Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS20D3-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), 140ms minimum VCC 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 MAX6388XS20D3-T datasheet, MAX6388XS20D3-T pinout, MAX6388XS20D3-T application, or MAX6388XS20D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.0V reset threshold accuracy, 140ms timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS20D3-T integrates a precision voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a fixed 2.0V threshold and a separate auxiliary comparator referenced to +1.27V at the RESET IN pin. Its internal timer ensures reset remains asserted for ≥140ms after VCC recovers above threshold or after RESET IN rises above its set point.
It features an active-high push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing 150µA at 1.0V and sinking 80µA at 1.0V, with logic state guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1V. The RESET IN input draws ≤50nA, enabling high-impedance resistor-divider configuration for user-defined secondary voltage thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.00V ±2.5% (–40°C to +125°C); enables precise brownout detection for 2.0V core rails |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports ultra-low-voltage operation down to sub-1.2V logic domains |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum; ensures sufficient μP initialization time after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 3μA at 1.8V; minimizes battery drain in portable equipment |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull; eliminates need for external pullup and simplifies interface to μP reset inputs |
| Auxiliary Input | RESET IN pin with 1.27V reference; allows independent monitoring of second supply (e.g., I/O voltage) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS20D3-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 | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor; powers internal circuitry and sets reset condition when falling below 2.0V |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output; drives high during reset assertion, deasserts low after timeout completes |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to internal 1.27V reference; reset asserts if voltage falls below threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply monitoring | Simultaneous VCC (2.0V) and RESET IN (user-adjustable via resistor divider) supervision enables robust dual-rail systems |
| Low-power operation | 3μA supply current at 1.8V extends battery life in portable instrumentation and IoT edge nodes |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET output logic state remains valid down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout |
| Negative transient immunity | Immune to short-duration VCC glitches (e.g., <1µs at 100mV overdrive), reducing false resets in noisy environments |
| High-impedance RESET IN | ≤50nA input leakage allows use of MΩ-range resistors in voltage dividers without accuracy degradation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387XS20D3-T | Same 2.0V threshold and 140ms timeout, but open-drain active-low RESET output requiring external pullup | Suitable where system-level reset bus is shared with other open-drain devices (e.g., I²C-compatible reset networks) | Select MAX6387XS20D3-T only if active-low signaling and bus-wired reset topology are required |
| TLV809E20DBZR | 2.0V threshold, 140ms timeout, active-high push-pull, but no RESET IN input and higher 6μA ICC at 1.8V | Applicable in single-rail systems where auxiliary monitoring is unnecessary and slightly higher quiescent current is acceptable | Choose TLV809E20DBZR for cost-sensitive, single-supply applications without dual-monitoring needs |
Compared with MAX6387XS20D3-T, MAX6388XS20D3-T eliminates external pullup components and simplifies timing analysis with active-high drive; versus TLV809E20DBZR, it adds critical dual-supply fault coverage at lower quiescent current, justifying use in safety-critical dual-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6388XS20D3-T?
The MAX6388XS20D3-T has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.00V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This specification is guaranteed by design and applies to both VCC monitoring and the internal reference used for RESET IN comparison, ensuring consistent trip points across environmental conditions.
Does MAX6388XS20D3-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail?
Yes, MAX6388XS20D3-T includes a dedicated RESET IN pin referenced to an internal +1.27V comparator. By connecting an external resistor divider to this pin, users can configure a custom threshold for monitoring a second voltage rail-such as an I/O supply-while VCC monitors the core supply. Reset asserts if either voltage falls below its respective threshold.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6388XS20D3-T?
The RESET output of MAX6388XS20D3-T is an active-high push-pull driver. It asserts high when VCC drops below 2.0V or when the voltage at RESET IN falls below its configured threshold, and remains high for a minimum of 140ms after recovery. It deasserts low once the timeout expires, providing direct compatibility with microprocessors requiring active-high reset signals.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6388XS20D3-T use?
MAX6388XS20D3-T is packaged in a lead(Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098). Its footprint measures 2.0mm × 2.1mm with a maximum height of 0.95mm, and it uses land pattern 90-0187-optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and automotive electronics.
How much supply current does MAX6388XS20D3-T consume at low voltages?
MAX6388XS20D3-T consumes only 3μA of supply current at VCC = 1.8V and 6μA at VCC = 3.6V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low quiescent current is maintained across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range, making it ideal for always-on battery-powered applications where standby power budget is critical.
