Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS20D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.0V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 20ms 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 MAX6388XS20D2-T datasheet, MAX6388XS20D2-T pinout, MAX6388XS20D2-T application, or MAX6388XS20D2-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.0V VTH, 20ms tRP, 4-pin SC70 package, RESET IN compatibility with external resistor dividers, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS20D2-T integrates a precision voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a 2.0V factory-trimmed threshold and a separate auxiliary comparator referenced to +1.27V at RESET IN. Its internal timer asserts RESET for ≥20ms after VCC or RESET IN recovers above their respective thresholds.
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-state validity down to VCC = 1V. The RESET IN input draws ≤50nA leakage and supports user-defined thresholds via external resistive dividers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.00V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures stable brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Reset Timeout Period | 20ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for μP initialization before release |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports single-supply operation in ultra-low-voltage and mixed-rail systems |
| Supply Current | 3μA at 1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and simplifies interface to μP reset input |
| Auxiliary Input | RESET IN with 1.27V reference - allows independent monitoring of second supply (e.g., I/O rail) using external resistor divider |
| Reset Assertion Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS20D2-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input and monitored voltage source - powers internal circuitry and sets main reset threshold |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives high during reset assertion; no external pullup required |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input - compared to internal 1.27V reference; enables dual-supply supervision via external resistor divider |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply monitoring capability | Simultaneous VCC and RESET IN supervision with independent thresholds - supports core/I/O rail coordination in SoC systems |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Rejects short-duration glitches (e.g., <1µs at 100mV overdrive) - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Low-power operation | 3μA supply current at 1.8V - reduces quiescent load on battery or energy-harvesting sources |
| Factory-trimmed accuracy | ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration |
| Guaranteed reset state at low VCC | Valid logic levels maintained down to VCC = 1V - ensures fail-safe behavior during deep undervoltage conditions |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Power Monitoring | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT20D2-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN (1.5mm × 1.5mm) instead of 4-pin SC70 - higher thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Preferred for thermally demanding layouts where µDFN solder joint reliability outweighs size constraints | Select when board assembly uses µDFN reflow profile and thermal management prioritizes package robustness over footprint area |
| MAX6385XS20D2-T | Identical 4-pin SC70 package and 2.0V/20ms specs, but includes manual reset input (MR) - adds 100kΩ internal pullup and MR-to-RESET delay of 200ns | Required where field-serviceable hardware reset button or test-mode forced reset is mandated | Choose when system design requires operator-initiated reset capability without adding external switch debouncing circuitry |
Compared with MAX6388XS20D2-T, the LT20D2-T variant trades smaller footprint for higher thermal resistance, while the XS20D2-T (MAX6385) adds MR functionality at identical reset timing - making MAX6388XS20D2-T optimal for space-limited dual-rail supervision without manual reset needs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6388XS20D2-T?
The MAX6388XS20D2-T has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.00V with ±2.5% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is specified in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet and confirmed by electrical characterization at TA = +25°C and across temperature extremes. The MAX6388XS20D2-T maintains this accuracy without external calibration components.
Does MAX6388XS20D2-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail?
Yes, the MAX6388XS20D2-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 reset threshold for a second supply rail. This feature is explicitly documented in the Pin Description and Applications Information sections for MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 variants.
What is the minimum reset timeout period for MAX6388XS20D2-T?
The MAX6388XS20D2-T provides a minimum reset timeout period of 20ms, as indicated by the "D2" suffix in its part number. This value is guaranteed across the full temperature range and supply voltage (1.0V to 5.5V) per the Electrical Characteristics table. The timeout begins when VCC or RESET IN rises above their respective thresholds and ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization.
Is MAX6388XS20D2-T compatible with standard SC70 footprints?
Yes, the MAX6388XS20D2-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187) with 0.65mm pin pitch. Its mechanical dimensions (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm) and pad layout match industry-standard SC70-4 footprints, enabling direct placement on boards designed for compatible devices like MAX6384XSxxDx-T or MAX6385XSxxDx-T without layout modification.
What is the supply current consumption of MAX6388XS20D2-T at 1.8V?
The MAX6388XS20D2-T consumes 3μA typical supply current at VCC = 1.8V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Supply Current". This ultra-low quiescent current is measured with no load and supports multi-year operation in battery-powered applications such as portable medical sensors and wireless IoT endpoints.
