Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS21D7-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.10V VCC 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 operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, enabling reliable power-up/brownout detection in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS21D7-T datasheet, MAX6388XS21D7-T pinout, MAX6388XS21D7-T application, or MAX6388XS21D7-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.10V reset threshold accuracy, 1200ms VCC timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, auxiliary voltage monitoring capability, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS21D7-T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.10V threshold while simultaneously accepting an external voltage via RESET IN (compared to internal 1.27V reference). Its internal timer ensures reset assertion for ≥1200ms after VCC recovery, independent of transient immunity behavior.
It features a dedicated high-impedance RESET IN input with ≤50nA leakage, enabling resistor-divider-based threshold programming for secondary rail monitoring, and guarantees correct push-pull reset logic state across full 1.0V–5.5V VCC range - critical for ultra-low-voltage brownout protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.10V ±2.5% (–40°C to +125°C); enables precise brownout detection for 2.1V–2.2V core rails |
| VCC Reset Timeout | 1200ms min; ensures μP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail settling |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 1.8V; supports multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull; eliminates need for external pullup and drives high/low actively |
| RESET IN Threshold | 1.27V ±2.5% (–40°C to +125°C); allows user-defined secondary reset point via resistor divider |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; guarantees valid reset signaling even during deep brownout or partial power loss |
| Reset Validity Down to | VCC = 1.0V; ensures deterministic reset state before supply collapse |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS21D7-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 high-density portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor rail; powers internal circuitry and sets reset threshold reference |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output; asserts high during reset condition and deasserts low when VCC and RESET IN exceed thresholds |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into reset comparator |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to internal 1.27V reference; enables dual-rail supervision without external comparators |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC (2.10V) and external rail via RESET IN (1.27V reference), eliminating need for second supervisor IC |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and wearables |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Correct logic state maintained down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring fail-safe behavior during catastrophic brownout |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Rejects short VCC glitches (e.g., <1µs at 100mV overdrive), preventing spurious resets in noisy environments |
| Factory-trimmed accuracy | ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance over full industrial temperature range reduces calibration overhead in production test |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT21D7-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) | Better suited for thermally constrained multilayer boards where SC70 footprint is insufficient | Select when board layout requires smaller height or improved thermal dissipation under sustained load |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold (not adjustable), 200ms timeout (not 1200ms), 1.6μA typical ICC at 3.3V; no RESET IN input | Limited to single-rail 3.3V systems; lacks dual-supply monitoring capability | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-threshold applications where auxiliary monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6388LT21D7-T, the MAX6388XS21D7-T offers superior board-level space efficiency in 4-pin SC70, while versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers essential dual-rail supervision and extended 1200ms timeout - critical for complex embedded boot sequences.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS21D7-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS21D7-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.10V, specified with ±2.5% tolerance over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed bandgap references and matched comparator design, ensuring consistent brownout detection regardless of ambient conditions. The MAX6388XS21D7-T maintains this accuracy without external calibration.
Does MAX6388XS21D7-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6388XS21D7-T includes a dedicated RESET IN pin 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, feeding the midpoint to RESET IN. The MAX6388XS21D7-T asserts reset if either VCC falls below 2.10V or the divided voltage at RESET IN drops below 1.27V - enabling true dual-supply supervision in one device.
What is the reset timeout duration for MAX6388XS21D7-T, and is it configurable?
The MAX6388XS21D7-T provides a fixed minimum reset timeout of 1200ms after VCC rises above the 2.10V threshold. This value is factory-programmed and not user-configurable; it is selected by the "D7" suffix in the part number. The timeout ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessors to complete internal initialization and clock stabilization before release.
Can MAX6388XS21D7-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages, and what is the lower limit?
Yes, the MAX6388XS21D7-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this, internal circuitry may cease operation, but the device ensures deterministic behavior up to the limit. This capability is critical for detecting deep brownout events in battery-powered systems where voltage decay below 1.5V is common prior to shutdown.
What package type and footprint does MAX6388XS21D7-T use, and are land patterns available?
The MAX6388XS21D7-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. Official land patterns and solder mask recommendations are published by Maxim Integrated and accessible via their package database. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts typical in portable and wearable electronics.
