed *and* the 1200ms timeout expires. This behavior is explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET Output State Guaranteed Valid Down to VCC = 1V".
What package type and dimensions does MAX6388XS18D7-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The MAX6388XS18D7-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.3mm × 1.1mm × 0.6mm with gull-wing leads. The "+T" suffix confirms lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant construction. Its small footprint supports high-density layouts in portable and wearable electronics, and the package is qualified per JEDEC standards for reflow soldering at up to +260°C.
